READING COMPREHENSION

Passage 1: Questions 21-30 are based on the following passage.

For a time, the Hubble telescope was the brunt of jokes and subject to the wrath of those who
believed the U.S. government had spent too much money on space projects that served no valid purpose.
The Hubble was sent into orbit with a satellite by the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990 amid huge hype
and expectation. Yet after it was in position, it simply did not work, because the primary mirror was
misshapen. It was not until 1993 that the crew of the Shuttle Endeavor arrived like roadside mechanics,
opened the hatch that was installed for the purpose, and replaced the defective mirror with a good one.
Suddenly, all that had originally been expected came true. The Hubble telescope was indeed the
“window on the universe,” as it had originally been dubbed. When you look deep into space, you are
actually looking back through time, because even though light travels at 186,000 miles a second, it
requires time to get from one place to another. In fact, it is said that in some cases, the Hubble telescope
is looking back eleven billion years to see galaxies already forming.
The distant galaxies are speeding away from Earth, some traveling at the speed of light. Hubble
has viewed exploding stars such as the Eta Carinae, which clearly displayed clouds of gas and dust
billowing outward from its poles at 1.5 million miles an hour. Prior to Hubble, it was visible from
 SOAL T RY OUT I
SPMB TUGAS BELAJAR PKN STAN
TUBELSTAN - ALUMNI
traditional telescopes on earth, but its details were not ascertainable. But now, the evidence of the
explosion is obvious. The star still burns five million times brighter than the sun and illuminates clouds
from the inside.
Hubble has also provided a close look at black holes, which are described as cosmic drains. Gas
and dust swirl around the drain and are slowly sucked in by the incredible gravity. It has also looked into
an area that looked empty to the naked eye and, within a region the size of a grain of sand, located layer
upon layer of galaxies, with each galaxy consisting of billions of stars.
The Hubble telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, a 1920s astronomer who developed a
formula that expresses the proportional relationship of distances between clusters of galaxies and the
speeds at which they travel. Astronomers use stars known as Cepheid variables to measure distances in
space. These stars dim and brighten from time to time, and they are photographed over time and charted.
All the discoveries made by Hubble have allowed astronomers to learn more about the formation of early
galaxies.

Passage 2: Questions 31-40 are based on the following passage.

Science and technology enthusiasts remember Nikola Tesla as one of the quintessential
American inventors, blending brilliance and dedication with just a touch of crazy. Born in modern-
day Croatia in 1856, he would later become a naturalized American citizen, and it was in America
where he invented an induction motor based on alternating current and spearheaded the use of
alternative current to electrify the world.
While Nikola Tesla is a fond memory now, in 1899 he was an ambitious 43-year-old with a
grandiose idea. To develop that idea, he left his bustling New York City home and headed west to
Colorado. There, with $30,000 in cash from the prominent millionaire businessman John Jacob Astor
(who would later famously perish on the Titanic), he set about creating "cold light" light bulbs –
essentially forerunners of fluorescent bulbs -- to replace incandescents.
In reality, Tesla thought he could transmit wireless electricity over great distances with essentially
no loss, even through the Earth itself! He traveled to the high-altitude haven of Colorado Springs,
where the air was thinner and more conductive, with the promise of free power from the El Paso
Power Company, to realize his dream. Once there, Tesla erected a wooden experimental station ringed
with a fence adorned with ominous "KEEP OUT" signs. Jutting from the station was a 142-foot metal
mast supporting a large copper ball. Inside, was the largest Tesla coil ever built, an electrifying
monstrosity 50 feet in diameter.
For roughly nine months, the station was alive with experimentation. Within the confines of his
grounded, wooden station, Tesla attempted to tune his magnifying transmitter and Tesla coil to Earth's
supposed resonance frequency, which he thought would permit worldwide wireless power transfer. It
apparently was not uncommon for ball lightning to flit about the laboratory. One night, he even
thought he picked up radio signals from outer space through his transmitter. Outside, Tesla produced
artificial lightning from the station's metal mast. The largest bolt was 135-feet long and its thunder
was reportedly heard fifteen miles away. It also knocked out power to all of Colorado Springs, and
 SOAL T RY OUT I

TUBELSTAN - ALUMNI
severely damaged equipment at the El Paso Electric Company. Afterwards, his free power came to an
end. In January 1900, Tesla concluded his experiments in Colorado Springs, claiming that he could
transmit electric power abundantly and cheaply anywhere on the planet.
Alas, there is little to no evidence that Tesla succeeded, not even in his own meticulous notes.
Tesla's mysterious lab in Colorado Springs was torn down in 1904. His idea for worldwide wireless
power never came to fruition.

Passage 3: Questions 41-50 are based on the following passage.

Tequila is created from one of the hundred species of agave, which was discovered as a source
of alcohol by the ancient Aztecs. In the 1500s, it was used to create an alcoholic beverage called octli,
which was sour and not tasty. But later, the Spanish used the distillation process to create mezcal. Finally,
double-distilling was used with a special type of agave known as agave azul, or blue agave in English
(scientifically known as agave tequilana weber), and tequila was born.
Creating tequila is a long, involved process. The plant is 8 to 12 years old before it can be used.
The plant itself resembles a huge green aloe plant. To maintain the potency of the agave, the leaves are
periodically cut back. Finally, when the plant has reached the proper age and weight, the leaves are cut,
and workers known as Jimadors use a special hoe-type tool called a coa to remove the huge heart from
the ground. The heart is large, brown, hard, and heavy, weighing 80 or more pounds. It is filled with a
sweet sap referred to as agua miel, or honey water, which is actually the source of the tequila.
The heavy roots are then carried to trucks on the backs of burrows. At the processing plant, the
roots are chopped into quarters with machetes and carried on conveyor belts to huge ovens where they
are baked for four days at 120 degrees Celsius. Next, they are placed in a dark room for a day or so, and
finally, they are thrown onto a conveyor belt, which runs them through a shredding machine, where they
are ground to a pulp. As they are ground, the liquid is released and falls into collectors below. The pulp
continues to be run through additional shredders where it is further crushed and manipulated so that all
the juice is released. The liquid is sent by a hose to an aluminum vat where yeast is added, and it is kept
at a cool temperature for two days. Next, the liquid is transported via another hose to an open vat where
the yeast assists in the natural fermentation process. Then, approximately 10 percent of the liquid
continues in the process and the balance is discarded. The liquid is then sent by hoses to other vats to be
distilled twice in order to achieve the desire purity. It is measured and tested at every step. Finally, when
it has reached the proper temperature, it is transported by another hose or a tanker truck to the bottling
 SOAL T RY OUT I

TUBELSTAN - ALUMNI
plant. If it will be a select brand, it is placed in oak vat to be aged, which allows the distillate to mellow
and affects the color slightly.
In the bottling area, a machine fills the bottles, which are measured by an attendant. The bottles
then travel on a conveyor belt to several different workers, one who affixes the large label, another the
neck label, another the top, another the tape over the top, and so on. Then workers meticulously clean
and polish the bottles and peer through the glass for impurities. Finally, the bottles are boxed and
transported for wholesale or retail sale.
