Not too many decades ago it seemed "obvious" both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people’ s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to kin and neighbors, and substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the "obvious" is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.
Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different stifle of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.
These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover, there may be a link between a community’s population size and its social heterogeneity. For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.
One of the consequences of urban life is that impersonal relationships among neighbors_____.
选项
A、disrupt people’ s natural relations
B、make them worry about crime
C、cause them not to show concern for one another
D、cause them to the suspicious of each other
答案
C
解析
细节题。关键词是consequences、impersonal relationships among neighbors(邻居 之间没有感情的关系),根据原文第三段第二句:如果邻居们互相都不认识,那么他们 就不太可能为居住在隔壁的老夫妇打扫人行道,或者注意小淘气鬼们。该句的条件关 系是一个重要的考点,经常转化成考查因果关系。因此C项正确答案。A项的错误在于 并不是邻居之间的冷漠破坏了人们之间的自然关系,两者间不存在因果关系;同样,邻 居关系的疏远也不是他们担心犯罪的原因,也没有造成邻里之间互相猜疑,故选项B、D 也不对。
