VI 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 46 to 56
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 blockof 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 teamwas 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.

A unexploitable B untouched C undicovered D undrinkable
Câu 47: What is true of Lake Vostok ?
A It is beneath a thick slab of ice B It is heated by the sun
C It is a saltwater lake D It is completely frozen.

Trang 4A easily broken B quite harsh C lukewarm D extremely cold
Câu 49: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it
A could not determine the lake’s exact size B made use of radio waves
C was conducted by air D was controlled by a satellite
Câu 50: It can be inffered from the passage that the ice would not be flat if
A there were no lake underneath B Antarctica were not so cold
C radio waves were not used D the lake were not so big
Câu 51: The word “microbes” in paragrahp 3 could be best replaced by which of the following ?
A Rays of light B Pieces of dust C Tiny bubbles D Tiny organisms
Câu 52: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it
A may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light B has already been contaminated
C can be studied using radio waves D may contain uncontaminated microbes
Câu 53: The word “ downside” in paragrahp 3 is closest in meaning to _

A further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun and hides at least some part of the Sun from the earth In a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the Sun; in an annual eclipse, the Moon covers
the center of the Sun, leaving a bright ring of light around the Moon; in a total eclipse, the Sun is
completely covered by the Moon.
It seems rather improbable that a celestial body size of the Moon could completely block out the
tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total eclipse, but this is exactly what happens Although the Moon is considerably smaller in size than the Sun, the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their
relative distances from Earth A total eclipse can last up to 7 minutes, during which time the Moon’s
shadow moves across Earth at a rate of about 6 kilometers per second.

a describes how long an eclipse will last B gives facts about the Moon.

b The Moon can only obscure the Sun because of the Moon’s great distance from the Earth.
c Because the Sun is relatively close to Earth, the Sun can be eclipsed by the Moon.
d The moon hides the Sun because of the Moon’s considerable size.
42 The word relative in line 8 could best be replaced by .
43 The passage states that which of the following happens during an eclipse?

c The Moon begins moving at a speed of 6 kilometers per second d.The Moon’s shadow crosses Earth

Most people think of deserts as dry, flat areas with little vegetation and little or no rainfall, but this is hardly true Many deserts have varied geographical formations ranging from soft, rolling hills to stark, jagged cliffs, and most deserts have a permanent source of water Although deserts do not receive a high amount of rainfall – to be classified as a desert, an area must get less than twenty-five centimeters of rainfall per year – there are many plants that thrive on only small amounts of water, and deserts are often full of such plant life.
Desert plants have a variety of mechanisms for obtaining the water needed for survival Some plants, such as cactus, are able to store large amounts of water to last until the next rainfall Other plants, such as the mesquite, have extraordinarily deep root systems that allow them to obtain water from far below the desert’s arid surface.
