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.
答案选A，这一点没问题。我的疑问是，D似乎也对呀。
