网考网解析：
[解析] 本题为语用理解题，要求考生通过对听力材料的理解，推断出说话者所说话语的语用功能。教授所说这段话的中文意思是：为什么我们总觉得人们到了60岁或65岁的时候突然间发生的变化要比人们到达21岁时所发生的变化大呢 结合教授所说的下句话：“Now that the computer age has arrived in industry, the normal age for retirement may be lowered to 60 or even 55. Shall we then say that old age begins at 55 (现在我们正处于电脑化的工业时代，正常的退休年龄可能降至60岁甚至55岁。那么我们是不是要说，老年阶段从55岁就开始了 )”，我们可以推断教授的意思是：老年人可以和年轻人一样强壮。因此该题选择C项。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
