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.
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
4


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 plagiarus, 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 26: 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.

C. two drawings, created by two different artists, have the same images

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
6


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 34: What is the author’s main purpose in the first paragraph of the 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.

writing skills.
C. It is an ideal that can never be achieved.
D. It was confined to prehistoric times.
Question 37: 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.

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 socalled 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 prevented the possibility of sounds being
transmitted between the children. The results, (44)

less impressive, were more

or less the same. Dr. Sheldrake,

designed the study, believes

the biologist (45)

8


that the results are convincing enough to find out through further experiments
precisely how the staring effect might actually came about.
