Have you ever paid for educational podcasts (播客) or live videos Ask some people and most of them will say yes. “Pay-for-knowledge” has been more and more fashionable these years. The contents of these “pay-for-knowledge” products are from language learning to gardening or baby-caring. Everything you think of can be found online at this moment. “Pay-for-knowledge” is on the rise(兴起).
Why is “pay-for-knowledge” industry developing so rapidly First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份) check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account (帐户) can buy “pay-for-knowledge” products. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On one hand, people hope for more useful information. On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of experts who serve famous companies and universities.

The industry of “pay-for-knowledge” has proved to be lucrative. It promises possibilities of turning information into money.

For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as “How to be an Industry’s Expert in 5 Hours” and “15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating(欣赏) Classical Music”, which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self-growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least. In other words, with or without these courses, they can make it
anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves.
In general, the best is the one that suits you most. “Pay-for-knowledge” may be used as a good start for self-growth. Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not come true.
36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage

A. The history of its rise. B. The problems of its products.
C. The advantages of its products. D. The causes of its rise.
39. The underlined phrase “be lucrative” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A. produce lots of money B. get much information
C. win great respect D. enjoy self-growth
40. The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A. recommend the “pay-for-knowledge” products to people
B. advise everyone to learn knowledge by themselves online
C. remind people to choose “pay-for-knowledge” products wisely
D. teach parents how to buy some online courses for their children
【答案】36. B 37. D 38. D 39. A 40. C
【解析】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍“为知识付钱”产业兴起的原因及产生的问题,提醒读者要理智地选择产品。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The contents of these ‘pay-for-knowledge’ products are from language learning to
gardening or baby-caring. Everything you think of can be found online at this moment.”可推出“知识付费”产品可以为人们提供不同种类的课程。B选项表述正确。故选B。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Why is ‘pay-for-knowledge’ industry developing so rapidly First, its development is based on the Internet. ... Second, people are afraid to miss any information. ...

Shortly after the Shenzhou XIII crew (全体组员) returned to Earth in April, the door of Tiangong space station
opened again! On June 5, it welcomed another three Chinese astronauts—Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe.
This is China’s Shenzhou XIVmission, the ninth manned spaceflight (载人航天飞行) for China, according to China Daily. The astronauts will stay 400 kilometers above the Earth for six months. During the Shenzhou XIII mission on Tiangong, astronauts tested many key technologies. This was to help the proper “construction team (施工队)”, the Shenzhou XIV crew, to complete the bulking of Tiangong.
The crew have a busy schedule (时间表). They will work with ground controllers to connect the Wentian and Mengtian space labs (实验室) with the Tianhe core module (核心舱). Wentian will be launched (发射) in July and Mengtian in October. Astronauts will use a robotic arm to move the labs to their final position. “There will likely be technical uncertainties that the astronauts may have to deal with,” said Pang Zhihao, who worked at the China Academy of Space Technology. Once completed, the station will form a T-shaped structure.
The crew will also enter the two space labs for the first time. They will install equipment (安装仪器) and do scientific experiments. They will also do two to three spacewalks. We can also look forward to fun lectures given by the astronauts!
When their mission is completed around the end of this year, the Tiangong space station will become fully operational. The crew will meet another three astronauts from the Shenzhou XV mission. The six astronauts will work together for five to 10 days inside Tiangong, before the Shenzhou XIV crew fly back to Earth in December.
The Tiangong space station is expected to operate (工作) for up to 15 years, officials said, noting that it will also be open to foreign astronauts.
37. The underlined word “mission” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A. important task B. travel experience

As an English saying goes “Where there’s tea, there’s hope.” A Chinese saying goes that “Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar (醋) and tea are the seven necessary things to begin a day.”
Tea is popular all over the world. It is said that nearly 5.8 million tons of tea was produced around the world in 2018. In Turkey (土耳其), tea has become the most popular hot drink. This is because that coffee costs have risen and tea
has become a cheaper drink. People in Ireland drink cups of hot tea to get through the grey, foggy winters. Tea drinking in the UK began in the eighteenth century. Traders introduced the drink from China as something very expensive. But now tea is a common drink in the UK.
In order to celebrate the popular drink, the United Nations has designated (指定) May 21 as International Tea Day. This year, many countries celebrated the first International Tea Day, including China.
According to the UN, tea is more than a hot drink. It’s a big part of many cultures around the world. You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests. The British tradition of afternoon tea is an important part of that country’s culture.
In some other countries, tea is also offered during gatherings and talks.
In addition to (除了) its cultural importance, tea is also a medicine. It has been used from old times to modern day. “Tea is cold and lowers the fire.” Chinese Ming Dynasty herbalist (草药师) Li Shizhen once said. It is also found today that tea can prevent heart disease and so on.
Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf, tea is not just a drink. It’s a social custom (习俗) and also a magic medicine, a link (联系) to the past and a way of life.

I saved the grain (谷物) carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.
Then when my crop bore its fruit, the birds found it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot (射击) them but as soon as I walked away, they came back. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would make the birds afraid fly away, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.
With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. I needed something new to store the fine grain because it ran through my baskets easily. Finally, it took me nearly two months to dry two ugly pots (容器) — one for rice and one for wheat.
Next I formed a clay oven (黏土烤炉) and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake (烘烤) bread. I made and baked bread in my oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.
Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore (探索) the island by sea.
I still decided to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.
When it was time to set off, I realized I had made my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of work.
I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.

A yearbook is a tradition of high school life in the United States. The book includes the name, photo, and signature(签名) of each student in your final year, so that you can remember who you went to school with. A 15-year-old girl Catherine Cook and her brother David wanted more than this. They thought, “Why not have a yearbook online You could learn about people’s music tastes, the movies they like, and so on.”
Catherine thought of the name , and the logo(标志). To advertise the website, Catherine and David wore T-shirts with the website logo to school and soon hundreds of their schoolmates became fans of the website. She spent many evenings talking on the phone to programmers in India, and collecting ideas from her
schoolmates. Then her older brother Geoff came up with the money to start up the website.
My Yearbook users can join in the fun by sending messages and “collecting” friends. They can watch the same videos from films and TV programs, and share music, photos, homework and study guides. Some teens feel they can make friends easily online. Chatting online helps some shy people not to feel left out.
Users can also make “Lunch Money” by doing activities on the website. They can then spend their Lunch Money on gifts, or donate it to charities. They have saved 0.3 km of rainforest, cleaned up million kg of CO , sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 20,000 kg of rice for people without enough food.
Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from finishing their schoolwork successfully, and going on to university where they still spent 50 hours a week on the website.

Once upon a time, people could not write and they had no books. But they had stories.
The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on flat sheets made from papyrus (纸莎草) plants. They glued many papyrus sheets together to make one long strip (条). Then they rolled the strip around a stick to make a scroll. People in other areas also used parchment (羊皮纸) instead.
In ancient China, books looked a little different. People there first carved (雕刻) words into bone or tortoise shell (龟壳). Later they used ink to write on strips of bamboo or silk. Then the Chinese invented (发明) paper. The first paper was made from waste cloth, but later plant materials were also used. The invention spread slowly across the world, reaching Europe in the 1100s. Then people used paper to make early books.
But all these early books still had one big problem. Every single book had to be copied out by hand. If there were pictures, each page had to be painted by hand, one at a time. This made books rare and expensive — though also very beautiful.
The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little. In 1040, a man named Bi Sheng invented movable type printing (活字印刷). Movable type worked by carving a single Chinese word on a block of wood or clay. These could then be together with other words to create sentences, or whole pages.
In the 1400s Johannes Gutenberg of Germany invented a new way of printing. It used movable type — metal letters that could be arranged (排列) and rearranged to form words. It also used a machine called a press. Gutenberg’s inventions made printing became faster and easier.
As more books became easy to get, more people learnt to read. In the past, books were a luxury only the rich could buy. But with the printing press, they soon became a treasure everyone could enjoy.
36. What did the ancient Chinese first use as paper
A. Papyrus sheets. B. Parchment.
C. Bone or tortoise shell. D. Strips of bamboo or silk.
37. Why were early books rare and expensive
A. Because the invention of paper spread slowly across the world.
B. Because every book including pictures had to be copied out by hand.
C. Because ancient people didn’t have enough money to buy books.
D. Because people in ancient Europe didn’t invent paper like the Chinese.
38. Who invented the machine called a press
A. The ancient Egyptians. B. The ancient Chinese.
C. Bi Sheng. D. Johannes Gutenberg.
39. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “luxury”
A. something old B. something new
C. something expensive D. something cheap
40. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. The invention of parchment. B. The invention of paper.
C. The invention of movable type printing. D. The invention of Chinese words.
