The universal symbol of the Internet era communications, the @ sign used in e-mail addresses to
signify the word 'at', is (23) a 500-year-old invention of Italian merchants, a Rome
academic has revealed. Giorgio Stabile, a science professor at La Sapienza University, claims to have
stumbled on the earliest known example of the symbol's use, as a(n) (24) of a measure of
weight or volume. He says the sign represents an amphora, a measure of capacity based on the terracotta
jars used to transport grain and liquid in the ancient Mediterranean world.
The professor unearthed toe ancient symbol in the course of research for a visual history of the 20 th
century, to be published by the Treccani Encyclopedia. The first (25) instance of its use, he
says, occurred in a letter written by a Florentine merchant on May 4, 1536. He says the sign made its way
along trade routes to northern Europe, where it came to represent 'at the price of, its contemporary
accountancy meaning.
Professor Stabile believes that Italian banks may possess even earlier documents (26)
symbol lying forgotten in their archives. The oldest example could be of great value. It could be used (27)
publicity purposes and to enhance the prestige of the institution that owned it, he says.

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 28 to 34.
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 28: 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 29: 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 30: 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 31: 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 32: 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 33: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of .
A. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica
B. problems with satellite-bome radar equipment
C. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it
D. the harsh climate of Antarctica
Question 34: The purpose of the passage is to .

B. provide satellite data concerning Antarctica
C. discuss future plans for Lake Vostok

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 35 to 42.
Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness and its originality of perspective.
Satire itself, however, rarely offers original ideas. Instead, it presents the familiar in a new form. Satirists
do not offer the world new philosophies. What they do is look at familiar conditions from a perspective
that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful, or affected. Satire jars us out of complacence into a
pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false.
Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd; Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of science; A
Modest Proposal dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas is original.
Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous
Huxley, and people were aware of famine before Swift.
It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was the manner of expression,
the satiric method, that made them interesting and entertaining. Satires are read because they are
aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are morally wholesome or ethically instructive.
They are stimulating and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they brush away illusions and
secondhand opinions. With spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar
objects into incongruous juxtaposition, and speaks in a personal idiom instead of abstract platitude.
Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus,
an irreverent reminder that they live in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish
philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth, though rarely to any action on behalf
of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular media is
sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular
image of it.
