answer to each of the questions.
Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else
that is included in one's possessions. Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals
with intangible forms of property. Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works,
for example books magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings,
photographs, music, choreography in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property.
Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes
the ownership of the creator. When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual
as a tangible object. However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing
that went into creating the articles. The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles
belongs to the authors, publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright. To copy
an entire book or a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will most
likely expect to be paid.
Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property. Music may be played by
anyone after it is published. However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee
called a royalty. A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays. On the other hand,
names, ideas and book titles are excepted. Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are
published in a book a painting or a musical work. Almost all artistic work created before the 20 th century
is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was passed.
The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy. Plagiarizing the
work of another person means passing it off as one's own. The word plagiarism is derived from the
Latin plaglarus, which means “abductor”. Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is
a joint effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying
royalties to the creator. Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can
duplicate a motion picture on videotape a computer program, or a book. Video cassette recorders
can be used by practically anyone to copy movies and television programs, and copying software has
become almost as easy as copying a book. Large companies zealously monitor their copyrights for
slogans, advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark
Question 29: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Legal rights of property owners B. Legal
ownership of creative work C. Examples of copyright piracy
D. Copying creating work for
profit
Question 30: The word “principle” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. crucial point
B. cardinal role
C. fundamental rule
D. formidable force
Question 31: Which of the following properties is NOT mentioned as protected by copyright? A. music
and plays
B. paintings and maps C. printed medium
D.
scientific discoveries
Question 32: It can be inferred from the passage that it is legal if ___. A. two songs, written by two
different composers, have the same melody B. two books, written by two different authors, have the
same titles
C. two drawings, created by two different artists, have the same images
D. two plays, created by two different playwrights, have the same plot and characters
Question 33: The phrase “infringing upon” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly
cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group
organization and attitudes.
In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains nearly
all of each individual's life. The rewards of the group's work are shared with each member. There is an
interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed. Means and goals become one, for
cooperation itself is valued.
While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation
is characteristic of many modem societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of
their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the
welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately
enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary prestige, or power. Business offices and
professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation.
In the third type called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared
work. The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is loose and
fragile. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks down when
the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking
cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is
sometimes used for this relationship.
Question 36: what is the author's main purpose in the first paragraph of to passage? A/ To urge readers
to cooperate more often B/ To offer a brief definition of cooperation C. To explain how cooperation
differs from competition and conflict D. To show the importance of group organization and attitudes

A. defined
B. agreed on
C. prized
D. set up

in the passage?
A. It is usually the first stage of cooperation achieved by a group of individuals attempting to cooperate
B. It is most commonly seen among people who have not yet developed reading and writing skills C. It
is an ideal that can never be achieved D. it was confined to prehistoric times
Question 39: According to the passage, why do people join groups that practice secondary cooperation?
A/ To experience the satisfaction of cooperation B/ To associate with people who have similar
backgrounds C/ To get rewards for themselves D. To defeat a common enemy
Question 40: Which of the following is NOT given as a name for the third type of cooperation? A. Tertiary
cooperation B. Antagonistic cooperation C. Accommodation
D. Latent
conflict

Stories about how people somehow know when they are being watched have been going around for
years However, few attempts have been made to investigate the phenomenon scientifically. Now, with
the completion of the largest ever study of the so- called staring effect, there is impressive evidence
that this is a recognizable and genuine sixth sense. The study involved hundreds of children. For the
experiments, they sat with their eyes (41) ___________ so they could not see, and with their backs to
other children, who were told to either stare at them or look away. Time and time again the results
showed that the children who could not see were able to tell when they were being stared at. In a total
of more than
18,000 trials (42) _____________ worldwide, the children correctly sensed when they
were being watched almost 70% of the time. The experiment was repeated with the added precaution of
putting the children who were being watched outside the room, (43) ____________ from the starters by
the windows. This was done just in case there was some pretending going on with the children telling
each other whether they were looking or not. This (44) _____________ the possibility of sounds being
