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.

V. Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences, then choose the best answer for each.
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.
36. This passage mainly _________.
a. describes how long an eclipse will last.
B. gives facts about the Moon.
c. explains how the Sun is able to obscure the Moon.
D. informs the reader about solar eclipses.

39. A celestial body in line 5 is most probably one that is found ______.
a. somewhere in the sky
b. within the Moon’s shadow
c. on the surface of the Sun
d. inside Earth’s atmosphere
40. What is the meaning of block out in line 5?
a. Square
b. Cover

c. Evaporate
d. Shrink
41. According to the passage, how can the Moon hide the Sun during a total eclipse?
a. The fact that the Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun makes up for the Moon’s smaller size.
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 ________.
a. familial
b. infinite
c. comparative
d. paternal
43. The passage states that which of the following happens during an eclipse?
a. The Moon hides from the Sun.
b. The Moon is obscured by the Sun.
c. The Moon begins moving at a speed of 6 kilometers per second. d.The Moon’s shadow crosses Earth

VIII. Read the following passage then choose the best answer to the questions below.
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.
66. What is the main topic of the passage?
a. Deserts are dry, flat areas with few plants.
b. There is little rainfall in the desert.
c. Many kinds of vegetation can survive with little water.

a. the typical conception of a desert is incorrect.
b. all deserts are dry, flat areas.
c. most people are well informed about deserts.

Reading passage:
As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers
have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger
heart attacks. High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to
the high incidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may
be significantly longer and quite surprising.
Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher
percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure
on Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to
heart attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning
phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An
early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulating
hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher
incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.
In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors.
Statistics reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in

the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are
more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to
be linked in some way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in
the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered.
46. What does the passage mainly discuss?
(A) cardiology in the 1980s
(B) seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks


(C) risk factors in heart attacks
(D) diet and stress as factors in heart attacks
47. In line 2, the word "potential" could best be re-placed by which of the following?

(A) harmful

(B) possible

(C) unknown

(D) primary

48. The word "trigger" as used in line 2 is closest in meaning to which of the following?
(A) involve
(B) affect
(C) cause
(D) encounter
49. Which of the following could best replace the word "incidence" as used in line 3?
(A) increase
(B) rate
(C) factor

(D) chance
50. The author uses the word "temporal" in line 6 to mean
(A) affected by
(B) of a certain date
(C) regularly

(D) expected

51. The phrase "susceptible to" in line 8 could best be replaced by
(A) aware of
(B) prone to
(C) accustomed
(D) affected by
52. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a possible cause of many heart
attacks?
(A) decreased blood flow to the heart
(B) increase in hormones
(C) lower heart rate

(D) increased blood pressure

53. The word "phenomenon" in line 9 refers to which of the following?
(A) habit
(B) activity
(C) occurrence
(D) illness
54. Which of the following is NOT cited as a possible risk factor?
(A) getting married
(B)
having a birthday

(C) eating fatty foods

(D) being under stress

55. Which of the following does the passage infer?
(A) We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks.
(B) We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks.
(C) We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks.

Reading passage:

Line

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their
faces or by their actions. This is useful because reading their emotional
expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved
to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others.
But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in
Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions
has centered on such questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and

understand substantially the same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group

have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions
that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for
example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in
such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the
United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north
of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can

recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt,
happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in
both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display rules.
In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional
responses – especially negative ones- while many American children are
encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however,
emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people’s behavior. From
their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their
feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children
pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults
in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a
biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of
human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago,
some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different
meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might
be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate
disgust, while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face
may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean
embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.
According to the passage, we respond to others by ______________.
A. observing their looks
C. watching their actions
B. observing their emotional expressions
D. looking at their faces
Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether
_____________.
A. different cultures have similar emotional expressions.
B. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar.
C. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth.

D. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar.
The word “ evolved” in line 3 is closest in meaning to ______________.
A. reduced
B. increased
C. simplified
D. developed
Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of ________________.
A. lacked many main ingredients

D. investigators on universal emotional expressions
Smiles and frowns ________________.
A. are universal expressions across cultures
