Lizard is a reptile living in the tropical region. Lizards belong to a group of scaly-skinned (bersisik) reptiles. They are also called as cold-blooded animal because they cannot maintain their body heat. So, they depend on the sun for warmth.

Many lizards have eggs inside their stomach. However, a few give birth to live young. Likewise, female lizards do not nurture (mengasuh) their young. Most lizards are insectivorous (pemakan serangga), so they feed themselves with insect other small creatures.

The following text is for question number 6 to 9

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface (permukaan) of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves (gelombang seismik). Earthquakes can range in size from those that are so weak that they cannot be felt to those violent (keras) enough to toss (menghempaskan) people around and destroy whole cities. The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest (menampakan) themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicenter(pusat gempa) of a large earthquake is located off shore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides (tanah longsor), and occasionally volcanic activity.

In its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event (whether natural or caused by humans) that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture (perpecahan) of geological faults, but also by other events such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts(ledakan tambang), and nuclear (nuklir) tests. An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The epicenter is the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter.

 

     6.       What does the text tell about?

A.      The seismic waves generator.

B.      The seismic event of an area.

C.      The main cause of earthquake.

D.      The shaking of the surface of the earth.

     7.       Paragraph two tells about ....

A.      the displacement (perpindahan) of the ground

B.      the manifest of earthquake

C.      the shaking of earthquake

D.      the surface of the earth

 

     8.       The main cause of earthquake is ....

A.      volcanic random activity

B.      geological faults rupturing

C.      massive nuclear tests

D.      severe mine blast

    9.       “Earthquakes can range in size from those that are so weak that they cannot be felt to those violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole cities”.

Based on the sentence, we know that ….

A.      violent earthquakes cannot cause a lot of victims

B.      people sometimes do not feel the earthquakes

C.      earthquakes always happen in the same size

D.      very weak earthquakes can cause damages

The following text is for question number 10 to 12

 

      The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), also known as the estuarine crocodile (buaya muara), Indo-Pacific crocodile, marine crocodile, sea crocodile or informally as saltie, is the largest of all living reptiles, as well as the largest riparian (tepi pantai) predator in the world. Males of this species can reach sizes up to 6.30 m (20.7 ft) and possibly up to 7.0 m (23.0 ft) in length. However, an adult male saltwater crocodile rarely reaches or exceeds (melebihi) a size of 6 m (19.7 ft) weighing 1,000 to 1,200 kg (2,200–2,600 lb). Females are much smaller and often do not surpass 3 m (9.8 ft

As its name implies, this species of crocodile can live in marine environments, but usually resides in saline and brackish (air asin dan payau) mangrove swamps, estuaries (muara), deltas, lagoons, and lower stretches of rivers. They have the broadest distribution of any modern crocodile, ranging from the eastern coast of India throughout most of Southeast Asia and northern Australia.

The saltwater crocodile is a large and opportunistic hypercarnivores apex predator. Most prey(mangsa) are ambushed(diterkam) and then drowned or swallowed(ditelan) whole. It is capable of prevailing over(mengatasi) almost any animal that enters its territory, including other apex predators such as sharks, varieties of freshwater and marine fish including pelagic species, invertebrates such as crustaceans, various reptiles, birds and mammals, including humans.  Due to their size, aggression and distribution, saltwater crocodiles are regarded (dianggap)as the most dangerous extant crocodilian to humans, alongside the Nile crocodile.
