Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.The UK has a vast variety of higher education opportunities to offer students with over 100 universities offering various degree programs for students from the UK and around the world. In the UK about one-third of all students go on to some form of higher education and this number is well over 50% for students from Scotland. This makes competition for places very fierce and so it is advised to apply early for courses. In the UK most undergraduate degree programs take three years to finish; however, the "sandwich course" is increasing in popularity, which is four years and involves one year in the workplace (normally in your third year). In Scotland, the courses are four years in length for undergraduate programs. For graduate or masters programs, they are generally shorter in length and undertaken after graduation of your undergraduate program. Some professional degrees like medicine, veterinary, law, etc. have longer programs that can be as much as five years. From 2007, universities in the UK are allowed to charge students from the UK up to £3,070 per year (depending on the school and location). For students from the EU, you will also only have the pay the same fees as students from the UK, but international students from the of the world will have to pay the full school fees which will vary depending on the school. These fees for international students can range anywhere from £4,000 per year right up to £18,000 per year or more. Choosing the right school is dependent on a large number of factors such as: • Location of the school? • How much it costs? • Size of the school? • Access to home comforts? Place of worship, home foods? • Courses available? (Source: http://www.intemationalstudent.com/study_uk)

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.
Nowadays, most people realize that it’s risky to use credit card numbers online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords and government ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that may not be true! A new kind of attack is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from innocent web surfers. This new kind of attack is called “phishing.” Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing,” and it implies that a thief is trying to lure people into giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use fake emails and false websites to con people into revealing credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phishers may convince as many as five percent of the people they contact to respond and give away their personal financial information. Is this really a big problem? Actually, tricking five percent of the online population is huge! Currently, more than 350 million people have access to the Internet, and seventy-five percent of those Internet users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been estimated that phishers send more than three billion scam messages each year. Even by tricking only five percent of the people, phishers can make a lot of money. Since there is so much money to make through this kind of scam, it has caught the interest of more than just small-time crooks. Recently, police tracked down members of an organized phishing group in Eastern Europe, who had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from people online. The group created official-looking email messages requesting people to update their personal information at an international bank’s website. However, the link to the bank in the message actually sent people to the phishers’ fake website. To make matters worse, further investigation revealed that this group had connections to a major crime gang in Russia. How can innocent people protect themselves? Above all, they have to learn to recognize email that has been sent by a phisher. Always be wary of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but fake, statements in their emails so that people will reply right away. Also, messages from phishers will not address recipients by name because they really don’t know who the recipients are yet. On the other hand, valid messages from your bank or other companies you normally deal with will typically include your personal name.
Which of the following could best serve as the topic of the passage?
A. Innocent web surfers and online risks.
Password and government ID numbers on the Internet
Valuable information shared on the internet.
A new type of internet attack.
What does the word "lure" in paragraph 2 mostly means _________?
A. attract
entice
avert
obviate
The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ___________.
fake emails and false websites
phisher
credit card number
D. people
According to paragraph 3, why are only 5% of online users tricked a big problem?
A. Because these 5% of internet users are the wealthiest people among online population.
B. Because the number of scam messages sent to these users is more than three billion.
C. Because the number of online population is myriad and three fourths of them live in rich nation.
D. Because the personal information these people are tricked is financial.
The word “revealed” in paragraph 4 mostly means ___________.
determined
concealed
suppressed
D. showed
What suggestion is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
Keep calm and be careful with urgent financial messages without your name.
B. Be cautious with any email without the name sender
Ask your bank or company if you receive any upsetting or exciting email.
You shouldn't answer any message relate to your personal financial information.
What can be inferred from the passage?
It's not easy to track down phishers since their website are false
Recognizing the differences between the true and Take messages will help innocent people protect their information.
Phishers mostly steal personal information of the wealthiest people.
Successful phishers may steal people's personal information from false international banks, online sellers and credit card companies.
