        READING TRIK JITU MENGERJAKAN SOAL TOEFL 2 DAN PEMBAHASANNYA            Madison Square Garden,a world-famous sporting venue in Newyork City,has actually been a series of buildings in varied locations rather than a single building in one spot.In 1873,P.T.Barnum built Barnum's Monster Classical and Geological Hippodrome at the corner of Madison Avenue and 26th Street,across from Madison Square Park.Two years later,bandleader Patrick Gilmore bought the property,added statues and fountains,and renamed it Gilmore's Gardens.When Cornelius Vanderbilt bought the property in 1879,it was renamed Madison Square Garden.          A second very lavish Madison Square Garden was built at the same location in 1890,with a ballroom,a restaurant,a theater,a rooftop garden,and a main arena with seating for 15000.However,this elaborate Madison Square Garden lasted only until 1924,when it was torn down to make way for a forty-story skyscraper.          When the second Madison Square Garden ha

TRIK JITU MENGERJAKAN SOAL TOEFL((STRUCTURE)

By YULI ROSA RITA -

 1.I wish I had..........so much money last month.

a.spend

b.spending

c.to spend

d.spent

Bila dalam kalimat wish terdapat kata had maka harus diikuti past participle sehingga terbentuk past perfect guna menginformasikan adanya suatu penyesalan atas peristiwa di masa lampau.Jadi,jawaban yang benar adalah spent.

pattern:

s+wish+(that)+s+past perfect/could have+(verb in past participle)

note:that bisa dihilangkan.

2.If a university is only offering its students resources of a decade ago,it........those students of a tremendous amount of information.

a.is depriving

b.was depriving

c.would depriving

d.would have deprived

If-clause menggunakan bentuk present sehingga dapat dipastikan kalimat di samping merupakan tipe 1 Jadi jawabanya is depriving.

Pattern:

CONDITIONAL SENTENCE TYPE 1

-If+S.Pr+S.F

-If+present tense-present

-If+S.Pr+S.Pr

-If+S.Pr+may/can

3...........seems to me that only our parents,who will spend their whole life with us and will be our best teachers.

a.He

b.She

c.It

d.Its

Subjek yang tepat untuk mengawali ungkapan/pernyataan di samping adalah it.Selain kata kerja seems mengindikasikan subjek tunggal,seems to me that juga merupakan penghantar sebuah pernyataan yang lazim diawali it.

4.Before I came out from......I didn't even think of such fundamental things.

a.hometown

b.hometowns

c.the hometowns

d.my hometown

Hometown merupakan countable noun yang apabila mengacu pada bentuk tunggal dia tidak berdiri sendiri dan lebih tepat disertai artikel atau pronoun.Mengapa tidak hometowns?Secara konteks,sulit dibayangkan jika seseorang memiliki lebih dari satu tempat asal usul.Jadi,jawaban yang tepat adalah my hometown.

5.The new sense of freedom and independence a young man can experience........

a.someone

b.you

c.and me

d.or think

Experience dalam kalimat ini merupakan kata kerja intransitif sehingga tidak memerlukan objek.Untuk melengkapi kalimat ini dapat digunakan kata kerja lain sebagai suatu alternatif pilihan aksi-yaitu or thinks.

6.Either Jane or Matt.....going to visit next weekend.

a.does

b.has

c.is

d.are

Seperti pada soal sebelumnya,either-or dapat mengandung maksud,salah satu dari keduanya.Namun,karena pada kalimat ini,subjek kedua yang digunakan adalah berjenis tunggal maka kata kerja yang sesuai harus dalam bentuk tunggal dan tepat untuk diikuti oleh going(be+ving).Jadi jawabannya adalah is.

7.The level of poverty is increasing but the government doesn't know the reason why.

a.the why

b.why

c.reason why

d.why the reason

The reason why merupakan redundansi yang seharusnya dihilangkan.Untuk mendapatkan kalimat yang baik maka salah satu kata harus dihilangkan.Reason=alasan dan why=mengapa(menanyakan alasan).Jadi,sebaliknya gunakan the reason saja atau why saja.

8.Many Chinese students are now......in the U.S.

a.study

b.studies

c.studying

d.studied

In the U.S adalah keterangan tempat sehingga kalimat ini tidak memiliki objek.Maka,kata dalam kalimat ini berjenis intransitif.Are now menandakan peristiwa sedang terjadi dan kalimat harus menggunakan bentuk present continuous-are now studying.

9.The discussed....the experiments again.

a.running

b.to run

c.run

d.ran

Seperti halnya dengan kata appreciated,kata discussed hanya dapat diikuti oleh gerund(v-ing).Maka,kata yang tepat untuk melengkapikalimat ini adalah running.

10.I want to go home,but I don't the way.The wish sentence is....

a.I wish I knew the way home.

b.I wish I had known the way home.

c.I wish I know the way home.

d.I wish I have known the way home.

Kalimat di samping menggunakan bentuk present.Artinya,menceritakan kejadian di masa sekarang.Jika diubah dalam bentuk wish maka setelah wish diikuti oleh past simple.Jadi,jawaban yang benar adalah I wish I knew the way home.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for existing train stations and bridges.In 1863,after spending time working as

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
