13.People who are worried about bad breath often reach for a toothbrush or a gun.But in the future,personal breath monitoring may include far more than fresh breath.
In face,breath is so rich in chemical compounds that fully understanding it has proved challenging.Each breath contains gases like carbon dioxide,the volatile(挥发性的)remains of recent snacks,medicines and even compounds taken in from things like carpeting or various kinds of air pollution.But breath detectors(检测器) can sort out these substances with increasing sensitivity(敏感性).
Scientists are building electronic sniffers that examine the exhaled(呼气)air for signs of cancer,asthma(哮喘),and other diseases.
"There are clear signatures in the breath for liver(肝)disease,kidney(肾)disease and heart disease.Breath is a rich mixture that can reflect out state of health and disease."said Dr.Raed Dweik,director of the Cleveland Clinic,adding"Breath analysis is the future of medical testing."
He and his partners are testing a desktop system called BreathLink for use in rapid identification of diseases.The system is designed to work wherever there is an Internet connection.To use BreathLink,a person breathes into a long tube,and a breath sample is collected and analyzed within the system.Then it can detail chemical concentrations(浓度)of the breath in graphics.Dr.Raed Dweik said,"If you examine patients of asthma,you will find they have higher levels of nitric oxide(一氧化碳) in their exhaled air.It reflects their abnormal symptoms in the lungs."His tests have reached 85percent accuracy(精确度)so far in spotting people with some illness.
But some trained dogs,he pointed out,can sniff out cancer with 99percent accuracy-although without the ability to identify particular compounds the way some detectors can.
"We are getting better and better,"he said."But whether we will ever approach the accuracy of the dog-we don't know."

8.What is the breath detector used for?B
A.To find what kind of disease a person has.
B.To identify substances from people's breath.
C.To help a patient recover from disease.
D.To smell how bad the breath is.
9.In the fifth paragraph,what Dr.Raed Dwik said is meant toD.
A.show how he and his partners treated patients   
B.tell why a person has asthma
C.show how sensitive the device is     
D.show how to diagnose a patient of asthma
10.It can be inferred thatD
A.brushing teeth can improve one's bad breath
B.there are leftovers like snacks and medicines in one's breath
C.one can know exactly about his physical state through the breath
D.breath analysis can be helpful in medical diagnosis
11.What's the author's attitude towards the future of breath detectors?B
A.Indifferent      B.Positive       
C.Doubtful.       D.Critical.

分析 本文是一篇科教类阅读,属于说明文,主要介绍了一项新发明:breath detectors,并通过举例说明的方法告诉我们这项新的发明能够帮助诊断疾病.

解答 8.B 推理判断题.根据第二段最后一句But breath detectors(检测器) can sort out these substances with increasing sensitivity(敏感性).可知这种呼吸检测器可以把人呼出的气体中的物质进行辨别分裂.故B正确.9.D 推理判断题.根据第五段倒数第二句Dr.Raed Dweik said,"If you examine patients of asthma,you will find they have higher levels of nitric oxide(一氧化碳) in their exhaled air.It reflects their abnormal symptoms in the lungs."aed Dweik以检测患有哮喘为例说明人们使用这一设备诊断疾病的程序和方法.故D正确.
10.D 推理判断题.根据文章第五段内容以及最后一句His tests have reached 85 percent accuracy(精确度)so far in spotting people with some illness.可知这一设备可以通过分析人们所呼出的气体中的成分来诊断人们所患疾病,而且准确率达到百分之85.说明呼吸分析技术能够帮助进行医学诊断.故D正确.
11.B.推理判断题."We are getting better and better,"he said."But whether we will ever approach the accuracy of the dog-we don't know."中we are getting better and better.说明作者对于这一设备的未来是持积极乐观的态度的.故B正确.

点评 本文是一篇科教类阅读,题目涉及多道推理判断题.做题时学生应仔细阅读原文,把握文章主要内容,联系文章上下文内容并结合所给选项含义,从中选出正确答案,一定要做到有理有据,切忌胡乱猜测.
