Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away.
Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be
recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using
new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution
alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The
most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are
collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a
processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a
big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then
goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is
skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood
fibers to be made into paper again.
Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of
paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper
saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and replace
the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried
in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by
the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive
juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the food
is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters the
small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food
onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch
projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll enter the amazing world of
chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in
places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a
small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also known as cocoa beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker.
The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different
places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive
mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its
shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called
chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different.
However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs form liquid. It’s pure bitter chocolate.

9. The text is about …

A. the cacao tree
B. the cacao beans
C. the raw chocolate
D. the making of chocolate
E. the flavour of chocolate
10. The third paragraph focuses on …

What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a food-making process that occurs in green plants. It is the
chief function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means putting together with light. Green plants use
energy from light to combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and other chemical compounds.
How is the light used in photosynthesis?
The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed by a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-making
cell in a plant leaf contains chlorophyll in small bodies called chloroplasts. In chloroplast, light energy
causes water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.
What are the steps of photosynthesis process? Let me tell you the process of photosynthesis, in a series
of complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air, forming a simple sugar.
Oxygen from the water molecules is given off in the process. From sugar together with nitrogen, sulphur,
and phosporus from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and other complex
compounds essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to produced
these compounds.

Teks Explanation 5
Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is made of vegetable oil.
To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw materials. The raw materials needed in
the production of Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of vegetable product. One
of the most common vegetables used in the production of Biodiesel is corn, although depending on the
geographic location of the manufacturing facility many other plants are used as well (rapeseed, soybeans,
flaxseed, etc.). The first step is to use the raw vegetable product to make vegetable oil. Vegetable oil by
itself will not be what you need to power a car, from here it has to be processed into Biodiesel.
The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is sometimes called ester interchange. To
complete this process the vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of methanol and then
put in the presence of a small quantity of an alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1% sodium hydroxide).
Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides, which is a compound of the trivalent alcohol glycerin
with three fatty acids. The goal of ester interchange is to separate the glycerin molecule from the three
fatty acids and replace it with three methanol molecules. This process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel
and 10% of a glycerin byproduct. The glycerin byproduct can be used in a number of other chemical
processes for different industries.

17. What is the text about?

A. The process of making Biodiesel
B. The use of the Biodiesel.
C. The advantage of using the Biodiesel.

A. The three fatty acids with the glycerin molecules.
B. The glycerin molecule with three methanol molecules
C. Methanol with the three fatty acids.
D. Vegetable oil with methanol
E. Methanol and alkaline catalyst.
19. According to the text, one of the advantages in using biodiesel is…
A. it is cheap.
B. it only uses vegetable oil.
C. it uses replaceable materials.
D. it can be done in small industry.

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes
great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are
homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the
surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief
can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and
can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be
absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring
destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to
surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring
swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were
invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain
from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the
flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village,
only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and
neighborhoods before being controlled. (Soal UN SMA/MA IPA 2011/2012)

Teks Explanation 7
The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just mixtures of two
or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are connected to
the brain by special nerves which send the so-called ‘tastes messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste. The
nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this happens in just a
few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These four groups
are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its sides. Sour
tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter taste are found at the
innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste. Similarly,
attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell good or is dull-
coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold, when
placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.

A cell phone is a great gadget in this modern world. What is a cell phone? A cell phone is actually a radio
in certain way. Like a radio, by a cell phone we can communicate to other people in real time. Million
people use cell phone for their communication. Even nowadays, people use cell phones to communicate
in voice, written and data. Alexander Graham Bell is the person who make great change in the way
people communicate to each other. He invented a telephone in 1876. While wireless radio was formally
known in 18994 presented by Guglielmo Marconi. By these two technologies, then a cell phone was born.
However do you know how actually cell phones work?
This short explanation on how a cell phone work is really wonderful. A cell phone or in long term “cellular
telephone’ works by transmitting signals of radio to towers of cellular. The towers are networked to a
central switching station. The connection usually uses wire, fiber optic-cables, or microwave.
Then the central switching station which handles calls in certain given area is directed connected to the
wire-based telephone system. Cellulars are pick up by the towers and relayed to another cellular
telephone user or the user of wire-based telephone network.
the towers vary in the capacity and capability to receive signals. Some can receive the signal from short
distance and the others can receive more distance. However, there are usually more than one tower in
certain given area so that the system can handle the increasing telephone traffic.

Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs. About 36,000 to 50,000 eggs are laid, and
these are carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they are ready to hatch. The eggs hatch into
caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the caterpillars are ready to spin their cocoons. Not all
caterpillars can spin silk cocoons. Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth known as ‘Bombyx mari’ can
do such spinning. This caterpillar has special glands which secrete liquid silk through its lower lip. The
liquid produced later hardens to form tine strands.
The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these strands. The threads on the outside of the cocoon are
rough, while those inside are soft and smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are then put into hot water
to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are reeled off the cocoons.
The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about one-and-a-half kilometers.
Being twisted together several of these threads make single woven materials.

A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high temperatures and
increased pressure beneath the surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately 1 F for every
sixty feet under the earth’s surface, and pressure increases with depth, the water that seeps down in
crack and fissures until it reaches very hot rock in the earth interior becomes heated to temperature in
excess of 290 F. Because of the greater pressure, the water shoots out of the surface in the form of
steam and hot water. The result is a geyser. In order to function, then a geyser must have a source of
heat, reservoir where water can be stored until the temperature rises to an unstable point, an opening
through which the hot water and steam can escape, and underground channels for resupplying water
after an eruption.
Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world including New Zealand, Iceland, and
the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser in the world is Old
Faithfull in Yellow Park. Old Faithfull erupts almost every hour, rising to a height of 125 to 170 feet and
expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.

A kite is an object which is made from a light material stretched over a frame. Due to its light material a
kite will lift off the ground and fly when it is tilted into the wind.
A kite uses wind to make it fly because it is heavier than air. When wind travels over the surface of the
kite, it is split into two streams of air. One stream of the air goes over the kite while the second stream
goes under the kite.
The upper stream above the kite. The lower stream hits the kite at a shallow angle and creates an area of
high pressure.
The high pressure area has a pushing effect while the low pressure area has a pulling effect. The
combination of push and pull can creates enough force to lift the kite into the air.

Teks Explanation 12
Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air pollutants
dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8.
Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have lost all fish
and plant life because of acid rain.
Acid rain comes from sulfur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulfur dioxide (SO2 ). Most sulfur
leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) and most nitrogen are also emitted as one
of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2 ), both of which are gasses. The gasses may be dry deposited–
absorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for
anytime, the gasses will oxidize (gain an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H2
SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid (HNO3 ). The acids usually dissolve in cloud
droplets and may travel great distances before being precipitated as acid rain.
Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium help promote the formation of acids in
clouds. More ammonium (NH4 ) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralized by
airborne ammonia (NH3 ). Acidification increases with the number of active hydrogen (H+) ions dissolved
in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by, for example, car exhausts will react in sunlight with nitrogen oxides to
produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low-level ozone causes respiratory problems
and also hastens the formation of acid rain. When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates
heavy metals and aluminum (Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminum irritates the outer surfaces of
many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer the effect of acid
rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vital nutrients, and through the increased amounts of
toxic metals liberated by acid, which damage roots and soil microorganisms.

Dear Frodi,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for
your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the
illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my
sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for
you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss

Jawaban dan Pembahasan
No. Jawaban Penjelasan
1 D kalimat active diatas merupakan kalimat present continuous tense, jika ingin mengubahnya menjadi passive
maka menggunakan rumus passive voice untuk present continuous, yaitu S + Is/am/are + Being + Verb3.
2 D ini juga present continuous tense, maka menggunakan rumus passive voice untuk present continuous tense
juga. Ketika anda ingin mengubah active to passive, maka anda terlebih dahulu melihat tense yang
digunakan kalimat active tersebut, kemudian ubahlah menjadi passive voice dengan rumus passive voice
yang sesuai dengan tense kalimat active tersebut.
3 C itu merupakan present perfect tense, maka rumus passive voice yang digunakan adalah S + Have/has +
Been + Verb3.
4 B simple present tense, maka gunakan rumus S + Is/am/are + Verb3.
5 A simple past tense, maka gunakanlah rumus ini S + Was/were + Verb3.
6 C bagian yang kosong (kalimat kedua) merupakan present continuous tense, maka gunakan rumus S +
Is/am/are + Being + Verb3. Ingat ya, dalam menyusun passive voice, anda harus memperhatikan apa yang
akan anda bicarakan dan tense apa yang akan anda gunakan, kemudian sesuaikan rumusnya dengan tense
tersebut.
7 A present continuous tense, rumus yang digunakan adalah S + Is/am/are + Being + Verb3.
8 C ini juga merupakan present continuous tense, perhatikan time signal “at the moment” yang menunjukkan
continuous. Maka menggunakan rumus S + Is/am/are + Being + Verb3.
9 A lagi-lagi ini juga present continuous tense, perhatikan time signal “now” yang juga menandakan
continuous. Maka menggunakan rumus S + Is/am/are + Being + Verb3. Ingat juga ya, untuk menentukan
tense apa yang digunakan, anda juga harus memperhatikan time signal (jika ada) atau bentuk verb dan
susunannya.
10 A ini merupakan present perfect tense, perhatikan time signal “since” yang menunjukkan perfect. Maka
menggunakan rumus S + Have/has + Been + Verb3.
11 C ini merupakan simple present tense, perhatikan time signal ‘every week” yang menunjukkan sebuah
kebiasaan yang merupakan salah satu fungsi simple present tense. Maka menggunakan rumus S + Is/am/are
+ Verb3.
12 A ini merupakan past perfect tense, perhatikan time signal dan bagian “before my father came” yang
menunjukkan tanda past perfect tense. Maka menggunakan rumus S + Had + Been + Verb3. Sebelum anda
mempelajari passive voice, sebenarnya anda harus menguasai terlebih dahulu semua materi tenses, agar
anda tahu apa saja yang menjadi tanda-tanda suatu tenses tertentu.
