问题 61 . Psychologists today recognize childhood as a separate stage of life which can only be understood in its own terms, and they wonder why the Western world took so long to see the folly of regarding children simply as small, inadequately socialized adults. Most psychologists, however, persist in regarding people 70 to 90 years old as though they were 35 years old who just happen to have white hair and extra leisure time. But old age is as fundamentally different from young adulthood and middle age as childhood is—a fact attested to by the organization of modern social and economic life. Surely it is time, therefore, to acknowledge that serious research into the unique psychology of advanced age has become indispensable. Which one of the following principles, if established, would provide the strongest backing for the argument?
选项 A、Whenever current psychological practice conflicts with traditional attitudes toward people, those traditional attitudes should be changed to bring them in line with current psychological practice.
B、Whenever two groups of people are so related to each other that any member of the second group must previously have been a member of the first, people in the first group should not be regarded simply as deviant members of the second group.
C、Whenever most practitioners of a given discipline approach a particular problem in the same way, that uniformity is good evidence that all similar problems should also be approached in that way.
D、Whenever a society’s economic life is so organized that two distinct times of life are treated as being fundamentally different from one another, each time of life can be understood only in terms of its own distinct psychology.
E、Whenever psychologists agree that a single psychology is inedeuate ior two distant age groups, they should be prepared to show that there are greater differences between the two age groups than there are between individuals in the same age group.
答案 D
解析 心理学家的见解是：儿童和老年人是两个与众不同的群体，对他们的心理只能以各自独特的方式去研究。因此很明显选项(D)所描述的原理对本题的论证构成了最强有力的支持。其余的4个选项均不能从本题的论证中推出。
