A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater, 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 warned by geothermal heat from the earth’s core This thick glacier above Lake Vostok

actually insulates it from frigid temperatures (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 scientists 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 fresh water 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 conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated sampled from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this

D was controlled by a satellite

Question 48: It can be interfered from the passage that ice would not be flat if

Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the world’s

universities, came from very inauspicious and humble beginning

This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen years after the

Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Included in the puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony

during this period were more than 100 graduates of England’s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the New Word were determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they themselves had had, Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called

Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of t

he present-day university

Trang 9

When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to

the fledgling college In spite of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the

General Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done The amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by today’s standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the college

Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and-it should be noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering

freshmen class of four students Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century

C rather supportive of the English government D rather undemocratic
