[单项选择]Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage: The accuracy of scientific observations and calculations is always at the mercy of the scientist’s timekeeping methods. For this reason, scientists are interested in devices that give promise of more precise timekeeping. In their search for precision, scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating atoms or molecules to supply their “ticking”. This is possible because each kind of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration. The nitrogen atom in ammonia, for example, vibrate or “ticks” 24 billion times a second. One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probably lose no more than a second in 3000 years. It will be of great importance in fields such as astronomical observation and long-range navigation. The heart of this atomichron is cesium atom that vibrates 9.2 billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiling water. An atomic clock that operates with
A. Precise timekeeping is essential in science.
B. Scientists expect to disprove Einstein’s relativity theories.
C. Atomic clocks will be important in space flight.
D. The rate of vibration of an atom never varies.
