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 18 to 24.
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 upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated
ultraviolet light that have affected organism 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 way to accomplish this.
Question 18. What is TRUE of Lake Vostok according to paragraph 1?
A. It is under a thick slab of ice. B. It is a saltwater lake.
C. It is completely frozen. D. It is heated by the sun.

A. easily broken B. quite hot C. very warm D. extremely cold
Question 20. All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it
_________.
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 21. The word “microbes” in paragrahp 3 could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. Tiny organisms B. Rays of light
C. Pieces of dust D. Large living creatures
Question 22. 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

of carbon dioxide emissions, there is a sharp rise in high-temperature weather, which has an irreversible
impact on our environment and ecology. Scientists say, “Changing weather patterns linked to rising
global temperatures have resulted in a dearth of wind across northern China, according to several recent
studies, exacerbating a wave of severe pollution that has been blamed for millions of premature deaths”.
However, when I returned home last Christmas, there was no snow on the street, instead, it was a warm
winter with sunshine. The continued of global warming may not only bring about changes in climate.
