The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest
living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. Its species name refers to its camel-like appearance
and the patches of color on its fur. Its chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck
and legs, its horn-like nosecones, and its distinctive coat patterns. It stands 5 - 6 m (16 - 20 ft) tall
and has an average weight of 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) for males and 830 kg (1,800 lb) for females. It is
classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. The nine
subspecies are distinguished by their coat patterns.
The giraffe's scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south and
from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannas, grasslands, and
open woodlands. Their primary food source is acacia leaves, which they browse at heights. Giraffes
are preyed on by lions, and calves are also targeted by leopards, spotted hyenas, and wild dogs.
Adult giraffes do not have strong social bonds, though they do gather in loose aggregations if they
happen to be moving in the same general direction. Males establish social hierarchies through
"necking", which are combat bouts where the neck is used as a weapon. Dominant males gain
mating access to females, which bear the sole responsibility for raising the young.
The giraffe has intrigued various cultures, both ancient and modern, for its peculiar
appearance, and has often been featured in paintings, books, and cartoons. It is classified by
the International Union for Conservation of Nature as Least Concern, but has been extirpated from
many parts of its former range, and some subspecies are classified as Endangered. Nevertheless,
giraffes are still found in numerous national parks and game reserves.

The following text is for question 31 to 34.
Solar energy is becoming a popular energy source due to the fact that it is the most abundant and
most cost effective energy source on the planet. Solar energy is created when the power of the sun is
harnessed in order to produce energy. Since the 1950‟s, solar energy is used to create sources of
power to fuel technology, homes, and many businesses. Because technology is evolving at the speed
of light, solar energy is becoming more proficient as an energy source and recognized as a feasible
alternative to fossil fuels.
Today‟s technology allows for the harnessing of solar energy through cells known as solar
cells. These are also called photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic cells are placed in direct sunlight and as
the sun hits these cells, a chemical reaction takes place to produce electric currents. These currents
are, then, converted into electricity that can be used to power everyday items or even households.
Solar energy is classified as either active solar energy or passive solar energy. Panels and
solar cells are not used in passive solar energy, but structures or buildings will be constructed in a
way to capture the sun‟s power through the use of windows or tanks. These systems will, then, heat
homes or water, but can not be converted into actual electricity.

- B. INGGRIS - PAKET B- TRYOUT MKKS DKI JAKARTA 2013-2014 9
Active solar energy is just the opposite. Solar panels or solar cells will be used to capture the
sun‟s energy. The panels or cells are placed in a way that they will maximize the sun‟s exposure.
The sun‟s energy is, then, converted into direct or alternate current electricity which is, then, stored
into batteries. In some cases, the electricity will be fed into a grid system of a utility plant when
larger amounts of energy are needed.

31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Source of energy.
B. Popular energy.
C. Solar energy.
D. Solar panels.
E. Solar cells.
32. Based on the text above, we infer that . . . .
A. people use solar energy only for their research
B. sun‟s energy is the least useful than other energies
C. solar energy is a source of energy used in daylight only
D. active solar energy is as not important as the passive one

Nowadays, many people have realized that agriculture is much more important than other
supporting tools in economic development in Indonesia agriculture should be the priority of
development because of some good reasons.
First of all, the agriculture's contribution in the beginning of the development of the country
was the highest of all sectors. At present, almost half of the total Indonesian labors are working in
the agriculture sector, but the contribution of the agriculture sector does not reach 30 percent.
Second, the agriculture sector is expected to fulfill the need of food in the country. As the number of
population increases in an alarming rate each year, food supply must also increase butthe
agricultural production per capita never increases more than onepercent each year, and in some
extreme cases, it is even stagnant.
Last but not least, without agricultural development, the growth of the industrial sector will be
hampered because the growth that comes from industry will bring a wider gap into the internal
economy in that country. In turn, this gap will create serious poverty problems, wider inequality of
income distribution, and increase unemployment
It is, therefore, obvious that the government should put agriculture as the priority of national
development

Video games become a controversial issue for parents and educators. Those who are in favor of
video games believe that video games have some benefits. However, people who are against video
games consider these games have several negative effects.
In the proponents‟ point of view, video game functions as a form of light entertainment. As a
part of a balanced entertainment, games can provide stress relief for kids, help with aspects of
coordination and concentration on visual details, and help kids relate to one another in some forms
of healthy competition.
On the contrary, the opponents of video games think that video games have some disadvantages.
Video game players are prone to aggressive thoughts, attitudes, and actions. Violent video games
cause children to be less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others. Study also shows that these
children are more fearful of the world around them. In addition, video games make the players
addicted. Furthermore, too much time on any video entertainment takes away time spent on school
work. As a result, the games cause children to weaken their school achievement.
In conclusion, parents should limit their children on playing video games. Children can play
video games at their leisure but parents should think about how well balanced it is. Violent video
games also can be thought as treats.

first pages of some editions of the afternoon newspapers in large cities all over the country.
Gone with the Wind was launched in two theaters in New York the Astor and the Capitol. In
