The reasons for roosting communally are not<br /> always obvious but there are some likely benefits. In winter especially it is important for birds to keep warm at night<br /> and conserve precious food reserves. One way to do this is to find a sheltered roost. Solitary roosters shelter indense<br /> vegetation or enter a cavity - horned larks dig holes in the ground and ptarmigan burrow into snow banks - but the<br /> effect of sheltering is magnified by several birds huddling together in the roosts, as wrens, swifts, brown creepers,<br /> bluebirds and anis do. Body contact reduces the surface area exposed to the cold air, so the birds keep each other<br /> warm. Two kinglets huddling together were found to reduce their heat losses by a quarter, and three together saved a<br /> third of their heat.<br /> The second possible benefit of communal roosts is that they act as "information centers." During the day,<br /> parties of birds will have spread out to forage over a very large area. When they return in the evening some will have<br /> fed well, but others may have found little to eat. Some investigators have observed that when the birds set out again<br /> next morning, those birds that did not feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that did. The behavior of<br /> common and lesser kestrels may illustrate different feeding behaviors of similar birds with different roosting habits.<br /> The common kestrel hunts vertebrate animals in a small, familiar hunting ground, whereas the very similar lesser<br /> kestrel feeds on insects over a large area. The common kestrel roosts and hunts alone, but the lesser kestrel roosts and<br /> hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from others where to find insect swarms.<br /> Finally, there is safety in numbers at communal roosts since there will always be a few birds awake at any<br /> given moment to give the alarm. But this increased protection is partially counteracted by the fact that mass roosts<br /> attract predators and are especially vulnerable if they are on the ground. Even those in trees can be attacked by birds<br /> of prey. The birds on the edge are at greatest risk since predators find it easier to catch small birds perching at the<br /> margins of the roost.<br /> Câu 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?<br /> A.

In 1870 the census officially distinguished the nation's “urban” from its “rural”<br /> population for the first time. “Urban population” was defined as persons living in towns of 8,000 inhabitants or more.<br /> But after 1900 it meant persons living in incorporated places having 2,500 or more inhabitants.<br /> Then, in 1950 the Census Bureau radically changed its definition of “urban” to take account of the new<br /> vagueness of city boundaries. In addition to persons living in incorporated units of 2,500 or more, the census now<br /> included those who lived in unincorporated units of that size, and also all persons living in the densely settled urban<br /> fringe, including both incorporated and unincorporated areas located around cities of 50,000 inhabitants or more.<br /> Each such unit, conceived as an integrated economic and social unit with a large population nucleus, was named a<br /> Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA).<br /> Each SMSA would contain at least (a) one central city with 50,000 inhabitants or more or (b) two cities<br /> having shared boundaries and constituting, for general economic and social purposes, a single community with a<br /> combined population of at least 50,000, the smaller of which must have a population of at least 15,000. Such an area<br /> included the county in which the central city is located, and adjacent counties that are found to be metropolitan in<br /> character and economically and socially integrated with the county of the central city. By 1970, about two-thirds of<br /> the population of the United States was living in these urbanized areas, and of that figure more than half were living<br /> outside the central cities.<br /> While the Census Bureau and the United States government used the term SMSA (by 1969 there were 233 of<br /> them), social scientists were also using new terms to describe the elusive, vaguely defined areas reaching out from<br /> what used to be simple “towns” and “cities”. A host of terms came into use: “metropolitan regions,” “polynucleated<br /> population groups,” “conurbations,” “metropolitan clusters,” “megalopolises,” and so on.<br /> Câu 44: What does the passage mainly discuss?<br /> A. The changing definition of an urban area<br /> B. How the United States Census Bureau conducts a census<br /> C. Solutions to overcrowding in cities<br /> D. How cities in the United States began and developed<br /> Câu 45: According to the passage, the population of the United States was first classified as rural or urban in<br /> ______.<br /> A. 1950<br /> B. 1970<br /> C. 1900<br /> D. 1870<br /> Câu 46: The word “distinguished” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.<br /> A. differentiated<br /> B. protected<br /> C. removed<br /> D. honored<br /> Câu 47: Prior to 1900, how many inhabitants would a town have to have before being defined as urban?<br /> A. 2,500<br /> B. 50,000<br /> C. 8,000<br /> D. 15,000<br /> Câu 48: According to the passage, why did the Census Bureau revise the definition of urban in 1950?<br /> A.
