Dogs are our best friends. 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(探测) 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 and 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 points 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.

3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.What e-noses' working principle is.
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.

Once upon a time, there was a bad man named Millisphore. Millisphore was so thoroughly evil that he made a plan to 1 every important thing in the world. Helped by his great machines and 2 , he managed to ruin everything important. After that, he created a potion(毒药) that robbed people of their desire to work. He also managed to give off a magic gas, which made people prefer to stay at home rather than 3 .
When things had reached the point where the entire world had been spoilt, Millisphore saw that only one thing stood in his way. It was the 4 . Despite all his evil inventions, his potion and his gas, it seemed that families were still sticking together. What 5 him most was that all the families were resisting him.
He tried making the houses 6 , but the families just lived closer together in less space. He also destroyed food, but the families just shared little food they had. So he continued with his 7 deeds against the only thing that still 8 him, but nothing was working.
9 he discovered the secret to the strength of every family —they 10 each other. Though he tried to invent something to destroy the love. Millisphore 11 managed it. Sad and angry at not having managed to rule the world, he gave up and let everything 12 to normal.
At last, Millisphore was so depressed that all he could think of was to go to his parents' 13 , and tell them what he had done. 14 all the wicked deeds he had done, his parents ran out of their house to hug him. They 15 him, and encouraged him to be good.
And so it is that even the family of the most wicked will love him and forgive him for anything! And aren't we fortunate to have a family

二、
答案：1-4 BDDA
解析：1.推理判断题。第一段中, 作者先介绍了狗的鼻子有很多用途, 然后介绍科学家现在发明了可以做同样事情的电子鼻。由此可以推断, 先提及狗是为了引出电子鼻的话题, 故选B项。
2.词义猜测题。根据第二段中的Earlier models, however, have been bulky and expensive...The new one is inexpensive and small enough to fit inside hand-held equipment.可知, 早期的电子鼻比较昂贵且"bulky", 新型的电子鼻则体积小巧, 可放入手持设备内, 新旧形成对比, 由此猜测bulky是"庞大"的意思, 故选D项。complex意为"复杂的", fragile意为"易碎的", handy意为"方便的"。
3.主旨大意题。第三段主要介绍了电子鼻可以同时检测到多种化合物极其轻微的气味, 故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"I foresee that such an object could add to the fine work done by the dogs."可知, 斯蒂芬 泰勒认为电子鼻可以配合狗进行工作, 故选A项。
三、
答案：1-5.BDADB; 6-10.CBDAC; 11-15.DACBD
解析：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个寓言故事:从前,坏人 Millisphore总是想尽一切办法破坏人们的生活。最后,他发现唯有一样东西他破坏不了,那就是家人的爱。
