Dogs have long been used to find explosives and drugs.Now,a new study shows that man’s best friend can also help to find lung and breast cancer,researchers report in integrative Cancer Therapies.The findings show that trained ordinary household dogs can detect early—stage lung and breast cancers by smelling the breath samples of patients.
Researchers have found that cancer cells send out molecules different from those of healthy ones,and that might be sensed by smell by the highly sensitive dog’s nose.
For the study,five dogs were trained by a professional instructor to respond differently to breath samples of healthy and cancer patients.“The dogs learned to sit or lie down in front of cancer patient samples and to ignore control samples through the method of food reward,” McCulloch explained.
After a period of training,researchers tested the animals’ability to distinguish cancer patients from controls.The animals were given breath samples from 55 patients with lung cancer,3 1 with breast cancer and 83 healthy controls who were not included in the original training period.
McCulloch’s group found that the dogs were able to correctly distinguish the breath samples of cancer patients from those of the control subjects in about 90 percent of the cases.The dogs were also able to detecting early-stage lung and breast cancers.
“These results show that there is hope for early detection,”McCulloch said.The re-searches are planning to conduct further studies on the breath composition of cancer patients to possibly design an electronic device that can do the dogs’job.“A dog’s nose is so powerful it can detect odors(气味)10 000 to 100 000 times better than a human nose can.I hope people will be interested in doing this research,”McCulloch added,“It shows that there is definitely something out there.”

A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.
A biodegradable (生物所能分解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.
Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.
Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.
As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief (缓解) for nature , according to the scientists.
“The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.
What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.
B. To persuade the reader to buy the biodegradable cell phone.
C. To discuss the development of phone technology.
D. To introduce an environmentally-friendly cell phone to readers.
People throw away their cell phones most probably because _______.
A.there is something wrong with them
B.no sunflowers can grow out of them
C.they are out of fashion
D.they are becoming cheaper and cheaper
It could be learned from the passage that _________.
A.developing the new type of phone is mainly to protect the environment
B.phone-makers will benefit much more from the new type of phone
C.the new type of phone will certainly be popular with users all over the world
D.the phones that can be recycled are available only in Britain now
What might be the best title for this passage?
A.Sunflower and Phone. B.Plant Your Phone.
C.Protect Our Environment. D.No Worry about Phone.
Where can we probably find the passage above?
A. In a novel. B. In a magazine. C. In a textbook. D. In a diary
第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
What if you arrived home to find a delicious hot meal waiting for you,prepared by your very own kitchen robot? It might sound like science fiction,but professors at the university of Tokyo have taken the first steps toward making that scenario a reality.The team recently introduced a humanoid kitchen robot that can pour tea and other drinks into cups and serve them to guests.When teatime is over,the robot can also wash the dishes and put them away.
In California,another interesting kitchen robot has been developed.Called the Ready-bot,it can pick up objects and either store them in cabinets or put them in the trash.It also carries a separate floor-cleaning robot that can operate by itself.Unlike the Japanese robot,Readybot is not humanoid.Instead,it looks more like a large box with arms and wheels.
Readybot was created by engineers and designers who established a club called the Readybot Challenge.They believe that in the future millions of robots will be needed in homes to perform ordinary household tasks.Readybot is just the first step in their plan to create a robot that can tackle jobs not only in kitchens but in other rooms of homes and in offices as well.
Clearly there are technological hurdles to overcome before robots can cook a complete dinner,and there are also many safety concerns.Not everyone(especially parents)would be comfortable with the idea of robots in their house,manipulating hot pans and sharp knives.The European Commission recently funded a project to study these concerns.
56.What does the writer imply about the Japanese robot?
A.It performs fewer functions than readybot can.
B.it looks more like a person than Readybot does.
C.It speaks more languages than Readybot does.
D.It costs 1ess to manufacture than Readybot does.
57.Where do the engineers and designers hope that Readybot will operate in the future?
A.On spacecraft B.In automobiles
C.On playgrounds D.At companies
58.What does the writer imply about parents?
A.They have shown tremendous interest in kitchen robots.
B.They don’t have strong opinions about kitchen robots.
C.They might think that kitchen robots could be dangerous.
D.They can’t wait to buy kitchen robots for their homes.
59.According to the writer,what has the European Commission done for the project?
A.It has built factories B.It has printed manuals
C.It has hired workers D.It has provided money
What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow,orange,red? If you do,you must be an optimist,a leader,an active person who enjoys life,people and excitement.Do you prefer grey and blues? Then you are probably quiet,shy and you would rather follow than lead.If you love green,you are strong-minded and determined.You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful.At least this is what psychologists(心理学家)tell us,and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference,and the effect that colors have on human beings.They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up.If you happen to love brown,you did so as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one,and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.On the other hand,black is depressing(压抑).Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.It is a fact that factory workers work better,harder,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.
Remember,then,that if you feel low,you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things.Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike.And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.
60.According to this passage, .
A.one can choose his color preference
B.one is born with his color preference
C.one’s color preference is changeable
D.one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly
61.We would pay attention to colors because .
A.colors do have effect on our moods(情绪)
B.colors may have effect on our work and study
C.light and bright colors make people happy
D.you can know your friends better by the colors they like or dislike
62.The main idea of this passage is .
A.one’s color preference shows one’s character
B.you can brighten your lire with wonderful colors
C.psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference
D.one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on
human beings
