showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter
They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived
Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie

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 43 to 50
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
Trang 7The 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 43: The word “hidden” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A undrinkable B untouched C unexploitable D undiscovered
Question 44: 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 45: 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 46: 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 47: 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
Trang 8Question 48: 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 49: 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 50: 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
