Latihan Soal Tes Akademik Bintara TNI dan POLRI Tahun 2023 Materi Tes
Bahasa Inggris
The following text is for questions number 1 to 3
Born in Purbalingga, Dutch East Indies, Sudirman moved to Cilacap in
1916 and was raised by his uncle. A diligent student at a
Muhammadiyah-run school, he became respected within the community for
his devotion to Islam. After dropping out of teacher's college, in 1936
he began working as a teacher, and later headmaster, at a
Muhammadiyah-run elementary school. After the Japanese occupied the
Indies in 1942, Sudirman continued to teach, before joining the
Japanese-sponsored Defenders of the Homeland as a battalion commander in
Banyumas in 1944.
After Indonesia proclaimed its independence on 17 August 1945, Sudirman
led a break-out then went to Jakarta to meet President Sukarno. Tasked
with overseeing the surrender of Japanese soldiers in Banyumas, he
established a division of the People's Safety Body there. On 12 November
1945, at an election to decide the military's commander-in-chief in
Yogyakarta, Sudirman was chosen over Oerip Soemohardjo in a close vote.
While waiting to be confirmed, Sudirman ordered an assault on British
and Dutch forces in Ambarawa. The ensuing battle and British withdrawal
strengthened Sudirman's popular support, and he was ultimately confirmed
on 18 December.
He was later diagnosed with tuberculosis, which led to his right lung
being collapsed in November 1948. On 19 December 1948, several days
after Sudirman's release from the hospital, the Dutch launched an
assault on the capital. Making a headquarters at Sobo, near Mount Lawu,
Sudirman commanded military activities throughout Java, including a show
of force in Yogyakarta on 1 March 1949. When the Dutch began
withdrawing, in July 1949 Sudirman was recalled to Yogyakarta and
forbidden to fight further. In late 1949 Sudirman's tuberculosis
relapsed, and he retired to Magelang, where he died slightly more than a
month after the Dutch recognised Indonesia's independence. He is buried
at Semaki Heroes' Cemetery in Yogyakarta.

Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world. It was
built by a Muslim Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his dear wife at
Agra.
Taj Mahal is a Mausoleum that houses the grave of Queen Mumtaz Mahal.
The mausoleum is a part of a vast complex comprising of a main gateway,
an elaborate garden, a mosque (to the left), a guest house (to the
right), and several other palatial buildings. The Taj is at the farthest
end of this complex, with the river Jamuna behind it.
The Taj stands on a raised, square platform (186 x 186 feet) with its
four corners truncated, forming an unequal octagon. The architectural
design uses the interlocking arabesque concept, in which each element
stands on its own and perfectly integrates with the main structure. It
uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and a symmetry of
architectural elements.
Its central dome is fifty-eight feet in diameter and rises to a height
of 213 feet. It is flanked by four subsidiary domed chambers. The four
graceful, slender minarets are 162.5 feet each. The central domed
chamber and four adjoining chambers include many walls and panels of
Islamic decoration.
Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. Its stunning architectural
beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset.

The following text is for questions number 7 to 9
A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land. In
the sense of “flowing water”, the world may also be applied to inflow of
the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of
water, such as a river or lake, which overflows or break levees, with
the result that some of the water escapes its unusual boundaries.
While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary seasonal
changes in precipitation and show melt, it is not a significant flood
unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a
village, city, or other inhabited area.
Floods can also occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the
river channel, particularly at bends or meanders. Flood often cause
damage to homes and businesses if they are placed in natural flood
plains of rivers. While flood damage can be virtually eliminated by
moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, since time out of
mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek the sustenance
and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by
being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by
flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the
water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding.

....

The following text is for questions 10 to 12
Indonesia has embarked on the task of counting its islands in order to
better protect its territory and marine resources. It hopes to locate
and name an additional 1,700 islands in time for the UN Conference on
the Standardization of Geographical Names in August. Indonesia wants to
claim sovereignty and fishing rights in the waters surrounding the
islands, many of which its neighbours also claim.
The Indonesian government says illegal fishing in its waters is costing
billions of dollars in lost revenue each year. A fisheries spokeswoman
told the BBC: “Sixty per cent of islands in Indonesia don't have a name
or officially have legal status, so they can easily be taken or claimed
by another country.”
Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago. At the last UN conference
on geographical names in 2012, Indonesia registered 13,466 islands. A
law in 1996 estimated that the number of islands was 17,508. The UN
Convention on the Law of the Sea defines an island as, “a naturally
formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is still exposed at high
tide”.
A spokesman from Indonesia’s Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries
explained the scale of the task the counting team had. He said: “We have
to visit every one of these islands, and then we note the coordinates,
the name, the meaning of the name, and the history of the land and
describe the landscape and its geographical history, all that in great
detail.”

islands which either has name or legal status
