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 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, 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

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 preliterature societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modern 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 54: 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
Question 55: The word cherished in paragraph is closest in meaning to _
A defined B agreed on C prized D set up

MODERN SURGERY
The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals and j anesthetics Patients not often believe they really need surgery - cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs
In the early years of the twentieth century there was little specialisation in surgery A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time Today the situation is different, operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of 60 years ago The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended orreplaced A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation
The scope of surgery has increased remarkably Its safety has increased too The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations
Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible They include the replacement of damaged blood vessels with stimulated ones made of plastic; the replacement of heart valves with plastic substitutes; the transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye; the invention of the artificial kidney to clean the blood of poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very long operations All these things open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery
(20)'Spare parts' surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream of the distant future As yet, surgery is not ready for such miracles In the meantime, you can be happy if your doctor says to you 'Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.'
Question 61: Most people are afraid of being operated on
-A in spite of improvements in modern surgery B because they think modern drugs are dangerous C because they not believe they need anesthetics D unless it is an emergency operation
Question 62: Surgeons in the early years of the 20th century, compared with modern ones, -A had less to learn about surgery B need more knowledge
C could perform every operation known today D were more trusted by their patients
Question 63: Open heart surgery has been possible
-A only in the last sixty years B from prehistoric times C since the nineteenth century D since the invention of valves
Question 64: A patient can still live a comfortable and satisfactory life, even after the removal of - A his brain B his lungs C a major organ such as the stomach or one lung D part of the stomach or the whole liver
Question 65: Modern surgeons
-A not like to perform operations of the new type B are not as highly qualified as the older ones
C are obliged to specialise more than their predecessors D often perform operations which are not really needed
Question 66: The word irrational in the passage can best be replacedby
-A logical B understandable C unreasonable D unusual
Question 67: Some of the more astonishing innovations in modern surgery include A ear, nose and throat transplants B valveless plastic hearts C leg transplants D plastic heart valves
Question 68: The main difficulty with organ transplants is -A it is difficult to find organs of exactly the same size B they body's tendency to reject alien tissues
C only identical twins can give permission for their organs to be exchanged D the patient is not allowed to use drugs after them
Question 69:'Spare parts' surgery
-A will be available in the near future B is only possible for animals
C has been replaced by modern drug treatments D has yet to become a reality
Question 70: You can be happy if your surgeon can operate because it means -A he thinks your condition may be curable B he is a good doctor
C he knows you will survive D you are getting better already
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 71-80.
PANDEMIC
Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources So in a way, diseases are nature's way of keeping the Earth in balance But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight In 1918, a new type of flu virus appeared Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a few things in common
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily Second, while they may kill many people, they generally not kill people very quickly A good example of this would be the Marburg virus The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease In addition, it is deadly About 70-80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of people The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread

MODERN SURGERY
The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals and j anesthetics Patients not often believe they really need surgery - cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs
In the early years of the twentieth century there was little specialisation in surgery A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time Today the situation is different, operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of 60 years ago The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended orreplaced A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation
The scope of surgery has increased remarkably Its safety has increased too The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations
Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible They include the replacement of damaged blood vessels with stimulated ones made of plastic; the replacement of heart valves with plastic substitutes; the transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye; the invention of the artificial kidney to clean the blood of poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very long operations All these things open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery
One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants Until a few years ago, no person, except an identical twin, was able to accept into his body the tissues of smother person without reacting against them and eventually killing them Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of x-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more Kidney's have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins Heart and lung transplants have been reasonably successful in animals, though rejection problems in humans have yet to be solved
'Spare parts' surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream of the distant future As yet, surgery is not ready for such miracles In the meantime, you can be happy if your doctor says to you 'Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.'
Question 61: Most people are afraid of being operated on
-A in spite of improvements in modern surgery B because they think modern drugs are dangerous C because they not believe they need anesthetics D unless it is an emergency operation
Question 62: Surgeons in the early years of the 20th century, compared with modern ones,
-A had less to learn about surgery B need more knowledge
C could perform every operation known today D were more trusted by their patients
Question 63: Open heart surgery has been possible
(25)Question 64: A patient can still live a comfortable and satisfactory life, even after the removal of - A his brain B his lungs C a major organ such as the stomach or one lung
D part of the stomach or the whole liver
Question 65: Modern surgeons
-A not like to perform operations of the new type B are not as highly qualified as the older ones
C are obliged to specialise more than their predecessors
D often perform operations which are not really needed
Question 66: The word irrational in the passage can best be replacedby
-A logical B understandable C unreasonable D unusual
Question 67: Some of the more astonishing innovations in modern surgery include B ear, nose and throat transplants B valveless plastic hearts C leg transplants D plastic heart valves
Question 68: The main difficulty with organ transplants is -A it is difficult to find organs of exactly the same size
B they body's tendency to reject alien tissues
C only identical twins can give permission for their organs to be exchanged D the patient is not allowed to use drugs after them
Question 69:'Spare parts' surgery
-A will be available in the near future B is only possible for animals
C has been replaced by modern drug treatments D has yet to become a reality Question 70: You can be happy if your surgeon can operate because it means
-A he thinks your condition may be curable B he is a good doctor
C he knows you will survive D you are getting better already
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 71-80.
PANDEMIC
Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources So in a way, diseases are nature's way of keeping the Earth in balance But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight In 1918, a new type of flu virus appeared Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a few things in common
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily Second, while they may kill many people, they generally not kill people very quickly A good example of this would be the Marburg virus The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease In addition, it is deadly About 70-80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of people The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common Doctors carefully
monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics For example, in 2002 and 2003, doctors carefully watched SARS Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic
