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 from 61 to 70.
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 plagiarus,
4
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 61: 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 62: The word “extended” in line 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. explicated
B. exposed
C. guaranteed
D. granted
Question 63: It can be inferred from the passage that copyright law is intended to protect
A. the user’s ability to enjoy an artistic work
B. the creator’s ability to profit from the work
C. paintings and photographs from theft
D. computer software and videos from being copied
Question 64: The word “principle” in line 14 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. crucial point
B. cardinal role
C. fundamental rule
D. formidable force
Question 65: 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

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 from 71 to 80.
It takes a long time to raise a family of owlets, so the great horned owl begins early in the year. In January
and February, or as late as March in the North, the male calls to the female with a resonant hoot. The female
is larger than the male. She sometimes reaches a body length of twenty-two to twenty-four inches, with a
wingspread up to fifty inches. To impress her, the male does a strange courtship dance. He bobs. He bows. He
ruffles his feathers and hops around with an important air. He flutters from limb to limb and makes flying
sorties into the air. Sometimes he returns with an offering of food. They share the repast, after which she joins
the dance, hopping and bobbing about as though keeping time to the beat of an inner drum.
Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree or even to occupy the deserted
nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark and lined with leaves and
feathers. Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground. The mother lays two or three
round, dull white eggs. Then she stoically settles herself on the nest and spreads her feather skirts about her to
protect her precious charges from snow and cold.
5
It is five weeks before the first downy white owlet pecks its way out of the shell. As the young birds feather
out, they look like wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical expressions. They clamor for food and
keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and beetles. Later in the season baby crows
are taken. Migrating songsters, waterfowl, and game birds all fall prey to the hungry family. It is nearly ten
weeks before fledglings leave the nest to search for their own food. The parent birds weary of family life by
November and drive the young owls away to establish hunting ranges of their own.
