Police Officer Tidwell left the station just after 8 a.m. on Sunday, June 4. He had spent an
uneventful night on duty and was looking forward to his day of rest. By habit he took a shortcut

down the path behind Digby Hall Road and after a minute or two he saw a man climbing down a
drain-pipe from an open bedroom window of number 29. In silence Tidwell crept into the
garden. The man reached the ground and was dusting himself down when he felt his arm
gripped.


"It's 8.15 on a Sunday morning," said the officer, "and this sort of thing seems an unlikely
adventure at such a time. Would you mind explaining?"
The man was obviously startied but kept calm. He said, "I know what you're thinking,
officer, but it isn't true. This is a very funny mistake."
"It's part of my job to take an interest in unusual events. I think you've just left this house
in a manner other than the customary one. That may be quite innocent, but I'd like to make sure."
Tidwell took out his notebook and a pen. "Name, address and occupation and then, please, tell
me your story."
"Charlie Crane lorry driver, from Nottingham, 51 Brecon Street. My story. . ."
"Yes. What were you doing like a fly on that well. Mr. Crane?"
"Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. Bed and breakfast.
The landlady's name is Mrs. Fem. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the
right way and down at the Lorry Park by half past seven. It was only when I left around for a
cigarette I realised I'd left $80 in my pay envelope under the pillow here at number 29. I always
put it under my pillow at night. It's a habit I've got into. I even do it at home. . ."
"I see. Why didn't you miss it when you went to pay Mrs. What's-her-name?"
"I'd paid her last night. You've got to pay when you take the room, see? So I came
rushing back, but it's Sunday, and she'd gone back to bed, and could I wake her? I rang the bell
and banged on the frond door for ten minutes before I came round here to the back and spotted
my bedroom window still open. Up I went, then up this pipe. It's a trick I learnt in the army. She
hadn't made the bed, and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it
because . . ."
"Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing here? I thought you had gone an hour ago." It was
Mrs. Fem, speaking from the kitchen window at the corner of the house.

Question 36. Why was Tidwell walking along the path?
A. He usually discovered something suspicious along that way.
B. He had an appointment with a man at number 29, Digby Hall Road
C. He chose to go that way by chance.

Question 37. According to the passage, the officer saw a man _______
A. causing damage to the house

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.
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 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 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 a saltwater lake.
C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice.
D. It is heated by the sun
Question 45. 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 46. 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
Question 47. 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 48. 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 49. The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of_______.
A. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica


B. problems with satellite-borne radar equipment
C. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it
D. the harsh climate of Antarctica
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
