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

B.Observation of physical phenomena was not a major concern in Aristotle’s cosmological theory.

C.For elements can be the basis of a scientific model that is simple enough to meet the simplicity criterion of a good theory.

D.A scientific model that contains many elements is not a good theory.

E.Aristotle’s cosmological theory described a large class of observations in terms of only four elements.
一个理论如若满足以下两个条件：1. 必须采用简单模型描述现象； 2.必须能够合理进行预测后面Aristotle blablabla...
答案B，是说的物质现象在Aristotle的理论中不算一个大问题么？我没选这个，是因为翻译错了么？

我选的A，A选项中，如何推出所有predictions 都是由good theory得来的呢？如果有一个Bad Theory，满足条件2，不满足条件1，那么predictions 也是可以be made by bad theory的吧？

不明白啊！请NN帮忙啦~~

首先，选项要求是：不能被原文推测出。
B：原文只是说，ari的理论满足了第一个要求，即满足“必须用简单模型描

述现象”，但是b中说“物质现象在ari的理论中不占主导地位”，他们一点

关系都木有啊~所以说原文无法推出b选项。选b

至于a，意为“在每一个好的理论中，都应该有Prediction about the

results of future observations ”，这就是原文一个好的理论必须满足的

第二个条件“必须进行合理预测”，所以说a选项可以被原文推测出来。不选。

个人想法啊。。。我不是NN，所以有疑惑欢迎探讨，有问题请见谅~

我发现我句意理解方面总是有问题~谢谢你啊！
