Latihan Soal HOTS Reading Bahasa Inggris Ujian Nasional (UN) SMP/ MTs Tahun 2020

2 comments
Penerapan soal HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill) beberapa waktu lalu masih menyisakan perdebatan di kalangan siswa. hampir sebagian besar siswa mengeluh akan soal tipe tersebut. Soal tipe HOTS memang dikemangkan untuk mendorong dan mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi, tidak sekadar menghafal pelajaran dan pengetahuan, tapi mampu menganalisis, mensintesa, dan mencipta

Menurut Benjamin Bloom, ada tiga level kognitif kemampuan yaitu level 1 ; mengetahui (knowing-C1) dan level memahami (understanding-C2) ; level 2 : menerapkan (aplying-C3) ; dan level 3 : menganalisis (analyzing-C4), mengevaluasi (evaluating-C5), dan mengkreasi (creating-C6). Dalam hal ini, soal-soal HOTS digunakan untuk menguji kemampuan menganalisis (analyzing-C4), mengevaluasi (evaluating-C5), dan mengkreasi (creating-C6).

Menyelesaikan soal tersebut tidak hanya mengandalkan hafalan saja, akan tetapi penalaran dan pemahaman dari para siswa. Sekilas tentang soal tipe ini, jawaban tidak ada dalam teks ;bisa membutuhkan opini, pendapat atau analisis mengenai pernyataan dalam soal. HOTS merupakan konsep kecakapan berpikir yang dikembangkan berdasar model taksonomi Bloom. Siswa mesti memiliki kemampuan berpikir orde tinggi untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang kompleks, berpikir kritis dan rasional.

Menghadapi ujian nasional SMP mendatang berikut ini sudah saya kumpulkan beberapa soal bertipe HOTS. Semoga bisa membantu adik- adik dalam belajar menyelesaikan soal model ini.

Subject            : My New City

 Hi, Bim
How is it going? I hope you’ll be fine. Here, I’d like to tell you about my new city. Frankly, San Francisco is my favorite city in the United States. It is beautiful, clean, not too big, and it has something for everybody. I love the streets and buildings in San Francisco. The streets wind up and down the hills, with beautiful old brick and wooden houses on either side.
And you know what? One of my favorite things to do in San Francisco is to ride the cable car. It takes me to most parts of the city. It’s not a very comfortable ride, but it’s exciting and the views I get from the car are wonderful. And I like the weather in San Francisco. It never gets too cold or too hot. The summers are pleasant. The fresh breezes blow off the ocean and the sky is always blue. It rains quite a lot in the winter, but it never gets very cold.
Another thing I enjoy about the city is the restaurants. The seafood restaurants, with crabs and lobster, are my favorites. I can also get great Chinese, Japanese, American and European food in San Francisco.
Well, that’s my entire story about my new city. If you are interested in coming to my city, please tell me as soon as possible. I will prepare the comfortable place for you. Okay, see you at my city.

 Your best friend,
Jojo

Hi Marta!

Well, I’m back! I had a great time in Borneo with my cousins. It was really fascinating moment. What about Borneo? By the way, the place was interesting, but I don’t think we spent enough time there.
When we had a plan to go to the village through the river, there were too many people for the long boat, so we travelled there by a bus. The village was fantastic. I loved the house in which we would spend the night, but there weren’t enough rooms for all of us to sleep there, so we decided to sleep in the tents.
The first night was absolutely great since we made an opened area party with some villagers, but I ate too much spicy food, and so I felt ill in the next morning! The second night there was jungle trek-lots of interesting things there, but not enough time to see everything. Anyway, I’ll see you next weekend and show you all my photos. See you then.

Love,

Riyani

When I was 8 years old, I used to go for music class two blocks away from home. Whenever I had to pay fees to the music class, my grandpa would accompany me so that he could hand over the money safely.
One day my grandpa gave me the fees (100 rupees I guess) and asked me to take it carefully as he could not come. I was scared that I would lose the money. I kept it in my notebook. While walking I looked at it every few seconds to make sure that it was there. To my surprise, when I opened the book half way to the class, the money wasn't there! I didn't know how I lost it.
I came back all the way searching for it and couldn't find it. I was running here and there which made a dog mad and it started chasing me. I ran home crazily. When I reached home, I was panting and crying terribly. I was still in shock that when my grandparents asked me what happened, I just said "Dog... Dog". They thought a dog actually bit me and were very tense. When the situation settled down, I told them what had happened. I was relieved because they did not scold me for losing the money.

Millions of bison once thundered across North America. These massive animals, characterized by their long, shaggy brow coats, have poor eyesight but acute hearing and an excellent sense of smell.
Historically, the American bison played an essential role in shaping the ecology of the Great Plains. They graze heavily on native grasses and disturb the soil with their hooves, allowing many plant and species to flourish.
A bison’s thick fur offers great protection against the harsh elements of the American plains. Their winter coat is so thick and well insulated that snow can cover their backs without melting.
Bison are adapted to the extreme weather conditions of the Great Plains, from summer heat to winter cold and blizzards. In winter, bison can dig through deep snow with their heads to reach the vegetation below.
Bison often rub, roll, and wallow. Wallowing creates a saucer-like depression in the earth called a wallow. This was once a common feature of the plains; usually these wallows are dust bowls without any vegetation.
Bulls and cows do not mingle until breeding session. Dominant bull “tend” to cows, following the cow until the cow chooses to mate. During this period, the blocks the cow’s vision so that she may not see other competing bulls, and bellows at males striving for the cow’s attention.

29. Why does bison dig through deep snow?
A. To find vegetation beneath it in order to feed
B. To make a place for bison to wallow
C. To block the cow’s vision during the breeding session

30. We know from the text that …
A. bison’s thick fur cannot protect them from the harsh elements

A hurricane is an intense, rotating oceanic weather system that has maximum continued winds exceeding 119 km/hr (74 mph). It forms and intensifies over tropical oceanic regions.
Hurricanes are generally smaller than storms in mid-latitudes, typically about 500 km (311 miles) in diameter. At the ocean’s surface, the air spirals inward in a counterclockwise direction. This cyclonic circulation becomes weaker with height, eventually turning into clockwise (anticyclonic) outflow near the top of the storm.When a hurricane hits land, it can do great damage through its strong winds, heavy rains, inland flooding, and huge waves. A powerful hurricane can kill more people and destroy more property than any other natural disaster.
Hurricanes are categorized according to the strength of their winds. It is measured by using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. A Category 1 storm has the lowest wind speeds, while a Category 5 hurricane has the strongest. These are relative terms, because lower category storms can sometimes cause greater damage than higher category storms, depending on where they strike and the particular dangers they bring.

The Ambarawa Railway Museum houses 21 antique locomotives plus two more, which are stored in the depot. These locomotives are no longer produced; even the factories that made them no longer exist. The main building of this museum is the defunct Ambarawa railway station which was built in 1873. The station covers 127,500 m2.

The oldest in this museum is a locomotive made by Hartman Chemnitz. This locomotive, with a length of 8.58 m and a width of 2.45 m, began its operation in 1891. Using wood as fuel, the steam locomotive could run 50 km/h – its maximum speed.

A special part of a visit to this museum is a trip by train from The Ambarawa Railway Museum to the defunct Bedono train station. This package tour is called Railway Mountain Tour. Why is the trip so special? Because the participants will board an antique train and the train will travel on a 4.9 kilometer-cog railway, which is the only one in the world.

Charles Dickens is much loved for his great contribution to classic English literature. He was the quintessential Victorian author. His epic stories, vivid characters and exhaustive depiction of contemporary life are unforgettable.
He was born in Portsmouth on 7 February 1812, to John and Elizabeth Dickens. The good fortune of being sent to school at the age of nine was short-lived because his father was imprisoned for bad debt. Charles was sent to work in Warren's blacking factory and endured appalling conditions as well as loneliness and despair. After three years he was returned to school, but the experience was never forgotten and became fictionalised in two of his better-known novels 'David Copperfield' and 'Great Expectations'.
Like many others, he began his literary career as a journalist. His own father became a reporter and Charles began with the journals 'The Mirror of Parliament' and 'The True Sun'. Then in 1833 he became parliamentary journalist for The Morning Chronicle. With new contacts in the press he was able to publish a series of sketches under the pseudonym 'Boz'. In April 1836, he married Catherine Hogarth. He died of a stroke in 1870. He is buried at Westminster Abbey.

Niagara Falls is the most famous water fall in the world because of its beauty and immense size. Niagara Falls is part of the Niagara River. The Niagara is a short river, just 35 miles (56 kilometers) long. It connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in eastern North America. East of the river is the United States. West of the river is Canada. About halfway between the two lakes, a sharp drop in the river makes Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls is actually two giant waterfalls and one smaller one. Goat Island, in New York state, lies between the two main falls. One big waterfall, called American Falls, is on the U.S. side of the river. American Falls has a fairly straight edge. The waterfall is 1,075 feet (328 meters) wide and 182 feet (55 meters) high. A small part of American Falls, located near Goat Island, is called Bridal Veil Falls.
The biggest of the two giant waterfalls is in Canada and is known as the Canadian Falls. It’s also called the Horseshoe Falls because of its horseshoe shape. The curved edge of the Canadian Falls measures 2,200 feet (670 meters) wide, and the water drops 187 feet (57 meters). The Canadian Falls carries nine times more water than the American Falls.
Niagara Falls is a popular tourist attraction. Millions of people come each year to watch the spectacular waterfalls. You can take a boat trip to see the falls from below. You can also watch from observation decks above or beside the falls. You can even enter the Cave of the Winds, a path that takes you to the base of Bridal Veil Falls. Visitors must wear bright-yellow rain jackets to stay dry.
Niagara Falls makes an enormous, ground-shaking roar and a huge cloud of water mist. Rainbows shine through the mist. At night, the falls are lit with colored lights, creating a brilliant display.
