A complete skeleton of a 19- or 20-year-old Homo sapiens was found during 2020 excavations at a site called Liang Tebo, in remote Sangkulirang Mangkalihat region of eastern Kalimantan. Early human remains are scarce in the region, and the researchers involved in this study suggest this may be the oldest known burial of a modern human that has ever been found in the region's islands. During the dig, the find took on a whole new level of intrigue as the team discovered that the skeleton's lower leg was entirely missing. The limb had been not broken or smashed, but cleanly removed, and the archaeologists found unusual bony overgrowth on the remaining fragments of the tibia and fibula. That overgrowth matched overgrowth seen in modern clinical cases of amputations.

Further investigations showed that the bone developed atrophy, indicating the part of the limb that remained was a stump with limited use. Investigations into this remodeling of bone structure showed some six to nine years of such changes. "This confirms that the surgery was not fatal, not infected and likely occurred during late childhood," says Tim Maloney, who specializes in the archaeology of Borneo at Griffith University, in Australia, and co-authored the study.

To perform a successful operation, prehistoric surgeons must have had knowledge of anatomy. They sliced through not only bone but muscles, veins and nerves in such a way that the patient didn't bleed to death or go into a fatal state of shock. Their scalpels were likely the flaked lithic edges common to the era: a stone called chert, which can produce extremely sharp edges. Afterwards the surgeons may have employed a tourniquet or cauterizing, though neither would leave clear evidence on the skeleton and so remain unknown possibilities.

What seems certain, however, is that the patient enjoyed a considerable level of post-op care. "It is highly unlikely that this individual could have survived the procedure without intensive nursing care, including blood loss and shock management, and regular wound cleaning," Maloney notes. He believes the successful operation implies that the community also had some understanding of antiseptic and antimicrobial management to prevent fatal infection. In this, their foraging lifestyle and forest environment might have proved to be advantages.

1. Which information indicates the assertion that the early human survived the suggested amputation?
A. The skeleton does not include a lower leg part.
B. The bone of the amputated leg shrunk in size.
C. The amputated part was cleanly removed.
D. The remaining part of the leg shows no signs of infection.
E. There could have been post-op care.

Jawaban: D

2. What is the significance of the expression "the find took on a whole new level of intrigue?"
A. To emphasize the importance of the information that follows
B. To provide an example for the findings of the early human remains in Liang Tebo
C. To elaborate the finding of the oldest modern human burial site
D. To introduce the information about the finding of an advanced surgery method
E. To introduce the comparison between early and modern methods of amputation

Jawaban: A

There are many habits I've gained while working from home: snacking when desired, taking the dog for a midmorning walk, talking to myself and settling in for a daily nap. That last one will be especially painful to give up if or when I return to an office; my naps have become essential downtime that act as afternoon pick-me-ups. Why do my naps feel so needed and so revitalising? And will I have to live without?

There are two biological processes that contribute to daily drowsiness, says Sara Mednick, a professor of cognitive science at the University of California at Irvine and author of Take a Nap! Change Your Life.

The first system is the circadian: It prompts you to stay awake when it's light out and asleep when it's dark. In the middle of the day, it causes the hormone cortisol to start decreasing from its morning high and your core body temperature to slightly dip; losing heat helps you fall and stay asleep. The second is the homeostatic: It makes you sleepier the longer you've been awake. As the day progresses, it continually increases your "sleep pressure," causing you to have a growing need for sleep. Together, at midday, these create "kind of a perfect storm that makes people tired," Mednick says.

For many people who are sleep-deprived, a short shut-eye session is the ticket, Mednick says. "Your mood gets better, your creativity, your perceptual processing, your memory processing."

Mednick has found that nappers perform as well on a pattern-recognition task as people who have slept overnight. She has found that naps enhance creative problem-solving. Naps can boost and restore brain power. Toddlers who nap express more joy. Adults nappers can tolerate frustration longer and feel less impulsive. Naps may help protect older people from cognitive decline and dementia. Runners can use naps to improve endurance. People who nap once or twice a week have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Memory is better after a nap. And on it goes.

3. What can we conclude from the effects of taking a nap discussed in paragraph 5?
A. The effects of napping include both psychological and physiological advantages.
B. If done correctly, napping can have a huge range of health benefits.
C. Taking a nap does not only help with metabolism, but also with mood regulation.
D. Children are more affected by naps than adults are.
E. The advantages of napping for the human brain are its most significant effects.

Jawaban: B

4. The author uses the word 'daily' in the second paragraph mainly to...
A. demonstrate the intensity of drowsiness
B. put forward an idea about drowsiness
C. emphasize the importance of the word drowsiness
D. show that the drowsiness must occur everyday
E. indicate which specific drowsiness

Jawaban: A

5. What do processes in paragraph 3 tell us about our body?
A. The sleep pressure is one of our body's weaknesses.
B. Sleep is a relaxing mechanism of the brain.
C. The body regulates sleep through biological processes.
D. There are two ways for our body to take a nap.
E. We can control the body's need for sleep in two ways.

Jawaban: C

6. Which question is answered by paragraph 5?
A. Why do many people take naps?
B. What are the benefits of naps?
C. What are the drawbacks of taking naps?
D. What makes naps better than sleeping overnight?
E. Why does our body need naps?

Jawaban: B

More than two billion cups of coffee are drunk every day and for many, working life would feel impossible without it. As traditionally tea-drinking countries like China are seduced by coffee's charms, it may soon become the world's favourite drink. What is driving this insatiable thirst, and how has the beverage come to conquer the world? Coffee's story starts in the lush highlands of Ethiopia, the natural homeland of the delicate Coffee arabica plant. Although they are called "coffee beans", the plant is not a legume, and the fruits of the coffee tree look more like cherries when they are first picked. The seeds inside are extracted and dried before the process of roasting turns them into the hard, nutty nodules we feed into our grinders.

The Oromo people from Ethiopia are thought to have been the first to have noticed the stimulating effects of these "beans", and coffee still remains an important element of their traditional cuisine. Exactly how and when it spread beyond Ethiopia is still the subject of many legends, but the available historic records suggest that the Sufis of Yemen were the first truly devoted drinkers outside Africa in the Middle Ages.

Its caffeine helped them to continue their practices late into the night, while the roasting of the bean was apparently taken as an analogy for the transcendence of the human soul. Coffee houses soon spread across the Middle East and the Ottoman Empire, where they caught the attention of Western traders, who took the beguiling drink back to their home countries in the 17th Century.

(...). One newspaper advert in 1657 described the drink as "having many excellent virtues, closes the orifice of the stomach, fortifies the heart within, helps digestion, brights up the spirit." created by hellsxnki on twitter Some studies suggest that coffee can offer some protection from certain common diseases. A recent review of the evidence by Susanna Larsson at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that each cup of coffee per day is associated with a 6% reduction in the risk of type 2 diabetes. Laura Van Dongen at Wageningen University, meanwhile, has found that regular coffee drinkers were at least 20% less likely to die from heart disease.

Read the text below and answer the questions based on it. (14-16)

Stretching more than 2.300 kilometers along Queensland's coastline and covering 35 million hectares, the Great Barrier is the world's largest coral reef, and probably the richest. More than 1.500 species of fish, 4.000 species of mollusks, 400 species of sponge and 300 species of hard corals live here. The reef is Queensland's first world heritage area. It is very important to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with significant cultural sites on many of its islands. The reef is very important in other ways. The World Heritage Area is worth some $5.4 billion to the Australian economy. As many as $3.5 billion of that amount goes into the local towns and communities bordering the reef.

Recent research published by the Australian Institute of Marine Science has found two primary factors that have caused a very significant decline in coral cover over the last 30 years or so. They are extreme weather and the crown-of-thorns starfish. The same research is telling us that coral cover north of Cook town is generally stable, but the southern area is experiencing major losses. The reef's complexities are well described in the 2013 Scientific Consensus Statement. This science contributed to the updated Reef Water Quality Protection Plan (Reef Plan). The plan is a state and federal initiative designed to stop and reverse the decline in reef water quality. The consensus statement confirms that the major cause of coral cover loss is extreme weather events, such as cyclones. Clearly, we are not able to influence such events.

The second Great Barrier Reef Report Card confirms that management change and water quality improvements are tracking positively, but more needs to be done. The report was released in July 2013 and based on 2011 Paddock to Reef Monitoring Program data. The Queensland and Australian governments, together with industry, regional bodies, and conservation groups, will continue working hard to maintain progress towards Reef Plan targets. We want to be sure that the reef has the best possible opportunity to recover from cyclone damage and crown-of-thorns starfish attacks.

14. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The Great Barrier Reef is under the threat of nature.

Those in the retail industry that are successful in digitally transforming will be ones that leverage technology to innovate around an immersive and disruptive customer experience. These "lighthouse" retailers are the ones driving innovation, adopting emerging technologies early, and showing the industry what works and is possible. They are the ones experimenting with new models and store formats, playing with recombinations/reconfigurations of scale, assets, product, place, and people. The "store of the future" is the keystone of this effort.

The store of the future will combine multiple formats to deliver an immersive and unique experience across all customer touchpoints online and in the store. It will be heavily instrumented for operational efficiency and digitally connected end-to-end to leverage a single view of customer, product, and order. The store of the future - despite its reliance on sophisticated technology and infrastructure - will be trying to look smaller and less intimidating, more personalized, and frictionless.

The deployment of these and other digital technologies in disruptive ways can turn visitors into shoppers and shoppers into brand-loyal customers. However, understanding which consumers want personalization and which want contextualized and relevant experiences, while protecting everyone's privacy, has grown more difficult. With so much at stake, data privacy has become a challenge for every party involved.

21. Who needs to see the passage?
A. Online customer

Earthquake is any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth's rocks. Seismic waves are produced when some form of energy stored in Earth's crust is suddenly released, usually when masses of rock straining against one another suddenly fracture and "slip." Earthquakes occur most often along geologic faults, narrow zones where rock masses move in relation to one another. The major fault lines of the world are located at the fringes of the huge tectonic plates that make up Earth's crust.

Little was understood about earthquakes until the emergence of seismology at the beginning of the 20th century. Seismology, which involves the scientific study of all aspects of earthquakes, has yielded answers to such long-standing questions as why and how earthquakes occur. About 50,000 earthquakes large enough to be noticed without the aid of instruments occur annually over the entire Earth. Of these, approximately 100 are of sufficient size to produce substantial damage if their centers are near areas of habitation. Very great earthquakes occur on average about once per year. Over the centuries they have been responsible for millions of deaths and an incalculable amount of damage to property.

23. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses...
A. suggestions to emerge the seismology to detect the earthquake
B. examples of the substantial damage that caused by the earthquake
C. the development of seismology to identify the earthquake earlier
D. factors that cause the earthquake and seismic wave
E. the reason why we need the seismology

Jawaban: D

24. What is the author's attitude towards the topic of the passage?
A. Concerned
B. Critical
C. Informative
D. Satisfied
E. Optimistic

Jawaban: C

25. What will happen when seismic waves pass through Earth's rocks?
A. It will answer why and how earthquakes occur.
B. It may cause an earthquake.
C. It will store some form of energy in Earth's crust.
D. The masses of rock will slip.
E. It may produce seismic waves.

Jawaban: B

TikTok is often applauded for its recommendation system; once it's finely tuned, the app becomes one of the best scrolling experiences. My personal theory is that's why TikTok is so addicting-everything is so perfectly curated to your specific interests, it's hard to put the phone down once you're sucked in. However, TikTok's recommendation algorithm still has its own flaws that the company brings up in its new blog post.

"One of the inherent challenges with recommendation engines is that they can inadvertently limit user experience-what is sometimes referred to as a 'filter bubble'," the post reads. It states that by optimizing for personalization and relevance, there is a risk of presenting an increasingly homogenous stream of videos.

Another issue that TikTok takes seriously is not surfacing dangerous content. This is an issue that YouTube in particular has faced criticism over for many years. According to TikTok, content that has graphic material like medical procedures or "legal consumption of regulated goods," like alcohol, may not be eligible for recommendation because it could come across as "shocking if surfaced as a recommended video to a general audience". That's why many creators on TikTok will upload a video more than once or talk openly about feeling shadow banned over particular content.

26. The writer of the passage intends to...
A. Illustrate TikTok users' concerns about the app's recommendation system
B. Oppose the idea that TikTok has a sophisticated recommendation system
C. Warn the readers about TikTok's poor recommendation system
D. Inform about the downsides of TikTok's recommendation system
E. Explain how TikTok resolves the recommendation system issue

Jawaban: D

27. On the basis of the passage, it can be predicted that...
A. Video creators on TikTok will avoid creating dangerous content.
B. TikTok will be considered a safer social media platform compared to YouTube.
C. Videos with sensitive content can only be recommended for a specific scope of viewers.
D. Other social media platforms will look up to TikTok for its good recommendation system.
E. Users will be exposed to topics outside their preferences in their recommendation feeds

Jawaban: C

Loneliness and social isolation in older adults are serious public health risks affecting a significant number of people in the United States and putting them at risk for dementia and other serious medical conditions. A report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) points out that more than one-third of adults aged 45 and older feel lonely, and nearly one-fourth of adults aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated. Older adults are at increased risk for loneliness and social isolation because they are more likely to face factors such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and hearing loss.

Although it's hard to measure social isolation and loneliness precisely, there is strong evidence that many adults aged 50 and older are socially isolated or lonely in ways that put their health at risk. Recent studies found that social isolation significantly increased a person's risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. Poor social relationships (characterized by social isolation or loneliness) was also associated with a 29% increased risk of heart disease. Loneliness among heart failure patients was associated with a nearly 4 times increased risk of death, 68% increased risk of hospitalization, and 57% increased risk of emergency department visits.

28. The writer's intention in writing the passage is to...
A. Disseminate the information about the impacts loneliness and social isolation in the elderly.
B. Encourage people to be more concerned about the elderly who are lonely and socially isolated.
C. Prove that the elderly experiencing loneliness and social isolation actually exist in the United States.
D. Convey the pain and sadness experienced by lonely and socially isolated elderly based on research.
E. Tell about the loneliness and unhappiness felt by the elderly who are socially isolated, as well as research findings

Jawaban: A

29. To whom is the text likely addressed?
A. Families staying with elderly
B. People living around elderly
C. Pensioners who have just left their jobs
D. Senior citizens living alone in the suburbs
E. Employers having old workers in their companies

Jawaban: D

30. From the last paragraph, we can infer that...
A. Those who experience loneliness may develop heart disease.
B. Feeling lonely aggravates the heart condition of the elderly.
C. Heart disease is the worst ailment that a lonely older person will suffer from.
D. The older people get, the more lonely they will feel.
E. Loneliness and social isolation that people experience makes them unable to survive.
