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 20th 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 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

A crucial point B cardinal role C fundamental rule D formidable force

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

A Teachers are not allowed to make copies of published materials for use by their students

B Plays written in the 16th century cannot be performed in theaters without permission

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 34: 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 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

D To defeat a common enemy

paragraph?

A Students form a study group so that all of them can improve their grades

B Members of a farming community share work and the food that they grow

The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms' bodies that are used grown larger Those

parts that are not tend to wither away It is an observed fact that when you excercise particular muscles they grow Those that are never used dimish By examining a man’s body, we can tell which muscles he uses and which he

doesn't, we may even be able to guess his profession or his reaction Enthusiasts of the "body- building"cult make

use of the principle of use and disuse to "build" their bodies, almost like a piece of sculpture into whatever

unnatural shape is demanded by fashion in this peculiar minority culture Muscles are not the only parts of the body that respond to use in this kind of way Walk barefoot and you acquire harder skin on your soles It is easy to tell a

farmer from a bank teller by looking at their hands alone The farmer’s hands are horny, hardenedby long exposure

to rough work The teller's hands are relatively soft

The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job of surviving in their world

progressively better during their lifetime as a result of living in that world Humans, through direct exposure to

sunlight, or lack of It, develop a skin color which equips them better to survive in the particular local conditions

Too much sunlight is dangerous Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skins are susceptible to skin cancer

Too little sunlight, on the other hand, leads to vitamin-D deficiency and rickets The brown pigment melanin which

is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a screen to protect the underlying tissues from the harmful

effects of further sunlight If a suntanned person moves to a less sunny climate, the melanin disappears and the

body is able to benefit from what little sun there is This can be represented as an instance of the principle of use

and disuse: skin goes brown when it is "used", and fades to white when it is not

B The changes that occur according to the principle of use and disuse

Mesopotamia (mordem-day Iraq), where the ancent Sumerian civilization was based, from around 3300 BC

onwards However, the first (32) alphabet was used by the Phoenicians around 1050BC Their alphabet

had 22 letters and it is estimated that it lasted for 1000 years The first two signs were called "aleph" and "beth",

which in Greek became "alpha" and "beta"* which gave us the modem word "alphabet" The modem European

alphabet is based on the Greek and (33) _ to other European countries under the

Romans A number of changes took place as time passed The Romans added the letter G, and the letter J and V

Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country’s

impressive population growth For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1966 In September 1966

Canada’s population passed the 20 million mark Most of this surging growth came from natural increase The

depression of the 1930s and the war had held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945 The

baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950s, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956 This rate of increase had been exceeded only once before in Canada’s history, in

the decade before 1911 when the prairies were being settled Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the

1950s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward earlier marriages

and an increase in the average size of families In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the worlk

After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline It continued falling until in 1966 it

stood at the lowest level in 25 years Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and

the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society Young people were staying at school longer more

women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising

living standards were cutting down the size of families It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with

the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial

Revolution

Although the growth in Canada’s population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase in the first half of the 1960s was only nine percent) another large population wave was coming over the horizon It would be composed

of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to 1957

Question 35 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Educational changes in Canadian society B Canada during the Second World War

C Population trends in postwar Canada D Standards of living in Canada

Question 36: The word “five” in bold refers to

Question 37: The word “surging” in bold is closest in meaning to
