lunchtime perhaps they re not so different a new study led by damien farine an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour shows that the vulturine guineafowl of eastern africa like humans have multilevel societies in the past scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower but the pea brained guineafowl are revealing the faults in that assumption these large birds wander across the landscape in packs often walking so closely that their bodies touch they may fight each other to maintain their strict hierarchies 等级制度 but at other times they engage in friendly behaviourslike sharing food suspecting the guineafowl might have a social structure dr farine and his colleagues began a thorough study of their society for a whole year they made daily observations of 441 birds coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black and blue birds apart they also attached gps devices to the backs of 58 birds which let them see exactly where every group went 24 hours a day the findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society there are groups within groups within the population as a whole there even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups this is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird and dr farine emphasizes this particular bird s tiny brain size they don t only have small 高三英语第 4 页 共 8 页 brains relative to mammals 哺 乳 动 物 they also have quite small brains relative to other birds he said according to him living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order for example if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group it knows which group it s looking at no need for a brain that can recognize every single animal multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges they re facing depending on what enemies or resources are around it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain dr farine said there may be more birds and other animals out there that although small brained have societies as many leveled as ourown 28 according to the passage what inspired dr farine to carry out the study a his interest in animal brainpower b previous assumptions about birds c the guineafowl s social behaviour d the faults in earlier research 29 what is paragraph 4 mainlyabout a the research subjects b the researchmethods c the research findings d the research equipment 30 what can be learned from the passage a complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl b the guineafowlare goodat recognizing individuals in a group c birds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups d small brained animals can form multilevel societies 31 what is the main purpose of the passage a tointroduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl b toexplain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies c topresent the findings of a study of the guineafowl d touncover clues about how complex societies are formed d you can t make

the mountains your mobile phone signal drops out and your radio stops working the rusted pay phone on the north side of town is the only way for a visitor to reach the rest of the world it s a pre

astronomers all over the world who want to use the telescope which is so sensitive that it could hear a single snowflake hitting the ground 1 000 miles away such a sensitive listening tool needs total

every hour of every day people who live within a 15km of the green bank telescope are allowed to use landline telephones wired internet and cable televisions but microwave ovens wireless internet and
