Read the following passage carefully and answer all questions.

Petikan A: Karya Sastera Melayu

"Matahari terbenam di ufuk barat, meninggalkan warna jingga yang membara di langit. Angin sepoi-sepoi bahasa memainkan daun-daun kelapa di tepi pantai. Pak Mat duduk di atas papan kayu yang sudah lapuk, memandang laut yang tenang dengan penuh kesyukuran. Baginya, laut ini bukan sekadar sumber rezeki, tetapi juga saksi bisu perjuangan hidupnya selama empat puluh tahun.

Anaknya, Amir, berdiri di sampingnya dengan wajah yang muram. 'Ayah, saya mahu pergi ke bandar,' katanya dengan suara yang pasti. Pak Mat tidak menjawab. Dia hanya mengangguk perlahan, seolah-olah dia sudah menjangka permintaan itu sejak lama.

'Di sana, saya boleh mendapat pekerjaan yang lebih baik. Gaji di kampung ini tidak cukup untuk menyara keluarga,' tambah Amir. Pak Mat menghela nafas panjang. Dia tahu anaknya benar, tetapi hatinya berat untuk melepaskannya pergi.

'Pergilah, Nak. Ayah doakan kau berjaya,' akhirnya Pak Mat berkata dengan suara parau. Amir memeluk ayahnya erat-erat sebelum berjalan menuju jalan raya. Pak Mat memandang ke belakang, melihat bayangannya yang semakin hilang di sebalik cahaya senja.

Malam itu, Pak Mat tidak dapat tidur. Dia teringat masa kecil Amir, ketika mereka bersama-sama memancing di laut. Kini, laut itu kelihatan lebih luas dan lebih sunyi. Dia bersendirian dengan kenangan."

Section C: Comprehension — Non-Literary Text and Summary (30 marks)

Read the following passage carefully and answer all questions.

Petikan B: Teks Bukan Sastera

"Pendidikan STEM (Sains, Teknologi, Kejuruteraan, dan Matematik) telah menjadi tumpuan utama dalam pembangunan pendidikan Malaysia sejak dekad yang lalu. Menurut Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia, pelaburan dalam pendidikan STEM telah meningkat sebanyak 35% dalam tempoh lima tahun antara 2018 dan 2023. Peningkatan ini mencerminkan komitmen kerajaan untuk melahirkan generasi yang berdaya saing dalam era Revolusi Industri 4.0.

Salah satu inisiatif utama ialah program 'STEM for All' yang dilancarkan pada tahun 2020. Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan minat pelajar terhadap bidang STEM melalui aktiviti praktikal dan pembelajaran berasaskan projek. Sehingga kini, lebih daripada 500,000 pelajar dari 2,000 sekolah telah menyertai program ini. Data menunjukkan bahawa pelajar yang terlibat dalam program ini menunjukkan peningkatan purata 25% dalam pencapaian matematik dan sains.

Walau bagaimanapun, cabaran masih wujud. Kajian oleh Universiti Malaya mendapati bahawa 40% guru di luar bandar tidak mempunyai latihan khusus dalam pengajaran STEM. Kekurangan infrastruktur dan peralatan makmal juga menjadi halangan utama. Selain itu, jurang pencapaian antara pelajar bandar dan luar bandar masih ketara, dengan pelajar bandar mencatat pencapaian 30% lebih tinggi dalam peperiksaan STEM.

Untuk mengatasi cabaran ini, kerajaan telah memperuntukkan tambahan RM500 juta dalam Bajet 2024 untuk meningkatkan infrastruktur STEM di sekolah luar bandar. Program latihan guru secara dalam talian juga telah diperkenalkan untuk memastikan guru-guru di kawasan terpencil dapat mengakses bahan pengajaran terkini. Pakar pendidikan berpendakat bahawa kerjasama antara sektor awam dan swasta adalah penting untuk memastikan kelestarian program STEM dalam jangka panjang.

Kesimpulannya, walaupun pencapaian dalam pendidikan STEM adalah menggalakkan, usaha berterusan diperlukan untuk memastikan semua pelajar, tanpa mengira lokasi geografi, mempunyai akses yang sama kepada pendidikan STEM yang berkualiti."

Questions 14–20

14. According to the passage, what does the acronym STEM stand for?

___________________________________________________________________________ [1]

15. What is the main purpose of the 'STEM for All' programme?

___________________________________________________________________________ [2]

16. Based on the data in the passage, calculate the number of schools involved in the 'STEM for All' programme if there are 500,000 students and the average number of students per school is 250.

___________________________________________________________________________ [2]

17. Identify three challenges faced in implementing STEM education in rural areas, according to the passage.

___________________________________________________________________________ [3]

18. What measures has the government taken to address the challenges mentioned in the passage? Give two examples.

TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper — Answer Key

Malay Language and Literature H2 A-Level

Practice Paper — Language Use & Comprehension (Version 3 of 5)

Section A: Language Use (30 marks)

Question 1 — Grammar Transformation [10 marks]

(a) Buku itu dibaca oleh pelajar itu di perpustakaan semalam. [2]

Method: The active subject ("Pelajar itu") becomes the agent introduced by "oleh," and the verb "membaca" changes to its passive form "dibaca." The object ("buku itu") becomes the new subject.
Marking: 1 mark for correct passive verb form; 1 mark for correct sentence structure.

(b) Dia tidak datang ke sekolah disebabkan dia sakit. [2]

Method: The conjunction "kerana" is replaced with "disebabkan." Note that "disebabkan" is followed by a noun or noun clause; "disebabkan oleh penyakitnya" is also acceptable.
Marking: 1 mark for correct use of "disebabkan"; 1 mark for grammatical correctness.

(c) Adik yang menangis dibelikan gula-gula oleh ibu. [2]

Method: The relative pronoun "yang" connects the two clauses, with "adik" as the shared subject. The second clause is restructured so that "ibu" becomes the agent.
Marking: 1 mark for correct use of "yang"; 1 mark for coherent combined sentence.

(d) Kami telah mengadakan majlis itu pada hari Jumaat. [2]

Method: "Akan" (future marker) is replaced with "telah" (past marker) to indicate completed action.
Marking: 1 mark for correct past tense marker; 1 mark for unchanged meaning.

(v) mendadak — sudden movement (Note: "perlahan-lahan" could also fit here contextually for walking slowly due to injury; however, given the word bank, "mendadak" is the remaining word. The intended answer is perlahan-lahan for (v) and berterusan for (i), with mendadak fitting (iv) as sudden entry. Correction: (iv) mendadak — the teacher suddenly entered; (v) perlahan-lahan — walking slowly due to injury.)

Revised answers:

(i) berterusan [1]

"Angin sepoi-sepoi bahasa memainkan daun-daun kelapa di tepi pantai" — indicates a beachside location with coconut trees.

Marking: 1 mark for identifying the setting; 2 marks for two supporting details (1 mark each).

Question 5 — "Saksi bisu perjuangan hidupnya" [3 marks]

Answer: The phrase suggests that the sea has witnessed Pak Mat's life struggles silently over the years. It personifies the sea as a silent observer of his hardships, joys, and daily life as a fisherman. The sea is not just a workplace but a companion that has been present throughout his 40 years of struggle.

Marking: 1 mark for identifying the personification; 1 mark for explaining the sea as witness; 1 mark for connecting it to Pak Mat's life journey.

Question 6 — Amir's Reasons [3 marks]

Answer: Amir wants to go to the city because:

He can get a better job ("saya boleh mendapat pekerjaan yang lebih baik").
The salary in the village is insufficient to support his family ("Gaji di kampung ini tidak cukup untuk menyara keluarga").

Marking: 1 mark for identifying the desire for better employment; 1 mark for the insufficient income reason; 1 mark for clear reference to the text.

Question 7 — "Mengangguk perlahan" [3 marks]

Answer: Pak Mat's slow nod reveals that he expected this request and has perhaps been preparing himself emotionally for it. It shows a mixture of resignation, acceptance, and sadness. He is not surprised, which suggests he understands his son's reasons, but the slowness of the nod indicates his reluctance and inner conflict about letting his son go.

Marking: 1 mark for identifying the element of expectation; 1 mark for the mixed emotions; 1 mark for explaining the significance of the slow movement.

Question 8 — Phrase Meaning [2 marks]

(a) "Suara yang pasti" — A firm, determined, and resolute voice. It shows that Amir has made up his mind and is confident about his decision. [1]

(b) "Suara parau" — A hoarse, cracked voice, typically caused by emotion (sadness or suppressed tears). It reveals Pak Mat's deep emotional struggle as he tries to speak while holding back his feelings. [1]

Question 9 — Imagery [4 marks]

Answer: The author uses visual and auditory imagery to convey a melancholic, reflective, and bittersweet mood.

Example 1 (Visual): "warna jingga yang membara di languk" — The vivid image of a burning orange sky creates a sense of beauty tinged with endings, mirroring the theme of departure and change.

Example 2 (Auditory/Tactile): "Angin sepoi-sepoi bahasa memainkan daun-daun kelapa" — The gentle breeze playing with coconut leaves creates a peaceful yet lonely atmosphere, emphasizing the quiet sadness of the moment.

Example 3 (Visual): "bayangannya yang semakin hilang di sebalik cahaya senja" — The fading figure against the twilight light symbolizes loss and the passage of time, reinforcing the theme of separation.

Marking: 2 marks for identifying two examples; 2 marks for explaining how each contributes to the mood (1 mark per explanation).

Question 10 — Theme [4 marks]

Answer: The main theme of the passage is the sacrifice and emotional cost of pursuing a better life, particularly the separation between parent and child due to economic necessity. It also explores the passage of time and the inevitability of change.

Supporting evidence:

Amir's decision to leave reflects the economic pressures that force young people to migrate from rural areas.
Pak Mat's silence and suppressed emotions show the unspoken love and sacrifice of a parent.
The imagery of the setting sun and fading figure symbolize endings and transitions.
Pak Mat's memories of fishing with young Amir contrast with his present loneliness, highlighting the pain of change.

Marking: 1 mark for identifying the theme; 3 marks for explanation with textual evidence (1 mark per well-developed point, up to 3).

Question 11 — Pak Mat's Feelings at the End [3 marks]

Answer: At the end of the passage, Pak Mat feels lonely, nostalgic, and melancholic. He cannot sleep, indicating inner turmoil. His memories of Amir's childhood show longing for the past. The description of the sea as "lebih luas dan lebih sunyi" (wider and quieter) reflects his sense of emptiness and isolation after his son's departure.

Evidence:

"Pak Mat tidak dapat tidur" — restlessness and worry.
"teringat masa kecil Amir" — nostalgia.
"laut itu kelihatan lebih luas dan lebih sunyi" — the sea mirrors his inner emptiness.

Marking: 1 mark for identifying the emotions; 2 marks for supporting evidence from the text.

Question 12 — "Laut itu kelihatan lebih luas dan lebih sunyi" [3 marks]

Answer: This phrase is metaphorical. The sea appears "wider and quieter" not because it has physically changed, but because Pak Mat feels more alone and vulnerable after Amir's departure. The vastness of the sea now reflects the emptiness in his life, and the silence represents the absence of his son's presence. It is a projection of his inner emotional state onto the natural environment.

Marking: 1 mark for identifying the metaphorical meaning; 1 mark for explaining the emotional projection; 1 mark for connecting it to the theme of loneliness.

Question 13 — Personal Response [2 marks]

Model answer: "Ayah, terima kasih atas segala pengorbanan ayah. Saya berjanji akan menghubungi ayah setiap minggu dan pulang semasa cuti. Jangan risau, saya akan menjaga diri."

Marking: 1 mark for showing understanding of Pak Mat's feelings; 1 mark for appropriate tone and content that reflects the context of the passage.

Section C: Comprehension — Non-Literary Text and Summary (30 marks)

Question 14 — STEM Acronym [1 mark]

Answer: Sains, Teknologi, Kejuruteraan, dan Matematik (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). [1]

Question 15 — Purpose of 'STEM for All' [2 marks]

Answer: The main purpose of the 'STEM for All' programme is to increase students' interest in STEM fields through practical activities and project-based learning. It was launched in 2020 and has involved over 500,000 students from 2,000 schools.

Marking: 1 mark for identifying the aim (increasing interest); 1 mark for mentioning the methods (practical activities/project-based learning).

Question 16 — Calculation [2 marks]

Answer:

Total students = 500,000
Average students per school = 250
Number of schools = 500,000 ÷ 250 = 2,000 schools

Working: $\text{Number of schools} = \frac{500{,}000}{250} = 2{,}000$

Marking: 1 mark for correct method; 1 mark for correct answer.

Question 17 — Challenges [3 marks]

Answer: Three challenges in implementing STEM education in rural areas:

40% of rural teachers lack specialized training in STEM teaching.
Insufficient infrastructure and laboratory equipment in rural schools.
Achievement gap between urban and rural students — urban students score 30% higher in STEM examinations.

Marking: 1 mark per challenge (3 marks total).

Question 18 — Government Measures [3 marks]

Answer: Two measures taken by the government:

Allocation of an additional RM500 million in Budget 2024 to improve STEM infrastructure in rural schools.
Introduction of online teacher training programmes to ensure teachers in remote areas can access up-to-date teaching materials.

Marking: 1 mark per measure; 1 mark for clear reference to the text.

Question 19 — Author's Tone [3 marks]

Answer: The author's tone is objective, informative, and cautiously optimistic.

Evidence:

The passage presents factual data (e.g., 35% increase in investment, 500,000 students) in a neutral, objective manner.
The use of "Walau bagaimanapun" (However) introduces challenges in a balanced way, not overly negative.
The conclusion ("walaupun pencapaian... menggalakkan, usaha berterusan diperlukan") shows cautious optimism — acknowledging progress while recognizing the need for continued effort.

Marking: 1 mark for identifying the tone; 2 marks for supporting evidence from the text.

Question 20 — Summary [6 marks]
