文章中心大意
Oxygen is useful and the need of it is large beyond expectation. Other than the traditional ways to get it, there is a new alternative method, called magnetic separation. This approach implemented by Dr Vetrovec is expected to be cost less than earlier attempt. However, though the author concedes that it still remains unknown whether this approach will cost less and achieve a certain success, the idea itself is appealing.

1,Oxygen is useful and the demand of it is large.
2, The world market for oxygen could be larger for it is required in some processes. Thus, America’s department of Energy is sponsoring a project intended to pull oxygen from the atmosphere with magnets
3, Traditional ways to get oxygen
4, The principle of magnetic separation to get oxygen
5, The previous attempt is costly while what Dr Vetrovec intends to do would be accessible
6, This part elaborates on how Dr Vetrovec uses his methods to get oxygen
7, Though whether the magnetic separation will cost less or get more oxygen still remains unknown, the author argues that the idea of the approach is appealing.

Mercury is at least partially molten, the finding is of great significance-> Two traditional views in terms of the issue=> the new finding shows that Mercury is not solid throughout , ending the long-standing debate=> The scientists provided explanations that why Mercury remains molten
每段段落大意
1,The argument of the passage: recent study shows that Mercury is at least partially molten. And the finding is of great significance
2, View 1(the earliest opinion) : considering Mercury’s small size, Mercury is solid
3, View 2: However, the earliest view is challenged by the later observation. The finding that Mercury has a magnetic field indicates that Mercury has a liquid core. But it also exits other possibilities.
4, View3: The latest finding shows that Mercury is at least partially molten. And the possible explanations for how Mercury formed.
印象深刻的句子
The finding settles a long-simmering debate about the least studied of the planets. It may also provide insight about how the solar system created its planets.
