Question 48 through 50 are based on the following explanation of Life Insurance production to a customer. Now that you know you want to purchase life insurance, you must choose from two types. The amount of money paid periodically for an insurance policy is a premium. The type of life insurance you choose will affect the amount of premium you pay. Term life insurance is purchased for a given period of time, or term. At the end of the term, the insurance expires. It insures your life based on a formula that considers how long you are expected to live. This product provides the greatest coverage for the least amount of money. You do not pay any money as an investment in addition to the insurance cost. If you choose to purchase insurance after the expiration, the premium will be higher because it is calculated on your attained age, and at the point, you will be older than you are now. The longer the premium is guaranteed to remain constant, the greater the premium will be because it reflects the average cost of insurance for all years being covered. Cash value life insurance, on the other hand, has a component fund in which the life insurance company deposits part of the premium and pays interest earned on its investments in mortgages, bonds, stocks, and other investments. The balance of the premium purchases term insurance, which is calculated in the same way as if you purchase term life insurance. Consequently, the premium is significantly higher than that of term life insurance. However, most cash value life insurance products have a fixed premium schedule and remain in effect throughout your life. In many cases, the interest earned on the investment portion of the premium will ultimately pay the premiums so that at some point you can continue making payments out of a pocket. Once the fund has started to accumulate, you may borrow some of the funds at a low interest rate, receive retirement income, or stop paying premiums. This type of policy also builds up a cash e so that if you want to cancel the policy, which has no value other than the insurance. 48. Which of the following is not a reason to buy cash value insurance? (A). It is less expensive than term insurance (B). It can have a fixed premium for life. (C). It may result in the insured's being able to discontinue premium payments. (D). It may result in retirement income. Correct answer : A 49. Why is cash value life insurance more expensive than term life insurance? (A). because the insured must pay for the agent's retirement fund. (B). because it is pure insurance. (C). because part of the money is invested. (D). because it is based on the age of the insured Correct answer : C 50. Which of the following is a benefit of term life insurance? (A). It is inexpensive. (B). One can borrow from the fund that is built up. (C). The premium is paid by the interest. (D). It requires an easier medical examination than does cash value insurance. Correct answer : A

SECTION II : STRUCTURE AND WRITTEN EXPRESSION In order to make everybody understand this TOEFL Explanation, we write this explanation in Bahasa Indonesia. Pembahasan TOEFL Test ini menggunakan soal Free TOEFL Test yang ada pada www.toeflindonesia.com. Part A 1. The attorney told his client that _________________________ A. They had little chance of winning the case. B. The case was of a small chance to win C. It was nearly impossible to win him the case. D. The case had a minimum chance to be won by him. Explanation : Setiap kalimat dalam bahasa Inggris harus mengikuti aturan bahasa baku : Subject + Verb + Object + Adverb. “that” menandai kalimat baru, yg mengikuti pola S+V+O+Adv. Saran saya, carilah kalimat yang secara jelas mengikuti pola di atas. Jawaban yang terlalu rumit, justru biasanya salah. Correct Answer : A 1. They had little chance of winning the case. S V O · Jawaban B salah, karena “was of” bukanlah kata yg benar secara grammar. · Jawaban C salah, karena tidak tepat mengatakan “to win him the case”. Yang benar “to win the case for him” · Jawaban D salah, karena 2 noun yang tidak tepat penggunaannya, yaitu “minimum chance”. akan lebih tepat jika digunakan adjective + noun : “small chance”.



2. One of the professor’s greatest attributes is _______________ A. when he gives lectures B. how in the manner that he lectures C. the way to give lectures D. his ability to lecture Explanation : Disini kembali diuji pemahaman anda terhadap “English Sentence Rule”, yaitu : S + V + O + Adv. “tobe” (is/am/are/was/were/be) adalah verb, atau bagian verb phrase jika diikuti oleh verb-ing (ex. Is going, are watching, etc). Kalimat : “One of the professor’s greatest attributes is..” harus diikuti oleh Verb-ing, atau objek. Pada soal di atas, tidak ada pilihan jawaban (A,B,C, atau D) yang diawali dengan verb-ing. Jadi, jawaban yang anda pilih adalah jawaban yang diawali dengan “objek”.

Untuk pilihan A & B tidak tepat karena kata “attributes” (meaning : sifat/ciri khusus), pada kalimat soal, bentuknya statis, sedangkan when (ketika) dan how (bagaimana) digunakan untuk menerangkan sesuatu yang dinamis. Jawaban C bisa benar jika ditulis : the way he give lecture. Correct answer : D 3. The bank sent a notice to its customers which contained _______________ A. a remembrance that interest rate were to raise the following month B. a reminder that a raise in interest rates was the month following C. to remember that interest rates were going up next month D. a reminder that interest rates would rise the following month. Explanation : “Which contained” hrs diikuti oleh object. Jadi C jelas salah. A remembrance = ingatan, sedangkan a reminder = surat peringatan. Jadi, a reminder lebih tepat daripada a remembrance. Sekarang ada 2 jawaban yg didahului dg kata : a reminder, yaitu B dan D. Mana yg benar? Ada kata kunci berikutnya yang membedakan jawaban B dengan D. Yaitu kata “the month following” pada B dengan “the following month” pada D. Yang benar adalah : The following month (meaning :bulan berikutnya). Correct answer : D.



4. ______________ was the day before yesterday. A. The France’s Independence Day B. The day of the French independence C. French’s Independence Day D. France’s Independence Day Explanation : Hari kemerdekaan = Independence day. Jadi B jelas salah. France = negara Perancis, French = orang perancis. Jadi yg tepat adalah : France, karena yang kita bicarakan adalah kemerdekaan NEGARA Perancis. Sedangkan untuk penggunaan “The” pada nama negara, hanya digunakan untuk negara yg namanya 2 kata atau lebih, misalnya : The United States of America, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Sedangkan negara dengan satu kata, seperti : France, Indonesia, tidak pakai “The”. Jadi, jawaban A dan B salah, karena penggunaan “The” dan “French” yang salah. Correct Answer : D 5. It was not until she had arrived home ______________ remembered her appointment with the doctor. A. when she B. that she C. and she D. she Explanation : Jawabannya : It was not until ....that... Penggunaan “when” pada jawaban A dianggap berlebihan (redundant)/ tidak diperlukan. Correct Answer : B

6. George would certainly have attended the proceedings ________________ A. if he didn’t get a flat tire B. if the flat tire hadn’t happened. C. had he not had a flat tire D. had the tire not flattened itself. Explanation : Soal ini tentang “Conditional Sentence (kalimat bersyarat / if clause). Yg menyatakan, bahwa sesuatu baru terjadi, jika (if) syaratnya terpenuhi. Ada 3 conditional sentences : 1. Future Condition (Possibly true) : S + will + Verb1 + Object + IF + S + Verb1 Ex. I will watch TV if I finish my homework 2. Present Condition (Contrary to fact) : S + would + Verb1 + Object + IF + S + Verb2 Ex. I would watch TV if I finished my homework 3. Past Condition (Contrary to fact) : S + would have + Verb3 + Object + IF + S + had + Verb3 Ex. I would have watched TV if I had finished my homework Khusus untuk Past condition, If bisa dihilangkan, asal “Had” dipindahkan ke depan. Jadi kalimat : I would have watched TV if I had finished my homework. bisa juga ditulis : I would have watched TV had I finished my homework. Anda lihat, bahwa soal : George would certainly have attended the proceedings menunjukkan if clause untuk Past Condition (S + would have + verb 3 + object), jadi carilah sambungannya pada pilihan jawaban A,B,C,D, yang sesuai dengan if clause untuk past condition, yaitu : IF + S + had + Verb3. · Jawaban A salah, karena menggunakan If + S + V2. · Jawaban B salah, karena tidak tepat mengatakan: if the flat tire hadn’t happened (bentuk aktif). Betul bila dikatakan : if the flat tire hadn’t been happened. · Jawaban D salah, karena tire (ban) tidak mungkin mengempiskan dirinya sendiri. Correct Answer : C ( had he not had a flat tire = If he had not had a flat tire. (jika dia tidak mengalami ban kempes.) flat tire = ban kempes )



7. _______________ received law degrees as today. A. Never so many women have B. Never have so many women C. The women aren’t ever D. Women who have never Explanation : Yang benar adalah : Never have (meaning = tidak pernah terjadi). Phrase “never have” tidak bisa dipisah. Jawaban A salah karena “Never” dan “have” dipisah. Jawaban C salah, karena “aren’t ever” seharusnya ditulis “are never”

Jawaban D salah, karena kata “who” tidak diperlukan. Correct Answer : B



8. The students liked that professor’s course because _____________________ A. there was few if any homework B. not a lot of homework C. of there wasn’t a great amount of homework D. there was little or no homework. Explanation : Yg diujikan : pemahaman anda tentang penggunaan “Because” dan “Because of” “Because” harus diikuti S + V, sedangkan “Because of” harus diikuti noun / noun phrase (tanpa Verb). Ex : “Because It was rain”, or “Because of rain”. Selanjutnya juga diujikan tentang countable & uncountable noun. Sedikit (countable) = few. Ex. Few books, few cars. Sedikit (uncountable) = little. Ex. Little money, little sugar. Homework adalah uncountable noun, jadi yg tepat adalah : little homework. Correct Answer : D 9. George ______________ he could improve his test scores, but he didn’t have enough time to study. A. knew to B. knew how C. knew how that D. knew how to



Explanation : Penggunaan : knew how + Subject + Verb, sedangkan knew how to + v. Karena sesudah titik2 adalah Subject (he), maka jawaban yg benar adalah B.



Jawaban D akan benar, kalau soalnya : George ________ improve his test scores,.. Correct Answer : B



10. _________________ he would have come to class. A. If Mike is able to finish his homework B. Would Mike be able to finish his homework C. If Mike could finish his homework D. If Mike had been able to finish his homework. Explanation : Lihat penjelasan conditional sentence pada no.6. “...he would have come to class” adalah if clause untuk “Past Condition”, jadi carilah pasangannya yang sesuai rumus past condition ( If + S + had + Verb 3) Tambahan : Conditional sentence bisa dibalik, dengan If terlebih dahulu. Pada past condition, jika tidak menggunakan verb3, maka harus ditambahkan kata “been” Ex. I would have gone to Jakarta If I hadn’t been sick. Ex2. He would have been angry If I hadn’t come to his house. Correct Answer : D

11. Lee contributed fifty dollars, but he wishes he could contribute ___________ A. one other fifty dollars B. the same amount also C. another fifty D. more fifty dollars Explanation : Jawaban A : tidak tepat mengatakan “one other”, seharusnya “another”. Jawaban B : “the same amount also” Artinya : “Jumlah yang sama juga”. Jawaban ini membingungkan, karena seolah-olah maknanya dia belum menyumbang sama sekali, padahal kan sudah, Cuma ia mau nambah 50 dollar lagi. Jawaban D : Berlebihan/tidak tepat penggunaan “more” (artinya : lebih banyak). Tentu saja kalau dia menyumbang 50 dollar lagi, itu berarti lebih banyak. Jadi tidak perlu menggunakan kata “more”. Kalau menggunakan “more”, tidak perlu sebutkan jumlah uangnya. Misalnya : “more money”. Correct answer : C



12. The people at the party were worried about Janet because no one was aware _____________ she had gone. A. where that B. of where C. of the place where D. the place Explanation : Jawaban A : berlebihan. Cukup gunakan salahsatu, “where” atau “that”. Disamping itu, kata “aware” harus diikuti “of”. Jawaban C : juga berlebihan. Kata “of the place” tidak diperlukan. Ingat, Bahasa Inggris formal harus efisien. Hindari pengulangan yang tidak perlu. “Where” sudah menanyakan tempat, tidak perlu ditambahi dengan “of the place”. Jawaban D : salah, karena kata “aware” harus diikuti “of”.



13. Fred’s yearly income since he changed professions has __________ A. nearly tripled B. got almost three times bigger C. almost grown by three times D. just about gone up three times Explanation : Jawaban B : Redundant/berlebihan.

Kata ”yet” haruslah ditaruh di akhir kalimat, dan tidak boleh di tengah atau di awal kalimat. Jawaban A : yet ditaruh di tengah, jadi salah Jawaban B : penggunaan “as a result” kurang tepat, seharusnya “because” Jawaban D : salah menggunakan “still”. Still harus diletakkan sebelum Verb, bukan sesudahnya. Correct answer : C

Part B 16. She wishes that we didn’t send her the candy yesterday because she’s on a diet A B C D Explanation : Menguji penggunaan kata “Wish”. Ada 2 kata yang memiliki arti sama, tetapi cara penggunaan yang berbeda, yaitu kata : “Wish” dan “Hope”. Keduanya berarti : berharap. Perbedaan penggunaan menyangkut : 1. Untuk “Wish” digunakan untuk menyatakan harapan yang tidak mungkin terkabul, sedangkan “Hope” digunakan untuk menyatakan harapan yang dapat terkabul. Misalkan Rudi ingin mengajak Tina ke pestanya, tapi ia tahu Rina tidak bisa datang karena sakit, maka ia akan berkata : “ I wish you came to my party”, tapi jika Rina tidak ada halangan untuk datang, maka Rudi akan berkata “I hope you come to my party”. 2. Wish selalu menggunakan past tense,untuk menunjukkan bahwa itu tidak bisa terjadi, sedangkan Hope bisa menggunakan present tense, untuk

menunjukkan bahwa itu bisa terjadi. Misalnya, untuk sesuatu yg berlangsung sekarang, Wish harus menggunakan Simple past, sedangkan Hope dalam simple present. Sedangkan untuk hal yang terjadi di masa lampau, Hope menggunakan simple past, sedangkan Wish menggunakan past perfect. Pada soal di atas, kejadiannya terjadi yesterday (kemarin), maka jika menggunakan wish, haruslah dalam past perfect tense. Jadi kalimat yg benar adalah : She wishes that we hadn’t sent her the candy yesterday because she’s on a diet. Correct answer : A.

21. Mumps are a very common disease which usually affects children. A B C D Explanation : Mumps = penyakit gondok (singular). Jadi huruf “s” pada kata “mumps” bukanlah karena berbentuk plural/jamak, tapi memang bentuk singularnya adalah “mumps”(nama penyakit adalah uncountable noun, jadi selalu singular). Karena itu, “tobe” yang cocok untuk singular subject adalah “is”. Correct Answer : A



22. Nancy said that she went to the supermarket before coming home. A B C D Explanation : Dalam past tense, penggunaan “before” menunjukkan adanya 2 action dalam kalimat itu : “First Action” before “Second Action”. First action haruslah dalam past perfect tense, dan second action haruslah dalam “simple past/verb-ing + object”. Jadi, kalimat di atas seharusnya : “(Past perfect) before (Simple past)/(verb-ing + object). First action : she went to the supermarket Second action : coming home. Jadi, kalimat yang benar seharusnya : Nancy said that she had gone to the supermarket before coming home. Atau : Nancy said that she had gone to the supermarket before she went home. Correct Answer : B



23. Before she moved here, Arlene had been president of the organization A B C since four years. D Explanation : Kata “since” berarti sejak, harusnya diikuti tahun/ tanggal/specific time. Ex.

25. The athlete, together with his coach, and several relatives, are traveling to A B C D the Olympic Games. Explanation : Kata-kata : together with, accompanied by, as well as, along with, tidak mempengaruhi subjek. Jadi misalnya : Rudi together with Tina, itu dianggap singular subject, dan harus diikuti singular verb. Ex. : Rudi, together with Tina, plays video game. Tapi kalau “Rudi and Tina”, itu dianggap plural subject, dan harus diikuti plural verb. Ex. : Rudi and Tina play video game. Pada soal di atas, “The athlete, together with his coach and several relatives,..” dianggap singular subject, jadi harus diikuti “tobe” untuk singular subject, yaitu menggunakan “is”, dan bukan “are”.

27. My brother is in California on vacation, but I wish he was here so that he A B C could help me repair my car. D Explanation : Jika anda menggunakan 2 kata kerja dalam satu kalimat (ingat, tobe juga merupakan kata kerja), maka kedua kata kerja harus dihubungkan dengan “to”. For example : I want to go. He needs to relax. Pada bagian kalimat : “He could help me repair my car”, ada 2 kata kerja : help dan repair, tapi tidak dihubungkan dengan “to” sehingga salah. Seharusnya : He could help me to repair my car. Correct Answer : D

32. The town we visited was a four – days journey from our hotel, so we took the A B C train instead of the bus. D Explanation : Jika anda menjumpai kata-kata yang memakai strip (-) seperti di atas, itu artinya kata-kata itu berfungsi sebagai adjektif, yang tugasnya menjelaskan Noun sesudah kata tersebut. Jadi, four-day menerangkan journey. Karena berfungsi sebagai adjective, ia tidak boleh berbentuk plural, tapi harus singular. Yang benar adalah : a four-day journey. Correct Answer : B



33. The influence of the nation’s literature, art, and science have captured A B C widespread attention. D Explanation : Jika anda menjumpai noun phrase yang dihubungkan dengan “of”, maka kata sebelum “of” lah yg menentukan singular/plural-nya kata tersebut. Ex : Teacher of English = singular, Teachers of English = plural. Jadi, “The influence of the nation’s literature, art, and science” adalah singular, karena yang dilihat adalah kata sebelum “of”, yaitu “The influence”. Karena itu, auxilliary yang tepat adalah “has”. Correct Answer : C

One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century.

Questions 35 through 38 are based on the following reading. Glands manufacture and secrete necessary substances. Exocrine glands secrete their products through ducts, but endocrine glands, or ductless glands release their products directly into the bloodstream. One important endocrine gland is the thyroid gland. It is in the neck and has two lobes, one on each side of the windpipe. The thyroid gland collects iodine from the blood and produces thyroxine, an important hormone, which is stores in an inactive form. When thyroxine is needed by the body, the thyroid gland excretes it directly into the bloodstream. Thyroxine is combined in the body cells with other chemicals and affects many functions of the body. The thyroid gland may be underactive or overactive, resulting in problems. An underactive thyroid causes hypothyroidism, while an overactive one causes hyperthyroidism. The former problem, called myxedema in adults and cretinism in children, causes the growth process to slow down. A cretin’s body and mind do not grow to their full potential. Hyperthyroidism, on the other hand, results

in extreme nervousness, an increase in heart action, and other problems. Either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism may result in goiter, or an enlarged thyroid gland.

Questions 39 through 43 are based on the following reading. A recent investigation by scientists at the US Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten – kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably. Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before the mishap. In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating quake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.

Questions 48 through 52 are based on the following passage. As far back as 700 B.C., man has talked about children being cared for by wolves. Romulus and Remus, the legendary twin founders of Rome, were purported to have been cared for by wolves. It is believed that when a she-wolf loses her litter, she seeks a human child to take its place. This seemingly preposterous idea did not become credible until the late nineteenth century when a French doctor actually found a naked ten-year-old boy wandering in the woods. He didn’t walk erect, could not speak intelligibly, nor could he relate to people. He only growled and stared at them. Finally the doctor won the boy’s confidence and began to work with him. After many long years of devoted and patient instruction, the doctor was able to get the boy to clothe and feed himself, recognize and utter a number of words, as well as write letters and form words. ________________________________________

Questions 55 through 60 are based on the following reading. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacteria that has been isolated from sea water, shell fish, finfish, plankton, and salt springs. It has been a major cause of food poisoning in Japan and the Japanese have done several studies on it. They have confirmed the presence of V. parahaemolyticus in the north and central Pacific with the highest abundance in inshore waters, particularly in or near large harbors. A man named Nishio studied the relationship between the chloride content of sea water and the seasonal distribution of V. parahaemolyticus in sea water and concluded that while the isolation of V. parahaemolyticus was independent of the sodium chloride content, the distribution of V. parahaemolyticus in sea water was dependent on the water temperature. In fact, it has been isolated in high frequencies during summer, from June to September, but was not isolated with the same frequency in winter. Within four or five days after eating contaminated foods, a person will begin to experience diarrhea, the most common symptom; this will very often be accompanied by stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Headache and fever, with or without chills, may also be experienced. ________________________________________
