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] The primary purpose of the passage is to
选项 A、explain and resolve a controversy among meteorologists
B、present and describe a recently discovered phenomenon
C、suggest and prove a theory on the cause of a phenomenon
D、describe and confirm research findings under question
E、discuss and evaluate the soundness of certain experimental observations
答案 B
