问题     The science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any advantage point. Different views must be integrated to give perspective to the whole picture.
    One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of the science called synoptic (天气的) meteorology.
    Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and aerological diagram. The practical importance of the numerous applications of weather forecasting cannot be underestimated. In serving the needs of shipping, aviation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefits are reaped in the form of the saving of human life and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of the science of meteorology is constantly to strive, through advanced study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts.
    The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are the disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dynamic meteorology.
Which of the following is not referred to by the author as a field whose needs are served by weather forecasting?
选项 A、Sports.
B、Transportation.
C、Manufacturing.
D、Farming.
答案A
解析 事实细节题。第三段第三句提到了天气预报所服务的领域：shipping，aviation，agriculture，industry。其中，shipping(海运)和aviation(航空)属于运输业，即B项；agriculture (农业)即D项；制造业属于industry(工业)，即C项。文中并没有提到体育运动领域，故答案为A项。
