(27) ________. The size of modern televisions along with the vast improvement in picture quality as a

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.
The Internet is the largest library in the history of the world and a great resource for anyone
seeking information. But doing research on the Internet is not without its risks. In recent years,
plagiarism from online sources has become a serious problem, especially among students.
Original written work and information are protected by copyright laws, like original inventions.
Therefore, when you reference or use information you find while doing research, you should always
give credit to the person or organization that produced it. To plagiarize is to use ideas that are not
your own without giving credit to the original source, or to claim that someone else's ideas are your
own. It is akin to stealing someone else's work. For example, if a student reads three articles and
uses ideas from the articles to make his arguments in an essay without quoting or citing from the
original work, the student is plagiarizing.
Internet-related plagiarism has become such a problem because it is so easy to find and copy
information online. There are thousands of resources for students who wish only to copy or cheat.
However, the Internet also makes it easier for educators to check for plagiarism. Often a simple
Internet search for a quote will be enough to expose copying. Some educators are more concerned
3
about unintended plagiarism. Because copying and pasting is so easy, it is becoming more and more
common for well-meaning students to mix up source material with their original ideas. While this
kind of plagiarism usually happens innocently, it is still an offense.
(Adapted from Online Sources)
Question 30: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Enormous efforts made by educators to manage their students’ online works.
B. Plagiarism from online sources: A proactive approach to gleaning information.
C. Plagiarism in Education: An unexpected result from the ubiquity of the Internet.
D. The prevalence of plagiarizing one’s works at school among students nowadays.
Question 31: According to paragraph 2, when using one’s work, you should ___________.
A. ask for the owner’s permission B. inform the owner about your copy
C. appreciate the work of the owner D. give the owner an amount of money
Question 32: The word “It” in paragraph 2 refers to ___________.
A. organization B. credit C. information D. research
Question 33: The phrase “akin to” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___________.

Question 34: Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage?
A. There are many ways for students to copy one’s work from online sources.
B. The combination between student’s ideas and source material is illicit.
C. The internet is something that has both advantages and disadvantages.
D. Copyright laws are created to protect original works of authorship.
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.
In our connected globalised world, the languages which dominate communications and business,
Mandarin, Hindi, English, Spanish and Russian among others, are placing small languages spoken in
remote places under increasing pressure. Fewer and fewer people speak languages such as Liki,
Taushiro and Dumi as their children shift away from the language of their ancestors towards
languages which promise education, success and the chance of a better life. While to many parents
this may appear a reasonable choice, giving their off spring the opportunity to achieve the sort of
prosperity they see on television, the children themselves oft en lose touch with their roots.
However, in many places the more reasonable option of bilingualism, where children learn to speak
both a local and a national language, is being promoted. This gives hope that many endangered
languages will survive, allowing people to combine their links to local tradition with access to wider
world culture.
While individuals are free to choose if they wish to speak a minority language, national
governments should be under no obligation to provide education in an economically unproductive
language, especially in times of budget constraints. It is generally accepted that national languages
unite and help to create wealth while minority regional languages divide. Furthermore, governments
4
have a duty to ensure that young people can fulfill their full potential, meaning that state education
must provide them with the ability to speak and work in their national language and so equip them
to participate responsibly in national affairs. People whose language competence does not extend
beyond the use of a regional tongue have limited prospects. This means that while many people may
feel a sentimental attachment to their local language, their government’s position should be one
of benign neglect, allowing people to speak the language, but not acting to prevent its eventual
disappearance.
Many PhD students studying minority languages lack the resources to develop their language
skills, with the result that they have to rely on interpreters and translators to communicate with
speakers of the language they are studying. This has a detrimental effect on the quality of their
research. At the same time, they have to struggle against the frequently expressed opinion that
minority languages serve no useful purpose and should be allowed to die a natural death. Such a
view fails to take into account the fact that a unique body of knowledge and culture, built up over
thousands of years, is contained in a language and that language extinction and species extinction are
different facets of the same process. They are part of an impending global catastrophe which is
beginning to look unavoidable.
(Adapted from Complete Advanced)
Question 35: Which best serves as the main topic of the passage?

B. The domination of business languages all over the world.
C. The shift from regional to national languages in many countries.
D. The benefits of national languages in modern world.
Question 36: According to paragraph 1, why do many parents consider the change towards national
languages a sensible choice?
A. Because not many people nowadays are familiar with the language of their ancestors.
B. Because children nowadays can learn to speak both a local and a national language.
C. Because their children may have a chance to achieving education, success and better living
condition.
D. Because their children may help to combine their links to local tradition with access to wider
world culture.
Question 37: The word “This” in paragraph 1 refers to ___________.
A. the more reasonable option
B. the place where children can use bilingualism
