Without the atmosphere, there would be no weather, no wind, rain, snow, or clouds. Air is all around us; we live at the bottom of a great ocean of air. It is invisible, but we can feel it when it moves. There are miles of all above us, pressing down with great weight on the earth and everything on it. Because air presses down on us from all directions at the same time, and because we are able to bear (忍受) this weight, we do not seem to feel it. But scientists have proved that air has this weight, and that anything that has weight creates (产生) a force called pressure. As changes in air pressure take place, they make air move.
Air is a gas that expands (膨胀) when heated, gets lighter, and moves upward. When air is
cooled, it gets heavier, sinks close to the earth’s surface, and flows like water in a great river. As warm air rises, cold air rashes to take its place. Thus winds originate (起源). Tile winds that blow high above us are caused by the warmer air running away from colder air. The wind we feel near the earth’s surface is the heavy colder air trying hard to catch the warmer air. Changes in temperature cause the air to move. And of course there are many changes, so air movements are taking place practically all the time.
选项
A、why we don’t feel air
B、why atmosphere is important to us
C、why there is air surrounding us
D、why there is air pressure
答案

解析
根据文意可知,本段主要论述为什么我们周围的空气无处不在,我们的头上有数英里厚的大气层,但我们感觉不到。文中也涉及到选项D。但题干上mainly 说明要找主要的内容,故选A。
