22 Soal UTBK (Reading) Bahasa Inggris kelas 12 dan Pembahasannya

Assalamualaikum warrahmatullahiwabarrakatuh
 
berikut ini adalah soal - soal SBMPTN yang bisa adik-adik gunakan sebagai latihan untuk
menghadapi Ujian masuk Perguruan Tinggi. Selamat mengerjakan...

Questions number 1 to 5 are based on the following text.

        Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano keeps erupting with syrupy lava flows, serving as a fiery reminder
of nature’s destructive power. There are two contents flow out as molten rock and they both have
to do with volcanoes. But as the ongoing eruption captures headlines, a question might occur to the readers: What’s the difference between magma and lava?

        The distinction between magma and lava is all about location. When geologists refer to magma, they’re talking about molten rock that’s still trapped underground. If this molten rock makes it to the surface and keeps flowing like a liquid, it’s called lava. Lava is molten rock generated by geothermal energy and expelled through fractures in planetary crust or in an eruption, usually at temperatures
from 700 to 1,200 °C (1,292 to 2,192 °F). The structures resulting from subsequent solidification
and cooling are also sometimes described as lava. The molten rock is formed in the interior of some planets, including Earth, and some of their satellites, though such material located below the crust is referred to by other terms.

        Magmas vary in their chemical composition, which gives them—and the volcanoes that contain them different properties. Mafic magmas like those in Hawaii tend to form when the heavier crust
that forms the ocean floor melts. They contain between 47 to 63 percent silica, the mineral that makes up glass and quartz. Silicic magmas, on the other hand, tend to form when the lighter continental crust melts. These magmas are more than 63 percent silica, which makes them more viscous: At their runniest, silicic magmas flow about as well as lard or caulk which is to say not well at all. They’re
also cooler than mafic magmas. Rhyolite, an especially silica-rich type of lava, hits temperatures between only 1,200 degrees to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

       When silicic magmas are no longer confined under sufficiently high pressure, the gases dissolved within them come out of solution and form bubbles. And just like opening a shaken-up can of soda,
the resulting rush of vapor triggers an explosive eruption. Iconic cone-shaped volcanoes called stratovolcanos, such as Mount Pinatubo, are loaded with silicic magmas. Hawaii’s volcanoes, on the other hand, contain especially low-silica magmas made of basalt, which means they have much less explosive oomph. Instead, they ooze and spatter, creating shield volcanoes—gently sloped formations that have become the islands’ signature geologic silhouette.

 The text is for number 12 to 22     
    
            C
ertainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common

             sea cucumber.All living creature,especially human beings
             ,have their peculiarities,but everything about the little sea 
             cucumber seems unusual.What else can be said about a 
line       bizarre animal that,among other eccentricities,eats mud,
             feeds almost continuously day and night but can live 
(5)        without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but
             is considered supremely edible by gourmets?
                   For some fifty million years,despite all its eccentricities
             the sea cucumber has subsisted on its diet of mud.It is 
             adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet
             under rocks in shallow water,or on the surface of mud flats.
(10)      Common in cool water on both Atlantic and pacific shores
             it has the ability to suck up mud or sand and digest 
             whatever nutrients are present.
                    Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors,ranging 
             from black to reddish-brown to sand-color and nearly white
             One form even has vivit purple tentacles.Usually the 
             creatures are cucumber-shaped-hence their name-and 
(15)      because they are typically rock inhabitants,this shape,
             combined with flexibility,enables them to squeeze into 
             crevices where they are safe from predators and ocean 
             currents.
                     Although they have voracious appetites,eating day 
             and night,sea cucumbers have the capacity to become 
             quiescent and live at a low metabolic rate-feeding sparingly
             or not at all for long periods,so that the marine organisms
(20)      that provide their food have a chance to multiply.If it were 
             not for this faculty,they would devour all the food 
             available in a short time and would probably starve 
             themselves out of existence.
                    But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber 
             is the way it defends itself.Its major enemies are fish and 
             crabs,when attacked,it squirts all its internal organs into the
             water.It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles.
             The sea cucumber will eviscerate and regenerate itself if
             it is attacked or even touched;it will do the same if 
             surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water
             becomes too polluted. 

12.  What does the passage mainly discuss?
       A. How to identify the sea cucumber
       B. What makes the sea cucumber unusual

      A. devour all available food in a short time
      B. live at a low metabolic rate
      C. squeeze into crevices
      D. suck up mud or sand

15. According to the passage,why is the shape of sea cucumbers important?
      A. It helps them to digest their food
      B. It makes them attractive to fish.
      C. It helps them to protect themselves from danger
      D. It makes it easier for them to move through the mud

      A. threats to sea cucumber's existence
      B. the reproduction of sea cucumbers
      C. the food sources of sea cucumbers
      D. the eating habits of sea cucumbers
 
17. The phrase"casts off" in line 25 is closest in meaning to ….
      A. grabs
      B. gets rid of
      C. grows again
      D. uses as a weapon

KUNCI JAWABAN 


1. Jawaban B
    Pembahasan :
    Judul yang tepat untuk wacana adalah mengenai perbedaan antara magma (magma) dan lahar 
    (lava). Hal ini terlihat dari kata kunci yang ada di paragraf pertama di kalimat terakhir yang  
    merupakan pernyataan tesis dari wacana yaitu What’s the difference between magma and lava?  
    Kemudian kalimat tersebut dielaborasi di paragraf-paragraf selanjutnya. 

2. Jawaban E
    Pembahasan : 
    Wacana soal berbentuk report text yang memaparkan perbedaan antara magma dan lava, dengan  
    demikian dapat diduga bahwa motif penulis memaparkan wacana soal adalah untuk meluruskan     
    miskonsepsi masyarakat akan perbedaan antara magma dan lava. 

3. Jawaban A
    Pembahasan : 
    Kalimat soal mengandung pengertian: ‘magma bervariasi dalam komposisi kimiawinya’. 
    Kalimat ini dapat diparafrasa menjadi ‘komposisi magma dapat dibedakan melalui komposisi 
    kimiawinya.’ (the composition of magma can be differentiated through their chemical compound). 

4. Jawaban C
    Pembahasan :
    Paragraf yang membahas tentang hal yang menyebabkan tinggi rendahnya sebuah letusan merapi  
    adalah paragraf 4. Informasi tersebut terdapat pada kalimat ‘And just like opening a shaken-up
