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?

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.
Question 44. Which of the following could best serve as the topic of the passage?

Question 45. What does the word "lure" in paragraph 2 mostly means ________ ?
A. attract B. entice C. avert D. obviate
Question 46. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ________ .
A. fake emails and false websites B. phisher
C. credit card number D. people
Question 47. 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.
Question 48. The word “revealed” in paragraph 4 mostly means ________ .
A. determined B. concealed C. suppressed D. showed
Question 49. What suggestion is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A. Keep calm and be careful with urgent financial messages without your name.
B. Be cautious with any email without the name sender
C. Ask your bank or company if you receive any upsetting or exciting email.
D. You shouldn't answer any message relate to your personal financial information.
Question 50. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. It's not easy to track down phishers since their website are false
B. Recognizing the differences between the true and Take messages will help innocent people
protect their information.
C. Phishers mostly steal personal information of the wealthiest people.
D. Successful phishers may steal people's personal information from false international banks,
online sellers and credit card companies.
