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 26 to 32.
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 uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to
contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.
Question 26: The word "hidden" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. undrinkable B. untouched C. unexploitable D. undiscovered
Question 27: 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. It is heated by the sun.
Question 28: 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 29: 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. could not determine the lake's exact size D. was controlled by a satellite
Question 30: 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 31: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 is opposite meaning to ?
A. Pieces of dust B. Tiny bubbles C. huge organisms D. Rays of light
Question 32: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because ____.
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
