Birds that feed in floc(s commonly retire together into roosts. +he reasons for roosting communally are not always o$vious2 $ut there are some li(ely $enefits. In winter especially2 it is important for $irds to (eep warm at night and conserLe precious food reserves. Pne way to do this is to find a sheltered roost. 7olitary roosters shelter in dense vegetation or enter a cavity o horned lar(s dig holes in the ground and ptarmigan $urrow into snow $an(s o $ut the effect of sheltering is @agnified $y several $irds huddling together in the roosts2 as wrens2 swifts2 $rown creepers2 $lue$irds2 and anis do. Body contact reduces the surface area e/posed to the cold air2 so the $irds (eep each other warm. +wo kinglets huddling together were found to reduce their heat losses $y a 3uarter and three together saved a third of their heat. +he second possi$le $enefit of communal roosts is that they act as Sinformation centers. S uring the day2 parties of $irds will have spread out to forage over a very large area. 8hen they return in the evening some will have fed well2 $ut others may have found little to eat. 7ome investigators have o$served that when the $irds set out again ne/t morning2 those $irds that did not feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that did. +he $ehavior of common and lesser (estrels may illustrate different feeding $ehaviors of similar $irds with different roosting ha$its. +he 8E

common (estrel hunts verte$rate animals in a small2 familiar hunting ground2 whereas the very similar lesser (estrel feeds on insects over a large area. +he common (estrel roosts and hunts alone2 $ut the lesser (estrel roosts and hunts in floc(s2 possi$ly so one $ird can learn from others where to find insect swarms. Tinally2 there is safety in num$ers at communal roosts since there will always $e a few $irds awa(e at any given moment to give the alarm. But this increased protection is partially counteracted $y the fact that mass roosts attract predators and are especially Lulnera:le if they are on the ground. Oven those in trees can $e attac(ed $y $irds of prey. +he $irds on the edge are at greatest ris( since predators find it easier to catch small $irds perching at the margins of the roost. 01. 8hat does the passage mainly discuss6 A. <ow $irds find and store food B. <ow $irds maintain $ody heat in the winter C. 8hy $irds need to esta$lish territory . 8hy some species of $irds nest together 0!. +he word SconserveS in the passage is closest in meaning tonnnnn A. retain B. watch C. locate . share 0&.

A. huddling together on the ground with other $irds B. $uilding nests in trees C. $urrowing into dense patches of vegetation . digging tunnels into the snow 0*. +he word S magnified S in the passage is closest in meaning tonnnnn A. caused B. modified C. intensified . com$ined 05. +he author mentions ](ingletsY in the passage as an e/ample of $irds that n. A. protect themselves $y nesting in holes B. nest with other species of $irds C. nest together for warmth . usually feed and nest in pairs 0-. 8hich of the following statements a$out lesser and common (estrels is true6 A. +he lesser (estrel and the common (estrel have similar diets. B. +he lesser (estrel feeds socia$ly $ut the common (estrel does not. C. +he common (estrel nests in larger floc(s than does the lesser (estrel. . +he common (estrel nests in treesZ the lesser (estrel nests on the ground. 00. 8hich of the following is QP+ mentioned in the passage as an advantage derived $y $irds that huddle together while sleeping6 A. 7ome mem$ers of the floc( warn others of impending dangers. B. 7taying together provides a greater amount of heat for the whole floc(. C. 7ome $irds in the floc( function as information centers for others who are loo(ing for food. . 7everal mem$ers of the floc( care for the young. 01. 8hich of the following is a disadvantage of communal roosts that is mentioned in the passage6 A. iseases easily spread among the $irds. B.;roups are more attractive to predators than individual $irds are. C. Tood supplies are 3uic(ly depleted. . 7ome $irds in the group will attac( the others. 04. +he word StheyS in the passage refers ton A. a few $irds B. mass roosts C. predators . trees S S 10. +he word vulnera$le in the passage is closest in meaning to n A. easy to attac( B. easy to $e attac(ed C. easy to give the alarm . easy to move around 3F
