雅思閱讀理解強化練習題
在雅思備考中，考生一定要注意多對練習題進行練習，提高自己的閱讀理解能力，爭取在考試上考取滿意的分數。下面，小編就為大家送上一篇雅思閱讀理解強化練習題，希望對大家有所幫助。
Hackers target the home front
1. One of the UK's leading banks has been forced to admit that organised hacking gangs have been targeting its executives. For the past year, Royal Bank of Scotland has been fighting systematic attempts to break into its computer systems from hackers who have sent personalised emails containing keyloggers to its senior management. This has included executives up to board level and is now the subject of a separate investigation by the Serious and Organised Crime Agency.
2. The hackers are homing in on the trend for people to work from home. The hackers make the assumption that the computers being used outside the work environment are more vulnerable than those protected by a corporate IT department.
Growing threat
3. For companies it is a growing threat as home working increases: a recent survey from the Equal Opportunities Commission found that more than 60% of the UK's population wants the option of flexible working.
4. And the hackers are employing increasingly sophisticated techniques. Each email they send is meticulously built to make it attractive to its target, who the criminals have carefully researched by trawling the internet for information. Once the email is composed, the malware is just as carefully designed: it is often modified to avoid detection by security software.
5. The keylogger contained in the email installs itself automatically and then collects details of logins and passwords from the unsuspecting user. This means that hackers can, using the usernames and passwords stolen by the keyloggers, connect to VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks, which many companies use to create an encrypted pathway into their networks.
6. Once inside a bank's network, the hackers can communicate directly with computers holding account information and manipulate funds.
7. Has this actually happened? In some cases sources claim that the login details of VPNs have been obtained and used though there has been no confirmation that any losses have occurred as a result. The attacks are not believed to have focused on RBS but to have been across the whole of the banking industry.
8. Royal Bank of Scotland said that the bank had suffered no losses as a result of the attacks and added: "RBS has extremely robust processes in place in order to protect our systems from fraud. Trojan email attacks are an industry-wide issue and are not isolated to a particular area or a particular bank."
9. It is not just banks that have been targets. Last year attempts were made to steal information from the Houses of Parliament using malicious email. Messagelabs, the company responsible for monitoring much of the email traffic of the government and big business for suspect software, said at the beginning of the year that criminals have been evolving more sophisticated techniques to attack corporate networks.
10. According to Mark Sunner, chief technology officer of Messagelabs, the number of malicious emails targeted at individuals has been increasing. Two years ago they were being seen once every two months, but now they are seeing one or two a day. This has been accompanied by an increase in quality in the creation of Trojans and spyware.
11. "The hackers are now aiming to take over computers, particularly those of home users. Some of the malicious software that we are routinely seeing for that purpose will have its own antivirus system built into it so that they can kill off the programs of their competitors."
Increased vigilance
12. Tony Neate, the head of Get Safe Online, a government-funded organisation set up to raise awareness among UK businesses of computer criminals, says: "There is now an attempt to target individuals within UK businesses - including the banking sector. What is happening is that crime is doing what it always does, which is look for the weakest link. Home working is where they perceive a weakness.
13. "This points to a need for increased vigilance and security by those working from home and by those responsible for letting them work from home. For home working to be effective, security needs to be as effective as if working in an office."

附：雅思閱讀技巧之完成句子題
1. 所填答案必須符合語法。
因為是填空，所以所填答案必須符合語法規定。同樣有語法要求的題型是摘要填空(SUMMARY)，而短問答則不太要求語法。
2. 絕大部分的答案來自原文原詞。
大部分的答案來自原文原詞，而且是原文中連續的幾個詞。
3. 答案字數不會很長。
絕大部分的題目要求中有字數限制，這時必須滿足要求。即使題目要求中沒有字數限制，答案字數也不會很長，一般不會超過四個字。如果發現找到的答案字數很多，應首先懷疑自己找錯答案的位置。
原文：IN ADDITION TO BASIC RESIDENCE FEES,MOST UNIVERSITIES MAKE MINOR ADDITIONA CHARES FOR ITEMS SUCH AS.
REGISTRATION FEES，DAMAGE DEPOSITS, AND POWER CHARGES.
題目：AS WELL AS THE BASIC COLLEGE RESIDENCE FEES, ADDITIONAL CHARGES ARE USUALLY MADE,BUT ARE DESCRIBES AS。。。
有的同學可能會答REGISTRATION FEES，DAMAGE DEPOSITS，AND POWER CHARGES，因為字數太多，所以應首先懷疑是錯誤的。正確答案應為MINOR。即附加費用被描述為是少量的、微不足道的。
4. 答案絕大部分是名詞短語。
所填答案絕大部分是名詞短語，對應原文相應句子的賓語。也有少數題目的答案是形容詞短語或副詞短語。
5. 要特別注意順序性。
由于這種題型定位比較難，所以要特別注意順序性的運用。一道題若找了很長時間、很多段落也沒有找到答案，可能是因為題目中的關鍵詞和原文中的相應詞對應不明顯，答案位置已經過去。可以先做下一道題。
這種題型比較難，所以通常出現為一篇文章的第二種或第三種題型。它與前面的題型也構成順序性，即這種題型第一題的答案位置絕大部分應在前一種題型的最后一題的答案位置之后。
