Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: Why do some birds flock when they feed? Many researchers say birds forage(搜寻食物) in groups to protect themselves from being attacked.

15、Since there are a greater number of eyes on the lookout, individual birds can spend more time eating and less time worrying about being eaten. Thomas Caraco, a biologist at the University of Rochester, recently studied yellow-eyed juncos(北美雀科小鸟) over a three-day period to see how they altered their

16、feeding habits in the presence of a trained Harris hawk. When Caraco released the bird, it swooped(飞扑) 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 prov

17、ided than they did when foraging individually. To see how the juncos would react if they had some where 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 f

18、ight. The dominant juncos hogged the food and the meek birds lost out. 31. The passage says that .

23、mats and trailing wires, using special non-slip polishes for floors, if they cant be carpeted, above all, making sure there is enough light.
