D.People of a particular age and gender are not specialized in the technical knowledge of other groups.
参考答案
C
答案解析
C。本题考查作者的观点。根据题干将答案锁定在文章第二段。第二段讲述了非工业社会中生产制造与年龄和性别的关系。该段第二句提到In band sandtribesmanufacturingis often linked to age and gender.,从第三句话开始,作者进行了细节性的描述:女人做编织,而男人制作陶器,反之亦然。接着又提到“Most people‘of a particular age and gender share the technical knowledge associated with that age and gender.”,即,某个特定年龄和性别的群体都拥有与那个年龄和性别有关的技术知识。下文又举例说明:如果已婚女性通常编篮子,那么她们大多数都知道怎么编篮子。由此可知,本段第二句作者是想表达:在原始群落和部落,生产制造经常与年龄和性别相关,即,不同的年龄和性别群体有各自的工作任务。选项C符合此意,为答案。
