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 Pizarros 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
Spains 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.

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.

Using coal to make electricity accounts for about a third of


Americas 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 countrys 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.

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.

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 hurricanes 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
