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 38 to 45.

A rather surprisingly 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 temperature (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 scientist 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 freshwater lake trapped under Antarctic is of interest to the scientific community

because of 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 38 The passage mentions which of the following as a reason for the importance of Lake Vostok?

A It may contain uncontaminated microbes

B. It can be studied using radio waves

C It has already been contaminated.

D It may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light

Question 39 All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it

A. was conducted by air

B made use of radio waves

C did not measure the exact size of the lake

D. was controlled by a satellite

Question 40 The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses

A Problems with satellite- borne radar equipment

B. the harsh climate of Antarctica

C further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica

D ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it

Question 41 The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could be best be replaced by which of the following?

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

Question 42 Which of the following is closet in meaning to "frigid" in paragraph 1?

A Rarely recorded B Extremely cold C Never changing D Quite harsh

Question 43. The purpose of the passage is to

A explain how Lake Vostok was discovered

B provide satellite data concerning Antarctica

C. present an expected aspect of Antarctica's geography.

D discuss future plans for Lake Vostok

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

A radio waves were not used B Antarctica were not so cold

C. There were no lake D. the lake was not so big

Question 45 What is true of Lake Vostok?

A It is beneath a thick slab of ice B It is completely frozen

C. It is heated by the sun D. It is not a saltwater lake

A Did the manager have to be met at the airport?.

B Does the manager have to be met at the airport?

D Does the manager have to meet at the airport?

Question 50 He was successful in his career thanks to his parents' support.

A. But for his parents' support, he wouldn't have been successful in his career

B If his parents hadn't supported him, he would have been successful in his career.

was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientist 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

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
