Considered as a continuous body of fluid, the atmosphere is another kind of ocean. Yet, in view of the total amount of rain and snow on land areas in the course of the year, one of the most amazing water facts is the very small amount of water in the atmosphere at any given time. The volume of the lower seven miles of the atmosphere--the realm of weather events--is roughly four times the volumes of the world’s oceans. But the atmosphere contains little water. It is chiefly in the form of invisible vapor, some of which is carried over land by air currents. If all the vapor suddenly fell from the air onto the earth’s surface, it would form a layer only about one inch thick. A heavy rainstorm on a given area may use up only a small percentage of the water from the air mass that passes over. How, then, can some land areas receive more than 400 inches of rain per year? How can several inches of rain fall during a single storm in a few minutes of hours? The answer is that rain-yielding air masses are in motion, and as the driving air mass moves on, new moist air takes its place.
The basic source of most water vapor is the ocean. Evaporation, vapor transport, and rainfall make up the continuous movement of water from ocean to atmosphere, to land and back to the sea. Rivers return water to the sea. In an underground area of the cycle, flowing bodies of water discharge some water directly into rivers and some directly to the sea. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项
A、the atmosphere has a lot of water when it circulates
B、the water in the atmosphere is purer than that in the world’s oceans
C、the amount of water in the atmosphere is greater than that in the oceans of the world
D、the small ’amount of water in the atmosphere plays an important part in the rainfall on the earth
答案
D
解析
该题是推断题。根据文章第一段的“But the atmosphere contains little water.”可以排除选项A和C,全文没有提及降雨的纯度及其与海水的纯度对比,故排除选项B;从文章第一段的最后五行可以判断,该部分信息解释了由于大气团的移动,可以在某些时候、某些地区下大暴雨,所以大气中少量的水分对地球的降雨起了重要作用。故选D)。
