correct answer to each of the questions from 16 to 25.
Line 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,
5 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
10 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
15 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
Bộ đề thi thử thpt quốc gia môn tiếng anh các tỉnh
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 20th
century is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was
20 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 plagiarus, which means “abductor." Piracy may be an a a 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
25 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.

Line For many people, mushrooms are strange, colorless, incomprehensible plants that should be
avoided. Quaint tales and scary stories surround mushrooms because some are extremely
poisonous. In reality, however, mushrooms are fungi that are simple plants without developed
roots, leaves, stems, flowers, or seeds. They grow in wetlands, grassy meadows, and woods.
Certain types of mushrooms
5 are delicious and are included as ingredients in many recipes and trendy snacks. For example, morels
are considered one of the choicest foods, and truffles, related to morels, are highly prized in
Europe. Their shape is tubelike, and they remain entirely underground, a foot or more below the
surface. In the old days, dogs and pigs were specially trained to hunt them by scent.
Bộ đề thi thử thpt quốc gia môn tiếng anh các tỉnh
Mushrooms stand out among other plants because they have no chlorophyll and cannot generate
10 their own nourishment. The part of the fungus that rises above the ground is the fruiting body, and
the vegetative part that produces growth is hidden under the ground. It can be usually dug up in the
form of dense, white tangled filaments, which, depending on the food supply and moisture, can live
for hundreds of years. In fact, mushrooms, as well as the rest of the fungus genus species, are one
of the few remaining simple plants that are believed to be among the oldest living organisms. When
their
15 environment is not conducive to growth, filaments stop proliferating and can lie dormant for dozens
of years.
Although mushrooms are rich in flavor and texture, they have little food value. Picking
mushrooms requires a thorough knowledge of environments where they are most likely to grow
and an ability to tell between edible and poisonous plants. Most mushrooms thrive in temperatures
from 68° to 86° (F)
20 with plenty of moisture, and nearly complete darkness produces the best crop. The entire mushroom
should be picked, the stem, the cap, and whatever part that is underground. Brightly colored
mushroom caps usually indicate that the plant is not fit for consumption, and the more the
mushroom attracts attention, the more poisonous it is. Mushrooms with beautiful red or orange
spotted caps that grow under large trees after a good rain are particularly poisonous. If milky or

white juices seep from a break in the body of plant, chances are it should not be picked. Old
mushrooms with brown caps are also not very safe.
36. In line 7, the word “Their” refers to
A. morels B. foods C. truffles D. morels and truffles

B. Mushrooms should be treated as all other plants.
C. Because they are poisonous, people should stay away from mushrooms.

Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women , says that this is a
stereotype . According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more in private situations , where they
use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public
situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that
we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their play
includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more
doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk
very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents
use more language with their girls .Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters , they use more
descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness,
with daughters than with sons.

A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20
years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.
The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is
very obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-
protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid
leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a
radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or
computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under
the doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the

intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet,
desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from
approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has
decided to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs
windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the
drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No
matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can
manage to get through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.
What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should
have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a
burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the
trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and,
particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure.
When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are
genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an
intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to telephone the police and
wait for help.
71. A well-protected house …………
A. is less likely to be burgled. B. is regarded as a challenge by most criminals.
C. is a lot of bother to maintain. D. is very unlikely to be burgled.
72. According to the writer, we should …………
A. avoid leaving our house empty. B. only go out when we have to.
C. always keep the curtains closed. D. give the impression that our house is occupied when we
go out.
73. The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot …………
A. is predictable. B. is useful.
C. is imaginative. D. is where you always find a spare key.

74. What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4?
A. isolated B. populous C. dissatisfying D. depressing
75.What word best replaces “aforementioned” in paragraph 5?
A. foreseen B. predicted C. foresaid D. forethought

Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women , says that this is a
stereotype . According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more in private situations , where they
use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public
situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that
we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their play
includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more
doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk
very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents
use more language with their girls .Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters , they use more

descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness,
with daughters than with sons.

Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women , says that this is a
stereotype . According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more in private situations , where they
use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public
situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that
we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their play
includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more
doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk

very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents
use more language with their girls .Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters , they use more
descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness,
with daughters than with sons.

A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20

years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.
The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is
very obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-
protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid
leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a
radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or
computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under
the doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the
intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet,
desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from
approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has
decided to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs
windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the
drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No
matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can
manage to get through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.
What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should
have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a
burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the
trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and,
particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure.
When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are
genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an
intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to telephone the police and
wait for help.
