To use an epistemological distinction introduced by Jurgen Habermas in 1968 in his Erkenntnis und
Interesse, critical theory in literary studies is ultimately a form of hermeneutics, i.e. knowledge via interpretation to understand the meaning of human text and symbolic expressions, while critical social theory is, in contrast, a form of self-reflective knowledge involving both understanding and theoretical explanation to reduce entrapment in systems of domination or dependence, obeying the emancipatory interest in expanding the scope of autonomy and reducing the scope of domination. From this perspective, much literary critical theory, since it is focused on interpretation and explanation rather than on social transformation, would be regarded as positivistic or traditional rather than critical theory in the Kantian or Marxian sense. Critical theory in literature and the humanities in general does, either through criticizing society from some general theory of values, norms, or oughts, or trough criticizing it
in terms of its own espoused values.
21. Which of the following statements is best supported by this passage?
A. Erkenntnis und Interesse talks about critical theory
B. critical theory in literary studies and social studies is similar
C. hermeneutics is part of critical theory
D. critical social theory emphasizes transformation
E. critical theory is the root of epistemology
22. The word “via” in line 3 could best be replaced by…
A. on
B. through
C. with
D. for
E. pass
23. According to the passage, what is the use of self-reflective knowledge?
A. to decrease domination
B. to understand the text
C. to focus in interpretation
D. to criticize society
E. to create values
24. The word “espoused” in line 14 [11] is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. partner
B. supported
C. traditional
D. available
E. existed
25. Which of the following words best describes the tone of this passage?
A. argumentative
B. narrative

C. explanatory

D. imaginative
E. humorous

English Test for UMPTN-SPMB 2000 - Reading 1

here you can learn about English test UMPTN that was held in 2000, the firs reading problem is about nuclear power and radioactive

Text I

There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by nuclear power. The radioactive material must travel from its place of manufacture at the power station. Although the power stations themselves are solidly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. There are normally only two methods of transport available, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these involve close contact with the general public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.

Next, there is the problem of waste. Allnuclear power stations produce wastes that in mostcases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non radioactive,and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenientways that scientists have in vented. For example they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into
abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an

Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two hazards, this is not every likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen.

Separately, these there types of risks are not a great cause for concern. On the whole though, the
probability of disaster is still high. earthquake could easily crack the containers open.

English Test for UMPTN-SPMB 1999 - Text 1-3

here is the text and question for SPMB-UMPTN 1999

Text1

In almost all developing countries, the lack of adequate supplies of cheap, convenient and reliable fuel is a major problem. Rural communities depend” largely on kerosene, wood and dung for their cooking and lighting needs. But kerosene is now priced out of reach of any people and wood, except in heavily forested areas, is in short supply. The search for firewood occupies a large part of the working day and has resulted in widespread deforestation.

Dung is in constant supply wherever there are farm animals and, when dried, it is convenient to store and use. But burning dung destroys its value as fertilizer, thus depriving the soil of a much needed source of humus and nitrogen.

Rural areas of developing countries are also plagued by a lack of adequate sanitation. Improper waste disposal spreads disease, contaminates water sources and provides breeding grounds for disease carrying insects.

The problems of improving environmental hygiene, conserving resources, and finding alternative sources of fuel, may be unrelated. Their solutions, however, are not, as many countries experimenting with biogas technology are discovering. Biogas, a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, is produced by the fermentation of organic matter. The process of anaerobic fermentation is a natural one, occurring whenever living matter decomposes. By keeping the matter and the process in a digester of biogas plant, the combustible gas can be trapped and used as fuel for household lighting and cooking. The digested slurry that remains can be used on the land as a soil conditioner arid fertilizer.

Hurricanes generally occur in the North Atlantic from may through November, with the peak of the hurricane season in September; only rarely will they occur from December through April in that part of the ocean.

Of the tropical storms that occur each year in the North Atlantic only about five, on the average, are powerful enough to be called hurricanes, To be classified as a hurricane, a tropical storm must have winds reaching speeds of at least 117 kilometers per hour, but the winds are often much stronger than that; the winds of intense hurricanes can easily surpass 240

well, and reproduce well. But if their living conditions become too crowded their behaviour patterns and even
their health change 77. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension become 78 The more crowded they are the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. 79 . for rats, population and violence are directly related.

Middle Ages in Europe. The earliest clocks were actually made by blacksmiths, the main principles in the design of these clocks, 86, are still use in mechanical clocks today, though modern clocks are much more accurate.

means bell. Before the invention of clocks, a man 88 as a clock-jack used to ring a large bell in a castle or monastery to tell everyone the time. This man was able to 89 the time by means of a sundial or a hour glass containing sand.
