That's especially true after a disaster, such as an earthquake. When buildings fall down, search-and-rescue dogs help find trapped people. Dogs' amazing noses can pick up the smell of survivors. Now scientists have developed an electronic tool that does the same thing. It's taking smell detection (探測(cè)) to a whole new level.    The new invention is a sort of electronic nose, which can detect extremely low levels of many compounds (化合物) from people's skin. This isn't the first time engineers have developed such an object. Earlier models, however, have been bulky and expensive. They could not detect low levels of target compounds either. The new one is inexpensive and small enough to fit inside hand-held equipment.    The electronic nose can detect extremely slight smell of more than one compound at the same time. "Being able to do this, in such a small object, is the significant discovery," says Sotiris E. Pratsinis, Professor of Process Engineering & Materials Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His team tested it in special spaces. They were like the small spaces where people might be trapped. Chemicals given off by the volunteers built up inside. The electronic equipment detected those compounds at unbelievably low levels.    The results were good news for the research team. But they may be not for our four-legged friends, who could soon be out of a job. "Ideally, this technology could replace search-and-rescue dogs," Pratsinis says.    Stephen Taylor, an electrical engineer, agrees that the new technology has some benefits over dogs. Still, he thinks it may be too soon to have our trusty friends retire. He suspects, "I foresee that such an object could add to the fine work done by the dogs." Taylor also pointed out some potential limitations of the new invention. "E-noses are useful, but can be very likely to be affected by unstable readings and interruption," he says.1.Why does the author talk about dogs at the beginning?

B.How e-noses are made.
C.What differences between dogs and e-noses are.
D.How powerful e-noses are.
4.What does Stephen Taylor mean?
A.Dogs and e-noses could work together. B.Search-and-rescue dogs will retire soon.
C.E-noses are more reliable than noses of dogs. D.Dogs are better at finding out trapped people.三.語(yǔ)法填空    Global warming could make humans shorter Scientists claim to have found evidence that it caused the world's first horses ① ___ (become) smaller nearly 50 million years ago. In fact, a team from the universities of Florida and Nebraska says ②___ has found a link between the earth heating up and the size of horses, during the last time the world heated up. The scientists used fossils to follow the evolution of horses from their earliest ③ ___ (appear) 56 million years ago. As temperatures went up, their size went ④___. The scientists say that the current warming could have the same effect ⑤___ mammals and could even make humans ⑥ ___ (small). "Horses started out small, about the size of a small dog. What's ⑦ ___ (surprise) is that after they first appeared, they then became even smaller and then dramatically increased in size, and that ⑧ ___ ( exact) corresponds to (符合) the global warming event, followed by cooling. " "It had been known that mammals ⑨ ___ ( be) small during the last warm time, ⑩ ___ we hadn't realised that temperature specifically was driving the evolution of body size," Dr Bloch said in the Science journal.


          答案以及解析一、1.答案：Nevertheless解析： 2.答案：available解析： 3.答案：relevant解析： 4.答案：constant解析：5.答案：warning解析：6.答案：commands解析： 7.答案：instant解析： 8.答案：routine解析：9.答案：automatic解析： 10.答案：remote解析： 11.答案：potentially解析：考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。句意:父母的言行能潛在地影響孩子。此處修飾后面的動(dòng)詞affect,應(yīng)用副詞,故填potentially。12.答案：constantly解析：考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。句意:眾所周知,時(shí)尚在不斷地變化。設(shè)空處修飾主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,故設(shè)空處應(yīng)用副詞,故填constantly。.13.答案：commanded解析：考查時(shí)態(tài)。句意:去年總統(tǒng)下令釋放這些囚犯。分析句子成分可知,設(shè)空處應(yīng)為謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,根據(jù)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)last year可知應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí),故填commanded。14.答案：preference解析：考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。句意:在我看來(lái),這是個(gè)人喜好的問(wèn)題。設(shè)空處前是形容詞personal,所以設(shè)空處應(yīng)用名詞,故填preference。15.答案：automatically解析：考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。句意:你離開(kāi)這個(gè)房間的時(shí)候,暖氣就會(huì)自動(dòng)關(guān)上。此處作狀語(yǔ),故填副詞automatically。二.答案：1-4BDDA
解析：1.推理判斷題。第一段中,作者先介紹了狗的鼻子有很多用途,然后介紹科學(xué)家現(xiàn)在發(fā)明了可以做同樣事情的電子鼻。由此可以推斷,先提及狗是為了引出電子鼻的話題,故選B項(xiàng)。
2.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段中的Earlier models, however, have been bulky and expensive... The new one is inexpensive and small enough to fit inside hand-held equipment.可知,早期的電子鼻比較昂貴且“bulky”,新型的電子鼻則體積小巧,可放入手持設(shè)備內(nèi),新舊形成對(duì)比,由此猜測(cè)bulky是“龐大”的意思,故選D項(xiàng)。complex意為“復(fù)雜的”,fragile意為“易碎的”,handy意為“方便的”。
3.主旨大意題。第三段主要介紹了電子鼻可以同時(shí)檢測(cè)到多種化合物極其輕微的氣味,故選D項(xiàng)。
4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I foresee that such an object could add to the fine work done by the dogs.”可知,斯蒂芬·泰勒認(rèn)為電子鼻可以配合狗進(jìn)行工作,故選A項(xiàng)。 三.答案：①to become ②it ③appearance ④down ⑤on ⑥smaller ⑦surprising ⑧exactly ⑨were ⑩but解析：①cause sb/sth to do sth 是固定搭配,意為 "導(dǎo)致某人/某物做某事". 故填 to become.②指代前面提到的 a team 應(yīng)用 it. 故填 it.③形容詞性物主代詞 their 后應(yīng)用 appear 的名詞形式.故填 appearance.④根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知,溫度上升會(huì)導(dǎo)致馬的體形變小.故填 up 的反義詞 down.⑤have an effect on 是固定搭配,意為 "對(duì).....有影響". 故填 on.⑥此處暗含氣候變暖前后人類體形的對(duì)比,應(yīng)用比較級(jí).故填 smaller.⑦be 動(dòng)詞后應(yīng)用形容詞作表語(yǔ),此處修飾的是事物,應(yīng)用 surprising, 意為 "令人驚訝的". 故填surprising.⑧修飾動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ) corresponds to 要用 exact 的副詞形式.故填 exactly.⑨mammals是復(fù)數(shù)形式,后面的系動(dòng)詞也要用復(fù)數(shù)形式.時(shí)間是 during the last warm time, 應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí).故填 were.⑩句意為:我們已經(jīng)知道哺乳動(dòng)物在上個(gè)溫暖期個(gè)頭較小,但我們還未意識(shí)到正是溫度驅(qū)動(dòng)著體形大小的進(jìn)化.由句意可知設(shè)空前后為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系.故填 but.
