Listening 4,25 poin x 20 butir KUPAS TUNTAS RAHASIA TES ACEPT (PART 1: LISTENING COMPREHENSION). 1. Sebelum anda mendengarkan pernyataan dari tape recorder/suara narator, sebaiknya anda melihat terlebih dahulu jawaban/pilihan A,B,C,D pada lembar soal. 2. Bacalah sepintas lalu (scanning) setiap kalimat pada pilihan A,B,C,D. 3. Perhatikan secara seksama, ada beberapa kata dari setiap pilihan A,B,C,D yang tulisannya sama/diu lang lebih dari satu kali. 4. Kata - kata yang diulang itu merupakan TOPIK PEMBICARAAN. 5. Arahkan/fokus pikiran anda pada topik itu. 6. Dengarkan pernyataan pada tape recorder/narator. 7. Ada kata/kelompok kata yg merupakan KATA KUNCI dari pernyataan narator. 8. Buatlah KESIMPULAN dari kata kunci itu/CARI KATA LAIN/PENRNYATAAN LAIN yg mempunyai makna yang mirip/sama dengan kata kunci itu. 9. Kesimpulan/kata lain/pernyataan lain/sinonim dari kata kunci itu merupakan jawaban yg benar. Perhatikan contoh berikut: Anda akan mendengarkan pernyataan dari narrator/tape recorder sbb: 1. The assignment is due the day after tomorrow. No extension will be given for this. A. Simon is doing his job well, and they mentioned it. B. You must do the assignment the day after tomorrow. C. No sanction is given if you do the assignment the day after tomorrow. D. It's better for you to complete the task right away. Dari contoh di atas, dapat kita simpulkan bahwa topik dari pernyataan narrator adalah tentang ASSIGNMENT. Perhatikan kata assignment pada pilihan B dan C diulang dua kali. KATA KUNCI pada pernyataan narrator adalah assignment (tugas), due (jatuh tempo) the day after
Maka pilihan yang paling tepat adalah (D) It's better for you to complete the task right away. Alasannya, kata 'assignment' (tugas) pada pernyataan narrator mempunyai makna yg sama dengan 'task' (tugas) pada pilihan (D). Selain itu, kelompok kata 'due the day after tomorrow' dan 'No extension' dapat kita simpulkan dgn pernyataan lain yakni 'It's better for you to complete the task right away' (sebaiknya dikerjakan sekarang). Tips ini berlaku untuk Tes AcEPT Part 1 Listening Comprehension (NOMOR 1 - 10). Mudah - mudahan tips saya ini dapat bermanfaat bagi teman - teman semua.

We know now that the color comes from chemical reactions that long ago locked up Mars's oxygen in reddish minerals on its surface, causing the 'rusting' of the planet. To the ancient people, the red color meant only one thing: blood. From the earliest times, Mars has been associated with bloodshed. Even the astronomical symbol for Mars, a circle with an arrow pointing at 2 o'clock, is supposed to represent a shield and a spears. As astronomers used telescopes, Mars mythology grew. It was the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli who, in 1877, produced the most lasting bit of Martian folklore. He saw what he took to be long, thin, unnaturally straight lines on the Martian surface. He called them canali, a word that can translate into English either as 'channels' or 'canals.' Unfortunately, the latter translation was used, and the canals of Mars were born. Of course, if there were canals, there had to be canal builders, so once more Mars was peopled with all manner of intelligent life forms! In 1965 Mariner 4 sent back first close-up pictures of the Martian surface. Not only were there no canals, but Mariner 4 and the spacecraft that followed revealed a planet that was a cratered, lifeless desert. We have subsequently learned that Mars is home to Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the entire solar system, and to a canyon system stretching for almost 3,000 miles around the Martian equator. The atmosphere is extremely thin (equivalent to that at 130,000 feet above Earth) and made up almost entirely of carbon dioxide. The surface is cold, almost never getting above freezing even at the summertime equator. Perhaps the greatest surprise were the photographs from Mariner 9 in 1971 and 1972 that showed channels on the surface. Now these were not Schiaparelli's canali there's, no way these channels could be seen by even the most powerful earthbound telescope. They are unmistakable water courses, however. There is no water in them now, but they trace out the path of water that flowed in the past. They are like the dry river of the American West, through which water from rain flows, but which are
dry most of the time. Water once ran on the surface of Mars. New explorations on Mars by the spacecraft Pathfinder, due to arrive on the planet's surface in 1997, are planned to give scientists more information about possible past life on Mars. One of Pathfinder's missions will be to lay the foundation for future efforts to find fossil remains of living things. The landing site for the Mars Pathfinder is going to be the mouth of a flood channel called Ares Vallis. 1. It can be inferred from the passage that myths about Mars (A) are widely believed today (B) have been dispelled by current space exploration (C) are based on scientific facts (D) depict it as a lifeless planet 2.

Soal No 2 (10 may) The Big Bang Theory Most astronomers believe the Universe began in a Big Bang about 14 billion years ago. At that time, the entire Universe was inside a bubble that was thousands of times smaller than a pinhead. It was hotter and denser than anything we can imagine. Then it suddenly exploded. The Universe that we know was born. Time, space and matter all began with the Big Bang. In a fraction of a second, the Universe grew from smaller than a single atom to bigger than a galaxy. And it kept on growing at a fantastic rate. It is still expanding today. As the Universe expanded and cooled, energy changed into particles of matter and antimatter. These two opposite types of particles largely destroyed each other. But some matter survived. More stable particles called protons and neutrons started to form when the Universe was one second old. Over the next three minutes, the temperature
dropped below 1 billion degrees Celsius. It was now cool enough for the protons and neutrons to come together, forming hydrogen and helium nuclei. After 300 000 years, the Universe had cooled to about 3000 degrees. Atomic nuclei could finally capture electrons to form atoms. The Universe filled with clouds of hydrogen and helium gas. 1. Evidence indicates that galaxies are A. stationary B. moving away from each other C. moving towards each other D. always changing direction 2. The Big Bang theory A. is now an accepted fact B. states that galaxies make a loud sound when they collide C. states that the universe began with an event D. does not yet have evidence to support it 3. If a star is moving toward you, A. its wavelengths become compressed B. its wavelengths get longer C. its wavelengths do not change D. its wavelengths cannot be accurately Measured 4. If a star is moving away from you, A. its wavelengths become compressed B. its wavelengths get longer C. its wavelengths do not change D. its wavelengths cannot be accurately measured Kunci jawaban soal No 2 Soal No 3 The planet Mars has always captured the human imagination.

Ga ada jawaban  Soal no 5 (16 januari) The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would remove the conventionality, artificiality, and backward lookingness which were characteristic; of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in 5 their time had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to make the understanding of chemical reactions as dull 10 and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of Virgil's Aeneid. The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches a child something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him acquainted with the results of scientific 15 discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and inductively by studying scientific method. A certain limited success has been reached in the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the second. Those privileged members of the community who have been through a secondary or public school 20 education may be expected to know something about the elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know hardly more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of scientific method, the whole thing is palpably 25 a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of the examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not learn scientific method but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or 30 not. The way in which educated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more dangerous ones such as racial theories or
currency myths, shows that fifty years of education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect whatever. The only way of learning the 35 method of science is the long and bitter way of personal experience, and, until the educational or social systems are altered to make this possible, the best we can expect is the production of a minority of people who are able to acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use and 40 develop them. 1. The author implies that the 'professional schoolmaster' (line 7) has A. no interest in teaching science B. thwarted attempts to enliven education C. aided true learning D. supported the humanists E. been a pioneer in both science and humanities. 2. The author’s attitude to secondary and public school education in the sciences is A. ambivalent B. neutral C. supportive D. satirical E. contemptuous 3. The word ‘palpably’ (line 24) most nearly means A. empirically B. obviously C. tentatively D. markedly E. ridiculously 4. The author blames all of the following for the failure to impart scientific method through the education system except A. poor teaching B. examination methods C. lack of direct experience D. the social and education systems E. lack of interest on the part of students 5. If the author were to study current education in science to see how things have changed since he wrote the piece, he would probably be most
17/18
interested in the answer to which of the following questions? A. Do students know more about the world about them? B. Do students spend more time in laboratories? C. Can students apply their knowledge logically? D. Have textbooks improved? E. Do they respect their teachers? 6. Astrology (line 31) is mentioned as an example of A. a science that needs to be better understood B. a belief which no educated people hold C. something unsupportable to those who have absorbed the methods of science D. the gravest danger to society E. an acknowledged failure of science 7. All of the following can be inferred from the text except A. at the time of writing, not all children received a secondary school education B. the author finds chemical reactions interesting C. science teaching has imparted some knowledge of facts to some children D. the author believes that many teachers are authoritarian E. it is relatively easy to learn scientific method.
