阅读部分练习题 Passage 1 从空气中分离气体 1．Just as man has found great uses for the materials ,which he can dig up from the ground , .正如人类已经发现了从地下挖掘出的矿物质的巨大作用一样， so , too , he has found important use for the gases , which he can obtain from the air人类也已经发现了从空气中分离出的气体的重要作用。 Oxygen and nitrogen can be made from other materials , 氧气和氢气可以从其他的原料中获取， but they are usually obtained from the air because air is so plentiful .但是因为空气的充足，因此通常从空气中提取这两种气体。Some of the other gases ,such as argon ,can only be obtained from the air .另外一些气体，比如说氩气，只能在空气中分离取得。there is so little carbon dioxide in the air that it is better to obtain it in other ways . 空气中的二氧化碳很少，因此，最好用别的办法来得到二氧化碳。The problem ,of course , is to find a quick and useful way of separating the gases in the air .问题当然是找到一条快捷而有用的方法从空气中分离气体。 Let us read how this is done .咱们看看这项工作是如何被完成的。 2．We remember how air can be made into a liquid . 我们还记得空气是如何转变成气体的。If the liquid is warmed again , It “boils” and turns back into a gas .如果把液化的空气再加热，它就会“蒸发”，然后变回气体。Now oxygen does not boll away from liquid air so easily as nitrogen .氧气不像氮气那样容易地从液态空气中分离出来。By careful arrangement of the boiling , 认真安排这个蒸发的过程，it is possible to make the nitrogen turn back into a gas and leave the liquid oxygen behind .就有可能先把氮气变回到气体，而使液态氧气保持原状。The oxygen can be turned into a gas later .紧跟着氧气也变成了气体。In this way the oxygen and nitrogen are separated . 通过这种方法，氧气和氮气就能分离了。The other gases , such as argon ,can also be obtained separately by very careful arrangement of the boiling .别的气体，比如氩气，同样可以通过对蒸馏过程的精密安排，逐步分离获得。 Questions: 1. Why people usually , obtain oxygen and nitrogen from the air ? Because air is plentiful . 2．What happens if the liquid is warmed again ? It boils and turns back into a gas . 3.Does nitrogen boil easily than oxygen does ? Yes, it does . 4.Can the nitrogen turn back into a gas ? Yes , it can . 5.How are oxygen and nitrogen separated ? Make the nitrogen turn back into a gas and leave the liquid oxygen behind . Passage 2 水清洁的原理 1．Scientists call the process of wate
