go with him. Several servants also joined them to carry their luggages, and they began walking to
Sunan Muria’s house.
Several hours later Ki Rangga felt tired. He was embarrassed to walk together with Sunan
Kalijaga, because Sunan Kalijaga did’nt look tired while Ki Rangga was very tired and thirsty.
Finnaly, Sunan Kalijaga asked Ki Rangga to take a rest under a big tree. It was time for the Dzuhur
prayer, but there was not water around to clean up or ‘wudu’ Ki Rangga was confused. He told
Sunan Kalijaga about it. Sunan Kalijaga only smiled and said, “We should pray for Allah SWT
for water. Now, you must guard this big tree, Ki Rangga. It might bring water to us, but remember!
Everything happens, because Allah SWT. Don’t act alone. You must inform me when water comes
out. I will be behind that hill.” Ki Rangga promised Sunan Kalijaga to inform him when the water

The following text is for questions 25 to 27

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculturE. Pesticides which are commonly
used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is
the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in
the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and
stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This
affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be
chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and
environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock
25. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?
A. Plants
B. Ecology
C. Animals.
D. Environment.
E. Human Beings
26. What can you say about paragraph two and four?
A. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.
B. Both paragraphs tell about the disadvantages of using pesticides.
C. Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm products.
D. The statement in paragraph is contrary to the statement in paragraph four.
E. The second paragraph tells about the effects of using pesticides on animals mentioned in
paragraph four
27. Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides.
(paragraph 3). The word therefore in the sentence above have similar meaning to …
A. because
B. cause
C. as

Tsunami
Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The
displaced rock pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful
water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity
of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the coastline,
where their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of the
earth crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.

A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as severe flooding,
loss of lives due to drowning and damage to property.

A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the
ocean floor. This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic
eruption. A tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches
shallow water, this fast traveling wave grows very large.
