Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the worlds
universities, came from very inauspicious and humble beginnings.
This oldest of America universities was founded in 1636 , just sixteen years after the
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.Included in the Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony
during this period were more than 100 graduates of Englands prestigious Oxford and
Cambridge universities, and these university graduates in the New World were determined
that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they themselves had
had.Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General
Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early
the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called
Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin
and is the site of the present-day university.
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of
Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of1,700 pounds to
the fledgling college .In spite of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the
General Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done.The
amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by todays standards, but it was
more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the
college.

VIII. 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 53 to 62.
__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 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._ http://dethithu.net
____ 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 satelliteborne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is
http://dethithu.net
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 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.

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 33 to 42.
Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the worlds
universities, came from very inauspicious and humble beginnings.
This oldest of America universities was founded in 1636 , just sixteen years after the
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.Included in the Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony
during this period were more than 100 graduates of Englands prestigious Oxford and
Cambridge universities, and these university graduates in the New World were determined
that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they themselves had
had.Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General
Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early
the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called
Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin
and is the site of the present-day university.
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of
Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of1,700 pounds to
the fledgling college .In spite of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the
General Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done.The
amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by todays standards, but it was
more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the
http://dethithu.net
college.
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be
noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering
freshman class of four students.Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century
of its existence the entire teaching staff consisted of the president and three or four tutors.

VIII. 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 53 to 62.
__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 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 satelliteborne 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 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.
53: 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

stress of studying. Usually, I like many kinds of music such as: pop, rock, country, and
particularly enjoy them beside a window, under a tree, or on a balcony at dusk and dawn.
Once I feel stuck and want to think about nothing, it is music that brings me a motivation to
stand up. I believe that listening to music makes people healthier because music gets rid of
tiredness, unpleasantness and jealousy and reinforces freedom, happiness and tolerance.
Therefore, I also listen to music when in good mood to enjoy myself. Moreover, a private
world is opened by myself whenever listening melodious songs, which I can do and arrange
anything with my imagination. All things are unreal life but my liking. What music brings
me is unique and essential and listening to it just is like to a childhood sweetheart I love.
