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 following questions 
The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee. Natural selection has acted in a variety 
of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviors, known as "flight behaviors" or escape behaviors 
that are used by prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct adaptation is enhanced light speed and agility. 
Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some 
species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy. 
Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way. Many species, 
like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion. 
Trang 4/4 – Mã đề 908 
Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey. 
In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of predators 
that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower. One observation that 
supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are normally able to 
escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine 
falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds). 
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behavior. Here, the alarmed prey 
flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash 
of activity followed by immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behavior is used in particular by frogs and 
orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile. In some species, "flash" behavior is 
enhanced by the display of bright body markings. Good examples of insects with colorful markings are the red and 
yellow underwing moths. At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color. When they fly, however, brightly colored 
hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly conspicuous. Similarly, some frogs and lizards have 
brightly colored patches or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly. Some species even 
appear to possess "flash" sounds. The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they 
jump may serve to emphasize the movement. 
55. The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to_____. 
A. encourage B. increase C. resist D. reveal 
56. The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is_____. 
A. reliable B. fast C. constant D. unpredictable 
57. It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare_____. 
A. is faster than most of its predators B. is preyed upon by gulls and falcons 
C. is more likely to escape using straight flight D. is capable of two kinds of flight 
58. The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of_____. 
A. European hares B. gazelles C. peregrine falcons D. frogs 
59. It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the 
following reasons? 
A. The falcons are faster than the gulls. B. The falcons are unpredictable. 
C. The gulls want to capture the falcons. D. The gulls depend on the falcons for protection. 
60. The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to_____. 
A. frightened B. moving C. selected D. exhausted 
61. All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour EXCEPT_____. 
A. aggressive fighting B. brief conspicuous C. immobility D. bright body markings 
62. The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to_____. 
A. especially B. with difficulty C. expertly D. frequently 
63. The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to_____. 
A. the hind wings of peregrine falcons B. the zigzag flight of European hares 
C. the colored patches on frogs D. the clicking of grasshoppers 
64. Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line? 
A. To compare the jumping behaviour of insects and reptiles. 
B. To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze". 
C. As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound. 
D. As an example of a predator that moths escape by using "flash" behavior.
