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, t his 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 insulat es 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 o f the area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water o f 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 t he 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 m icrobes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated u ltraviolet 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 46: The word "hidden" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to A. undrinkable B. untouched C. unexploitable D. undiscovered Question 47: What is true of Lake Vostok? A. It is completely frozen. B. It is a saltwater lake. C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice. D. It is heated by the sun. Question 48: 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 49: A ll o f 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. could not determine the lake's exact size D. was controlled by a satellite Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that the 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 Question 51: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the following? A. Pieces of dust B. Tiny bubbles C. Tiny organisms D. Rays of light Question 52: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it A. can be studied using radio waves B. may contain uncontaminated microbes C. may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D. has already been contaminated Question 53: The word "downside" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______ A. bottom level B. negative aspect C. underside D. buried section Question 54: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of A. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica B. problems with satellite-borne radar equipment C. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it D. the harsh climate of Antarctica
Question 55: The purpose of the passage is to______ A. explain how Lake Vostok was discovered B. provide satellite data concerning Antarctica C. discuss future plans for Lake Vostok D. present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica's geography Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the co rrect answer to each of the questions from 56 to 65. Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness and its originality of perspective. Satire itself, however, rarely offers original ideas. Instead, it presents the familiar in a new form. Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they do is look at familiar conditions fr om a perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful, or affected. Satire jars us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false. Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd; Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of science; A Modest Proposal dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas is original. Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley, and people were aware of famine before Swift. It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was the manner of expression, the satiric method, that made them interesting and entertaining. Satires are read because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are morally wholesome or ethically instructive. They are stimulating and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they brush away illusions and secondhand opinions. With spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar o bjects into incongruous juxtaposition, and speaks in a personal idiom instead of abstract platitude. Sat ire exists because there is need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent reminder that they live in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth, though rarely to any action on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image of it. Question 56: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Difficulties of writing satiric literature. B. Popular topics of satire. C.
