Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

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 kilometrer 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 frigidtemperatures on the surface

The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area Radio wavesfrom the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size It was not until much morerecently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radardetected 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 of years, unaffected by factors such as

nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas The downside of thediscovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problemsassociated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination.Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this

Question 43: The word "hidden" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

Question 44: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the following?

A Rays of light B Tiny bubbles C Tiny organisms D Pieces of dust

Question 45: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if

A radio waves were not used B there were no lake underneath

C the lake were not so big D Antarctica were not so cold

Question 46: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that

A made use of radio waves B could not determine the lake’s exact size

C was controlled by a satellite D was conducted by air

Trang 4

Question 47: Which of the following is closest in meaning to "frigid" in paragraph 1?

A easily broken B lukewarm C extremely cold D quite harsh

Question 48: What is true of Lake Vostok?

A It is beneath a thick slab of ice B It is heated by the sun.

C It is completely frozen D It is saltwater lake.

Question 49: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it

A may contain uncontaminated microbes B has already been contaminated

C can be studied using radio waves D may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light

Question 50: The purpose of the passage is to

A explain how Lake Vostok was discovered B discuss future plans for Lake Vostok

C provide satellite data concerning Antarctica D present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica’s geography

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 kilometrer 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 frigidtemperatures on the surface

The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area Radio wavesfrom the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size It was not until much morerecently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radardetected 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 of years, unaffected by factors such as

nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas The downside of thediscovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problemsassociated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination.Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this

Question 43: What is true of Lake Vostok?

A It is saltwater lake B It is beneath a thick slab of ice.

C It is completely frozen D It is heated by the sun.

Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if

A there were no lake underneath B radio waves were not used

C Antarctica were not so cold D the lake were not so big

Question 45: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that

A was conducted by air B was controlled by a satellite

C made use of radio waves D could not determine the lake’s exact size

Question 46: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the following?

A Rays of light B Tiny organisms C Tiny bubbles D Pieces of dust

Trang 12

Question 47: Which of the following is closest in meaning to "frigid" in paragraph 1?

Question 48: The word "hidden" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

A untouched B unexploitable C undiscovered D undrinkable Question 49: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it

A has already been contaminated B may contain uncontaminated microbes

C can be studied using radio waves D may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light Question 50: The purpose of the passage is to

A provide satellite data concerning Antarctica B discuss future plans for Lake Vostok

C present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica’s geography D explain how Lake Vostok was discovered
