三、阅读理解（每题2分）
Have
you
ever
paid
for
educational
podcasts
or
live
videos？
Ask
a
woman
on
the
street
and
the
chances
are
high
that1
she
will
say
yes.
These
years
has
seen
Chinas
ride
on
the
crest
of
a
trend—“paying
for
knowledge，”
an
emergent
economy
enjoying
its
popularity
in
its
prosperity.The
content
of
its
products
ranges
from
economics，
psychology，and
finance
to
skills
of
talking，
body-building，
and
baby-caring.
The
compass
is
so
overarching
that
everything
one
possibly
thinks
of
or
something
never
occurs
to
ones
mind
is
probably
on
platforms
online
right
at
this
moment.
Then
what
accounts
for
this
craze
on
“knowledge”？
First
of
all，
the
Internet
serves
as
a
precondition.Compared
with
traditional
business
models，
online
business
has
toppled
the
tyranny
of
space
and
the
barriers
to
entry
are
much
lowered.With
a
fast
network
and
a
smartphone，
anyone
having
passed
the
identity
check
upon
online
platforms
can
apply
to
be
an
online
teacher，
and
anyone
with
an
online
account
can
pay
for
“knowledge
products”
he/she
wants
at
an
affordable
price.
Meanwhile，
in
this
age
of
information，
a
fear
of
missing
out
is
generated
by
information
explosion
and
information
asymmetry.
On
one
hand，
there
is
ever
more
desire
for
focused
information
that
is
useful
and
relevant.
On
the
other
hand，
such
information
is
usually
at
the
hands
of
professionals
and
experts
serving
well-known
companies
and
schools
with
high
walls.
Together，the
significance
of
being
well-informed
stands
out.
Moreover，
the
need
to
update
skills
constantly
in
this
growingly
competitive
job
market
also
pushes
the
mode
hard.
Confronted
with
a
higher
level
of
requirements
of
institutions，
not
a
few
candidates
and
employees
feel
the
threat
of
being
replaced，
thereby
yearning
for
seeking
a
better
self.
Admittedly，
this
“knowledge-based”
payment
fashion
has
proved
to
be
lucrative.
With
regard
to
the
whole
society，
information
is
motivated
to
flow
relatively
free
and，
to
some
extent，
monopoly
of
information
is
broken.
Besides，
as
a
nascent
industry，this
economy
instills
vigor
into
the
development
of
our
country.
Sellers
can
reap
rich
profits
from
it；
buyers
can
enjoy
self-growth
and
a
broader
horizon.
Plus，this
is
also
a
reflection
of
respect
for
knowledge
and
talents.
It
promises
possibilities
of
turning
information
into
income.
As
with
all
the
fledgling
industry，
however，
the
“pay-for-knowledge”boom
betrays
a
few
problems.For
one
thing，
the
market
is
awash
with
exaggerated
slogans
such
as
“How
to
Be
an
Industrys
Elite
in
5
Hours”
and
“15
Classes
to
Be
a
Master
of
Appreciating
Classical
Music，”
which
sound
like
once
you
pay
for
it，
you
are
sure
to
succeed
immediately.
Also，
most
“knowledge”
products
cannot
be
counted
as
knowledge
at
all.
They
are
at
most
media
of
information.
For
another，
a
host
of
consumers
believe
such
nonsense
and
buy
them
just
for
showing
off.
It
is
a
pity
for
them
not
to
perceive
that
in
essence
to
digest
knowledge-based
commodities
requires
an
enduring
investment
of
time
and
energy，
as
well
as
the
ability
to
discern
the
quality
and
to
learn
by
oneself.
Consequently，
a
paradox
is
noteworthy：Those
who
have
really
obtained
self-growth
after
buying
online
classes
are
probably
the
kind
of
people
who
need
them
least.
In
other
words，
with
or
without
these
classes，
they
can
make
it
anyway，
because
they
are
people
capable
of
learning
by
themselves.
On
balance，
the
best
is
the
one
that
suits
you
best.
Knowledge-based
payment
should
be
used
as
a
good
start
for
individual
exploration
rather
than
a
clutch
at
straws
to
save
your
life.
Be
careful.
Otherwise，great
expectations
may
turn
out
to
be
dashed
dreams.
23.

of
the
following
is
TRUE
according
to
the

"Pay-for-know
ledge"products

themselves
need
"pay-for-knowledge"
products
most.
D.
People

leam

experts
who

三、阅读理解（每题2分）
Have
you
ever
paid
for
educational
podcasts
or
live
videos？
Ask
a
woman
on
the
street
and
the
chances
are
high
that1
she
will
say
yes.
These
years
has
seen
Chinas
ride
on
the
crest
of
a
trend—“paying
for
knowledge，”
an
emergent
economy
enjoying
its
popularity
in
its
prosperity.The
content
of
its
products
ranges
from
economics，
psychology，and
finance
to
skills
of
talking，
body-building，
and
baby-caring.
The
compass
is
so
overarching
that
everything
one
possibly
thinks
of
or
something
never
occurs
to
ones
mind
is
probably
on
platforms
online
right
at
this
moment.
Then
what
accounts
for
this
craze
on
“knowledge”？
First
of
all，
the
Internet
serves
as
a
precondition.Compared
with
traditional
business
models，
online
business
has
toppled
the
tyranny
of
space
and
the
barriers
to
entry
are
much
lowered.With
a
fast
network
and
a
smartphone，
anyone
having
passed
the
identity
check
upon
online
platforms
can
apply
to
be
an
online
teacher，
and
anyone
with
an
online
account
can
pay
for
“knowledge
products”
he/she
wants
at
an
affordable
price.
Meanwhile，
in
this
age
of
information，
a
fear
of
missing
out
is
generated
by
information
explosion
and
information
asymmetry.
On
one
hand，
there
is
ever
more
desire
for
focused
information
that
is
useful
and
relevant.
On
the
other
hand，
such
information
is
usually
at
the
hands
of
professionals
and
experts
serving
well-known
companies
and
schools
with
high
walls.
Together，the
significance
of
being
well-informed
stands
out.
Moreover，
the
need
to
update
skills
constantly
in
this
growingly
competitive
job
market
also
pushes
the
mode
hard.
Confronted
with
a
higher
level
of
requirements
of
institutions，
not
a
few
candidates
and
employees
feel
the
threat
of
being
replaced，
thereby
yearning
for
seeking
a
better
self.
Admittedly，
this
“knowledge-based”
payment
fashion
has
proved
to
be
lucrative.
With
regard
to
the
whole
society，
information
is
motivated
to
flow
relatively
free
and，
to
some
extent，
monopoly
of
information
is
broken.
Besides，
as
a
nascent
industry，this
economy
instills
vigor
into
the
development
of
our
country.
Sellers
can
reap
rich
profits
from
it；
buyers
can
enjoy
self-growth
and
a
broader
horizon.
Plus，this
is
also
a
reflection
of
respect
for
knowledge
and
talents.
It
promises
possibilities
of
turning
information
into
income.
As
with
all
the
fledgling
industry，
however，
the
“pay-for-knowledge”boom
betrays
a
few
problems.For
one
thing，
the
market
is
awash
with
exaggerated
slogans
such
as
“How
to
Be
an
Industrys
Elite
in
5
Hours”
and
“15
Classes
to
Be
a
Master
of
Appreciating
Classical
Music，”
which
sound
like
once
you
pay
for
it，
you
are
sure
to
succeed
immediately.
Also，
most
“knowledge”
products
cannot
be
counted
as
knowledge
at
all.
They
are
at
most
media
of
information.
For
another，
a
host
of
consumers
believe
such
nonsense
and
buy
them
just
for
showing
off.
It
is
a
pity
for
them
not
to
perceive
that
in
essence
to
digest
knowledge-based
commodities
requires
an
enduring
investment
of
time
and
energy，
as
well
as
the
ability
to
discern
the
quality
and
to
learn
by
oneself.
Consequently，
a
paradox
is
noteworthy：Those
who
have
really
obtained
self-growth
after
buying
online
classes
are
probably
the
kind
of
people
who
need
them
least.
In
other
words，
with
or
without
these
classes，
they
can
make
it
anyway，
because
they
are
people
capable
of
learning
by
themselves.
On
balance，
the
best
is
the
one
that
suits
you
best.
Knowledge-based
payment
should
be
used
as
a
good
start
for
individual
exploration
rather
than
a
clutch
at
straws
to
save
your
life.
Be
careful.
Otherwise，great
expectations
may
turn
out
to
be
dashed
dreams.
