Pengenalan Kepada MUET
Dalam aras sistem pendidikan di Malaysia, selain daripada Bahasa Melayu atau
Bahasa Kebangsaan, terdapat satu lagi bahasa iaitu Bahasa Inggeris yang
sememangnya memainkan peranan yang penting dalam mempertingkatkan
keupayaan seseorang calon itu. Oleh demikian satu peperiksaan yang dikenali
sebagai Malaysia University English Test (MUET) telah diperkenalkan oleh
Kementerian Pendidikan bagi mempertingkatkan martabat Bahasa Inggeris itu
sendiri.
Bukan untuk menakutkan anda tetapi pada hakikatnya peratusan calon lulus
Peperiksaan MUET ini cuma 45% sahaja yang mendapat Band 3 ke atas untuk satusatu peperiksaan MUET pada tahun 2007 yang lalu. Dan saya percaya inilah statistik
yang lebih kurang sama untuk MUET tahun ini dan yang akan datang.
Kenapa ini terjadi?
Kepada anda yang akan mengambil MUET sesi 2014, adakah anda betul-betul sudah
bersedia? Ada beberapa soalan yang ingin saya tanyakan kepada anda. Jawablah
dengan sejujurnya ..
1. Sudahkah anda memantapkan tatabahasa Bahasa Inggeris anda?
2. Sudahkan anda meningkatkan kosakata Bahasa Inggeris anda?
3. Sudahkah anda tingkatkan pembacaan anda?
4. Sudahkan anda membeli buku-buku MUET dengan soalan-soalan sebenar
untuk membiasakan diri anda dengan format MUET?
Jangan risau, ebook ini menyediakan panduan lengkap buat anda ..
Untuk mereka yang akan mengambil Malaysia University English Test atau lebih
dikenali dengan singkatan MUET adalah penting untuk anda mengetahui apakah
komponen-komponen atau aspek yang akan diuji didalam Peperiksaan MUET itu
nanti, apakah markah maksimum untuk setiap komponen dan juga apakah markah
yang diperlukan untuk mencapai sesuatu Band. Anda perlu tahu kesemua ini dengan
terang dan jelas agar anda akan lebih bersedia untuk mengambil Peperiksaan MUET
dan mendapat keputusan cemerlang.

Apa itu MUET?
Malaysian University English Test atau lebih dikenali dengan singkatan (MUET) mula
diperkenalkan dalam sistem pendidikan di Malaysia pada tahun 1999 dan
peperiksaan ini dikendalikan oleh Malaysian Examinations Council atau Majlis
Peperiksaan Malaysia (MPM). MUET diperkenalkan untuk mengukur tahap
penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris calon-calon institusi pengajian tinggi dan juga buat
mereka yang bercadang untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke institusi pengajian tinggi di
Malaysia. Peperiksaan MUET ini wajib diambil oleh mereka yang ingin melanjutkan
pengajian di peringkat ijazah pertama (Degree) di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi awam
(IPTA) tempatan.
Bermula pada tahun 2012, ujian peperiksaan MUET ini akan dijalankan sebanyak tiga
(3) kali setahun dan dijangka akan berlangsung pada bulan Mac, Julai dan November
dimana tiada syarat khusus dikenakan untuk mengambil peperiksaan ini. Kadar
bayaran yuran peperiksaan MUET yang baharu berkuat kuasa tahun 2012 ialah
RM100 untuk setiap calon yang mengambil peperiksaan dimana ia merangkumi
bayaran RM40 untuk bayaran asas dan bakinya RM60 untuk bayaran matapelajaran.
Bagi calon yang bercadang untuk menyemak semula keputusan ujian peperiksaan
MUET, kadar caj yang dikenakan ialah sebanyak RM70 dimana tarikh tutup rayuan
semak semula ini ialah dua (2) minggu selepas tarikh keputusan ujian peperiksaan
MUET ini diumumkan.

Questions 1 to 7 are based on the following passage.
At a time when most industries are predicting gloomy days ahead, the country's
rubber glove manufacturers see a bright future. Global demand is expected to
remain strong, especially for medical gloves. Historically, the rubber glove industry
has been blessed with rapid growth in global demand - estimated at 8% to l 0%
per annum. The growth in demand is anticipated to continue, driven mainly by the
traditional medical market and an aging population. Malaysian glove makers are the
world's leading players, accounting for 55% to 65% of the market share. Industry
players have also begun to focus on nitride gloves as these gloves have become
more popular in hospitals due to their low protein content versus latex gloves.
A lending glove manufacturer, Mr. Lim, expects demand for medical gloves to be
stable, if not increase. "Greater emphasis will be placed on healthcare in companies’
annual budgets as no one can afford to fall sick or incur heavy medical expenses in such
times. Therefore, the medical glove industry is resilient in any economic climate,"
he
said.
Nevertheless,
he
predicted
a
slight
decrease
in
demand
for industrial and laboratory gloves from the non-medical sectors, including the
electrical and electronics and food and beverage sectors during periods of economic
slowdown which could lead to lower business activities and thus lower usage.
“while we are more prudent in terms of expression, we will focus on research and
development to offer higher value products. We aim to achieve double-digit growth
in revenue for the next two or three years. With our new plant which produces
premium grade nitride gloves scheduled to run soon, we are confident of achieving
our targeted growth,” he said.
Another lending glove company reported that the group had allocated some RM80
million for capital expenditure, which would include expansion and potential acquisitions.
"We continue to focus on producing high quality products efficiently and at a low cost.
The main challenge for the industry is the volatility of latex price, crude oil price
and also foreign exchange. As long as all these factors remain stable, it will be good
for us. As rubber gloves constitute less than 1% of the total cost of healthcare centres,
any increase in selling price deemed too insignificant to affect overall demand," he said.

Europe's population is, right now, peaking, after more than six centuries of
continuous growth. With each generation reproducing only half its number, this
looks like the start of a continent-wide collapse in numbers. Some predict wipe
out by 2100.
Half a century ago, Europe was basking in a post-war baby boom, with 2.8
babies per woman in Britain, 2.9 in France, and 3.2 in the Netherlands.
Then,
levels sank back. Demographers assumed that fertility would settle down at about
the level required to maintain the population - slightly more than two babies per
woman. The trouble is nobody told Europe's women
In the real world, even the swinging 60s did not see a lot of procreation.
By the mid-80s, alarm bells were ringing. "Europe is entering a demographic
winter," declared demographer Gerard-Francois Dumont. Ron Lesthaeghe at the
Free University of Brussels blamed ''post-materialistic values, in which selfdevelopment becomes the primary aim.”
A resolution at the European parliament in 1984 warned that Europe's share
of the world's population was set to halve between 1950 and 2000, and was
likely to halve again as soon as 2025. This trend, it said, "will have a decisive
effect on the significance of the role Europe will play in the world in future
decades." The twentieth century began with western Europe producing I 0 million
babies a year; by the end it couldn't manage 6 million-2 million fewer than it
needs to maintain the population in the long term. That baby famine is now
heading into a second generation; it is no longer a blip.
Demographically, Europe is living on borrowed time.
It already badly
needs foreign hands to keep its societies and economies functioning, and
should stop pretending otherwise.
Thirty years ago, 23 European countries had fertility above replacement
levels; now none docs, with only France, Iceland, Albania, Britain and Ireland
anywhere near. And last year's economic downturn threatens to depress fertility
further.
Once a country has very low fertility for a generation, it begins to run out
of young women able to gestate future generations. Germany is there already:
it has only half as many children under 1 0 as adults in their 40s. Demographer
Peter McDonald calculates that if Italy gets stuck with recent fertility levels,
and fails to top up with foreign migrants, it will lose 86% of its population by
the end of the century, falling to 8 million compared with today's 56 million.
Spain will lose 85%, Germany R3% and Greece 74%.
Jesse Ausubel, a futurologist at Rockefeller University in New York,
fears "the twilight of' the west" as Europe's population thins and ages.
But,
population historian David Reher told the journal Science in 2006 that, "As
population and tax revenues decline in Europe, urban areas could well be filled
with empty buildings and crumbling infrastructure ... surrounded by large areas
which look more like what we might see in some science-fiction movies.”

A 15-second scene for a Chinese movie, Bodyguard' and Assassins, is being shot not
on location but on an elaborate set built on the outskirts of Shanghai. As big as 10
football fields, this full-scale replica of a section of the former British colony took a
year to build, costs $5 million a fifth of the film's budget and includes the facades
of about 200 shops.
It also symbolizes a massive investment in the future of Chinese cinema
Grand historical sets are a staple of Chinese epics. But in the past, most of those
films were shot with international money for an international audience. Bodyguards and
assassins represents a new model of Chinese filmmaking. It has 100 per cent Chinese
financing - half private and half public - and is being shot primarily for a Chinese
audience. In the past, the size of the mainland Chinese market alone would not have
supported such a big-budget film. But in the last couple of years the Chinese market
has exploded, and for the first time films are being produced for just that audience.
The
Foreign sales are no longer the biggest slice of the pie in terms of recoup.
majority of the investments, if not all, can be recouped with the projected revenue
of the Chinese market alone.
Compared with Hollywood or even Hollywood, the Chinese film industry is
still in its infancy. Private companies have been allowed to film independently only
since 2002, and private-equity players began to invest in the industry just in
2007. But with a domestic box office that ballooned from $117 million five years
ago to $630 million in 2008, it is becoming easier for Chinese films to attract private
domestic capital. They got a boost from international blockbusters as well as
acclaimed local films. Total box-office revenues for 2009 reached $800 million. That
is still a long way from the $9.8 billion the U.S. box office earned in 2008, but mainland
China so far has only 4100 movie screens, compared with 38 834 in the United States.
The race is now on. New movie theaters are opening every week, increasingly in
smaller cities. Dadi Cinemas Co., a Hong Kong-based firm that started building
cinemas on the mainland less than three years ago, will have 300 screens by the end of
the year; Dadi's chairman, John Sham, says the company's objective is to build
1500 screens within the next five years. Dadi's strategy has been to concentrate on
second-tier cities, where are often no movie theaters, and to keep ticket prices at a
quarter to a third of those for cinemas in larger cities.
Five years ago, Chinese filmmakers had to go to Hong Kong producers to
finance their films, since those people controlled the distribution pipeline outside
China, where a big-budget film would have to show to recoup its money. Though
they are still looking to Hong Kong firms for their expertise, Chinese production
house are increasingly in the driver’s seat.
But for all the rising box-office revenues, Chinese cinema has yet to mine a key
stream of potential riches: spin-offs. In Hollywood, box-office receipts account for just
30 per cent of a film’s revenues, with the rest coming from television rights, DVD sales,
and merchandising.
"Residual income outside box-office receipts is very low in
China - no more than 20 per cent - because television is still a monopoly, there is no
video-on-demand platform, and DVD piracy is still a very big issue,” says Sham.
“There is a lot of room for residual income to grow.” China prove with its Olympic mascots
that it can fully capitalize on merchandising. It won't be long before filmmakers
figure out how to turn their work into millions of sword-fighting action figures.

When Kellogg introduced breakfast cereal to India 14 years ago, it underestimated
the tradition of cooked breakfasts. The few customers for cornflakes ate them with
hot milk, because until recently milk was rarely pasteurized in India, and they were
disappointed by the soggy results.
Kellogg responded with an extensive advertising campaign and, to adapt
to local tastes, introduced products like Basmati rice flakes and mango-flavored
cereal. To entice customers, the company also produced small packs that sold for
10 rupees, or 25 U.S. cents. "It would be foolhardy for me to say Kellogg has
replaced cooked breakfast. I don't think we can ever hope for that. But we've
become a part of the consideration set tor breakfast in many Indian homes, and
that's a tipping point," said Anupam Dutta, the managing director of Kellogg India.
Getting a foothold in India's processed-food market, estimated to be worth
$90 billion, requires persistence and a willingness to adapt products to food and
cultural preferences.
Rising incomes, more working women, modern stores and
greater culinary choices are helping companies like PepsiCo, Nestle, Unilever and
McDonald's get a piece of the market. Adaptation appears to be essential for success
in the sector. PepsiCo for example, has produced strong sales from ethnic salty snacks
and sells aam panna, or green mango nectar, along with its colas.
Nestle promoted Milkmaid, a condensed milk, as being ideal for traditional
Indian sweets. But it had better results with Maggi noodles, a bold step in a country
divided between eaters of rice and roti, a flat wheat bread. Maggi soon became a
staple in school lunch boxes, helped by masala, or mixed spices. Nestle recently
introduced packaged yogurt, competing with another time-honoured Indian
tradition. A few years ago, Indian and foreign companies struggled to sell packaged
foods. But now it is much easier to break into the Indian market because of a
younger population, higher incomes, new technologies and a growing middle class,
estimated at 50 million households.
Hemant Kalbag of A.T. Kearney, a consulting company, estimates that
processed foods will grow at 15 per cent annually over the next four years. "We
have a young population with higher disposable incomes, living away from the
large joint families and seeking greater convenience. The market is constantly
evolving and creating demand for products that you never thought would have had a
chance. Increasingly, Indian consumption patterns are mirroring global trends such
as a preference for protein and for functional foods," said Kalbag.
McDonald's which is doubling its outlets in India to nearly 300 this year, does
not sell beef products in the country. Half its menu is vegetarian, with popular
offerings like the McAloo Tikki Burger, which is essentially a potato patty. The
company also has more sit-down restaurants for large Indian families and home
delivery, a first.
Indian companies are imitating these fast-food rivals to attract young
customers. For instance, Jumbo King, an Indian fast-food chain, is mass producing
vada pav, a spiced potato patty in a bun, using modified cookie-dough machines
and temperature-controlled stoves. Their inspiration is clearly McDonald's.
Despite the opportunity, there are longstanding hurdles. Cumbersome tax
rules give an advantage to smaller local companies. And the refrigerated system of
transportation and storage is inadequate. Problems in this cold chain result in waste
of nearly 40 per cent of all fresh produce. There is a need for stronger legislation

on food safety, more robust supply chains and improvements in the cold chain.
The government and modern retailers are addressing these issues with new laws on
packaging and labeling, as well as greater investment in the supply chain.

Rosette Babkian knew that something was seriously wrong. She had woken up
with a burning discomfort in her chest and an upset stomach and vomited soon after
she got to work. Her doctor called an ambulance and before she knew it, the 43year-old Sydney mother of three was in the emergency unit. For the next seven
hours, hospital staff ran a battery of tests, but couldn't find the problem. "They
kept on giving me Mylanta. They thought it was a stomach ulcer or a bit of this
or a bit of that," says Rosette. By late at1ernoon, a cardiologist was finally called
and diagnosed what the other staff had missed: Rosette had suffered a heart attack.
Amazingly, her story is not an unusual one. Men and women often present
different sets of symptoms when they experience heart attacks. Yet, because
hospital protocols - the way staff are trained to react and subsequently act - are
typically based on the symptoms that men present, women are ot1en misdiagnosed,
wait longer for correct treatment or may even be sent home untreated.
Men and women are not the same. That is hardly an earth-shattering
revelation. Yet traditionally, women have been viewed by the medical profession
as simply smaller versions of men. Now, however, scientists are revealing how wrongand dangerous- that assumption really is. Researchers are uncovering tiny biological
differences at every level - from the cells up- which influence the way men and
women experience disease and how they need to be treated for it.
"Men and women share more than 99 per cent of their genetic material
But sometimes the small genetic differences result in dramatic differences as far as
diagnosis and treatment go," says Dr Susan Philips of Queen's University in
Ontario, Canada.
For example, researchers now know that men and women metabolize drugs in
different ways- the balance of hormones and distribution of body fat play a part in
determining how the chemicals are stored and used. Women’s brains are more “plastic”
than men's, meaning they recover more easily from strokes. And men's bodies respond
to certain types of pain in different ways from women's bodies and may need different
treatment for it.
That is not all. As well as the way our bodies are put together, our gender
also affects our health outcomes, thanks to the way in which society shapes us as
men and women. Women are more likely to see their doctor and take care of their health.
Men, on the other hand, generally do not visit the doctor until their disease has
progressed further, so they are more likely to die from it. Men also suffer higher
rates of accident and injury, including suicide. Yet much of the evidence on which
medicine is based does not take gender differences into account.
Unfortunately, that is what happened to Rosette Babkian. Her heart attack
symptoms foil into a definition of "atypical" symptoms which are based on male
experience.
As a result of the delay in her treatment, she suffered permanent
damage to her heart muscle.
Why is this happening? Around the world, more clinical trials have been
carried out on young white men. It is more complicated for researchers to include
women, because they have had to factor in complexities such as fluctuating hormone
levels through menstruation or menopause. In addition, drug companies are wary of
testing their new products on women who might be pregnant.

There is also the question of how medical studies are funded, “the more
homogeneous the group, the more rapidly you can explore the question you're
asking," explains Dr Jo Wainer, director of the Gender and Medicine Research
Unit at Monash University. "As soon as you introduce confounders like sex and
ethnicity, the more complicated the study is and the more expensive it becomes.”
However, it is not just women who have missed out on important research. One
in eight cases of osteoporosis involves a male, but little research has been done into
the disease in men: the evidence on which their treatment is based is extrapolated
from studies on women. It is the same for reproductive medicine: there is not
even a male equivalent to the discipline of gynecology.
Ten years ago, the US National Institute of Health made it a prerequisite for
government funding that if the research is on health issues that affect both men and
women, both sexes must be included in trials and the data analyzed for any gender
differences. As well as changing the way research is conducted, it is also important to
consider gender when it comes to the way doctors are trained and health services are
delivered, Dr Wainer says.

Man has changed the landscape and the atmosphere. It would be odd if the seas,
which he has for centuries used for food, for transport, for dumping rubbish and,
more recently, for recreation, had not also been affected. Man has brought about a
hotter atmosphere and warmer seas.
Melting sea ice affects ecosystems and currents. It does not affect sea levels,
5 because floating ice is already displacing water of a weight equal to its own. But
melting glaciers and ice sheets on land are bringing quantities of fresh water into
the sea, whose level has been rising at an average of nearly 2 millimeters a year
for over 40 years, and the pace is getting faster. Recent studies suggest that the sea
level may well rise by a total of 80 centimeters this century, though the figure could
10 plausibly be as much as 2 meters.

The burning over the past 100 years or so of fossil fuels that took half a billion
years to form has suddenly, in geological terms, released an enormous amount
of carbon dioxide (CO,) into the atmosphere. About a third of this C02 is taken
up by the sea, where it forms carbonic acid. The plants and animals that have
15 evolved over time to thrive in slightly alkaline surface waters-their pH is around
8.3 - are now having to adapt to a 30 per cent increase in the acidity of their
surroundings. Some will no doubt flourish, but if the trend continues, as it will for
at least some decades, clams, mussels, conches and all creatures that grow
shells made of calcium carbonate will struggle. So will corals, especially those 20
whose skeletons are composed of aragonite, a particularly unstable form of calcium
carbonate.
4
Man’s interference does not stop with CO2. Knowingly and deliberately, he
throws plenty of rubbish and toxic waste into the sea. Inadvertently, he also lets
flame retardants, bunker oil and heavy metals seep into the mighty ocean, and often
invasive species too. Much of the harm done by such pollutants is invisible to the eye:
it shows up only in the analysis of dead polar bears or in tuna served in New York
sushi bars.
5
Increasingly, though, swimmers, sailors and even those who monitor the sea
with the help of satellites are encountering highly visible algal blooms known as red 30
tides, which have increased in frequency, number and size in recent years, notably since
man – made nitrogen fertilizers came into widespread use in the 1950s. When rainwater
contaminated with these fertilizers and other nutrients reaches the sea, an explosion of
toxic algae and bacteria takes place, killing fish, absorbing almost all the oxygen and
leaving a microbially-dominated ecosystem.
6
Each of these phenomena would be bad enough on its own, but all appear to
be linked, usually synergistically. Slaughter one species in the food web and you set
off a chain of alterations above or below. Thus, the near extinction of sea otters in the
northern Pacific led to a proliferation of sea urchins, which then laid waste an entire
kelp forest that had hitherto sustained its own ecosystem.

Whereas, misfortunes that came singly might not prove fatal, those that come
in combination often prove overwhelming. The few coral reefs that remain pristine seem able
to cope with the warming and acidification that none can escape, but most of the
reefs that have also suffered overfishing or pollution have succumbed to bleaching or
even death. Biodiversity comes with interdependence, and the shocks administered
by mankind in recent decades have been so numerous and so severe that the natural
balance of marine life is disturbed.
8
Are these changes reversible? Most scientists believe that fisheries, for instance could
be restored to health with the right policies, properly enforced.
But many of the
changes are speeding up, not slowing down. Some, such as the acidification of
50 the seas, will continue for years to come simply because of events already in
train or past. And some, such as the melting of the Arctic ice cap, may be close to
the point at which an abrupt, and perhaps irreversible, series of happenings is set in motion.
9
It is clear, in any event, that man must change his ways. A world of 6.7 billion
55 souls, set to become 9 billion by 2050, cannot afford to treat the sea as an infinite
resource.
