directly on the screen.With a large 10.3-inch E-ink display,the Kobo Elipsa looks more like an electronic clipboard than the standard paperpack-sized e-reader.Although the ability to write on the screen is no big deal especially given its high price tag of$600 the overall package is impressively functional.In terms of reading,the Elipsa packs just about everything youd expect in a Kobo.You can purchase and download books from the store,read web articles youve saved online via Pocket,and connect to your local library to borrow e-books and magazines.Its known that Kindle basically requires you to buy books from Amazon.Unlike Kindles,Kobos are pretty open with the formats they support;you can connect the Elipsa to a computer and transfer over any PDF books you have bought or downloaded from stores like Booktopia or Google Books.You can fill your virtual notepads with notes using brush and pen types,and export them as PDFs or images to a PC.Theres also an“advanced”notebook that can turn your writing into typed and editable text for exporting to Microsoft Word format.You can also write directly onto documents themselves,with all your word circling and underlining saved as you go to review later.This is especially handy when it comes to PDFs,as changes you make are synced（同步）automatically when you have Wi-Fi,so you can move between your Elipsa,PC and phone and keep your notes.With all that said,we can see it really appealing to e-reader fans who also tend to do a lot of work on paper.If you ever print things out to mark them up,fill notepads with writing or drawing that you later have to transcribe or scan,or just wish you could write all over your library books,this could be the device for you.4.Which of the following best describes the Elipsa?A.Automatic.B.Traditional.C.Useful.D.Standard.5.How is a Kobo different from a Kindle in reading?A.A Kindle has a larger screen.B.A Kindle can support more formats.C.A Kobo supports books from various sources.D.A Kobo should be connected to local libraries.6.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Kobos?A Their function in syncing.B.Their function in typing.C.Their function in writing.D.Their function in reading.7.In which section of a newspaper can the text probably be found?A.Education.B.Technology.C.Lifestyle.D.Business.C How much do consumers care about the carbon footprint of the products they buy?Would they care more if the goods were labeled with emissions（排放物）data?Does it matter at which stage in the lifecycle of a product the carbon is emitted?Research published in the International Journal of Environmental Policy and Decision Making offers a way to find out Study participants view a carbon footprint label as similar to labels that have appeared on some existing productsThe label shows the carbon dioxide emissions connected with their production,transportation,usage and disposal（清理）,thus showing the buyer the likely effect on climate change of buying a particular product In the first group of studies,the research team proved that carbon emissions and a carbon emissions label would indeed play a role in consumer product decisions,although not as great a role as priceIn a second set of studies,the team found that emissions connected with usage were most important to consumers followed by the transportation and disposal stagesThe carbon footprint of the producing process was considered less important to consumers than the other stages in the products lifecycle because it is outside the consumers controlThat is,the participants felt they were less responsible for carbon emitted during producing processConsumers value recycling a product,but the researchers found that,overall,the consumers would preferproducers to offset（补偿）carbon emissions rather than having toaddressthe problem directly themselves Consumers are increasingly concerned with climate change problems,and already carbon labeling is appearing on some productsWe find that participantsnot only take the carbon label into account when making product decisions,but they want detailed information on the label,the researchers explainThey suggest that companies should prepare for how carbon emissions labels might affect future consumer choice 8.Which of the following most affects consumers choice?A.Labels B.Price C Packaging D.Carbon footprint 9.About the carbon dioxide emissions in the products lifecycle,which stage do consumers care most?A.Usage stage B.Transportation stage C.Disposal stage D.Producing stage 10.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word address?A.Look into B.Point out C.Deal with D.Run into 11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Companies should take carbonemissions more seriously B.All products have been labeled with carbon emissions data C.Producers will attach less importance to carbon emissions labels D.Products labeled with carbon emissions data will have poor sales D Remember when your mom told you not to eat too many candy bars or sweets because they can cause tooth decay(蛀牙)?However,it turns out that chocolate can be moresalutaryto your teeth than you might expect.Recent studies show that chocolate can effectively fight against tooth decay,as if we need another excuse to eat chocolate.Chocolate offers protection like fluoride,a main ingredient in most household toothpastes.Not only does chocolate protect our teeth,but it can do so very effectively.Studies show that chocolate has compounds that provide strong protection for teeth.One of the compounds in chocolate,CBH,is shown to protect even more effectively than fluoride.Tooth decay happens when bacteria work to turn sugar into acids in our mouth.This is why eating foods with high sugar content can lead to more tooth decay.The compounds in chocolate,however,are anti-bacteria and can fight against bacteria in your mouth.The CBH compound in particular also works to strengthen tooth enamel(牙釉质),andprotects against tooth decay.Does this mean you can cat as much chocolate as you want without worrying about your teeth?It depends on the types of chocolate that you like.The protective effect of chocolate is most effective when you chew on cocoa beans.Of course,this option is not very appealing to;most people.A more tasty option is to choose dark chocolate with little sugar content,ideally no more than 6 to 8 grams per serving.For other types of chocolate with higher sugar content,the effect will be lessened.However,because of the protective compounds,it is still better for your teeth than other sweets and desserts containing the same amount of sugar.12.The word“salutary”in paragraph 1 means?A.Beneficial.B.Harmful.C.Familiar.D.Useless.13.What can we know about the compound CBH in chocolate?A.It can help chocolate cure tooth decay.B.It can effectively stop teeth from decaying.C.It may protect teeth better than toothpastes do.D.It may soon replace most household toothpastes.14.How does chocolate fight tooth decay?A.By breaking down acids.B.By building up compounds.C.By fixing up tooth enamel.D.By fighting against bacteria.15.Whats the main idea of the text?A.Chocolate plays the role of toothpaste.B.Chocolate protects against tooth decay.C.Chocolate is the best choice for teeth protection.D.Chocolate is healthier to teeth than other sweets.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
