Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to the following questions. Birds that feed in flocks commonly retire together into
roosts. The reasons for roosting communally are not always obvious. but there are some likely benefits. In
winter especially. it is important for birds to keep warm at night and conserve precious food reserves.
One way to do this is to find a sheltered roost. Solitary roosters shelter indense vegetation or enter a
cavity - horned larks dig holes in the ground and ptarmigan burrow into snow banks - but the effect of
sheltering is magnified by several birds huddling together in the roosts, as wrens, swifts. brown creepers,
bluebirds. and anis do. Body contact reduces the surface area exposed to the cold air, so the birds keep
each other warm. Two kinglets huddling together were found to reduce their heat losses by a quarter, and
three together saved a third of their heat. The second possible benefit of communal roosts is that they act
as "information centers." During the day, parties of birds will have spread out to forage over a very large
area. When they return in the evening some will have fed well, but others may have found little to eat.
Some investigators have observed that when the birds set out again next morning, those birds that did not
feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that did. The behavior of common and lesser kestrels
may illustrate different feeding behaviors of similar birds with different roosting habits. The common
kestrel hunts vertebrate animals in a small, familiar hunting ground, whereas the very similar lesser

kestrel feeds on insects over a large area. The common kestrel roosts and hunts alone, but the lesser
kestrel roosts and hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from others where to find insect swarms.
Finally. there is safety in numbers at communal roosts since there will always be a few birds awake at any


given moment to give the alarm. But this increased protection is partially
counteracted by the fact that mass roosts attract predators and are especially vulnerable if they are on the
ground. Even those in trees can be attacked by birds of prey. The birds on the edge are at greatest risk
since predators find it easier to catch small birds perching at the margins of the roost.

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the
correct
answer
to
the
following
questions.
Lake Baikal, the world’s largest lake, is located in southern Siberia, in Russia. It measures 395
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. Researchersspeculate 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. 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.
