97. A scientific theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements: it must accurately describe a large class of observations in terms of a model that is simple enough to contain only a few elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations. For example, Aristotle’s cosmological theory, which claimed that everything was made out of four elements---earth, air, fire, and water---satisfied the first requirement, but it did not make any definite predictions. Thus, Aristotle’s cosmological theory was not a good theory.
If all the statements in the passage are true, each of the following must also be true EXCEPT:
(A) Prediction about the results of future observations must be made by any good scientific theory
A为什么能从文中推出? good theory要符合两个条件,但是符合其中一个条件的并不见得就是good theory啊
In the argument, you can extend the logic direction that if a theory is good, it must be both simple enough to contain a few elements while describe the observations accurately and predict the result definitely. Therefore A is right.
红字的部分我觉得不太对8,我认为原句的意思,two requirements是充要条件。请指正。
up.此题A还是不对。如果A->(B+C),怎么能说B只来自于A呢???
再顶!
A->B 的意思是,只要有B(必要条件),A才能成立;如果有了A,就一定有B。所以本题既然A->(B+C)是成立的,只要有A就一定能推出必要条件B和C。
这是偶的理解!
就算predictions about the results of future observations是必要条件, 但不一定是made by any good scientific theory。虽然B也推不出 但A也不对吧!!
