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

答案：D。我认为B答案更好些。原文是因为新的两个领域neurophysiology and biochemistry的进步，我们应该不再继续理会F的心理学理论了。很明显作者更倾向于认同他们的解释作用而不是心理学的。D选项是用当代生物学观点来重新审视心理学。我觉得这个是不合乎文中意思的。请帮忙看看吧：）

It would be foolish to continue parroting Freud’s psychological theories才是作者真正的观点——现在还用弗洛伊德的心理学太傻了。因为，great advances in neurophysiology and biochemistry和far deeper understanding of the biological components
   这些前提。因此，that the author would be most likely to favor应该是对作者观点的infer，而不是对前提的infer。D说，对弗洛伊德心理学的老看法应该改变了，比B合适。
