Questions 1 to 5 refer to the following text.

Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure
with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English
progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs
in language learning.

Firstly, "the song stuck in my head" Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last
song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable
and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs
work on our short-and-long term memory.

Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of
repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are
effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually
simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can
be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample.

Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop
songs and probably many other types don't have precise people, place or time
reference.

In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony
within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in
sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.

Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as
studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs,
learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.

From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and songs,
learning English can be enjoyable, fun, and more effective.

Questions 6 to 10 refer to the following text.

I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that
these phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot and they are handy for
emergencies.

To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance, if
you fall down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can't reach a pay
phone, it is handy to have one to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the
night in a strange neighborhood, it would be dangerous to leave it in search of a public
phone booth.

My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For
example, if you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to
do some important work, it is useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone,
important information can be received. People can't stay in an office all day waiting for
their phone to ring. Some people have to go and do jobs or they will go out of business.
You can even send faxes or messages and use the internet with your mobile.

In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of
everyday life. Instant communication will ensure that information can be passed on with
a simple press of a button. Whether this is to do with business or personal information
or emergencies, it goes to show that they are necessary in the new millennium.

Questions 11 to 15 refer to the following text.

Why is breakfast important? "Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince and Dine like a
Pauper" It's a well-known phrase, but do you follow it?

Breakfast provides many benefits to our health and wellbeing. Breakfast provides the
body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast that's where its name originates,
breaking the fast! Without breakfast you are effectively running on empty, like trying to
start the car with no petrol!

Breakfast supports cognitive function. Breakfast also restores glucose levels, an essential
carbohydrate that is needed for the brain to function. Breakfast provides energy, studies
have shown how eating breakfast can improve memory and concentration levels and it
can also make us happier as it can improve mood and lower stress levels.

Breakfast provides energy needs. People's energy needs vary depending on activity
levels and life stage but typically men require more energy than women. Growing
children require a lot of energy, as an example boys aged 7-10 years should consume
approximately 1970 kcals per day, and girls aged 7-10 years should consume
approximately 1740 kcals.

11. The last paragraph is called ....

(A) thesis.

Questions 16 to 20 refer to the following text.

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly
used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is
the most effective way to control pests.

The chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the
soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.

Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and
stronger ones have to be developed.

Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This
affects the ecology and environment as well.

So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be
chosen and applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological balance and
environment.

Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest
in agriculture and livestock.

16. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides use...

(A) plants.
(B) bees.
(C) fish.
(D) ecology.
(E) human.

17. What can you say about the relation between paragraph 2 and paragraph 4?

(A) The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.
(B) Both paragraphs tell about the disadvantages of using pesticides.
(C) Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm products.
(D) The statement in paragraph two is contrary to the statement in paragraph four.
(E) The second paragraph tells about the effects of using pesticides on animals
mentioned in paragraph four.

Text X-A (Comparing Two Text)

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for overall well-being. Regular exercise, a

balanced diet, and adequate sleep are all essential for maintaining good health. It is also
important to avoid harmful habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

However, despite the importance of a healthy lifestyle, many people still make poor
choices when it comes to their health. Fast food and processed snacks are often more
convenient and accessible than healthy options, and many people lead sedentary lives,
spending hours sitting in front of screens. Additionally, there is a lot of misinformation
and confusion about what constitutes a healthy lifestyle. With so many conflicting diet
and exercise plans on the market, it can be difficult to know what to believe. This can
make it challenging for individuals to make informed decisions about their health.
It is essential that we make a concerted effort to educate ourselves and others about
the importance of a healthy lifestyle. We need to be proactive in seeking out accurate
and reliable information, and we need to make healthy choices more accessible and
convenient. Only then can we truly take control of our health and well-being.

Text X-B

Preventive health care is essential for maintaining good health. Regular check-ups,
screenings, and vaccinations can help identify and prevent potential health problems. It
is also important to be aware of family medical history and genetic risk factors.

However, many people still neglect preventive health care. Some may not have access
to affordable medical care, while others may not see the importance of regular check-
ups. Additionally, there may be a lack of knowledge or understanding about the
importance of preventive health care.

Furthermore, some people may not have the time or resources to devote to preventive
health care. They may have busy work schedules or other responsibilities that prevent
them from making regular doctor's appointments.

It is important that we make a concerted effort to prioritize preventive health care. We

The area of forest in the EU increased by almost 10% in 1990-2020; with the largest
relative increase in Ireland (by 69%) and largest absolute increase in Spain (by 4.7
million ha).

Estimated 63% of the net annual increment of timber in EU forests was logged in 2019.

At the EU level, forestry and logging accounted for almost 0.2% of the total GDP in
2019 and employed about 517 000 people.

This article presents statistics on forestry and logging in the European Union (EU),
including the status and changes in forest area, the volume of timber in EU's forests
and its use by the logging industry. It provides a summary of economic activity of
forestry and logging in Member States. The article is mostly based on Eurostat's
annual data collection European Forest Accounts. Indicators combining both the
physical and the economic data are presented.

The European Union (EU) accounts for approximately 5% of the world's forests and,
contrary to what is happening in many other parts of the world, the forested area of
the EU is slowly increasing. European forests are an important factor in mitigating
climate change. Socio-economically, forests vary from small family holdings to state
forests or to large estates owned by companies, but they also provide a wide range of
ecosystem services, most of which are not recorded by economic accounts and
statistics, such as carbon sequestration, protection of soil from erosion or providing
opportunities for recreation.

If you've ever emerged from the shower or returned from walking your dog with a
clever idea or a solution to a problem you'd been struggling with, it may not be a fluke.
Rather than constantly grinding away at a problem or desperately seeking a flash of
inspiration, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to
have creative breakthroughs or epiphanies when they're doing a habitual task that
doesn't require much thought-an activity innich you're basically on autopilot. This lets
your mind wander or engage in spontaneous cognition or "stream of consciousness"
thinking, which experts believe helps retrieve unusual memories and generate new
ideas.

"People always get surprised when they realize they get interesting, novel ideas at
unexpected times because our cultural narrative tells us we should do it through hard
work," says Kalina Christoff, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of British
Columbia in Vancouver. "It's a pretty universal human experience." They said it is good
to work hard but its is always better to think hard.

Now we're beginning to understand why these clever thoughts occur during more
passive activities and what's happening in the brain, says Christoff. The key, according
to the latest research, is a pattern of brain activity within what's called the default
mode network that occurs while an individual is resting or performing habitual tasks
that don't require much attention.

Researchers have shown that the default mode network (DMN) which connects more
than a dozen regions of the brain becomes more active during mind-wandering, or
passive tasks than when you're doing something that demands focus. Simply put, the
DMN is "the state the brain returns to when you're not actively engaged," explains
Roger Beaty, a cognitive neuroscientist and director of the Cognitive Neuroscience of
Creativity Lab at Penn State University. By contrast, when you're mired in a demanding
task, the brain's executive control systems keep your thinking focused, analytical, and
logical.

A cautionary note: While the default mode network plays a key role in the creative
process, "it's not the only important network," Beaty says. "Other networks come into
play as far as modifying, rejecting, or implementing ideas." So it's unwise to place
blind faith in ideas that are generated in the shower or during any other bout of mind
wandering.

6. What point is mainly discussed in the passage above?

(A) The reason why people should take longer shower in daily basis.
(B) The explanation of why our mind is hard to work when we are busy.
(C) The science of why we have great ideas when our brain is in it's calm state.
(D) The description why shower can help us to solve our toughest problems.
(E) The experiment that proves why human thought is depending on the activity of the
body.

7. Which statement is true about DMN based on the passage above?

(A) It connects more than a hundred regions of the brain to be more active.
(B) It has less result than when the brain demands more work and focus.
(C) It is more active when the brain is used to do hard work.
(D) It is the condition when the brain is in the more restful state.
(E) It requires more energy to be actively useful.

8. What we can imply from the last paragraph?

(A) Other networks that come into play besides the default mode are; modifying,
rejecting, creating, and adjusting ideas.
(B) Great ideas can always be obtained from daily shower.
(C) When we are mired in a demanding task, the brain's executive control systems
keep our thinking focused.
(D) Unwise faith emerged when people rarely in the calm state of their minds.
(E) Default mode network doesn't stand alone to be the key role in the creative
process.

9. The author use the sentence; "So it's unwise to place blind faith in ideas that are
generated in the shower or during any other bout of mind wandering" (last paragraph)
to convey the meaning

(A) The ideas produced from the calm state of the brain can't just be ignored.
(B) The ideas generated from the mind wandering state are always good to be taken.
(C) Inspirations from DMN are thought to be the finest products of human minds.
(D) It is not wise to place faith on the ideas that are not generated from our own
minds.
(E) Doing shower get us to produce unwise faith of our minds to solve any problem in
human life.

10. Which sentence is irrelevant with the topic discussed in the passage?
(A) First sentence of the third paragraph.
(B) Last sentence of the first paragraph.
(C) First sentence of the last paragraph.
(D) Last sentence of the second paragraph.
(E) Last sentence of the fourth paragraph.

11. Whom is this reading likely intended to?

(A) psycologist.
(B) author.
(C), social experts.
(D) General readers.
(E) People with mental disorder.

12. The author's attitude toward the topic discussed in the text is....

(A) Exaggerative.
(B) Compulsive.
(C) Assertive.
(D) Informative.
(E) Concerned.

13. How is the idea in paragraph 3 related to the one in paragraph 4?

(A) The previous paragraph shows how brain can produce good ideas, while the next
paragraph giving an explanation that it is almost impossible to happen.
(B) The previous paragraph describes the condition of why brain is able to make smart
idea, then the following paragraph refutes it by giving the evidences.
(C) The previous paragraph admits that brain can really make clever ideas, and the
next paragraph supports it by giving an example.
(D) The previous paragraph explains the cause of why good ideas occur when the brain
work passively, so the next paragraph explain the effect if this condition.

it is possible to happen.
Read the following infographic and answer questions number 14-20!
TEXT A
The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year round warmth. An
average of 50 to 260 inches (125 to 660 cm.) or rain falls yearty.

Rainforests now cover less than 6% of Earth's land surface. Scientists estimate that
more than half of all the world's plant and animal species live in tropical rain forests.
Tropical rainforests produce 40% of Earth's oxygen.

A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world.
Scientists have counted about 100 to 300 species in one 2.5-acre (1 hectare) area in
South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees.

About 1/4 of all the medicines we use come from rain forest plants. Curare comes
from a tropical vine, and is used as an anesthetic and to relax muscles during surgery.
Quinine, from the Cinchona tree is used to treat malaria. A person with lymphocytic
leukemia has a 99% chance that the disease will go into decrease because of the rosy
periwinkle. More than 1,400 varianties of tropical plants are thought to be potential
cures for cancer.

Each of the three largest rain forests - the American, the African, and the Asian has a
different group of animal and plant species. Each rain forest has many species of
monkeys, all of which differ from the species of the other two rain forests. In addition,
different areas of the same rainforest may have different species. Many kinds of trees
that grow in the mountains of the Amazon rain forest do not grow in the lowlands of
that same forest.

TEXT B
Though dry forests occur in climates that are warm year-round, and may receive
several hundred centimetres of rain per year, they deal with long dry seasons which
last several months and vary with geographic location. These seasonal droughts have
great impact on all living things in the forest.
Deciduous trees predominate these forests, and during the drought a leafless period
occurs, which varies with species type. The newly bare trees open up the canopy layer,
enabling sunlight to reach ground level and facilitate the growth of thick under brush.
Though less biologically diverse than rain forests, tropical dry forests are still home to
a wide variety of wildlife including monkeys, large cats, parrots, various rodents, and
ground dwelling birds. Many of these species display extraordinary adaptations to the
difficult climate.

The most diverse dry forests in the world occur in southern Mexico and in the Bolivian
lowlands. The dry forests of the Pacific Coast of north western South America support
a wealth of unique species due to their isolation. The dry forests of central India and
Indochina are notable for their diverse large vertebrate faunas. Dry forests of
Madagascar and New Caledonia are also highly distinctive (pronounced endemism and
a large number of Relictual taxa) for a wide range of rara and at higher taxonomic
levels.

Species tend to have wider ranges than moist forest species, although in some regions
many species do display highly restricted ranges; most dry forest species are restricted
to tropical dry forests, particularly in plants; beta diversity and alpha diversity high but
typically lower than adjacent moist forests.

14. Dealir, with the point discussed in the Text A paragraph 4, from the last sentence it
can he predicted that?

(A) There is no medicines derived from rain forest plants proven to be successful.
(B) There might be more studies conducted to find the medications from tropical
forest plants.
(C) The scientists need more evidence to convince the public about the effectiveness
of the medicines.

In addition to being pleasant and reducing thirst, drinking tea turns out to be also
beneficial for health. Some research results show that drinking tea is beneficial for
health if the amount of tea consumed is not excessive.

Female First writes that a new study in the United Kingdom shows that drinking tea
regulary can help reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. To analyze the
relationship between tea consumption and the reduced the risk of breast cancer,
researchers conducted 39 studies of the benefits of tea consumption in 13,204 breast
cancer patients. Based on the results of these studies, entioxidant properties in tea
can help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Taking tea regularly causes a 21% reduction
in breast cancer risk. According to a female health specialist, Dr. Catherine Hood from
"The Tea Advisory Panel (TAP)" to Female First, this finding is related to the level of
polyphenols in tea. Tea is rich in polyphenols, including catechins and gallocatchins,
which have been known to function as antioxidants and to have anti-tumor effects.
The latest research conducted Dr. Tim Bond from The Tea Advisory Panel (TAP) shows
that consuming black tea lowers cardiovascular risks. Flavonoid in tea helps improve
blood vessel functions. In this study, 20 healthy people consumed tea three times a
day for one week. The results show that the blood vessel function of these people
increase after consuming tea that is not brewed with hot water.

According to the Daily Mail, scientists from Taiwan reported that consuming three
cups of tea a day helps prevent heart disease and improves blood circulation. Drinking
more than 450 ml of tea every day will reduce the risk of arteries becoming stiff, with
a reduced risk of 22%. Research conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health,
America, also shows that tea has many health benefits. Besides being able to lower
blood pressure, tea can also help prevent the ovaries and digestive system cancer.
Consuming three cups of black tea or green tea every day can help prevent strokes.
Drinking green tea, in particular, can help reduce the risk of breast, prostate, and
endometrial caricer.

(E) It may increase the risk of cancer.

The following text is for questions number 23 to 25.

A number of studies have looked at possible links between green tea and
cardiovascular disease. A study of 40,530 Japanese adults found that participants who
drank more than five cups of green tea a day had a 26% lower risk of death from heart
attack or stroke and a 16% lower risk of death from all causes than people who drank
less than one cup of green tea a day. Last year, a meta-analysis of observational
studies-13 conducted in green tea drinkers and five in black tea drinkers found that
people who drank the most green tea had a 28% lower risk of coronary artery disease
than those who drank the least green tea.

There is also some evidence from early studies to suggest that having green tea might
reduce the risk of some cancers. But at the moment the evidence is not strong enough
to know this for sure. People with cancer drink green tea because they believe it might
boost their immune system which might help them fight their cancer, improve health,
energy levels and wellbeing, get rid of toxins in the body, give them some control over
their cancer and its treatment, treat their cancer if no other conventional treatment
can.

When it comes to skin health, drinking green tea has been found to delay aging,
protect the skin from UV rays, improve skin tone, and reduce acne. Perhaps not too
surprising is the fact that applying green tea topically can also really benefit the skin. It
has vast antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to reduce issues
associated with acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and many other skin concerns. The powerful
antioxidant superpower means that green tea delays the signs of sun damage, slack
skin, age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. That's because the polyphenols neutralize the
free radicals that accelerate your skin's aging process. It's been proven to improve
your overall complexion by flushing out toxins in skin, and improving the appearance
of blemishes and scars.

The Journal of the American Medical Association Dermatology notes that "green teas
possess anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic potential, which can be exploited
against a variety of skin disorders." The researchers go on to say that
"supplementation of skin care products with green tea may have a profound impact
on various skin disorders in the years to come."
