乌鲁木齐市第八中学2022-2023学年 第一学期高三年级第一阶段考试 英语问卷 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A What is identity theft? Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information to take over your credit accounts, open new ones, access bank accounts, or commit many other crimes in your name and at your expense. When it strikes, the effects can be disastrous. What’s more, because it frequently involves no physical theft, identity theft may not be noticed by its victims until significant damage has already been done-often several months and thousands of pounds later. It’s estimated that more than 100, 000 people are affected by identity theft in the UK each year, costing the British economy over £1.3 billion annually. How does it happen? These are some of the ways crooks get hold of your personal information: • Fake emails You may receive an email seemingly from, say, your bank requesting that you follow a link and key information into a website that looks very similar to your bank’s own site but is in fact a fake. • Pretext phone calls A crook pretending to be an official from, for example, your bank may phone up asking you to give personal or account details as a security check. • Dishonest people Sometimes sales assistants,unbeknown(不知情) to you, swipe your card through a machine which records its details. At the workplace, a fellow employee can use your personal details fraudulently. How can you protect yourself? Be careful who you give your personal details to, and tear up documents like credit-card slips before you throw them away. Don’t make this serious crime easy for crooks! 1.

It is costly to individuals and society. 2. Identity theft may happen when________. A. you receive an email from your bank B. you give personal details to a fake website
