• 8．Since there seems to be an app for everything，it may come as no surprise that there is an app for cheating.But it isn't just one app.It's hundreds of companies and apps that can be used to complete students' homework，and even exams.
      But what surprised me most as an educator playing this cat-and-mouse game for decades is that cheating is now spreading internationally and powered by billion-dollar companies.
      Some companies offer monthly subscription formats，in which students pay ＄15 a month for round-the-clock access to resources including exam questions and homework "help".They also get on-demand access to many experts with advanced degrees in math，science and other subjects.These experts，available online 24/7，are the source of step-by-step answers.
      As an unintended consequence of technology allowing remote learning and exams，students are finding more and more online venues allowing them to earn grades and diplomas by cheating.
      How do we limit this global supply chain of cheating？
      The answer depends on the motivation behind the decision to cheat.Some students don't think of it as cheating，as they are paying a legit company for the service；many feel pressured to get the grades and so justify the means. Many students who are cheating avoid academic consequences，as there are few technology solutions to capture original answers provided by experts，and plagiarism-catching software can't detect original work bought by these students.
      However，in 2020，lawmakers in some countries made it illegal to arrange or advertise for sale certain cheating services such as paid essay writing.Did it have an effect？According to a study，many of the biggest and best-known essay mills are ending operations.But even then，fear of getting caught is probably not enough motivation to stop all cheating students.Thus，tackling this cheating requires a collective effort by educational institutions.
  
  （1）Why did the author feel shocked？

  
  （2）How do you understand the underlined part in Para.6？

  
  （3）Decide which part of the following statement is wrong.Underline it and explain why.

  
  •Students' academic pressure makes online cheating widespread and some measures have been taken to fight it.
  （4）As a student，what do you think of online cheating？（In about 40 words）
