Question

【题目】

Below is a description of a single scientific experiment. It shows us how iron reacts (反应) with air and with water. Aim: To find out if iron rusts(生锈) (a) in dry air; (b) in water that has no air in it (air-free water) ; (c) in ordinary water. Materials: Some clean iron nails (铁钉) ; test tubes(试管); test tube holder; cotton wool; oil; Bunsen burner.
Iron in dry air Method (1) Put some iron nails at the bottom of a test tube. (2) Push some cotton wool down the tube. (3) Leave the tube for one week. Result After one week, the nails have not rusted. Conclusion Iron does not rust in dry air.	(4) Add some oil to the water. (This will keep air out of the water.) (5) Leave the tube for one week. Result The nails do not rust in the tube with air-free water. Conculsion Iron does not rust in air-free water.
	Iron in ordinary water Method (1) Half –fill a test tube with water and add two or three clean nails. (2) Leave the tube for one week. Result The nails rust in the tube with ordinary water. Conclusion Iron rusts in ordinary water. (238 words)
Iron in air-free water Method (1) Half-fill a test tube with water. (2) Boil the water for three minutes. (This makes surethere is no air in the water.) (3) Put two or three clean nails in the water.

【1】In the first part of the experiment the cotton wool is most probably used to ____.

A. keep the air dry B. keep the tube wet

C. make the nails rust D. keep the tube clean

【2】What are necessary steps to make sure the water in the tube is air-free?

① Leave half a tube of water in it.

② Boil the water for some time.

③ Put some clean iron nails in the tube.

④ Add some oil to the water.

A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②③ D. ②④

【3】We can conclude from the experiment that only ____ makes iron rusty.

A. dry air B. cotton wool

C. ordinary water D. air-free water

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】C

【解析】

试题分析：本篇文章介绍了铁在干燥的空气里，在没有空气的水里和普通的水里，铁是不是会生锈的几个试验。

【1】A细节理解题。根据Push some cotton wool down the tube.可知在试管下面放一些原棉，目的是为了叫空气干燥。故选A。

【2】C细节理解题。根据Boil the water for three minutes. (This makes sure there is no air in the water.)和Add some oil to the water. (This will keep air out of the water.)可知把试管放煤气灯下煮几分钟（保证水里没有空气）和在水里加入适量的油（保证空气不进入到水里）。故选C。

【3】B细节理解题。根据Conclusion Iron rusts in ordinary water.可知铁只有在普通的水里才会生锈。故选B。
