Grasshopper

Grasshoppers are insects. People also call them short-horned grasshopper because they do not have any nose. We can find about 10,000 different species in many different parts of the world.

Like most insects, they lay eggs. Once the eggs hatch, they change into nymphs. They look like little adults, but don't have any wings and reproductive organs. The outer layer of their body will get harder when they grow older. Grasshoppers' colours are mostly green, brown, or olive-green.

A grasshopper's body is covered by a hard exoskeleton. It consists of the head, thorax, and abdomen. Grasshoppers have a series of holes located along the side of the body. They are called spiracles. Spiracles help grasshoppers to breathe.

Grasshoppers are able to hop, walk, and fly. They hop with their long hind legs. They use their short front legs to grasp their prey and to walk. When grasshoppers rub their back legs together, they will make noise.

Grasshoppers eat plants. In the ecosystem, their predators include birds, insects, and reptiles. Grasshoppers' eggs are also eaten by some flies.

Terjemahannya:

Belalang

Tubuh belalang ditutupi oleh kerangka luar yang keras. Terdiri dari kepala, dada, dan perut. Belalang memiliki sederet lubang yang terletak di sepanjang sisi tubuh. Mereka disebut spirakel. Spirakel membantu belalang bernafas.

Belalang bisa melompat, berjalan, dan terbang. Mereka melompat dengan kaki belakangnya yang panjang. Mereka menggunakan kaki depan yang pendek untuk menangkap mangsanya dan berjalan. Saat belalang menggosok kaki belakangnya, mereka akan membuat suara.

Belalang memakan tumbuhan. Dalam ekosistem, predatornya termasuk burung, serangga, dan reptil. Telur belalang juga dimakan oleh beberapa lalat.

Landmark

Landmark is a recognizable natural or artificial feature used for navigation. This feature usually stands out from its near environment and is often visible from long distances. In modern use, the term “landmark” can also be applied to smaller structures or features becoming local or national symbols.

Landmarks are usually classified into both natural landmarks and man-made landmarks. Natural landmarks can be characteristic features, such as mountains or plateaus. Examples of natural landmarks are Table Mountain in South Africa, Uluru in Australia, and Mount Fuji in Japan. Trees might also serve as local landmarks. Some landmark trees may be nicknamed, examples being Queen’s Oak, Hanging Oak or Centennial Tree.

In modern sense, landmarks are usually referred to monuments or distinctive buildings, used as the symbol of a certain area such as the Statue of Liberty in New York City, Eiffel tower in Paris, Big Ben in London, etc.

Church spires and mosque’s minarets are often very tall and visible from many miles around. Thus, these various buildings often serve as man-made landmarks.

Terjemahannya:

Landmark

Landmark adalah fitur alami atau buatan yang dapat dikenali yang digunakan untuk navigasi. Fitur ini biasanya menonjol dari lingkungan dekatnya dan sering terlihat dari jarak jauh. Dalam penggunaan modern, istilah "tengara" juga dapat diterapkan pada bangunan atau fitur yang lebih kecil yang menjadi simbol lokal atau nasional.

Landmark biasanya diklasifikasikan menjadi landmark alam dan landmark buatan manusia. Landmark alam dapat berupa ciri khas, seperti pegunungan atau dataran tinggi. Contoh landmark alam adalah Gunung Meja di Afrika Selatan, Uluru di Australia, dan Gunung Fuji di Jepang. Pohon mungkin juga berfungsi sebagai landmark lokal. Beberapa pohon tengara dapat diberi julukan, contohnya adalah Queen's Oak, Hanging Oak atau Centennial Tree.

Dalam pengertian modern, landmark biasanya disebut monumen atau bangunan khas, digunakan sebagai lambang suatu daerah tertentu seperti Patung Liberty di New York City, menara Eiffel di Paris, Big Ben di London, dll.

Menara gereja dan menara masjid seringkali sangat tinggi dan terlihat dari jarak bermil-mil. Karenanya, berbagai bangunan ini sering dijadikan landmark buatan manusia.

Chameleons

Chameleons are mostly found in in Africa's, southern Sahara desert. There are around various types of this species in the world. The common chameleon ranges from the Middle East, along the northern African coast to southern Spain.

This slow-moving lizard hunts insects, its prey. They eat insects among trees and undergrowth. One of its special features is its eyes. Both of its eyes are set in two conical sockets. They can move independently of one another. This enables chameleons to see in front with one eye and behind with the other.

Chameleons are popular due to their ability to change their colour. A chameleon can change and match its skin colour with the surroundings in order to disguise itself and is difficult to spot among foliage. This is why we say a chameleon 'camouflages' itself.

When there is a fine insect flying around it, it shoots out a long, sticky tongue to its target and draws the insect back into its mouth.

The following text is for questions 67 to 71.

The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth. The Moon is the second brightest object in the Earth's sky after the Sun. The natural satellites of the other planets in the solar system are also sometimes referred to as moons.

The Earth's Moon is now known to be a slightly egg-shaped ball composed mostly of rock and metal. It has no liquid water, virtually no atmosphere and is lifeless. The Moon shines by reflecting the light of the Sun. Although the Moon appears bright to the eye, it reflects on average only 12 percent of the light that falls on it. This reflectivity of 0.12 is similar to that of coal dust. This reflectivity is called albedo.

The temperatures on most of the Moon's surface are too extreme for water or ice to exist, ranging from a maximum of 127°C (261°F) at lunar noon to a minimum of —173°C (-279°F) just before lunar dawn. Temperatures in permanently shadowed areas near the lunar poles, however, may consistently be as low as —220°C (-364°F). Comets and micrometeoroids that strike the Moon release gases that contain water. The gases would form an extremely thin atmosphere that would then migrate to the coldest regions of the poles and condense, forming ice that combines with the lunar soil.
