9. Astronauts who experience weightlessness frequently get motion sickness. The astronauts see their own motion relative to passing objects, but while the astronauts are weightless their inner ears indicate that their bodies are not moving. The astronauts’ experience is best explained by the hypothesis that conflicting information received by the brain about the body’s motion causes motion sickness.
Which one of the following, if true, provides the strongest additional support for the hypothesis above?
A. During rough voyages ship passengers in cabins providing a view of the water are less likely to get motion sickness than are passengers in cabins providing no view.
B. Many people who are experienced airplane passengers occasionally get motion sickness.
C. Some automobile passengers whose inner ears indicate that they are moving and who have a clear view of the objects they are passing get motion sickness.
D. People who have aisle seats in trains or airplanes are as likely to get motion sickness as are people who have window seats.
E Some astronauts do not get motion sickness even after being in orbit for several days
答案是A。可是我觉得A 和题目正好相反啊。不是说当两种情况一致(也就是不conflict)的时候是没有motion sickness 的,而两种情况不一致(conflicting information )的时候才会有motion sickness吗》
那么,rough voyages ship passengers in cabins providing a view of the water 是有参照物了啊,那么就应该产生conflict 啊。而 passengers in cabins providing no view就是没有参照物啊,就是说passengers的inner ear 和他看到的都是not move的啊,那就应该不容易产生 motion sickness 啊? |
