这个问题没有在CD上找到解释。原题如下：

Prior to 1965 geologists assumed that the two giant rock plates meeting at the San Andreas Fault generate heat through friction摩擦阻力 as they grind磨碎碾成 past each other, but in 1965 Henry found that temperatures in drill holes near the fault were not as elevated高的 as had been expected. Some geologists wondered whether the absence of friction-generated heat could be explained by the kinds of rock composing起镇静作用的 the fault. Geologists’ pre-1965 assumptions concerning heat generated in the fault were based on calculations about common varieties of rocks, such as limestone and granite; but “weaker” materials, such as clays, had already been identified in samples retrieved取回 from the fault zone. Under normal conditions, rocks composed of clay produce far less friction than do other rock types. In 1992 Byerlee tested whether these materials would produce friction 10 to 15 kilometers below the Earth’s surface. Byerlee found that when clay samples were subjected to the thousands of atmospheres of pressure they would encounter遭遇 deep inside the Earth, they produced as much friction as was produced by other rock types. The harder rocks push against each other, the hotter they become; in other words, pressure itself, not only the rocks’ properties性质 财产, affects frictional heating. Geologists therefore wondered whether the friction between the plates was being reduced by pockets衣袋小袋 of pressurized施加压力的water within the fault that push the plates away from each other.

The passage suggests which of the following regarding Henry’s findings about temperature in the San Andreas Fault?

A.        Scientists have yet to formulate a definitive explanation for Henry’s findings
B.         Recent research suggests that Henry’s explanation for the findings should be modified.没有提到刚刚的研究，H也没有对自己的发现有什么解释
C.        Henry’s findings had to be recalculated in light of Byerlee’s 1992 experiment. H的发现只是热量少 了，不是计算出来的，更重要的是文章没有反对H的发现
D.        Henry’s findings provided support for an assumption long held by geologists 正确，因为1965年之前科学家认为rock种类和heat有关系，但是却发现了weaker的samples，这就与假设不符合了。但是，1965年，H发现了heat并没有之前计算的那么高。正好解释了rock种类和sample的矛盾，support了科学家1965年之前的观点。
E.        Scientists have been unable to duplicate Henry’s findings using more recent experimental methods.无中生有

   我在分析以后觉得D是正确答案，但是在KM上看到的解释是说 have yet =have notKM的解释如下：
在现在完成时的句子中，already常用于肯定句，yet常用于否定句和疑问句，但yet还有其他用法。 1. 用于否定句中，意思是还、尚、迄今、到那时”。例如 he is not yet here. 他还未到。 at three o”clock they had not yet decided whether to play basketball or not. 三点钟时他们尚未决定是否去打篮球。 2. 用于疑问句中，意思是已经”。例如 is everything ready yet ? 一切都准备好了吗？ 3. 与比较级连用，意思是更”。例如 you must work yet harder. 你还需更努力地工作。 4. 与once , again , another 连用，意思是再”。例如 he has made yet another mistake. 他又犯了一个错误。 5. 用于肯定句中，意思是仍然、还得”。例如 she is yet a child. 她还是个孩子。 6. 用作并列连词时，意思是然而、可是”。例如 he studied hard yet he failed. 他学习努力，可是考试仍未及格。

我现在觉得A D都是对的，那个好心人能告诉我，D哪里错了？

Henry的发现和geologists的假设不一样，D很明显是错的额，怎么会是support呢？

应该选b.A也不对，因为这句话：geologists  therefore wondered whether......就是说目前没有明确的解释
