    Mock Exam
    Topic:01

    Read the text then do the activities that follow.

    Part One: Reading. (15 points)


    A. Comprehension. (08 points)
    The Internet has become an essential channel for e-commerce. Its instant global scope and anonymity
    facilitate selling any product. Counterfeiters are exploiting the unlimited opportunities offered by the Web to
    advertise and sell fake products such as clothing, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products or electronics. Despite
    these products looking like a bargain, they pose serious risks to people’s safety and health, as well as
    damaging brands and businesses.

    There is a growing number of e-commerce sites offering knock-off products, many advertised via social
    media and search engines. Counterfeiters have become smarter at promoting these fakes and use advanced
    marketing techniques such as paid search ads or unsolicited e-mails. In a digital environment, without the
    physical product to look at and feel, it can be more difficult to spot the differences. Some illicit websites
    selling counterfeits are so sophisticated that it is hard to detect that they are frauds.

    Some fake products might contain harmful substances and toxic levels of chemicals that can result in
    heart attacks, coma or even death. Counterfeiting causes substantial losses to legitimate brands and
    businesses, sometimes even leading to bankruptcy. Yet, its damage goes beyond revenues. Many criminals
    use the earnings from advertising and selling counterfeit goods online to fund other types of serious
    organised crime such as human trafficking, money laundering or labour exploitation.

    Adapted from Europol. (2019). Awareness Campaign on Online Counterfeiting.
