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 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.

A. extremely cold

B. never changing

C. quite harsh

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 36 to 42.
 
It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up from about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating spread of disease. These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas continues.
How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities are governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt society than ever before.
Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an urban model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity and diversity of people can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.
But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.
The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability. In each of these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases, transferred through the mechanism of insurance.

​B. 54% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050.
​C. Risks cannot be addressed effectively no matter how well cities are governed.

Đáp án C

Dịch nghĩa: Đoạn văn phía sau có khả năng cao sẽ bàn luận về ___________.

A. những phát hiện khác trên bề mặt Nam cực

B. vấn đề với các thiết bị truyền radar qua vệ tinh

C. các cách để nghiên cứu hồ Vostok mà không làm hư hại đến nó

D. thời tiết khắc nghiệt ở Nam Cực

Giải thích: Ở đoạn 3 đã nói về việc các nhà khoa học đang tìm cách để nghiên cứu mà không gây tổn hại cho hồ, như vậy đoạn 4 có khả năng tiếp tục bản về vấn đề này. Nếu bàn về A, B, D thì không sai nhưng không tạo được mạch liên kết giữa các đoạn và còn hơi lệch vấn đề: đặc điểm địa lý khác lạ ở Nam Cực.

Bài dịch

Một đặc điểm địa lý đáng ngạc nhiên của Nam Cực đó là một vùng nước ngọt khổng lồ, một trong những vùng lớn nhất và sâu nhất trái đất, nằm ẩn dưới bốn km băng. Bây giờ được gọi là hồ Vostok, lượng nước khổng lồ này nằm dưới khối băng tạo nên Nam Cực. Hồ có thể tồn tại ở trạng thái lỏng dưới khối băng là do nước được làm ấm bởi địa nhiệt từ lõi trái đất. Sông băng dày trên hồ Vostok bảo vệ nó khỏi nhiệt độ băng giá trên bề mặt (thấp nhất từng được ghi lại trên Trái đất).

Hồ lần đầu tiên được phát hiện vào những năm 1970 khi một nhóm nghiên cứu đã tiến hành một cuộc khảo sát trên không của khu vực. Sóng vô tuyến từ các thiết bị khảo sát thâm nhập vào băng và phát hiện một vùng nước có kích thước bất định. Đến gần đây các dữ liệu thu thập bởi vệ tinh mới cho các nhà khoa học biết được được kích thước to lớn của hồ; vệ tinh truyền qua radar phát hiện một khu vực cực kỳ bằng phẳng, nơi các băng đá đang còn nguyên vì nó trôi nổi trên mặt nước của hồ.

Việc phát hiện ra một hồ nước ngọt lớn ở dưới Nam Cực là điều mà cộng đồng khoa học rất quan tâm vì có khả năng hồ còn chứa vi sinh vật cổ đại sống sót trong hàng ngàn hàng ngàn năm, không bị ảnh hưởng bởi các yếu tố như bụi phóng xạ hạt nhân và ánh sáng tia cực tím cao đã ảnh hưởng đến những vùng có ánh mặt trời bức xạ rộng. Mặt tiêu cực của các phát hiện này nằm ở việc khó khăn khi phải tiến hành nghiên cứu trên hồ trong điều kiện khí hậu khắc nghiệt và các vấn đề liên quan đến việc thu thập các mẫu không bị ô nhiễm lấy từ hồ mà không thực sự gây hư hại gì đến hồ. Các nhà khoa học đang tìm cách để có thể thực hiện điều này.
