Purposes: We?ll show that there is air pressure pushing on us, from every direction while we?re on Earth. Procedure: First put a thin ruler on a flat table with a little less than half of it hanging off the edge of the table (see the drawing on the right). Next place a sheet of newspaper over the ruler flat against the table. Make sure to have as little air as possible under the paper so that the fold line of the newspaper is at the ruler. Then quickly strike the end of the ruler hanging off the edge of the table. If you strike it quick enough, the ruler will break near the table edge. What?s going on? The Earth is covered in a layer of air that is nearly 80 miles thick and at sea level exerts or “pushes” hard almost 15 pounds of pressure per square inch. That means that a full sheet of newspaper laid out flat has nearly 9, 300 pounds of air above it. When you break the ruler above, you are able to break it because of the “heavy” air pushing down on the paper while you quickly strike the ruler. At first, the table is pushing back on the paper, and if you move the ruler quick enough, other air around the edges of the paper can?t get under the paper fast enough, so you are trying to lift that 9, 300 pounds with the ruler！ Some air gets under the paper, but not enough, so the ruler breaks. 【 文章大意 】 本文介紹了一個(gè)生活小實(shí)驗(yàn) , 證明在我們生活的這個(gè)地球上 , 氣壓無(wú)處不在 。 adds to C. add up。 【 方法技巧 】 比較等級(jí)修飾詞小結(jié) 本題考查比較等級(jí)的修飾詞 , 在表示 “ 相當(dāng) 。be supposed to have finished相當(dāng)于 should have finished, 意為 “ 本來(lái)應(yīng)該完成而實(shí)際上沒(méi)有 ” 。 expand意為 “ 膨脹 ” 。 mon“常見(jiàn)的 。 2.
