The Suramadu Bridge (Indonesian: Jembatan Suramadu), also known as the Surabaya–Madura Bridge, is a three-section cable-stayed bridge built between Surabaya on the island of Java and the city of Bangkalan on the island of Madura in Indonesia. Opened on June 10 2009, this 5.4 km long bridge is the longest bridge in Indonesia and the first bridge to cross the Madura Strait.

The cable-stayed section has three spans with lengths of 192 m, 434 m and 192 m. This bridge has two lanes in each direction plus an emergency lane and a special motorbike lane. The first toll bridge in Indonesia, the initial rate was set at IDR. 30,000 (US$3 in 2009) for four-wheeled vehicles and Rp. 3,000 (US$0.30) for two-wheeled vehicles.

The bridge was built by a consortium of Indonesian company’s PT Adhi Karya and PT Waskita Karya working with China Road and Bridge Corp. and China Harbour Engineering Co. Ltd. The total cost of the project, including connecting roads, has been estimated at 4.5 trillion rupiah (US$445 million).

Construction was started on August 20, 2003. In July 2004, a girder collapsed, killing one worker and injuring nine others.

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.

9. The following is not directly affected by pesticides used. It is….

A. Plants

B. Ecology

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. Understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control.

11. One of the disadvantages of using chemical pesticides is…

A. increasing crops productivity.

B. creating balanced ecosystem.

C. causing the pests to become inactive.

Television has certainly changed our lives. Nowadays, most people prefer watching TV rather than going to the cinema. Without it, no one would pay much attention to national or international events – history, politics, sports, etc. Even television has proven that images of suffering can make a nation feel sorry.

Children become very lazy and irresponsible in their duties. This is of course denied by TV producers or people whose work is related to TV.

They firmly believe that there are many benefits from TV for its viewers, especially children or students. On the other hand, they honestly admit that TV shows can harm children's mental health. They regret that parents sometimes don't have much time to watch TV with their children. They advise parents to have more discussions with their children about any programs they watch.

The use of formalin and other harmful preservatives in food has become a serious problem for three reasons. First, formalin is not for humans, but for biological specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10 percent solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. So, it is not a food preservative. Of course, if it is used as a food preservative it will be very dangerous for the human body.

The second reason is the lack of strict control from the government. This condition puts public health at serious risk. When control is weak and the use of formalin spreads throughout Indonesia, and this has actually happened recently, people's bodies will be contaminated with this poison. Fish or food traders still sell products that contain formaldehyde and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine our digestive system absorbing substances intended for human and animal corpses?

Seeing this, we can conclude that the use of formaldehyde and other preservatives is a very serious problem if not addressed immediately.

There are many arguments in favour of a boarding school education. Nevertheless, the boarding school is not always the best education institution for everyone.

At an early age interacting and communicating with people is very important for a child’s personal life and can be especially helpful for his/her future. In a boarding school, shy children can take advantage of interaction through communal activities. The boarding school also offers a great variety of activities such as arts, sports, and music that allow children to demonstrate and develop specialized skills in their free time.

Furthermore, the structured way of life and strict rules at the boarding school may help students to get used to a well-ordered way of life. The manners and social skills will help them to become more responsible and confident, and to develop their talents in leadership. Professionally trained teachers and educators in the boarding school can offer excellent education without the parents’ constant supervision.

In spite of these good points, it is not advisable to send a child to a boarding school if he/she is a dependent learner. A boarding school usually demands that student learn independently. In addition, the boarding school should not be seen as a measure to solve inappropriate behaviour or unsatisfactory study performance. Instead of improving, problematic children may close off their relationship with their peers and teachers.

In conclusion although a boarding school may provide good education to many children, it is not recommended for those who are strongly attached to their families. They may become frustrated and socially isolated.

33. According to the writer, children in a boarding school can develop specialized skills in….

A. music

B. It gives good education for adults.

C. Interacting and communicating with people is very important.

E. It is safe and makes children become responsible and develop talents in leadership.

35. From the text, we can conclude that…

A. The boarding school can be very expensive.

B. There are good and bad boarding schools.

C. The boarding school is the solution to our educational problems.

D. It’s not necessary to send children to a boarding school because the students can live independently.

The Indonesian Presidential Election of 2024 marks a pivotal moment in the nation's democratic journey. With candidates presenting diverse platforms and promises, voters face the challenge of making informed choices for the country's future. However, amidst the campaign fervour and political rhetoric, several crucial issues demand scrutiny.

          Firstly, the issue of transparency and accountability within the electoral process remains a concern. Allegations of voter manipulation and electoral fraud have marred previous elections, casting doubts on the integrity of the democratic system. It is imperative for the electoral authorities to ensure fair and transparent procedures, guaranteeing the sanctity of every citizen's vote.

          Secondly, the role of money in politics threatens to undermine the democratic ideals of equality and representation. Wealthy candidates often enjoy an unfair advantage, leveraging their financial resources to gain influence and sway public opinion. Consequently, marginalized voices are silenced, and genuine democratic participation is compromised. Stricter regulations on campaign financing are essential to level the playing field and uphold the principles of democracy.

          Lastly, the need for substantive policy discussions must take precedence over personality-driven politics. While charisma and leadership qualities are undoubtedly important, voters must prioritize candidates' visions and plans for addressing pressing national issues such as economic inequality, environmental sustainability, and social justice. A robust debate on policy matters will empower citizens to make informed decisions based on the candidates' merits rather than superficial attributes.

37. The key concern regarding the Indonesian Presidential Election of 2024 is….

A. transparency and accountability

B. voter apathy

C. international intervention

E. consequently

38. The factor threatens the democratic ideals of equality and representation is….

A. voter manipulation
