问题     W. E. B Du Bois’ exhibit of African American history and culture at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle attracted the attention of a world of sociological scholarship whose value his work challenged. Du Bois believed that Spencerian sociologists failed in their attempts to gain greater understanding of human deeds because their work examined not deeds but theories and because they gathered data not to affect social progress but merely to theorize. In his exhibit, Du Bois sought to present cultural artifacts that would shift the focus of sociology from the construction of vast generalizations to the observation of particular, living individual elements of society and the working contributions of individual people to a vast functioning social structure.
The passage implies that Du Bois believed which of the following statements about sociology?

选项 A、It should contribute to the betterment of society.
B、It should study what people actually do.
C、It should focus on how existing social structures determine individual behavior.

答案A,B

解析 本题考查的是杜波依斯对社会学的看法,而非斯宾塞社会学家的看法。选项A对应第二句的they gathered data not to affect social progress,因此杜波依斯认为社会学应该要影响社会进步。B项对应第二句的Spencerian sociologists failed in their attempts to gain greater understanding of human deeds,因此杜波依斯认为社会学应该要研究人类的行为。C项杜波依斯确实分别提到社会结构和个体行为,但是没有提及二者的相互影响。
