Questions 1-10

It is often the case with folktales that they develop from actual happenings but in their
development lose much of their factual base; the story of Pocahontas quite possibly fits into this
category of folktale. This princess of the Powhatan tribe was firmly established in the lore of early
line America and has been made even more famous by the Disney film based on the folktale that arose
(5) from her life. She was a real-life person, but the actual story of her life most probably different
considerably from the folktale and the movie based on the folktale.
Powhatan, the chief of a confederacy of tribes in Virginia, had several daughters, none of whom
was actually named Pocahontas. The nickname means “playful one,” and several of Powhatan’s
daughters were called Pocahontas. The daughter of Powhatan who became the subject of the folktale
(10)
(15)
 was named Matoaka. What has been verified about Matoaka, or Pocahontas as she has come to be
known, is that she did marry an Englishman and that she did spend time in England before she died
there at a young age. In the spring of 1613, a young Pocahontas was captured by the English and taken
into Jamestown. There she was treated with courtesy as the daughter of chief Powhatan. While
Pocahontas was at Jamestown, English gentlemen John Rolfe fell in love with her and asked her to
marry. Both the governor of the Jamestown colony and Pocahontas’s father Powhatan approved the
marriage as a means of securing peace between Powhatan’s tribe and the English at Jamestown. In
1616, Pocahontas accompanied her new husband to England, where she was royally received. Shortly
before her planned return to Virginia in 1617, she contracted an illness and died rather suddenly.
(20) A major part of the folktale of Pocahontas that is unverified concerns her love for English Captain
John Smith is the period of time before her capture by the British and her rescue of him from almost
certain death. Captain John Smith was indeed at the colony of Jamestown and was acquainted with
Powhatan and his daughters, he even described meeting them in 1612 journal. However, the story of
his rescue by the young maiden did not appear in his writing until 1624, well after Pocahontas had
(25) aroused widespread interest in England by her marriage to an English gentlemen and her visit to
England. It is the discrepancy in dates that has caused some historians to doubt the veracity of the tale.
However, other historians do argue quite persuasively that this incident did truly take place.

Question 11-20

10. The word “veracity” in line 26 is closest in

meaning to

(A) timing
(B) location
(C) accuracy
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
line in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the
(5) earth’s core. The thick glacier above lake Vostok actually insulates it from the 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 form 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 by scientists
(10) 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
(15) ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed area. 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.
