问题       Air turbulence can substantially accelerate the appearance of large droplets
   triggering rain by presenting a new mechanism, the "sling effect", which
   increases collisions of droplets that have become detached from the airflow.
Line  First, vapor condensation in cloud cores produces small droplets resembling one
(5) another in size, which then expand to raindrop size by coalescing under the
   effects of air turbulence—a force thought to cause collisions of similar-sized
   droplets whose radii exceed a few micrometers. Then, turbulent vortices act as
   small centrifuges that spin heavy droplets out, creating concentration
   heterogeneities and jets of droplets, both of which increase the mean collision
(10)  rate, which in turn accelerates rain initiation.
      One can conclude that rain prediction requires a quantitative description of
   droplet collision in turbulence, a mechanism which helps meteorologists to
   forecast rainfall,  but detailed understanding of the phenomenon entails
   consideration of such factors as warm and cold fronts stretching over hundreds
(15)  of miles, individual clouds perhaps a mile or so across, and even, as the
   mechanism illustrates, tiny eddies perhaps a few centimeters or so in size. [br] According to the passage, rain prediction requires a quantitative description of droplet collision in turbulence for which of the following reasons?

选项 A、The "sling effect" remains unproven and requires experimental corroboration.
B、The degree to which droplets collide is the only reliable method of assessing air flow.
C、The degree of turbulence may help forecast the formation of large-size droplets that precipitate rain.
D、Such factors as warm and cold fronts and individual cloud formations could not be performed otherwise.
E、The laws which govern the formation of concentration heterogeneities still need to be discerned.

答案 C
