Welcome Welkom Wellkommen

Selamat datang, Sugeng Rawuh, Wilujeng Sumping,

1. Terima kasih atas kunjungannya. Blog yang sangat sederhana ini saya coba hadirkan untuk ikut beramal ilmu, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan bahasa Inggris, dan lebih khusus lagi test TOEFL. Sejak beberapa waktu peluncurannya, blog cobatoefltest ini baru dilihat oleh 1500an pengunjung. Dari pengunjung ini, ada ratusan yang kemudian mencoba ikut test toefl (dari yang iseng-iseng pingin tahu berapa nilai toeflnya sampai yang serius ingin memiliki sertifikat toefl untuk berbagai keperluan di dalam negeri). Sebagian dari mereka pekerja/professional yang akan promosi jabatan. Sebagian lagi mahasiswa yang ingin wisuda dan mengambil ijasah. Sebagian lagi siswa SMU yang memerlukan sertifikat toefl untuk keperluan sekolahnya.
2. Mohon maaf kalau ‘sajian’ atau menu di blog ini masih sederhana sekali. Saya akan terus berusaha, diantara kesibukan mengajar bahasa Inggris di Universitas Pelita Harapan, Universitas Al Azhar Indonesia, dan beberapa institusi lainnya, meluangkan lebih banyak waktu untuk memperkaya isi blog ini.

Semoga bermanfaat. May God Almighty bless what we are doing.

Regards,

Agus Satoto, M.Hum

TOEFL TRYOUT for OVERSEAS STUDENTS

This Toefl Tryout service is also available for overseas students. The procedure is almost the same. See the procedure above. The only difference is the fee, which is only US$ 10 (ten US dollars) payable to Agus Satoto. Complete address is available upon request. So, wherever you are, you can check your English ability through TOEFL Tryout. It’s practical and inexpensive. The fee in the earlier ads is thus no longer valid.

     Carbon tetrachloride is a colorless and inflammable liquid that can be produced by combining carbon disulfide ad chlorine. This compound is widely used in industry today because of its effectiveness as a solvent as well as its use in the production of propellants.

     Despite its widespread use in industry, carbon tetrachloride has been banned for home use. In the past, carbon chloride was a common ingredient in cleaning compounds that were used throughout the home, but it was found to be dangerous; when heated, it changes into a poisonous gas that can cause severe illness and even death if it is inhaled. Because of this dangerous characteristic, the United States revoked permission for the home use of carbon tetrachloride in 1970. The United States has taken similar action with various other chemical compounds. 

1. The main point of this passage is that: A. carbon tetrachloride can be very dangerous when it is heated, B. the government banned carbon tetrachloride in 1970, C. although carbon tetrachloride can legally be used in industry, it is not allowed in home products, D. carbon tetrachloride used to be a regular part of cleaning compounds.

     The human heart is divided into four chambers, each of which serves its own function in the cycle of pumping blood. The atria are thin-walled upper chambers that gather blood as it flows from the veins between heartbeats. The ventricles are the thick-walled lower chambers that receive blood from the atria and push it into the arteries with each contraction of the heart. The left atrium and ventricle work separately from those on the right. The role of the chambers on the right side of the heart is to receive oxygen-depleted blood from the body tissues and send it on to the lungs; the chambers on the left side of the heart then receive the oxygen-enriched blood from the lungs and send it back out to the body tissues. 

7.   The passage indicates that the ventricles: A. have relatively thin walls, B. send blood to the atria, C. are  above    the atria. D. force blood into the arteries 

8.  According to the passage, when is blood pushed into arteries from the ventricles? A. as the heart beats, B. between heartbeats, C. before each contraction of the heart, D. before it is received by the atria 

9.  According to the passage, which part of the heart gets blood from the body tissues and passes it on to the lungs? A. The atria, B. The ventricles, C. The right atrium and ventricle, D. The left atrium and ventricle.
