The migration from Asia to North America across the Bering Strait was a monumental event in human history. The process of overspreading the Americas took more than 1,000 years, or 30 generations. This might seem to confirm common sense that slow travel was inherent in any great migration without wheeled vehicles across unknown terrain. Further thought shows that this process was remarkably fast – about 10 northsouth miles per year, on average. The Americas were populated at an amazing pace, when one considers the physical limits of the human body and the physical features of the American continents. Legs of humans can move only so fast under the best of circumstances, and they work even slower over mountain passes or deserts. Populations spread through the diverse regions of the Americas (grasslands, eastern forests, coastal swamps) and needed to adapt to their new environments. The migrants’ lifestyle had evolved over the years to that of professional nomads ensuring that they would find the resources needed to survive.

The Spanish explorer Pizarro’s abduction of the Inca King Atahualpa came in 1529. His men detained the king, coerced the Incas into paying a large ransom in gold and silver, and then intentionally killed the king anyway. Their conquest of Peru established the legendary Spanish holdings on the mainland of Central and South America. The real difficulty for Spain’s kings was how to get the riches of the New World to Spain. Pirates and privateers ruled the seas. To distort what was actually just robbery, the king of England issued licenses that turned certain pirates into agents of the government. Their piracy against Spanish ships and Spanish gold was considered service to the king or queen of England. Most pirates with such licenses were social deviants anyway, and predictably, they became embarrassments to the British crown. In 1603, King James canceled all such licenses. Many dangerous jobless pirates became dangerous robbers that operated from the island of Hispaniola. They launched merciless raids on Spanish settlements and formed a brotherhood known for theft, torture, smuggling, and villainy of all sorts.


48. It is clear from the passage that A) the Spanish explorers murdered the Inca King even though they received the ransom they demanded B) the Incas rejected to pay the high amount of ransom C) the King Atahualpa was released after the payment of ransom D) the conquest of Peru by the Spanish exterminated all the Inca peoples E) Pizarro killed the Inca King by unintentionally

Studies have shown that watching television induces low Alpha waves in the human brain. Alpha waves are brainwaves between 8 to 12 HZ and are commonly associated with relaxed meditative states as well as brain states associated with suggestibility. Too much time spent in the low Alpha wave state caused by TV can cause unfocussed daydreaming and inability to concentrate. Researchers have said that watching television is similar to staring at a blank wall for several hours. In an experiment in 1969, Herbert Krugman monitored a person through many trials and found that in less than one minute of television viewing, the person's brainwaves switched from Beta waves – brainwaves associated with active, logical thought– to primarily Alpha waves. When the subject stopped watching television and began reading a magazine, the brainwaves reverted to Beta waves. Reading a book or magazine, but not televised text (the radiant light from television is believed to induce the slower brainwaves) and writing both require higher brain wave states. If you want to keep your brain focused and your attention strong, it is a good idea to cut your television time. Sitting quietly for a few minutes, painting, singing, reading, or going for a walk, are better for you in all ways.


52. In the research conducted by Herbert Krugman in 1969, A) the participant stared at a blank wall for several hours B) the subject was exposed to high radiation from TV C) even the short-term TV watching was found to switch brain to meditative Alpha state D) the scientists demonstrated that TV viewers were exposed to large number of advertisements E) the subject’s brain showed abnormal brain activities

53. It is understood from the passage that too much television viewing A) induces logical thought in human brain B) is commonly associated with creativity C) might even cause long-term blindness D) causes brain to become incapable of focusing E) require higher brain waves that help keep brain focused

51. According to the information at the end of the passage, which of the following questions can easily be answered? A) Why is it so important to keep watching TV? B) Does watching TV improve mental clarity and long-term memory? C) Which TV programs are recommended for children? 54. It is clearly stated in the passage that D) Why do people enjoy watching TV that much? E) What can be done to enhance the focus and attention?

A) activities like reading and writing improves mental function B) reducing TV time could be detrimental to health C) singing and painting might help weight loss D) research evidence has proven that TV viewing might be beneficial for children E) instead of watching TV people should stare at blank walls

Using coal to make electricity accounts for about a third of America’s carbon emissions. As a result, tackling emissions from coal-fired power plants represents our best opportunity to make sharp reductions in greenhouse gases. Fortunately, the United States already has the technology to do that. Unfortunately, right now the country is addicted to coal, a cheap, abundant power source. Burning coal produces more than half the country’s electricity, despite its immense human and environmental costs. Air pollutants from coal-fired power plants cause somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 premature deaths in the United States each year. Besides, fifty tons of mercury are pumped into the atmosphere annually from coal plants. In addition, the extraction of coal, from West Virginia to Wyoming, devastates the physical environment, and its processing and burning produce enormous volumes of waste.


56. Emphasis is put on the fact that the United States . A) has the ability to drastically decrease greenhouse gases in the country B) has developed efficient technologies for the prevention of environmental pollution C) is the only country in the world that largely depends on coal for its energy needs D) has made great technological advances in processing large amounts of waste E) is seriously concerned about the human and environmental effects of its energy policy

57. As one learns from the passage, coal . A) has always been used as a primary source of energy, but new technologies are needed to extract it more cheaply 55. It is stated in the passage that coalfired power plants in the United States . A) are noted for lower carbon emissions than other kinds of power plants B) are concentrated in West Virginia and Wyoming more than in any other area C) produce a great amount of the country’s electricity D) are blamed more for mercury emissions than for carbon emissions

B) is so abundant in America that more and more coal-fired power plants are being constructed throughout the country C) is extracted in gigantic amounts in West Virginia and Wyoming, since these two states have the richest reserves in the country D) is so indispensable for the production of electricity that nobody is concerned about its adverse effects on the environment E) is a major power source in America, although it has various human and environmental disadvantages

E) have caused widespread environmental destruction in West Virginia and Wyoming

58. In the passage, the writer . A) clearly explains the adverse effects that coal-fired power plants have in America B) criticizes the United States government for not following a clear energy policy C) is fully in favour of the use of coal, as it is a readilyavailable and cheap energy source D) calls for the development of new technologies for the reduction of carbon emissions E) is worried about how gigantic volumes of power plant waste can be efficiently treated

Hurricanes, which are circular storms spinning around a region of low atmospheric pressure, are powered by energy released by spiraling surface winds that draw heat from the ocean. Warmer seas provide more energy and make hurricanes stronger. This is what happened during Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, which submerged New Orleans and the vicinity. In fact, according to climate scientists, both the intensity and destructiveness of hurricanes have increased markedly since the 1970s. In other words, the energy released by an average hurricane appears to have increased by about 70 per cent within the past 30 years. This increase correlates very closely with rises in sea surface temperatures. Furthermore, tropical oceans have warmed about one degree Fahrenheit in the past 50 years, a rise that is believed to be chiefly the result of global warming.


60. It is suggested in the passage that global warming . A) has always been considered to be the single most important cause of hurricanes throughout the world B) has been a major topic of research among climate scientists over the past 50 years or so C) is most intense in regions where atmospheric pressure is very low and sea surface temperatures very high D) was first recognized by climate scientists in the 1970s and has always been correlated with hurricanes E) may have played a major role over the years in the rise of temperature in the oceans in tropical regions

61. It is explained in the passage that a hurricane . A) can only be destructive so long as the surface temperatures of tropical oceans continue to rise steadily B) releases its energy when the temperature of the sea surface increases markedly and causes spiraling winds 59. One understands from the passage that Hurricane Katrina was obviously extremely destructive because . A) no measures had been taken over the last 30 years to protect New Orleans and its surroundings B) New Orleans, situated so close to the ocean, has always had adverse effects on global warming

C) develops from spiraling surface winds that, according to climate scientists, mostly happen in tropical regions D) is a storm that has a circular pattern and moves quickly around an area of low atmospheric pressure E) derives its energy from the oceans, whose surface temperature has changed very little over the past 50 years

C) at the time, global warming affected the New Orleans area more than anywhere else D) the increasingly warm ocean must have provided it with an unusual amount of energy E) climate scientists did not believe that such a hurricane could happen in the New Orleans area

62. One of the points emphasized in the passage is that, over the last 30 years, . A) the average hurricane’s energy has risen by almost threequarters B) Katrina has been the only destructive hurricane in the New Orleans area C) climate scientists have made no progress in understanding hurricanes D) there has been a marked decrease in the strength of spiraling surface winds E) a great deal of research has been done regarding the causes of global warming
