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.
Câu 1: The word “which” in the first paragraph refers to __ .
A. the rocky basin
B. the lake
C. the total water volume
D. three depressions

A. it has a great variety of fish

B. it is near the sea
C. it has the biggest amount of freshwater in the world
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

others, by individuals. Participation in these programs is at an all-time high. In the small town of Truro in
