Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answers to each question. Passage one Why do some birds flock when they feed? Many researchers say birds forage in groups to protect themselves from being attacked. Since there are a greater number of eyes on the lookout, individual birds can spend more time eating and 页脚内容5 大学舞蹈社招新策划书 less time worrying about being eaten. Thomas Caraco, a biologist at the University of Rochester, recently studied yellow-eyed juncos over a three-day period to see how they altered their feeding habits in the presence of a trained Harris hawk. When Caraco released the bird, it swooped over the juncos, appearing to attack. The birds reacted by huddling together in a flock. And, despite the threat from above, they spent less time scanning and more time eating the food Caraco provided than they did when foraging individually. To see how the juncos would react if they had somewhere to hide, Caraco placed a Christmas tree in the feeding area. The birds became even freer. One negative note; when the number of birds in the flock increased beyond a certain point, they began to fight. The dominant juncos hogged the food and the meek birds lost out. 41. Juncos are probably ________. A. very nice to look at B. stronger and more fierce than hawks C. birds often hide themselves in trees D. birds are free whether there are trees around or not 45. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Flocking for Safety B. The Story of Juncos C. Feeding Habits D. The Research on Juncos Passage Two On hot, humid days you can hardly wait until you get to an air—conditioned room. Air conditioning is a method of changing the condition of the air from what it is to what it should be in order to improve your comfort and health. The machinery for doing this is complicated, but the principles of air conditioning are simple. A fan draws in the air from outside the building. The air is full of dust which may affect your health. Therefore, it is first forced through fine screens which catch the dust and filter it out of the air. It cools the air to a temperature that may suit you. The air still contains a proportion of moisture. Too much moisture makes you uncomfortable. Too little makes your nose and throat feel dry. The conditioner adjusts the air to the right proportion of moisture, taking out extra moisture or adding some if there is not enough. The air in your room, too, passes again and again through the conditioner, and in a short time the temperature, the amount of moisture and purity are just right. 46. The purpose of air conditioning is __________. A. to manufacture better air B. to improve the condition of the air C. to change the air we now have into a new kind of air D. to produce fresh air 47. Conditioning makes air better for us __________. A. by blowing away the dust B. by treating the dust with some chemicals 页脚内容5 C. spending a lot of time worrying about being eaten D. mild in disposition 42. According to the passage, when birds eat in groups, they ________. A. are less worried B. eat less C. are more worried D. alter their feeding habits 43. The passage says that ________. A. many birds don’t like to forage in groups B. juncos are always ready to attack when they are together C. juncos foraging individually will spend more time scanning D. juncos like the food provided by Caraco best 44. Caraco’s Christmas-tree experiment shows that ________. A. birds are not afraid of trees B. birds become bolder if there is a hiding-place nearby
