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: The word "microbes" in paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following? A Tiny bubbles B Pieces of dust C Rays of light D Tiny organisms Question 46: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if A there were no lake underneath B radio waves were not used C Antarctica were not so cold D the lake were not so big Question 47: The word "hidden" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A untouched B undiscovered C unexploitable D undrinkable Question 48: Which of the following is closest in meaning to "frigid" in paragraph 1? A quite harsh B lukewarm C easily broken D extremely cold Question 49: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it A may contain uncontaminated microbes B may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light C can be studied using radio waves D has already been contaminated Question 50: The purpose of the passage is to A discuss future plans for Lake Vostok B explain how Lake Vostok was discovered C present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica’s geography D provide satellite data concerning Antarctica C ấn Chín T h rư ng ... couldn’t think of anything better to do, they decided to baby-sit for the family C As soon as they couldn’t think of anything better to do, they decided to baby-sit for the family D As long as... better to They decided to baby-sit for the family A As soon as they couldn’t think of anything better to do, they decided to baby-sit for the family B As long as they couldn’t think of anything better... decided to baby-sit for the family C They couldn’t think of anything better to do, yet they decided to baby-sit for the family D Since they couldn’t think of anything better to do, they decided
