Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
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
 VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu

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.

A. the rocky basin B. the lake
C. the total water volume D. three depressions

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total calories as protein.
The rest of the dietary energy comes from carbohydrates, fats, and in some people, alcohol.
The proportion of calories from fats varies from 10 percent in poor communities to 40
percent or more in rich communities.
In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body. The
fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good

sources of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the
body’s fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach, thus
increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste,
and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty deposits in the
body have an insulating and protective value. The curves of the human female body are due
mostly to strategically located fat deposits.
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not
definitely known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin
becomes inflamed and scaly, and their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids,
linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and hence are called essential
fatty acids. They also are required by a number of other animals, but their roles in human
beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for
humans.

A. diet book B. A book on basic nutrition
C. A cookbook D. A popular women’ s magazine
Question 56: We can infer from the passage that all of the following statements about fats
