The following text is for questions 36-37.
Animal testing is a deeply divided
subject, with a great deal of passion,
emotion, and ideas on both sides
regarding the ethic of the practice. Some
individuals support animal testing and
some others oppose the issue.
The scientific community is
strongly in favor of animal testing. The
medical breakthroughs that have occurred
as a result of animal testing are
considered reason enough to continue the
practice, with the aim of reducing human
suffering and saving human lives. Animal
testing aids the researchers in finding
drugs and treatments to improve health
and medicine. Many medical treatments
have been made possible by animal
testing, including cancer and HIV drugs,
insulin, antibiotics, vaccines, and many
more. Animal testing also helps to ensure
the safety of the drugs and many other
substances humans use or are exposed to
regularly. Scientists typically use the
animals for testing purposes because they
are considered similar to humans.
The contra on the issue of animal
testing is that countless animals are
experimented on and then killed after their
use. Others are injured and will still live in
the rest of their lives in captivity. Many of
these animals received tests for
substances that will never actually be used
for public consumption and use. Animal
testing generally costs an enormous
amount of money as the animals must be
fed, housed, cared for, and treated with
drugs or experimental substances. The
price of the animals themselves must also
be factored into calculation.
As a result of the controversy,
regulations and laws should be enforced.
At the very least, animal suffering should
be minimized and that animals should be
respected during their care.
36. Which of the following is the reason why
Penilaian Akhir Semester /Tahun Pelajaran 2019 - 2020 / LINTAS MINAT-BAHASA INGGRIS XII
Scientists use animal for testing?
A. Animals are the exact copy of humans.
B. Animals and humans are regarded alike.
C. Animals can reduce human suffering.
D. Medical treatments can be given to
animals.
E. Cancer and HIV can be found in
animals.
37. The scientific community is strongly in favor
of animal testing (paragraph 2, line 1).
What is the synonym of the underlined
word?
A. Disagree with
B. Object to
C. Oppose
D. Approve of
E. Contradict
The following text is for question 38-42
SLIME: TOY OR TOXIC?
Slime is a toy that takes form of an
oozy and squishy substance created from
mixing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with borax
solution. It is now a major trend and not
only kids, but also adults are playing it and
posting ASMR videos (videos that satisfy
viewers with specific sounds) on various
social media platforms. Slime is commonly
made from glue, activator (borax solution),
food coloring (to add eye catching colors),
glitter, beads, clay and many more
decorations to please the eye. Some
people disapprove of its popularity but the
majority of the population is still attracted
to it.
On one side, kids and adults (mostly
female) who do play slime consider it as a
stress reliever due to its fun texture and
the clicking noise that is produced while
poking it. Major glue companies, such as
Elmer’s, are now creating slime kits to
benefit from slime’s booming popularity,
bringing a huge profit for glue companies. 
Elmer's spokesperson Caitlin Watkins did
recently tell NBC News that the company
saw an increase in liquid glue sales in the
second half of 2016 "due in large part to
slime mania," and then added that they
now plan to increase production. Children
often make homemade slime and selling it
online to other kids and this creates an
early entrepreneur behavior on kids. Kids
who sell slime or “slimers” are making
approximately five million rupiahs a month
from their sales. Slime is also considered
a fidget toy or a concentration tool and it
helps toddlers develop their motor abilities
by identifying different textures and
manipulating forms.

The following text is for questions 46-50.
Advantages of Living in a Big City
Do you live in a big city? It is said
that living in big cities is expensive
because of the high living cost. There are
also pollution and traffic problems that
make living in big cities unpleasant.
However, many people enjoy living in big
cities because they offer convenience and
countless options for entertainment.
Many big cities already have good
public transportation systems, which make
it easy for the citizens to go anywhere
around the city. This also reduces and
helps overcome the problem of traffic jams
that often occur at peak times. With the
convenience of public transportation, the
citizens do not have to drive everywhere
and can save money as they do not have
to pay for parking charges.
Staying healthy is everybody’s
concern and in big cities you can find the
best possible medical care for any
diseases, especially the severe ones.
Moreover, compared to rural areas,
access to medical treatment is easier
because there are always clinics or
medical centers that open 24 hours in
many parts of the city so you can get
medical help anytime, as soon as you
need it. Reaching hospitals is also easier
as public transport is usually available 24
hours a day.
There is a saying that big cities
never sleep. This is true for some cities in
which the night life begins just when
people in other cities are ready to go to
bed. Big cities like New York, Madrid,
London and Paris have vibrant nightlife.
People can still find entertainment, dine
out or go shopping into the early hours.  C. Go jogging
City dwellers are usually more
diverse and there are many communities
that hold social events or parties, which
provide interesting opportunities for social
interactions and social networking. The
social interactions allow you to learn about
other cultures and share interests with
people from different backgrounds, which
makes you more open minded and able to
understand individuals. On the other hand,
the social networking helps you to broaden
not only personal but also professional
relationships.
All in all, living in big cities is more
Penilaian Akhir Semester /Tahun Pelajaran 2019 - 2020 / LINTAS MINAT-BAHASA INGGRIS XII
convenient because of the complete
facilities provided. The advanced
transportation system enables the citizens
to access public facilities easier, cheaper
and faster. Big cities also provide better
education and health service. In addition,
city life is more fun and exciting because
there is a wide range of entertainment to
enjoy and a lot of social events to attend. 
46. Why do many people like living in big cities?
A. It is more expensive.
B. It is more modern.
C. It is more crowded.
D. It is more exciting.
E. It is more challenging.
47. What is the advantage of a good public
transportation system?
A. People do not need to buy bus tickets.
B. People do not need to drive their car
everywhere.
C. People can use public transport for free.
D. People have to pay for parking charges.
E. People can commute to their home fast.
48. Why is it easier to get medical treatment in
big cities?
A. Because medical treatment is more
affordable.
B. Because hospital facilities are more
complete.
C. Because ambulances are provided for
free.
D. Because medical centers open 24
hours.
E. Because the doctors always stay
awake.
49. What can people in big cities do in the early
hours but people in rural areas cannot?
A. Dine out
B. Make shower
D. Have party
E. Do sport
50. What is the benefit of attending social
events?
