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~~
