97. A scientific theory is a goodtheory if it satisfies two requirements: it must accurately describe a largeclass of observations in terms of a model that is simple enough to contain onlya few elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results offuture observations. For example, Aristotle’s cosmological theory, whichclaimed that everything was made out of four elements---earth, air, fire, andwater---satisfied the first requirement, but it did not make any definitepredictions. Thus, Aristotle’s cosmological theory was not a good theory. If all the statements in the passageare true, each of the following must also be true EXCEPT: (A) Prediction about the results of future observationsmust be made by any good scientific theory (B)Observation of physical phenomena was not a major concern in Aristotle’scosmological theory. (C) For elements can be the basis ofa scientific model that is simple enough to meet the simplicity criterion of agood theory. (D) A scientific model that containsmany elements is not a good theory. (E) Aristotle’s cosmological theory described a largeclass of observations in terms of only four elements.
我选了A我觉得prediction about the results of future observations不一定是来自good theory,因为这个theory可能不满足第一个条件从而不是good theory,虽然B选项是新信息但并不能判断对错啊。看到的小伙伴就来帮忙忙拜托拜托谢谢大家~
