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 statements best describes the organization of the third paragraph of the passage?

选项 A、Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.
B、Recent scientific advancements are outlined in order of importance.
C、A procedure is explained and its importance is emphasized.
D、A problem is examined and possible solutions are given.

答案C

解析 事实细节题。第三段第一句指出天气学是天气预报技术的科学基础,第二句点明不能低估天气预报在多个领域的现实意义,并在第三句具体说明天气预报的应用领域和重要性,最后第四句强调气象学对天气预报准确性的重要意义。故答案为C项。
