INTRODUCTION
1. The Background
TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language which is the most important thing for
someone who wants to continue their higher education or to apply for a job and register for school
abroad. TOEFL as a reference to find out whether the person is proficient in English or not.
The types of TOEFL available are PBT, CBT and iBT. For the PBT (paper-based test) version,
since 1998, it has been held online using a computer (Computer-based Testing / CBT) and since 2005
it has been called iBT (Internet-based Test). In places that cannot implement CBT or iBT because
there are no computer facilities and internet networks, the TOEFL is still held manually using paper
and pencil (paper-based test). Varied TOEFL questions and psychological factors that are not ready
to face TOEFL due to lack of practice, of course, will indirectly make the TOEFL score obtained is
not optimal. To get a good and maximum TOEFL test score, it is necessary to practice as often as
possible in facing the test. The more often you practice, the easier it will be to do the test.
Based on the background of the problem, the following problem formulations can be made:

the United States called ETS (Educational Testing Service). TOEFL is important for friends who

3.3 Reading Comprehension
Questions 1-5
A distinctively American architecture began with Frank Lloyd Wright, who had taken to heart
the admonition that form should follow function and who thought of buildings not as separate
architectural entities but as parts of an organic whole that included the land, the community, and
the society. In a very real way the houses of colonial New England and some of the southern
plantations had been functional, but Wright was the first architect to make functionalism the
authoritative principle for public as well as for domestic buildings. As early as 1906 he built the
Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, the first of those churches that did so much to revolutionize
ecclesiastical architecture in the United States. Thereafter he turned his genius to such
miscellaneous structures as houses, schools, office buildings, and factories, among them the
famous Larkin Building in Buffalo, New York, and the Johnson Wax Company building in
Racine, Wisconsin.

Questions 6-16
There are two basic types of glaciers, those that flow outward in all directions with little regard
for any underlying terrain and those that are confined by terrain to a particular path.
The first category of glaciers includes those massive blankets that cover whole continents,
appropriately called ice sheets. There must be over 50,000 square kilometers of land covered
with ice for the glacier to qualify as an ice sheet. When portions of an ice sheet spread out over
the ocean, they form ice shelves.
About 20,000 years ago the Cordilleran Ice Sheet covered nearly all the mountains in southern
Alaska, western Canada, and the western United States. It was about 3 kilometers deep at its
thickest point in northern Alberta. Now there are only two sheets left on Earth, those covering
Greenland and Antarctica. Any domelike body of ice that also flows out in all directions but
covers less than 50,000 square kilometers is called an ice cap. Although ice caps are rare
nowadays, there are a number in northeastern Canada, on Baffin Island, and on the Queen
Elizabeth Islands.
The second category of glaciers includes those of a variety of shapes and sizes generally called
mountain or alpine glaciers. Mountain glaciers are typically identified by the landform that
controls their flow. One form of mountain glacier that resembles an ice cap in that it flows
outward in several directions is called an ice field. The difference between an ice field and an ice
cap is subtle. Essentially, the flow of an ice field is somewhat controlled by surrounding terrain
and thus does not have the domelike shape of a cap. There are several ice fields in the Wrangell.
St. Elias, and Chugach mountains of Alaska and northern British Columbia.
Less spectacular than large ice fields are the most common types of mountain glaciers: the cirque
and valley glaciers. Cirque glaciers are found in depressions in the surface of the land and have a
characteristic circular shape. The ice of valley glaciers, bound by terrain, flows down valleys,
curves around their corners, and falls over cliffs.
Basically, TOEIC is a bit harder than TOEIC Bridge. TOEIC Bridge is a simple version of
TOEIC usually used by institutions looking for a starter test for new English beginner. TOEIC
Bridge last one hour and the content focuses on everyday English with family and friends which

know the company is trying to cut costs.
Woman: Actually I'm not flying. I'm going to the conference by bus. I have to leave tomorrow
because it's going to take two days to get there.
Man: That's right. I forgot that you are afraid of flying. Are you taking a vacation day tomorrow?
Woman: Well, I worked some overtime last week, so I just banked it instead of wasting a holiday
day.
Good morning ladies and gentleman. This is your tour guide speaking. I hope you have enjoyed

TOEIC Practice - Part 5: Incomplete Sentences
Part 5 marks the beginning of the reading skills section. In this section you will read a sentence
that has one blank spot. There will be four choices of words or phrases to choose from. You will
have to choose the one that you think completes the sentence. When the sentence is complete it
must be grammatically correct.
Example 1:
First you will read a sentence with a blank.
Despite having four years of experience in software programming, Mr. Jones hadn't used a word
processing program __________.
Next you will read four choices. Choose the word or phrase that best fits into the blank.
A) prior
B) advanced
C) previous
D) before
Explanation 1:
Choices A is an adjective.(I have a prior engagement.)
Choice B is a verb.(I advanced the money to her.)
Choice C is an adjective.(That was my previous job.)
The correct answer is D. The sentence requires an adverb.
You don't need to spend all of your hard earned money on bakery bread. Making your own bread
at home is easy with the new Double Duty Dough Mixer by Berring. Unlike other bread
machines that can be difficult to clean and store, the Double Duty Dough Mixer breaks down
into five parts that can go directly into your dishwasher. This stainless steel appliance will mix
dough for you in a fraction of the time it takes to knead dough by hand. The automated delay
feature at the beginning of the mix cycle gives your ingredients time to reach room temperature,
ensuring that your breads will rise as high as bakery bread. We guarantee that the accompanying
Berring Best Breads recipe book will be a family favourite.
