Semakin penasaran? <\/span>Kuy<\/span><\/em>, segera kerjakan soalnya!<\/span><\/p>\n Read the passage below.<\/span><\/p>\n Malnutrition among children in refugee is a critical public health concern due to the heightened vulnerability. The rate of malnutrition in refugees\u2019 camp needs to be viewed as not just a health issue but as a serious protection and access to basic rights failure. The\u00a0<\/span>magnitude<\/strong>\u00a0of acute malnutrition among refugee camps in Ethiopia is relatively well-documented. A nutritional survey done in 2014 among south Sudanese refugee camps showed that the prevalence of acute malnutrition was almost two-fold the emergency threshold of 15%.<\/span><\/p>\n Acute malnutrition is not only a condition that kills but also has long term health and developmental consequences among recovered children after receiving appropriate treatment. These long term consequences include an increased risk of stunted growth, impaired cognitive development and a greater chance of developing non-communicable diseases in adulthood. This demonstrates that it is of utmost importance to invest not only in the treatment of acute malnutrition but also in its prevention.<\/span><\/p>\n The problem, as well as the solution to malnutrition, is multi-faceted. In addition to an actual shortage of food; poor sanitation, a lack of available potable water, caring practices and insufficient health services are all significant factors contributing to the population\u2019s overall nutritional status and health. There is no single silver bullet that will instantly eradicate malnutrition from the refugee camps but only through a holistic approach and strong group effort. Effective policies and programs to alleviate malnutrition requires an understanding of the determinants of acute malnutrition in the refugee camps.<\/span><\/p>\n Adapted from:\u00a0http:\/\/primarycare.imedpub.com<\/span><\/p>\n Which of the following can best replace the word\u00a0<\/span>magnitude<\/span><\/em>\u00a0in \u201cThe\u00a0<\/span>magnitude<\/span><\/em>\u00a0of acute malnutrition …\u201d (paragraph 1)?<\/span><\/p>\n Jawaban: D<\/strong><\/p>\n Pembahasan:<\/strong><\/p>\n Untuk menemukan kata yang dapat menggantikan kata lain di dalam kalimat, temukanlah sinonim katanya. Sinonim kata\u00a0<\/span>magnitude<\/span><\/em>\u00a0dapat dipahami dari frasa di kalimat selanjutnya, yaitu …\u00a0<\/span>was almost two-fold the emergency threshold of 15%<\/span><\/em>. Frasa ini menunjukkan persentase atau\u00a0<\/span>jumlah<\/span>, sehingga\u00a0<\/span>magnitude<\/span><\/em>\u00a0merujuk pada jumlah malnutrisi akut (<\/span>acute malnutrition<\/span><\/em>) pada teks. Jadi, kata\u00a0<\/span>magnitude<\/span><\/em>\u00a0dapat digantikan oleh kata\u00a0<\/span>amount<\/span><\/em>\u00a0pada kalimat soal karena sama-sama bermakna \u2018jumlah\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n Kata pada pilihan lain masing masing memiliki arti:\u00a0<\/span>weight<\/span><\/em>\u00a0= berat,\u00a0<\/span>importance<\/span><\/em>= penting,\u00a0<\/span>power<\/span><\/em>: tenaga, dan\u00a0<\/span>capacity<\/span><\/em>\u00a0= kapasitas.<\/span><\/p>\n Read the passage below.<\/span><\/p>\n When exploratory divers discovered the underwater Mexican cave site known as Hoyo Negro, the conditions of the cave were so pristine and stable, but there was evidence that at least one person had been inside the cave before the divers: A Paleoamerican girl nicknamed Naia, who had fallen to her death while presumably collecting water from the cave during the late Pleistocene era, between 13,000 and 12,000 years ago. The divers found her skeleton, as well as the remains of several Ice Age animals, on the cave floor. According to Rissolo and project co-director, James Chatters, it was like the La Brea tar pits without the tar.<\/span><\/p>\n This remarkable discovery represents the first and only example of human remains found in direct association with extinct megafauna in the Americas, says Rissolo, who is a visiting scholar at UC San Diego from the Waitt Institute and a research associate at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The remains of two gomphotheres (extinct elephant-like creatures), two Shasta ground sloths, a pair of saber-toothed cats and numerous other animals were also found with Naia in the underwater pit, which measures 200 feet in diameter and is located in the far Southeast of the country, on the Yucut\u00e1n Peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n Computer science Ph.D. student Vid Petrovic \u2013 a member of the Center\u2019s Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program in cultural heritage diagnostics \u2013 is using photos taken by the scientific dive team to create 3D structure-from-motion (SfM) models of the cave site, and he has used the same technique to recreate Naia\u2019s mandible.<\/span><\/p>\n SfM is an imaging technique that, in this case, uses two-dimensional photographs taken underwater at the cave site. Petrovic tracks and aligns features in the photos (such as corner points) to \u2018stitch together\u2019 and reconstruct the objects digitally in 3D.<\/span><\/p>\n Rissolo says that given the proper lighting, camera set-up and protocols, SfM is a relatively straightforward and cost-effective imaging and visualization method, especially for documenting archaeological sites that are not easily accessible or are threatened with destruction, either natural or human-derived.<\/span><\/p>\n Adapted from:\u00a0http:\/\/archaeologicalconservancy.org<\/span><\/p>\n According to the text, what remains are not found in Hoyo Negro? The remains of\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n Jawaban: B<\/strong><\/p>\n Pembahasan:<\/strong><\/p>\n Pilihan jawaban pada soal ini dapat dijadikan kata kunci untuk menemukan informasi spesifik yang ditanyakan. Perhatikan bahwa hampir semua frasa atau kata pada pilihan jawaban disebutkan pada paragraf kedua kalimat kedua:\u00a0<\/span>The remains of two\u00a0<\/span><\/em>gomphotheras<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(extinct\u00a0<\/span><\/em>elephant<\/span><\/em>-like creatures), two\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Shasta ground sloths<\/span><\/em>, a pair of\u00a0<\/span><\/em>saber-toothed cats<\/span><\/em>\u00a0and numerous other animals were also found with Naia in the underwater pit<\/span><\/em>, \u2026. <\/span><\/p>\n Pada kalimat ini, frasa\u00a0<\/span>underwater pit<\/span><\/em>\u00a0merujuk pada\u00a0<\/span>the underwater Mexican cave site known as Hoyo Negro<\/span><\/em>\u00a0atau gua bawah laut yang dikenal dengan Hoyo Negro (paragraf pertama kalimat pertama). Selain itu, kata \u2018Naia\u2019 jika di-<\/span>scan<\/span><\/em>\u00a0pada teks terdapat pada klausa:\u00a0<\/span>a Paleoamerican girl nicknamed Naia<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(paragraf pertama kalimat pertama). Artinya, Naia adalah nama seorang gadis. Berdasarkan informasi tersebut dapat diketahui bahwa sisa-sisa (tulang-belulang\/fosil) dua\u00a0<\/span>gomphotheras<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(makhluk seperti gajah yang sudah punah), dua kungkang tanah jenis Shasta, sepasang kucing bergigi tajam, dan sejumlah binatang lain juga ditemukan bersama Naia di Hoyo Negro.<\/span><\/p>\n Jadi, sisa-sisa tulang-belulang\/fosil yang tidak ditemukan di Hoyo Negro adalah gajah (<\/span>elephants<\/span><\/em>). Pahami bahwa yang ditemukan di Hoyo Negro adalah binatang-binatang pada zaman es (<\/span>Ice Age animals<\/span><\/em>), salah satunya makhluk yang dinamakan\u00a0<\/span>gomphotheras<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(makhluk seperti gajah yang sudah punah), bukan gajah (<\/span>elephants<\/span><\/em>) yang dikenal pada zaman sekarang ini.<\/span><\/p>\n Read the passage below.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The study of songbirds has revealed a variety of fundamental properties of biological systems. In particular, neurobiological studies carried out in songbirds have revealed the presence of newly born neurons in the adult brain, how steroid hormones affect brain development, the neural and mechanistic bases of vocalizations, and how experience modifies neuronal physiology. More evidently, however,\u00a0<\/span>songbirds have been extensively used as a model for imitative vocal learning,<\/strong>\u00a0a behavior thought to be a substrate for speech acquisition in humans. Now an international consortium has unveiled the genome of the zebra finch\u00a0<\/span>(Taeniopygia Guttata).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Sequencing the zebra finch genome was initiated in 2005 under the Large Scale Genome Sequencing Program of the National Human Genome Research Institute. The prior work in the research community characterizing the zebra finch brain transcriptase. These initiatives, along with new zebra finch genome sequences, have resulted in the complete genome sequenced with 17,475 protein-coding genes identified, as well as regulatory regions and non-coding RNAs. The annotation and sequence coverage of the zebra finch genome will certainly be refined in the years to come, but the initial endeavor is expected to provide a unique platform for modern genomics research in this organism. Furthermore, this initial snapshot of the songbird genome should provide critical insights into fundamental scientific questions, including an array of physiological and evolutionary processes.<\/span><\/p>\n Adapted\u00a0from:\u00a0<\/span>link.springer.com<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n From the sentence \u2018\u2026 songbirds have been extensively used as a model for imitative vocal learning, \u2026.\u2019 in paragraph 1, it can be stated that\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n Jawaban: A<\/strong><\/p>\n Pembahasan:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kalimat soal\u00a0<\/span>songbirds have been extensively used as a model for imitative vocal learning<\/span><\/em>\u00a0dapat diartikan bahwa burung berkicau telah banyak digunakan sebagai model untuk pembelajaran vokal imitatif. Kata\u00a0<\/span>extensively\u00a0<\/span><\/em>pada kalimat soal ini juga dapat diartikan sebagai sering. Dengan seringnya burung berkicau digunakan, hal ini berarti burung berkicau telah terbukti bagus untuk dijadikan model dalam pembelajaran vokal\u00a0<\/span>(good models of vocal learning).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah\u00a0<\/span>songbirds are good models of vocal learning.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n What will man be like in the future \u2013 in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. From man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world, we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more \u2013 and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too; the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.<\/span><\/p>\n Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time, it is likely that man\u2019s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.<\/span><\/p>\n Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of these changes, future man will still have a lot of common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions that resemble us.<\/span><\/p>\n Taken from:\u00a0www.platea.pntic.mec<\/span><\/p>\n According to the text, which of the following statements is\u00a0<\/span>TRUE<\/span><\/em>\u00a0about the man?<\/span><\/p>\n Jawaban: E<\/strong><\/p>\n Pembahasan:<\/strong><\/p>\n Pernyataan\u00a0<\/span>Latihan Soal 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n
