Minecraft, I realised, was something I knew nothing about. It was time to


become acquainted. One evening I announced to my son my intention to
give myself a crash course in the game, interrupting his search for obsidian
to build a portal to the Nether dimension. For anyone as mystified about it
as I was, Minecraft is now one of the worlds biggest computer games, a
global phenomenon thats clocked up over 100 million registered users.

On February 13, 1997, the container ship Tokio Express was hit by a
massive wave 30km off the coast of Cornwall, UK. While 62 containers
were knocked overboard, it was the one that held nearly 4.8 million
pieces of Lego that has caused the most waves. Washed-up Lego
pieces have been found on the beaches of Cornwall ever since and,
almost 20 years later, Lego enthusiasts are still sifting through the sand
and scouring rock pools to discover some of these lost treasures.

In a strange twist of fate, many of the Lego pieces are nautically


themed. In addition to dragons and daisies, the pieces include 26,600
life jackets; 418,000 diver flippers; 13,000 red or yellow spear guns; and
4200 black octopuses. The black octopus is the most sought-after piece,
with reportedly only three emerging from the sea over the last 18 years.

Questions 16 25

Read the following article and answer the questions that follow.

As breakfast is the most important meal of the day, one group has stepped up to help the
homeless by running their soup kitchens first thing in the morning. Institut Onn Jaafar (IOJ)
launched its first morning soup kitchen JomBekpes! to serve underprivileged students and
homeless people in Chow Kit.
The morning soup kitchen idea, conceived by IOJ patron, Datuk Seri HishamuddinTun
Hussein, is a partnership between Institut Onn Jaafar (IOJ) and Yayasan Chow Kit (YCK). IOJ
Chief Executive Officer, Charles Mohan said the group felt it would count more to provide
breakfast to the less fortunate as it gives energy to start ones day. Besides, it also helps students
to perform better.
The first session saw 40 volunteers, comprising university students, IOJ and YCK staff as
well as the public. It was indeed an interesting experience to the volunteers as they had the
chance talking to the friendly homeless people.
IOJ and YCK will be holding JomBekpes! soup kitchens once a fortnight on the first
and third Wednesdays of each month from 7 a.m. outside KL Krash Pad at 346, Jalan Tuanku
Abdul Rahman. If public response and support from food sponsors are encouraging,
JomBekpes! may be carried out on weekly basis or several times a week.

[25 marks]
[Time suggested : 50 minutes ]

Questions 26 31 are based on the following passage.

1 It was to be the adventure of a lifetime. For almost two years, longtime friends
SabastianNilssen and Ludvig Feld, both 22, had been training for this two-month-long kayak
expedition. Attempting to become the first kayakers to paddle more than 1770 kilometres
through one of the worlds most remote regions.
2 The two set out on July 5, 2010. They averaged about 24 kilometers a day, and by the 5
end of July, they had reached the High Artic islands. With the wind picking up and the sea
growing choppy, they decided to head for shore and camp on a beach. After pulling their
kayaks onto the rocky beach, they pitched their tent and rigged up a trip-wire perimeter almost
3 metres away, as they did at every campsite. A series of small explosives charges would go
off if an animal were to cross the wire, giving the men time to grab their rifles and scare away 10
a bear or, if necessary, shoot it.
3 As they were sound asleep, a polar bear that had picked up their scent began lumbering
towards the camp. With the wind howling, the bear burst through the trip wire, but the charge
did not fire. Sabastian awoke to a crashing sound when the bear trampled the tent and ripped it
to shreds with a mighty sweep of its paw. Bear! shouted Sabastian as he felt it lock its jaws 15
onto the back of his skull, pulling him from his sleeping bag. All he could see was a towering
mass of white fur. As the bear sank its teeth deeper into his skull, it uttered a low-pitched,
guttural growling.
4 Suddenly, the polar bear changed its hold on Sabastian and sank its teeth into his right
shoulder. Then it shook him back and forth, each time penetrating Sabastians flesh more 20
deeply with its teeth. Pain shot through his body as if an ice pick were being twisted into his
shoulder.
5 Ludvig woke up when he heard Sabastian scream and turned to see the bear inside the
tent, with Sabastians head in its jaws. While shaking him, the bear had stomped on their gear,
much of which was now crush or buried in the soft sand. Ludvig jumped up and reached for his 25

SULIT 1119/2

grandfathers World War II rifle. It was missing. He frantically clawed at the debris in front of
the tent. The bear was now dragging Sabastian by his wounded shoulder.
6 The bear dropped Sabastian some 30 meters beyond the camp. Then it raked its razor-
sharp claws over Sabastians torso. The bear put its front paws on his chest, pinning him. He
could feel his ribs cracking.Ludvig ran closer. He aimed and squeezed off a shot. Then another 30
four rounds until the bear fell over, dead at last.
7 Sabastian lay crumpled on the beach. The back of his scalp hung loose and his shoulder
was shredded. Ludvig carried him to the tent, he covered his bleeding scalp and shoulder with
bandages and wrapped him in a blanket. He knew he had to keep Sabastian warm. He punched
the number of a hospital into the satellite phone. My friend has been attacked by a polar bear. 35
Please hurry!. 35 minutes later a rescue helicopter was in the air.
8 Ludvig returned to Sabastians side who was now pale and shivering. He kept him awake
and made a hard decision to not give a dose of morphine they carried because it might knock
him out. He must not lose consciousness.
9 At the hospital, Sabastian underwent a three-hour operation during which surgeons 40
removed all the damaged tissue under his wounds. His neck was badly bruised but not broken.
The next day the doctor told him that another few millimetres and the bears teeth would have
punctured his lungs and crushed his skull. Both Sabastian and Ludvig are very grateful to be
alive.

A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend :


I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,


Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles

And it grew both day and night,


Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew it was mine,

And into my garden stole


When the night had veiled the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
