shoppers with thepromise of interest-free credit.An incredible 45 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds in the UK turned toBNPL last year,according to The Money Charity.Lenders say they offer a better deal than creditcards,because they do not charge interest but make money from affiliate deals(关联交易)withretailers(零售商).It may be a new way of borrowing money,but the old rules still apply:unlessyou repay the debt quickly,you are building up trouble for the future.Now,BNPLs are growing in popularity and do have upsides mostly convenient shoppingwith interest-easy financing and no strict approval requirements.However,they also make iteffortless to overshop,overspend,and get in over your head with credit problems.Lenders pay the retailer on your behalf,and then you repay over 30 days or three months,spreading the cost to help with your cash flow.They say this is fairer and less expensive thancredit cards.That may be true,but BNPL has dangers,too.BNPL lenders may not charge any interest,but they still want you to pay back the money youhave borrowed,so what if you cant?Typically,you have 30 days to pay.If you dont,your lenderwill contact you to chase late payments.If you still dont pay,they call in the debt collectors.Citizens Advice says that 14 million used a BNPL product last year,but six million did notunderstand what they were signing up for.Some 26%of BNPL customers regretted their choice,while 41%struggled with repayment.Younger people were particularly at risk.A quarter of thosemaking BNPL repayments couldnt afford food,rent or bills as a result.Another worry is that BNPL lenders only perform soft searches on a persons credit report,so do not see the borrowers true credit status.This means they cannot remove people withfinancial problems and may end up adding to their troubles.BNPL lenders say they do carefulchecks to make sure they never lend more than a consumer can afford to pay back,and also pauseaccounts if a single payment is late.Nobody wants to be pursued by debt collectors.If you do useBNPL credit,never borrow more than you can afford to repay.28.How do BNPL lenders earn profits according to the text?A.They force borrowers to pay their debts.B.They require payment for retailersservices.C.They receive a certain fee from affiliate deals.D.They charge interest from 18 to 24-year-old users.29.Why does BNPL become more and more popular?A.For strict approval requirements and no interest.B.For its convenience of shopping with high interest.C.For buying anything needed without credit problems.D.For convenient shopping and no strict approval requirements.30.What problem does the Buy Now Pay Later method have?A.All the young people cant repay the debt quickly.B.It is difficult to know the borrowers real credit status.C.More than half of BNPL customers cant afford the payments.D.BNPL has to depend on debt collectors to get back the money.31.What is the authors attitude towards BNPL?A.Favorable.B.Indifferent.C.Objective.D.Critical.D高三英语期末试卷9（共 8 页）高三英语期末试卷10（共 8 页）The three astronauts on the Shenzhou XIV mission returned to Earth on Sunday evening aftera six-month mission
