(A) How birds find and store food (B) How birds maintain body heat in the winter (C) Why birds need to establish territory (D) Why some species of birds nest together 47 The word “conserve ” is closest in meaning to (A) retain (B) watch (C) locate (D) share 48 Ptarmigan keep warm in the winter by (A) huddling together on the ground with other birds (B) building nests in trees (C) burrowing into dense patches of vegetation (D) digging tunnels into the snow 49 The word “magnified” is closest in meaning to (A) caused (B) modified (C) intensified (D) combined 50 The author mentions kinglets as an example of birds that (A) protect themselves by nesting in holes (B) nest with other species of birds (C) nest together for warmth (D) usually feed and nest in pairs 51 The word “forage” is closest in meaning to (A) fly (B) assemble (C) feed (D) rest 52 Which of the following statements about lesser and common kestrels is true? (A) The lesser kestrel and the common kestrel have similar diets (B) The lesser kestrel feeds sociably but the common kestrel does not (C) The common kestrel nests in larger flocks than does the lesser kestrel (D) The common kestrel nests in trees; the lesser kestrel nests on the ground 53 The word “counteracted” is closest in meaning to (A) suggested (B) negated (C) measured (D) shielded 54 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an advantage derived by birds that huddle together while sleeping? (A) Some members of the flock warn others of impending dangers (B) Staying together provides a greater amount of heat for the whole flock (C) Some birds in the flock function as information centers for others who are looking for food (D) Several members of the flock care for the young 55 Which of the following is a disadvantage of communal roosts that is mentioned in the passage? (A) Diseases easily spread among the birds (B) Groups are more attractive to predators than individual birds (C) Food supplies are quickly depleted (D) Some birds in the group will attack the others 56 The word “they” refers to (A) a few birds (B) mass roosts (C) predators (D) trees VI.Reading The influenza virus is a single molecule composed of millions of individual atoms Although bacteria can be considered a type of plant, secreting poisonous substances into the body of the organism they attack, viruses, like the (3) influenza virus, are living organisms themselves We may consider them regular chemical molecules since they have strictly defined atomic structure; but on the other hand, we must also consider them as being alive since they are able to multiply in unlimited quantities An attack brought on by the presence of the influenza virus in the body produces a temporary immunity, but, unfortunately, the protection is against only the type of virus that caused the influenza Because the disease can be produced by anyone of three types, referred to as A, B, or C, and many varieties within each type, immunity to one virus will not prevent infection by other types or strains Protection from the influenza virus is also complicated by the fact that immunity to a specific virus persists for less than a year Finally, because a virus may periodically change characteristics, the problem of mutation makes it difficult to carry out a successful immunization program Vaccines are often ineffective against newly evolving strains Approximately every ten years, worldwide epidemics of influenza called pandemics occur Thought to be caused by new strains of type-A virus, these pandemic viruses have spread rapidly, infecting millions of people Vaccines have been developed that have been found to be 70 to 90 percent effective for at least six months against either A or B types of the influenza virus, and a genetically engineered live-virus vaccine is under development Currently, the United States Public Health Service recommends annual vaccination only for those at greatest risk of complications from influenza, including pregnant women and the elderly Nevertheless, many other members of the general population request and receive flu shots every year, and even more are immunized during epidemic or pandemic cycles 57 Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
