of the guitar. The color of the front side is peach with wooden fiber pattern which intentionally
designed to be clearly visible with our eye. The color of the back side is black, and the color of
the edges is dark brown. The neck of the guitar was painted in black, but the headstock is dark
brown. The tuning pegs or tuning keys are made of white plastic and is attached to the headstock,

neck and the headstock. It is made of white plastic too. The fret of the guitar is mainly made of

The following text is for questions 23 to 26

One day, when an Ant was nimbly running about in search of food, came across a Chrysalis
that was close to its time of change. The Chrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention
of the Ant, who then saw for the first time that it was alive. “Poor, pitiable animal!” cried the Ant
disdainfully. “What a sad fate is yours! While I can run hither and hither, at my pleasure, and, if I
wish, ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, with power only to move a
joint or two or your scaly tail.” The Chrysalis heard all this, but did not try to make any reply.
A few days after, when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained.
Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenly shaded and fanned by the
gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly, “Behold in me, your much pitied friend!” said the
Butterfly, “Boast of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me to listen now” So
saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne along and aloft on the summer breeze, was soon
lost to the sight of the Ant forever.

Questions 27 to 29 refer to the following text.

SETTING UP THE MICROWAVE

1. Place the microwave on a flat, dry surface. A clean counter in your kitchen or a solid, wooden
table would be good for the microwave. Do not put the microwave near a gas or electric range,
such as your stove.

 Make sure the microwave’s air vents on one side are not being blocked.

2. Check that the roller ring and glass tray are secure in the microwave. Most microwaves will
come with a plastic roller ring and a round glass tray. The roller ring and the glass tray should fit
inside the microwave. The glass tray should spin around on the roller ring easily and smoothly.

3. Plug the microwave into a grounded wall outlet. Make sure the outlet is rated for 20 A. This
will ensure it is safe to use to power the microwave.

Note that a microwave from one country may not work or become damaged in another
country. In the Americas and Japan, the outlets are usually rated for 110 V 60 Hz. In Europe,
Asia, and the rest of the world, the outlets are usually rated for 220 V 50 Hz.

Pick an outlet that is not already being used by another appliance or electronic device.

4. Look at the features on the microwave. Check for numbers on the front of the microwave
from 1-9. You can use these numbers to enter in your desired cooking or heating time. There
should also be a Start button on the front that you can use to start the microwave. Most
microwaves will also have a clock on them that you can set using the instructions that came
with the microwave.

Depending on the model, the microwave may have settings for reheating, defrosting, and
cooking food. These settings will automatically heat your food based on whether you want to
reheat it, defrost it, or cook it.

Questions 30 to 33 refer to the following text.

When I was in senior high school, my school held a study tour to Bali and all of the 11th-grade
students participated. I went there with my teachers and friends. We left our school at about 08.00
a.m.

The trip from Blora to Bali only took about one day, but it was quite exhausting because I had to sit
along the way. Luckily, the trip felt short because it was fun. I spent the whole time along the way
singing, joking around, and playing games with my friends.

All of my tiredness has suddenly gone when we arrived at Sanur Beach. It was early in the
morning, so I could see the sunrise. It was really beautiful. Then, we headed for the hotel to take a
rest and had breakfast first before continuing our adventure.

After my energy had fully recharged, then we went to the Nusa Dua Beach. We could do a lot of fun
activities there, such as playing parasailing, banana boat, and so on. I skipped those fun stuff and
preferred to go to a little island which had a lot of reptiles in there, such as snakes, turtles, etc. The
view was wonderful because the island looked like in the middle of the sea.

Next, we went to Garuda Wisnu Kencana. There were two gigantic statues of Wisnu and his bird
named Garuda. The relief on the rock was also amazing but I did not really know the story on it. At
last, we went to one of the biggest bottled tea beverage companies in Bali to do some
observations. We learned how tea bottled beverages were manufactured from the first until the last
step.

Finally, our study tour in Bali was over and we went back to Blora. Although the trip was so tiring, I
felt really happy because I could learn a lot from it and spent the time with my dear friends.

Questions 39 to 42 refer to the following text.

CACTI
Cacti or cactuses are member of the plant family Cactaceae. The word "cactus" derives from the ancient
Greek, kaktos, a name for a spiny plant whose identity is not certain. Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes
and sizes.

Most cacti live in extremely dry environments, even being found in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest
places on earth because cacti can conserve water by doing many adaptions. Almost all cacti have thickened,
fleshy parts adapted to store water. Most species of cacti have lost true leaves, retaining only spines, which
are highly modified leaves. The spines help prevent water loss by reducing air flow close to the cactus and
providing some shade.

Cacti are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the
north—except for Rhipsalis baccifera, which also grows in Africa and Sri Lanka. Cacti have a variety of
uses: many species are used as ornamental plants and others for food (particularly their fruit).
