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. 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.

Câu 77: The water of the lake Baikal is __
A. used to make crystal B. toxic
C. made of crystal D. transparent
Câu 78: According to the passage, there are __ factors contributing to the clarity of the water in Lake Baikal.
