SNBT UTBK - BING #2

Nowadays, our lives are practically dependent on the Information Communication Technology. Data from the Communications and Information Ministry show that Internet user in Indonesia increased from 74 million people in 2013 and 111 million in 2014. In Indonesia, Internet burst has been mainly used for accessing social media.

.

The popularity of the Internet and social media unfortunately has not extended to the education sector. ICT has not become a backbone of improving the country's competitiveness through education. The Ministry of Education and Culture recorded that only about 50 percent of the 234,999 primary and secondary schools in Indonesia has access to the Internet in mid-2014.

.

Advancement of ICT should ideally be able to revolutionize education. Technology brings new sources of learning beyond teacher. Moreover, the divide between students and subjects is further narrowed by the availability of educational content through ICT. A revolution in education is also possible through ICT as students can learn at the appropriate speed according to their capacity. Interactive digital content allows students to pick particular topics that they want to explore more. In a nutshell there is a democratization of learning process.

.

Unfortunately it is still a long road to revolutionize education in Indonesia through ICT. In addition to Building Technology infrastructure across the country's Island, ICT literacy for teachers, parents and students is also of importance. Without it, we are constrained from reaping the full benefits of ICT in educations.

.

Question: What does the passage mainly deal with?

• The access to ICT for Indonesian students

• The positive impact of ICT on Modern life.

The integration of technology and media can enhance early childhood practice.  Successful integration of technology and media into early childhood programs involve the use of resources such as computers and the internet in daily classroom practices.  True integration occurs when the use of technology and media becomes routine and transparent -  when the focus of a child or educator is on the activity of exploration itself and not on the technology or media being used.  Technology integration has been successful when the use of technology and media supports the goals of Educators and programs for children provides children with  digital tools for Learning and communicating and helps improve child outcomes. 

.

As the lives of children, parents, families and educators are infused with technology and media,  early childhood classrooms can benefit from the possibilities of extending children's learning through judicious use of these tools. As part of the overall classroom plan technology and interactive media should be  used in ways that support existing classroom developmental and educational goals rather than in ways that distort or replace them.  For example drawing on a touch screen can add children's graphic representational experiences;  manipulating colorful acetate shapes on the light table allows children to explore color and shape.

.

By focusing on technology and interactive media as tools - not as ends and of themselves -  teachers can avoid  potentially harmful use of non-interactive linear screen media that is inappropriate in early childhood settings. Intentionality  is a key to developmentally appropriate use.

.

Exciting new resources in today's technology-rich  will represent the next frontier in digital learning for your youngest citizens,  leaving it to talented educators and caring adults to determine how best to leverage its new technology as an opportunity for children's learning in ways that are developmentally appropriate.

.

Question: How does the first sentence relate to the other sentences in paragraph 1?

• The other sentences in paragraph 1 explain the impact of the integration of technology and media in early education explained in the first sentence

• The other sentences in paragraph 1 are examples of the use of technology in reeducation

• The first sentences contain information that is contrary to the information in the other sentences

• The other sentences vaguely support part of the statements in the first sentences

• The successful integration of technology and media in early childhood education really depends on good educators

• Educators should be selective in choosing educational goals to be integrated with the use of technology and media

The green movement is catching on in many pockets of the world. This is especially true in the world.  This is especially true in the construction industry.  Today's buzzwords, Which include global warming and zero emission,  are causing everyday people to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint.  Purchasing environmentally-friendly property  is a good investment for those who are concerned about their own health and the well-being of the earth.  Based on this trend,  entire districts,  known as eco-communities,  are being designed with green initiatives in mind.  Dockside Green in Victoria,  British Columbia,  Canada is one of these communities.  It's goal is to become the world's first zero-emission neighborhood. 

.

Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make.  They ensure proper ventilation and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior building materials such as paints and wood are natural and non-toxic. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticides to grow.

.

Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as  Dockside Green.  Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save resident and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that homeowners will use 50% less energy than the average resident in Canada. Though they are sharing space by investing in condo-style living, residents will have individual utility meters. Studies show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are bailed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing toilets. 

.

Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside will reuse 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions. Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of mini transit  system and buy into the community’s share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable biomass instead of fossil fuels.

.

Question: By saying "Today's buzzwords, which include global warming and zero emissions, are causing everyday people to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint." The author implies that _________

• Environmental issues have made people more cautious of their actions.

• Global warming and zero emissions become everyone's concern.

• People have to take care of their greenhouse carefully

• Eco-friendly environmental programs should be strongly ecforced.

• All people around the world are aware of global warming.
