二、阅读理解(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
A
I'm not a fast reader and I don't read as much as many other people, but reading is something I enjoy. It opens new worlds to me.
Recently I found Kobo, an online book store that allows me to buy e-books and read them on a device(设备) of my choice. I'm a girl living in Indonesia, where e-books are not available and I had to buy physical books(有形图书)from Amazon in the past. There are two problems with it:
Shipping cost. Since I live far away from the United States, it costs a lot to Ship a book.
Shipping costs almost as much as the book itself.
Shipping time. It takes about three weeks for the books to arrive through postal mail.
Now with Kobo, I can eliminate those two problems. Not only does it cost less time and money to get the books, but also I prefer to read e-books this way than reading physical books. Here are three reasons why:
● I can easily bring the books everywhere. Since all the books are in my iPod touch, I can simply put the device into my pocket and bring it everywhere I go.
● The size is smaller. The size of the iPod Touch is smaller than a physical book. This makes reading more convenient(方便) for me,
● I can read in any position I want. The iPod has a light source, so I can read when I am in darkness. This means that I can read in practically any position and condition.
One more advantage I haven't mentioned is space. Physical books take space, but e-books don't.
26. According to the article, Amazon is_______.
A. the name of a physical book
B. an online book store for physical books
C. the name of an e-book
D. an online book store in Indonesia
27. The word "eliminate" most probably means "_______ ".
A. cause B. notice C. meet D. solve
28. What are the problems with buying books from Amazon?
A. The books are very heavy.
B. The writer has to go there by ship,
C. It costs more money and time.
D. The books are very expensive.
29. Which of the following is one of the reasons why the writer likes e-books?
A. E-books can be read almost anywhere.
B. E-books are very fashionable.
C. E-books open new worlds to her.
D. E-books help her read faster.
