The life span of an elephant that dies from natural causes is about sixty
five years. Of course, an elephant can perish from a number of
unnatural causes. E.g it can be killed by hunters, most probably for the
valuable ivory in its tusk ; it can die from diseases that spread
throughout an elephant herd ; or it can die from drought or from the
lack of food that almost certainly accompanies the inadequate supply of
water.
If, however, an elephant survives these disasters, it falls prey to old age
in its mid sixties. Around this age, the cause of death is attributes the
final set of molars. When this last set of teeth is gone, the elephant dies
from malnutrition because it is unable to obtain adequate nourisment. In
old age, elephants tend to search out a final home where there is
shade for comfort the sun and soft vegetation for cushioning ; the bones
of many old elephants have been found in such places.

a. Fall ill
b. Shoot
c. Die

Section 4 : Reading Comprehension (51-60)

The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times
greater than
Earths, contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets
combined. It is thought
to be a gaseous and fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been
somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal
temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear
6 reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its own right. Jupiter
and the other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from
the terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly of such
substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike
terrestrial planets. Much of Jupiters interior might be in the form of
liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under
pressures of millions of kilograms per
12 square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the
hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with the properties
of a metal. Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter
might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth.
Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours. As a result, its clouds,
which are composed largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been
whipped into alternating dark and bright
19 bands that circle the planet at different speeds in different latitudes.
Jupiters puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the
Southern Hemisphere. Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic
hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit
inside it), lasts for hundreds of years.
Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. Perhaps
this is primeval
25heat or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the
planet. Another starlike characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural
satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease in
density with distancefrom rocky moons close to Jupiter
to icy moons farther away. If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive,
it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the
early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most
important clues about the origin of the Solar System.
51.The word Attained in line 4 is closest meaning to .

a. Attempted
b. Changed
c. Lost
d. Reached
Halaman 11 dari 15
e. Contained
52.According to the passage, some scientists believe Jupiter and Earth
are similar in that they both have
a. Solid surfaces
b. Similar masses
c. Similar atmospheres
d. Metallic cores
e. Same Composition of substance
53.Why does the author mention primeval heat (lines 19-20) ?
a. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the Sun
b. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the other planets
c. To suggest a possible explanation for the number of satellites that
Jupiter has
d. To suggest a possible source of the quantity of heat that Jupiter
gives off
e. None is true
54. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
a. If Jupiter had fewer satellites, it would be easier for scientists to
study the planet itself.
b. If Jupiter had had more mass, it would have developed internal
nuclear reactions.
c. If Jupiter had been smaller, it would have become a terrestrial planet.
d. if Jupiter were larger, it would give off much less heat
e. All is true
55. It can be inferred from the passage that the appearance of alternating bands

Opportunity in the Global Financial Crisis
US. financial crisis and its contagion to Europe and the rest of the
world could also create new opportunity for Indonesia in term of foreign
direct investment and the development of basic infrastructure.
As the US. financial crisis has now spread to Europe, the oil-rich
countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Arab Emirate which have
accumulated hundreds of billion of Dollars in their foreign reserve, are
now reviewing their holding or investment vehicle. They are looking for
more diversified investment outside the US and Europe. Because of
unfavorable political developments in Thailand and Malaysia over the
past few months, Indonesia which has largely Moslem population could
become one of these oil-rich countries' favorite place for foreign direct
investment. That wil be true if the conditions, legal and market
infrastructure are conducive for Islamic financial instruments.
The government had improved the legal framework with the
recent actment of laws on sharia banking and bonds. The long term
nature of Islamic bonds could make them the most suitable investment
instrument for Indonesia, as these bonds grant an investor a share in an
asset along with the cash flows and risks commensurate with such
ownership.
The financial crisis that has gripped the globe and weakening
economic growth in the rest of the world will serve to the government to
accelerate the investment reform measures in order to grab the hidden
opportunity in the global crisis.
