SBMPTN 2 TEXT 1

Although the twentieth century saw the rise of women as professional musicians, the majority of composers and performers were, and still are, men. The music industry in the U.S. and Britain overwhelmingly reflects the values of a patriarchal society; the success or failure of a female artist is based largely on her physical appearance and gendered performance style. Blues, rock, and pop began as genres dominated by men, and thus included styles of dress, lyrics, and sound born of a male perspective. The history of these genres, then, is also a history of women seeking to locate their space within a predominately masculine musical environment.

Women are always judged, in part, on their image, and it is through the manipulation of this image that some women artists have been able to push the boundaries of gender identity. Women have been able to enter popular genres of music either by playing with the aesthetics of masculinity, or by playing into a male expectation of femininity. Sexuality, therefore, is a tool women continue to use to shape and reshape their place within popular music.

Pushing boundaries is a balancing act, however, and a contradictory process. In order to gain access to the world of popular music, a female artist must at once be pleasing her audience, and, at the same time, remain true to herself as a woman. A desire to be too much ―one of the guys‖ can lead to identity problems and ultimately to self-destruction. An artist's use of irony or parody may run the risk of being mistaken for genuineness, causing her to be objectified. Working within the limits of popular music has proven difficult and dangerous for women. But due to the professionalism and inventiveness of many female performers, the space for women in popular music is being expanded and redefined.

1. The passage suggests which of the following about the 20th century? A. Female musicians were tolerated because of their physical appearance. B. Professional male musicians did not respect women.

C. Song lyrics changed over time to fit the most current female perspective. D. Rapid technological advancements helped women achieve notoriety in music.

E. Women's musical progress happened slowly and with much struggle.

2. Which of the following best describes summarizes the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Entering the music world is not easy for women but they are making progress. B. Parody and irony are the only ways in which women can hope to achieve success in

music.

C. Women in popular music cannot escape being judged on their appearance. D. Women assume stereotypically female appearances in order to attract audiences. E. Popular music has space for women if only they would seek it out.

TEXT 2

By, 2050, there will be another two to three billion people on Earth, and the planet‘s population will consume twice as much food as now. For 50 years farmland has grown at the cost of natural habitat and biodiversity, and already more than two thirds of agricultural land is either in use or protected.

As a result, we need to develop the technology to double the output of the 10 – 15 main calorie crops, particularly if we are to alleviate the burden on developing countries of feeding a rapidly growing population, argues Jason Clay of the WWF in the journal Nature. He makes some strategic suggestions—described as ―food wedges‖ for Africa, the continent that faces the greatest challenge of increasing food production. Clay believes the responsible use of genetics is one of the keys. He suggests that mapping the genomes of staple food crops such as yams, plantains and cassava, and selecting genetic traits, can both increase production and improve drought tolerance, disease resistance and nutrient content.

Improving agricultural inputs and practice is also essential, he argues. It currently takes one liter of water to produce one calorie of food. Even if we halved water use and doubled production, food deficiency would still increase fourfold. Technologies already exist to achieve this, but in Africa they have often not been taken up. Mulching, for example, can help rebuild soil fertility and reduce water usage, and is suitable for use even in household gardens, without need for high-tech tools.

11.The preceding text probably discuss…. A. The growth of population

B. The world problem

C. Food consumption in the world

D. Technology in food consumption

E. Agricultural problem

TEXT 3

Everyone likes to group things. Language students group words as verbs, nouns and so on; collection of words is classified as phrases, or clauses, or sentences, and these again are reclassified according to their function. In the same way, botanists classify plants as algae, or fungi, or gymnosperms, etc. Zoologists classify animal as vertebrates and invertebrates. The vertebrates can be further classified as mammals, reptiles, bird, fish, etc. Classification and, if it is based on the right data, enables us to understand better the ideas we are studying.

better the many substances which exist in our world. What is to be the basis of our

classification? Perhaps the most obvious one is appearance. Material could be classified as solid, liquid or gas with some mixed types as, for example, mud being solid/liquid material and steam a liquid/gas material. Appearance could enable us to subdivide our main

classification groups a little further; the solid may be green, or black powdery or crystalline; the liquid may be colored, oily, thick, or free flowing; the gas may be colored. However, we soon realize that many probably quite different materials have the same appearance. Both air and the deadly carbon-monoxide gas are colorless odorless gases, but we would not like to group them as the same thing. Many different liquids are color-less water like materials.

17.The examples provided in paragraph 2 clarify that …. A. Many kinds of liquid should be grouped as one B. Different kinds of gas can be colorless and odorless C. Material in chemistry should be classified differently D. Chemistry materials have more complicated

E. Taxonomy can be made and applied further to other areas

18.The sentence ―Chemists are no exception (Paragraph 2 line 1) could possibly be restarted as ….

A. Chemical material can also be put into classification B. Classification of chemical material is without exception C. Chemist may also classify material using certain criteria D. When appearance is the basis, chemicals are not involved E. In material classification, chemicals should not be included 19.Paragraph 2 exemplifies the idea about classification that ….

A. Chemicals may be solid, liquid gaseous B. Appearance is not a useful basis in chemistry C. The use of colors is better than that of appearance D. Both colors and appearance should be considered E. Colors should be included for identifying appearance

―the consent of the governed (the voters, not the leaders). He wanted free elections, a free press, and free speech.

Thomas Jefferson held many important government jobs. He was ambassador to France, Secretary of State (under George Washington), Vice President of the United States, from 1801 to 1809. As President, Jefferson bought the huge Louisiana territory for the United States from France. However, he was killed on April 1865 by a well-known actor and Confederate sympathizer, John Wilkes Booth at Ford‘s Theater in Washington D.C.

Passage B

John F. Kennedy was President for only three years, from 1961, but his personality and ideas changed America. He was both the first Roman Catholic and the youngest President in the history of the country. He set clear goals for America. For example, he promised that the United States would land a man on the moon before 1970.

Kennedy supported the ideas of Martin Luther King, Jr. and fought for civil right, fair housing, and program to stop poverty. He asked Congress for more money for education and medical care for elderly people.

Kennedy was against Communism. For example, when the Soviet Union put missiles in Cuba, he sent US ships to surround the island. But he believed that the best way to fight Communism was not by sending armies but by attacking poverty and injustice. He started the Peace Corps and sent Americans to over sixty countries in Africa, Asia, and South America. These young volunteers worked and lived with the people, built school, and thought farmers more modern methods. Kennedy was a man for the future. He worked to stop the testing of nuclear weapons. But on November 22, 1963, he was assassinated.

Questions 25 – 27 refer to the following text TEXT 5

In studying the phenomenon usually referred to as sleep, we are actually dealing with more than one phenomenon. In point of fact, we spend the night alternating between two different types of sleep, each with different brain __(25)__ and different purposes.

As a person falls asleep, his brain waves develop a slower and less regular pattern than in a waking state. This is called orthodox sleep. In this state the brain is apparently resting. Its blood supply is reduced, and its temperature falls slightly. Breathing and __(26)__ are regular. The muscles remain slightly tensed. After about an hour in this state, however, the brain waves begin to show a more active pattern again, even though the person is apparently a sleep very deeply. This is called paradoxical sleep because it has much in common with being awake.

Paradoxical (active) sleep is marked by irregular breathing and heart rate, __(27)__ and increased brain temperature. Most of the muscles are relaxed. There are various jerky movement of the body and face, including short burst of rapid eye movement, which indicate, that we are dreaming. Thus, we spend the night alternating between these two vital ‗restoration jobs‘, working on the brain and working on the body.

If you want to farm green, two decisions about how to grow your crops are likely to have the biggest impact on achieving your goal-how much tillage you use and how well you manage nitrogen. Although there probably are hundreds or thousands of other decisions, practices and technologies that can contribute to a green farming system, these two factors alone can come close to eliminating your cropping system‘s global warming footprint. At the same time, you will also reduce your operation‘s impact on soil and water erosion, as well as surface and groundwater degradation from fertilizers and other agricultural inputs.

You may also be able to turn this environmental stewardship into extra cash by selling carbon credits associated with no-till. This surprising finding – that intensive crop production practices in use today can be nearly carbon neutral – is emerging from research on both greenhouse gas production and greenhouse gas capture associated with production on annual crops.

The research shows that basic crop management decisions to reduce tillage and use nitrogen more efficiently can cut a farming operation‘s impact on global warming gases by 90% or more. In a best casescenario, which would include no-till, these everyday practices come close to zeroing out a farming operation‘s greenhouse gas footprint.

28. Which of the following is irrelevant with the idea of the impact of global warming caused by conventional farming?

A.decreasing tillage B.doing green farming

C.relying on nitrogen-rich fertilizer D.relying on eco-friendly farming method

E. avoiding using groundwater chemical pollutant

30. The author purpose in writing the text is to …. A.propose an innovative approach to green farming B.expose the importance of a simple green farming C.describe eco-friendly strategies of crops production D.inform the fact of green farming and global warming E. argue on the importance of tillage and nitrogen control

31. What is the relation between paragraph 3 and the previous paragraphs? A.Paragraph 2 provides facts for paragraph 3

B.Paragraph 2 provides detail for paragraph 3 C.Paragraph 3 provides examples for paragraph 2

D.Paragraph 3 provides academic support for paragraph 2. E. Paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 support strongly paragraph 3.

Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial languange. It was created more than a century ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common languange would help to alleviate some of the misunderstanding among cultures. In Zamenhof‘s first attempt at a universal languange, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated as possible. This first languange included words such as ab, ac, ba,eb, be, and

ce. This did not result in a workable languange in that these monosyllabic words, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain.

Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified languange. He made the words in his languange sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously. One example of the way he simplified the languange can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this languange end in o, as adjectives end in , as in the adjective

bela, which means ―pretty‖. Another example of the simplified languange can be seen in the

prefix mal-, which makes a words opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means ―enemy‖, and the word malbela therefore means ―ugly‖ in Zamenhof‘s languange.

In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this languange and published it. He used a penname, Dr. Esperanto, when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word means ―a person who hopes‖ in his languange. Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout Europe, and by 1905 Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and Asia.

Kitts is living proof that, even though the flesh and bone may be damaged or gone, the nerves and parts of the brain that once controlled it live on. In many patients, they sit there waiting to communicate—dangling telephone wires, severed from a handset. With microscopic electrodes and surgical wizardry, doctors have begun to connect these parts in other patients to devices such as cameras and microphones and motors. As a result, the blind can see, the deaf can hear, and Amanda Kitts can fold her shirts.

dive in 1992, now has an electronic device under his skin that lets him move his fingers to grip a fork. Jo Ann Lewis, a blind woman, can see the shapes of trees with the help of a tiny camera that communicates with her optic nerve. And Tammy Kenny can speak to her 18-month-old son, Aiden, and he can reply, because the boy, born deaf, has 22 electrodes inside his ear that change sounds picked up by a microphone into signals his auditory nerve can understand.

The work is extremely delicate, a series of trials filled with many errors. As scientists have learned that it‘s possible to link machine and mind, they have also learned how difficult it is to maintain that connection. If the cup atop Kitts‘s arm shifts just slightly, for instance, she might not be able to close her fingers. Still, bionics represents a big leap forward, enabling researchers to give people back much more of what they‘ve lost than was ever possible before.

―That‘s really what this work is about: restoration,‖ says Joseph Pancrazio, program director for neural engineering at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. ―When a person with a spinal-cord injury can be in a restaurant, feeding himself, and no one else notices, that is my definition of success.‖

A. The definition of success.

B. People who are assisted by bionic technology.

37. The nerves and parts of the brain that once controlled damaged or missing body parts___

A. automatically regenerate themselves. B. keep on functioning.

C. shift their function to other parts of the body. D. are temporarily inactive.

E. are stably connected.

38. Which one is correct according to the passage?

A. Bionic technology has flawlessly replaced missing physical functions.

B. Jo Ann Lewis, using a tiny camera that communicates with her optic nerve, can hardly see other shapes but those of trees.

C. The link between a bionic machine and the brain is sometimes unstable.

D. Bionic devices are attached to human‘s nervous system and mostly voice-activated. E. The link between nerve and the brain is not in relation.
