Alan Izhar-Bodner, an Israeli inventor, has developed a swimming suit for divers to breathe underwater without carrying heavy oxygen tanks. His suit makes use of the air that is dissolved（溶解）in water, just like fish do.
The system uses the Henry Law which states that the amount of gas that can be dissolved in a liquid is proportional (成比例的)to the pressure on the liquid. Raise the pressure ---more gas can be dissolved in the liquid. Decrease the pressure --- less gas dissolved in the liquid releases the gas. This is exactly what happens when you open a can of soda; carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the liquid and is under pressure in the can. Open the can, releasing the pressure, and the gas fizzes(嘶撕作响)out.
Bodner's System obviously uses a special machine to lower pressure in part of a small amount of seawater taken into the system; dissolved gas is taken out. The patent（专利）reads: A self-contained open-circuit（循环）breathing instrument for use within a body of water naturally containing dissolved air. The instrument is adapted to provide breathable(可吸入的)air. The instrument contains an inlet for taking out a quantity of water from the body of water. It further contains a separator for separating the dissolved air from the quantity of water, thus gaining the breathable air. The instrument further contains an outlet for expelling (驱逐)the separated water back into the body of water, and another outlet for removing the breathable air and supplying it for breathing. The air is supplied so as to enable it to be expelled back into the body of water after it has been breathed .
Human beings have been thinking about how to breathe underwater since they started swimming. This long-held desire plays an important part in one of the first great science fiction novels, Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
【小题1】It can be inferred from the passage that .A．the less pressure it is, the less carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the liquidB．the deeper one dives into the ocean, the less gas is dissolved in the waterC．the greater pressure it is, the more carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the liquid D．the deeper one dives into the ocean, the more gas is dissolved in the water【小题2】This passage is mainly about .A．how Bodner invented the instrument for breathing underwaterB．why Bodner invented the instrument for breathing underwaterC．how Bodner's instrument for breathing underwater worksD．how Bodner's instrument is used by divers for breathing underwater【小题3】From the passage we learn that .A．a separator is used to expel breathable air back into the body of waterB．a separator is used to separate the air from the water so as to make use of the waterC．The breathable air removed from an outlet will eventually go back to the body of water.D．The breathable air removed from an outlet will immediately go back to the body of water.D

(答案→)D
解析：本文主要讲述的就是Alan Izhar-Bodner所发明的海底呼吸的设备的工作原理和方式。
【小题1】D 推理题。根据第二段Raise the pressure ---more gas can be dissolved in the liquid.说明压力越大，溶解的气体越多，故D项，人潜水越深，压力也就越大，溶解的气体也就越多。故D正确。
【小题2】C 主旨大意题，本文主要讲述的就是Alan Izhar-Bodner所发明的海底呼吸的设备的工作原理和方式，故C项正确。
【小题3】C 根据文章第三段The instrument contains an inlet for taking out a quantity of water from the body of water. It further contains a separator for separating the dissolved air from the quantity of water, thus gaining the breathable air. The instrument further contains an outlet for expelling (驱逐)the separated water back into the body of water, and another outlet for removing the breathable air and supplying it for breathing.说明最后这些空气都回到身体中的水里去了。故C正确。
