Freud’s theories of the workings of the mind, while brilliant for their day, were formulated before most of this century’s great advances in neurophysiology and biochemistry. Today, we have a far deeper understanding of the biological components of thought, emotion, and behavior than was dreamed of eighty years ago. It would be foolish to continue parroting Freud’s psychological theories as if these advances had never occurred.
It can be inferred from the passage above that the author would be most likely to favor
(A) the abandonment of most of Freud’s theories
(B) a greater reliance on biological rather than psychological explanations of behavior
(C) a critical reexamination of Freud’s place in the history of psychology
(D) a reexamination of Freud’s theories in the light of contemporary biology
(E) increased financial support for studies in neurophysiology and biochemistry
其实我一直徘徊在AB中，没有想到答案是D，有没有牛牛可以解答呀

Focus on the final sentence:
It would be foolish to continue parroting Freud’s psychological theories as if these advances had never occurred.

What does the author mean?

Thank you, Sdcar2010,

I noticed your reply before and your emphasis on the last sentence, but I could persuade myself to regard D as the answer. Because, I don't understand why "It would be foolish to continue parroting Freud’s psychological theories as if these advances had never occurred" would lead to reexamination of Freud's psychological theories...

个人觉得关键词是 parroting，即使反复重复Freud 地理论是愚蠢的。

但是，原文没说可以彻底放弃该理论，所以 A 过于绝对。

由于原文围绕 Freud 的理论展开讨论，B 没有涉及，所以不选。

D 不绝对正确，但似乎是所有选项中最好的。

谢谢楼上，不选B我懂了，A似乎也明白了，D我还真没有觉得有那点对，因为结论题不是不能够扩大范围吗？我觉得D有点扩大范围了....

可能我钻牛角尖了...

题目是说 author would be most likely to favor, 所以我理解是正确答案可以不100%正确，但需要是所有答案中最好的

你说的对，我也觉得D 这个答案没法严格的推导出来，但比较之下，它最好。。

It would be foolish to continue parroting Freud’s psychological theories as if these advances had never occurred.
parrot作动词是‘机械重复’的意思。这句话应重点关注as if后面。these advances指代前面一句说的today从生物角度对thought, emotion, and behavior关系的长足认识。因为有这些davances，所以不能parrot，换句话说，就是要reexamine，从contemporary biology
的角度。所以选D

作者说弗洛伊德的理论在他那个年代是很牛的，但是由于近代生物技术的发展我们更多的了解了情绪行为等因素的影响。
所以说，D说将弗洛伊德的理论结合现代生物技术来理解很全面的表达了作者的意图。
A和B都很绝对化了。弗洛伊德的理论不一定大部分都要抛弃。也不一定就要更多的依赖生物学层面。
