31. FeiFei69.

History textbooks frequently need to be revised. The reasons for this are clear: new discoveries of documents and remains, the discovery of mistaken inferences in prior histories, the discovery of previously unnoticed relationships among data, and the application of hitherto undiscovered principles of natural science all may indicate inadequacies in current history texts. Any of these considerations may require that the past be reinterpreted in a manner that is new and more illuminating.

 

 

Which one of the following can be inferred from the argument in the passage?

 

 

A.        The interpretation of historical events is affected by natural science.

B.        The past is constantly renewed because of illuminating reinterpretations.

C.       History books are outdated as soon as they are written.

D.       Natural scientists also function as historians.

E.        Historians’ mistaken inferences are caused by unnoticed relationships among data.

答案给的是A。 请ＮＮ看看Ｂ为啥不对呢。　Ａ中的nature science 只是作者叙述众多reasons 其中一点。 那按照OG的指示（原文提及过的所有example 不能单独出现作为正确答案）是不是A就不全面了呢？

我认为原文的意思是: 众多reasons是并列的，任何一个都能导致reinterpretation，A正好指出了其中一个reason--natural science能导致reinterpretation,这和原文没有冲突吧。

我觉得B的错误在于past一词，past是历史事实，不能被改变，只有reinterpretation才能被修改。

不知道这个解释对不对，大家探讨一下吧。

B)犯了一个A->B => B->A的错误

HISTORY IS RENEWED -> past be reinterpreted in a manner that is new and more illuminating.

B)却说 illuminating reinterpretations  -> The past is constantly renewed 

所以B不对.

除了A, 其他都为无关选项.

同意楼上2位的观点，B的意思不对，不能是past is constantly renewed,而只能是re-interpretation of the past is renewed.

btw,感觉这个题像做阅读。
