参考答案

C

答案解析

【设题处】对比处设题
【解析】选[C]。文章第二段开头说社会变迁更经常发生在物质领域而不是非物质领域,随后举例说in technology rather than in values;in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early,因此[A]、[B]错误。还说in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposite,这说明基本的和感情上的东西会减缓社会变迁,故[C]正确。原文还说in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements,说明奇怪的因素不易导致社会变迁,敌[D]错误。
