问题    Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideas of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history.
   The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are question the assumptions of their elders and disturbing their complacency. Who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilty in their personal lives? Can anything be right with the rat-race? Haven’t the old lost touch with all that is important in life?
   Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old—if they are prepared to admit it—could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not ’sinful’. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future.
The young cannot understand______ .
选项 A、why they should remember those old events
B、why their parents are so possessive of them
C、why they should receive better education
D、why the old often resort to violence or war to solve problems
答案D
解析 结合原文第二段，A、B、C三项都不符合文章意思，只有D项中的短语resort to表示“采取……，诉诸于……”，所以D项的意思是“为什么老一辈人总是采取暴力和战争来解决问题”，这个可以定位原文中的第二段“Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems?”这里的used其实就是resort to的意思。
