The

scientists said
yesterday.
While elderly people __47__ to

brain's performance and they would benefit
from getting more, according to research.
Sean Drummond,

“It's __53__ a myth that older people

Passage One
Questions 57 to 61
are based on the following passage.
Several
recent studies have found that being
randomly
(随机地) assigned to a roommate
of another
race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a
greater
likelihood
(可能性)of
conflict.
Recent reports found that lodging with a
student of a different race may decrease
prejudice and compel students to engage in
more ethnically diverse friendships.
An Ohio
State University study also found that black
students living with a white roommate
saw
higher academic success throughout their college
careers. Researchers believe this
may be
caused by social pressure.
In a
New York
Times
article, Sam Boakye – the only black
student on his freshman year
floor -said that
Researchers also observed problems resulting
from pairing interracial students in
residences.
According to two recent
studies, randomly assigned roommates of different
races are more
likely to experience conflicts
so strained that one roommate will move out.
An Indiana University study found that
interracial roommates were three times as likely
as
two white roommates to no longer live
together by the end of the semester.
Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she
was not surprised by the findings.

Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66
are based on the following passage.
Global
warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and
about $$125 billion in economic
losses each
year, according to a report by the Global
Humanitarian Forum, an organization
led by
Annan, the former United Nations secretary
general.
The report, to be released Friday,
analyzed data and existing studies of health,
disaster,
population and economic trends. It
found that human-influenced climate change was
raising the global death rates from illnesses
including
malnutrition
(营养不良)and
heat-
related health problems.
But even
before its release, the report drew criticism from
some experts on climate and
risk, who
questioned its methods and conclusions.
Along
with the deaths, the report said that the lives of
325 million people, primarily in poor
countries, were being seriously affected by
climate change. It projected that the number
would double by 2030.
Roger Pielke Jr., a
political scientist at the University of Colorado,
Boulder, who studies
disaster trends, said the
Forum's report was
there was no way to
distinguish deaths or economic losses related to
human-driven global
warming amid the much
larger losses resulting from the growth in
populations and
economic development in
vulnerable
(易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke
said that “climate
change is an important
problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the
report, he said,
flawed
(有瑕疵的).
However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist
at Dalberg Global Development Partners who
supervised the writing of the report, defended
it, saying that it was clear that the numbers
were rough estimates. He said the report was
aimed at world leaders, who will meet in
Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new
international climate treaty.
In a press
release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed
the need for the negotiations
to focus on
increasing the flow of money from rich to poor
regions to help reduce their
vulnerability to
climate hazards while still curbing the emissions
of the heat-trapping gases.
More than 90% of
the human and economic losses from climate change
are occurring in
poor countries, according to
the report.
62. What is the finding of the
Global Humanitarian Forum?
A) Global
temperatures affect the rate of economic
development.
B) Rates of death from
illnesses have risen due to global warming.
C)
Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in
poor countries.
D) Economic trends have to
do with population and natural disasters.
63.
What do we learn about the Forum's report from the
passage?
A) It was challenged by some
climate and risk experts.
B) It aroused a
lot of interest in the scientific circles.
C) It was warmly received by
environmentalists.
D) It caused a big stir
in developing countries.
64. What does Dr.
Pielke say about the Forum's report?
A)
Its statistics look embarrassing. C) It
deserves our closest attention.
B) It is
invalid in terms of methodology. D) Its
conclusion is purposely
exaggerated.
65.
What is Soren Andreasen's view of the report?
A) Its conclusions are based on carefully
collected data.
B) It is vulnerable to
criticism if the statistics are closely examined.
C) It will give rise to heated
discussions at the Copenhagen conference.
D)
Its rough estimates are meant to draw the
attention of world leaders.
66. What does
Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the
Copenhagen conference?
A) How rich and
poor regions can share responsibility in curbing
global warming.
B) How human and economic
losses from climate change can be reduced.
C)
How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be
reduced on a global scale.
D) How rich
countries can better help poor regions reduce
climate hazards.
