The following text is for questions 22 and 23.
Attention
Passengers planning to drive and park at the airport should be aware of several changes due to construction at the terminal. Short term parking is available in the new parking lot at the south end of the terminal. This lot provides hourly parking for those who are meeting or dropping passengers. Travelers who plan to park overnight or longer can park in the new satellite lot and board a shuttle bus to the terminal. New signs in the entrance of the airport will direct travelers to the appropriate parking area.
22. Why are there new instructions about parking at the airport?
| A. The road is under reparation. |
| B. The new parking lot is available. |
| C. There was an accident on the runway. |
| D. There is a construction in progress at the terminal. |
Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: D. There is a construction in progress at the terminal.
Analisis: Pada kalimat pertama teks disebutkan bahwa penumpang harus mengetahui beberapa perubahan “due to construction at the terminal” (karena ada pembangunan/konstruksi di terminal). Jadi, alasan munculnya instruksi parkir yang baru adalah adanya konstruksi di terminal.
Kenapa opsi lain kurang tepat:
A tidak disebutkan sama sekali dalam teks (tidak ada informasi tentang perbaikan jalan).
B memang benar ada “new parking lot”, tetapi itu adalah salah satu perubahan, bukan alasan utama mengapa ada instruksi baru. Alasan utamanya sudah disebut jelas: konstruksi di terminal.
C tidak ada di teks (tidak ada kecelakaan di landasan).
23. Where can the travelers park their cars over night or longer?
| A. At the entrance of the airport. |
| B. At the south of the terminal. |
| C. In the new satellite lot. |
| D. In a new parking lot. |
Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: C. In the new satellite lot.
Analisis: Teks menyatakan: “Travelers who plan to park overnight or longer can park in the new satellite lot …”. Jadi tempat parkir untuk menginap (overnight) atau lebih lama adalah new satellite lot.
Kenapa opsi lain kurang tepat:
A tidak disebut sebagai lokasi parkir tertentu, hanya disebut “entrance” memiliki tanda/petunjuk baru.
B merujuk pada “south end of the terminal” yang dijelaskan untuk “short term parking” dan “hourly parking”, bukan untuk overnight.
D “new parking lot” yang dekat terminal itu juga khusus untuk parkir jangka pendek (short term), sehingga tidak sesuai dengan “overnight or longer”.
Read the following text and answer questions 24 to 27.
A long time ago, there lived an old man in the Penanggungan Mountain. His name was Kiai Gede Penanggungan. He had supernatural power. Kiai Gede Penanggungan had a beautiful daughter named Dewi Walanganing who was not married yet. Kiai Gede Penanggungan prayed days and nights for her daughter to have a husband.
One day, a young handsome man came to his place. The name of the man was Jaka Pandelenan. He wanted to be Kiai Gede Penanggungan’s student. Kiai Gede agreed to have Jaka as his student with one condition that he would marry her daughter. Jaka Pandelenan and Dewi Walanganing soon got married. Kiai Gede Penanggungan taught Jaka many things.
After several years, now it was time for the couple to live separately from Kiai Gede Penanggungan. They would move to another village. Kiai Gede gave some seeds of pari or paddy to the couple. He asked the couple to plant the seeds. He also warned the couple not to be arrogant when they were rich. He wanted the couple to help poor people. The couple started a new life. They planted the seed. Soon, the seeds grew and became a lot of rice. Now the couple very rich. The poor neighbours came to the couple to ask for some pari seeds, but the couple refused to help them.
Kiai Gede heard about the couple’s bad behavior. Soon he visited the couple. He met them when the couple was working in the field. Kiai Gede talked to the couple. He reminded the couple not to be arrogant, but the couple ignored him. They said nothing to Kiai Gede. Kiai Gede got very angry. Then he said, “You two are like temples. You do not listen to me.” Right after he said, “An incredible thing happened.” Slowly, Jaka and Dewi turned into temples. Because the temples stood among the pari, people then named them as Pari Temples.
24. What did Jaka Pandelenan and his wife do to be rich?
| A. Helped poor people. |
| B. Had a great power. |
| C. Planted pari seeds. |
| D. Built a temple. |
Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: C. Planted pari seeds.
Analisis: Dalam bacaan disebutkan Kiai Gede memberi “seeds of pari or paddy” lalu “asked the couple to plant the seeds”, dan setelah itu “Soon, the seeds grew and became a lot of rice. Now the couple very rich.” Artinya, tindakan yang membuat mereka kaya adalah menanam benih padi tersebut.
25. The couple becomes temples because …
| A. they were rich |
| B. Kiai Gede said so |
| C. Kiai Gede liked them |
| D. they were good people |
Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: B. Kiai Gede said so
Analisis: Perubahan menjadi kuil terjadi tepat setelah Kiai Gede marah dan berkata, “You two are like temples…”, lalu “Right after he said… Slowly, Jaka and Dewi turned into temples.” Jadi penyebab langsungnya adalah ucapan/kuasa Kiai Gede (semacam kutukan/keputusan yang diucapkan saat marah), bukan karena mereka kaya atau karena Kiai Gede menyukai mereka.
26. “… an incredible thing happened.” The underlined word means …
| A. untouchable |
| B. unbelievable |
| C. common |
| D. usual |
Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: B. unbelievable
Analisis: Kata incredible bermakna “sangat menakjubkan/sulit dipercaya.” Konteksnya adalah kejadian luar biasa: manusia berubah menjadi kuil. Itu jelas bukan sesuatu yang “common/usual”, sehingga makna yang paling tepat adalah “unbelievable.”
27. What can we learn from the story?
| A. We should live separately from our parents. |
| B. We have to listen to our parent’s advice. |
| C. We have to prepare a good paddy field. |
| D. We should refuse other people’s help. |
Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: B. We have to listen to our parent’s advice.
Analisis: Inti konflik muncul karena pasangan itu mengabaikan nasihat Kiai Gede: “He reminded the couple not to be arrogant, but the couple ignored him.” Akibatnya mereka mendapat hukuman. Jadi pelajaran paling tepat adalah mendengarkan nasihat orang tua/yang lebih tua dan tidak bersikap sombong.
