PART 3: READING (5.0 points)

I Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions (2.5 pts)

Lake Baikal, the world’s largest lake, is located in southern Siberia, in Russia It measures 395

miles long by 50 miles wide and it has 1,245 miles of coastline The lake’s rocky basin consists of three

depressions, which hold a total volume of 14,656 cubic miles of water, 20 percent of the freshwater in the

world The lake is also very deep, with its deepest point at over 1 mile and an average depth of 2,066 feet Furthermore, scientists have determined that Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the world From sediment

obtained by drilling deep down below the lake, researchers estimate it to be at least 25 million years old

To scientists, Lake Baikal is of particular interest because of its unique and isolated ecosystem More than 1,000 species of plants and animals found at Lake Baikal exist nowhere else on earth and some can be dated to prehistoric times Among its unique fauna is the Baikal freshwater seal This creature, which local

people call nerpa, is the only mammal which inhabits the lake Researchers speculate that these seals, which

have been breeding at Lake Baikal for 22 million years, are the descendents of ocean-dwelling seals which migrated inland in search of food, when the lake was still connected to the sea Another creature that is unique

to this Siberian Lake is the omu, a fish, which is caught by local fisherman and is considered a great delicacy

For centuries, the water in Lake Baikal was so clear that it was possible to see down to depths of 40 to 60 feet Several factors contributed to keeping the water crystal clear First, the lake contained certain small zooplankton and small crustaceans that consumed waterweeds, bacteria, and other material that would

otherwise cloud the water Furthermore, the water in the lake consisted of rainwater and melted snow that

flowed down from a mountain range in about 300 streams and through uninhabited forest Finally, most of the watershed has a rocky surface, so the water flowing into the lake did not accumulate mud or organic matter and had little mineral or chemical content

D it is about 25 million years old

Câu 4: Scientists are particularly interested in Lake Baikal because

A its ecosystem is special

B the animals there are similar to elsewhere

C it has more species of plants than anywhere else

D it is isolated

Câu 5: Baikal fresh seal is

A the only habitants of the lake Baikal B only found in the lake Baikal

C has been breeding at the lake for 32 million years D a species of plant

Câu 6: Omu is mentioned in the passage as

A a local fisherman B an animal migrating inland from the sea

C descendents of ocean-dwelling seals D an animal unique to the lake

Câu 7: The water of the lake Baikal is

A used to make crystal B toxic C made of crystal D transparent

Câu 8: According to the passage, there are factors contributing to the clarity of the water in Lake Baikal
