Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions that follow

A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core The thick glacier above Lake

Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface

The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area Radio waves from the survey equipment

Trang 2

penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake

The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of the potential that the lake

contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research

on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this

Question 17: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if _

Question 18: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the following?

Question 19: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it _

A may contain uncontaminated microbes B can be studied using radio waves

C may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D has already been contaminated

Question 20: The word "downside" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

Question 21: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of _

A problems with satellite-borne radar equipment B ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it

C further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica D the harsh climate of Antarctica

Question 22: The purpose of the passage is to

Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions that follow

What geologists call the Basin and Range Province in the United States roughly coincides in its northern portions with the geographic province

known as the Great Basin The Great Basin is hemmed in on the west by the Sierra Nevada and on the east Line by the Rocky Mountains; it has no outlet

to the sea The prevailing winds in the Great Basin are from the west Warm, moist air from the Pacific Ocean is forced upward as it crosses the Sierra

Nevada At the higher altitudes it cools and the moisture it carries is precipitated as rain or snow on the western slopes of the mountains That which reaches the Basin is air wrung dry of moisture What little water falls there as rain or snow, mostly in the winter months, evaporates on the broad, flat

desert floors It is, therefore, an environment in which organisms battle for survival Along the rare watercourses, cottonwoods and willows eke out a

sparse existence In the upland ranges, pines and junipers struggle to hold their own

But the Great Basin has not always been so arid Many of its dry, closed depressions were once filled with water Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley were once a string of interconnected lakes The two largest of the ancient lakes of the Great Basin were Lake Lahontan and Lake

Bonneville The Great Salt Lake is all that remains of the latter, and Pyramid Lake is one of the last briny remnants of the former

There seem to have been several periods within the last tens of thousands of years when water accumulated in these basins The rise and fall of the

lakes were undoubtedly linked to the advances and retreats of the great ice sheets that covered much of the northern part of the North American continent during those times Climatic changes during the Ice Ages sometimes brought cooler, wetter weather to midlatitude deserts worldwide, including those of the Great Basin The broken valleys of the Great Basin provided ready receptacles for this moisture

Question 65: What is the geographical relationship between the Basin and Range Province and the Great Basin?

A The Great Basin is in the northern part of the Basin and Range

Province

B The Great Basin is larger than the Basin and Range Province

C The Great Basin is west of the Basin and Range Province D The Great Basin is mountainous ; the Basin and Range Province

is flat desert

Question 70: Why does the author mention cottonwoods and willows in line 7?

A To assert that there are more living organisms in the Great Basin

than there used to be

B To give examples of trees that are able to survive in a difficult

environment

C To demonstrate that certain trees require a lit of water D To show the beauty of the landscape of the Great Basin Question 71: Why does the author mention Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley in the second paragraph?

A To explain what the Great Basin is like today B To explain their geographical formation

C To give examples of depressions that once contained water D To compare the characteristics of the valleys with the

characteristics of the lakes

Question 72: The words "the former" in line 10 refer to
