alone in the universe.The belief fits withLoebs alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter,which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017.It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star.Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object,called“Oumuamua”got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy.“One possibility is that Oumuamua is debris from an advanced technological equipment,”Loeb said.“Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door.”“Oumuamua is not an alien spaceship,”Paul Sutter,another scientist wrote.He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity.Most scientists think“Oumuamua”is some sort of rock.They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that“Oumuamuas”behavior means it cant be a block of rock shaped like a long photo.He thinks its more likely an object thats very long and thin,perhaps like a long pancake or a ships sail.Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs,he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe,too-quiet scientists.“The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties,and that would give me even more time to focus on science,”Loeb says.He said he wouldnt mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.4.What does Loeb say about“Oumuamua”?A.It is an icy comet.B.It looks like a long photo.C.It is actually some sort of rock.D.It may come from another alien civilization.5.What does the underlined word“contradicts”in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B.Relies on.C.Turns to.D.Searches for.6.What do you think of Loeb?A.He is foolish.B.He is unsatisfied with his titles.C.He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D.He is uncertain about his career future.7.Whats the best title for the text?A.Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B.Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C.Scientists Are Working on High Technology D.Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel C After years of releasing e-readers that compete directly with Amazons Kindle,Rakuten Kobos latest device offers something totally different:theability to draw and write 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.8.Which of the following best describes the Elipsa?A.Automatic.B.Traditional.C.Useful.D.Standard.9.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.10.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.11.In which section of a newspaper can the text probably be found?A.Education.B.Technology.C.Lifestyle.D.Business.D One-year-old Tallulah turned purple
