大全-D-2.    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

"It would be foolish to continue parroting Freud’s psychological theories as if these advances had never occurred." This sentence contains a subjunctive mood. It means that we should not continue parroting Freud's psychological theories because many advances--- far deeper understandings of the biological components of thought, emotion, and behavior than was dreamed of eighty years ago--- have occurred. So, it's necessary for us to reexamine Freud's theories on the basis of contemporary biology
