Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D to each question.
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 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 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 contamination. Scientist are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.
Question 14: The word"hidden" in paragraph 1 closest in meaning to__________.
A. undrinkable B. untouched C. unexploitable D. undiscovered
Question 15: What is true of Lake Vostok?
A. It is completely frozen
B. It is saltwater lake
C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice
D. many firefighters died in the earthquake
Question 16: Which of the following is closest in meaning to" frigid" in paragraph 1?
A. extremely cold B. easily broken
C. quite harsh D. lukewarm

Question 17: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that
is__________.
A. was conducted by air
B. made use of radio waves
C. could not determine the lake's exact size
D. was controlled by a satellite
Question 18: It can be inferred from the passage that ice would not be flat if__________.
A. there were no lake underneath B. the lake were not so big
C. Antarctica were not so cold D. radio waves were not used
