A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge
freshwater, 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 warned by geothermal heat from the earth’s core This thick
glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from frigid temperatures (the lowest ever
recorded on Earth) 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 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; 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 fresh water 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 conducting research on the
lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated
sampled from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination Scientists are

Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of England’s
prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the New
Word were determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that
they themselves had had, Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher
learning, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in
October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school;
this land was in an area called Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its
English cousin and is the site of t he present-day university
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the
neighboring town of Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his
estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college In spite of the fact that only half of the
bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in
appreciation for what he had done The amount of the bequest may not have been large,
particularly by today’s standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it
necessary to appropriate in order to open the college
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it
should be noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with
an entering freshmen class of four students Although the staff did expand somewhat, for
the first century of its existence the entire teaching staff consisted of the president and three
or four tutors

This rapid transcontinental settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the last half
of the 19th century were accompanied by the development of a national literature of great abundance and
Trang 17
variety New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in the literature of this half century
As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved
remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the
sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms,
in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its
narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed,
were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women
In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt
Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations." At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works
Câu 55: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that the previous passage probably discussed _
A the limitations of American literature to this time
B the fashions and values of 19th century America
C he importance of tradition to writers
D new developments in industrialization and population shifts

EXCEPT
A It was not highly regarded internationally
B It broke with many literary traditions of the past
C It introduced new American themes, characters, and settings
D It spoke to the issue of reform and change
Trang 18A To wind down his argument
B For variety in a lengthy paragraph
C To show a favorable attitude to these forms of literature
D To emphasize the contrast he is making

A was disapproving of the new literature B disliked urban life
Câu 62: This passage would probably be read in which of the following academic courses?
A Current events B International affairs C American literature D European history
Câu 63: The main idea of this passage is
A that the new American literature was less provincial than the old
B that most people were wary of the new literature
C that World War I caused a dramatic change in America
D that centers of culture shifted from East to West

remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the
sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms,
in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its
narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed,
were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women
In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt
Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations." At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works

remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the
