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 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

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. To show the importance of group organization and attitudes

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 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 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 transmitted between the children. The results though less
impressive, were more or less the same. Dr Sheldrake, the biologist who designed the study, believes that the result are
convincing enough to find out through futher experiments precisely how the staring effect might actually (45)

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.
Question 18: What does the pasage mainly discuss?
A. How the principles of use and disuse change people's concepts of themselves.
B. The changes that occur according to the principle of use and disuse
C. The way in which people change themselves to conform to fashion.
D. The effects of the sun on the principle of use and disuse.

A. split B. rot C. perish D. shrink

A. organisms B. bodies C. parts D. muscles

THE HISTORY OF WRITING
The development of writing (30) ________ a huge difference to the world and might see it as the beginning of the
media. Pieces of pottery with marks on that are probably numbers have been discovered in China that date from around
4000 BC. Hieroglyphics and other forms of "picture writing" developed in the (31) ________ around 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 were
unknown to people in Shakespear's time.
If we (34) ________ the history of punctuation, we also find some interesting facts. The Romans used to write
quaesto at the end of a sentence in order to show that it was a Question, they started to write Qo in place of the whole

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for
each of the blanks.
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.

Read the passage and choose A, B, c or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In
many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of
communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are
concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there
has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such
ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones.
Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modem scanning equipment. In one case, a
traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks.
He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day,
every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's
doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect
very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but
they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your
regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones
can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that
says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

American music, in most of its various forms, can be traced back to the music of the earliest African- Americans.
Even though these Americans came here under the worst of circumstances, they still brought with them traditions, and
developed new traditions of their own, that have grown into what is recognized around the world today as American
music.
Musicians, like other artists, are usually quick to give credit where credit is due. Just as a writer quotes his sources,
a musician credits those musicians who inspired him. In the case of the early African - Americans that is not always
easy. Many of the slaves who brought musical traditions from Africa will never be known by name. No one wrote their
history. Many of the slaves who sang work songs in the fields will never be known by name No one wrote their history
either.
However, there is a lot that we do know.
The first well-recognized form of African-American music was spirituals. Spirituals are religious songs They are
songs that tell a story or express emotions. Spirituals have a strong rhythm. They are often sung by a group, sometimes
with a leader who sings a line or two alone and a chorus that sings the refrain. Spirituals originated in the Southern
United States. Spirituals sung by slaves often expressed the hope for freedom that was so important in their lives. Well
know spirituals include "Go Down Moses," "Deep River, " and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot."
After slavery ended, spirituals began to spread to other parts of the United States. Harry Thacker Burleigh was one
of the first singers to perform spirituals on stage in a concert. Marian Anderson, well known for her classical singing,
helped spirituals to gain a wider audience too. Spirituals influenced the development of another well-known form of
American music - the blues.
The blues were a more individual style of music than spirituals. Blues were often sung solo, and sometimes they
were accompanied by guitar music. As the name suggests, the blues were often about sadness and facing troubles.
However, the blues could also be funny, positive, and even defiant. One blues singer, loved for her strong, beautiful
voice, was Bessie Smith. Another early blues musician was w. C. Handy. Handy was not only a musician, he also
wrote music, promoted concerts, and published blues songs.
During the time that the blues were spreading across the country, another style of music was also quickly gaining in
popularity. Ragtime was energetic music with a complicated, syncopated beat. Often played on the piano, ragtime was
the latest and most sophisticated in American popular music. The best-known ragtime musician was probably Scott
Joplin, who wrote many hit ragtime pieces for the piano including "Maple Leaf Rag. ”
Eventually, elements from all of these forms of music and more came back together. In their own kind of melting
pot, African rhythms, slave work songs, spirituals, blues, ragtime, and other influences recombined to form the
beginnings of that truly American art form - jazz. In the late 1800’s jazz was just beginning, but not long after the turn
of the century, it would be the most popular American music. It would go on from there to worldwide popularity. Jazz
would branch out into many forms, and it would influence future styles of American music.
Many musicians today credit earlier musicians such as Scott Joplin or Bessie Smith with inspiring their music. It’s
a shame that they can’t also name the earliest African-Americans who really began the traditions that led to the
American music of today.
