考句：In southern Europe there was more continuity from earlier settlement patterns.Growth came less from the creation of new towns than from the flow of immigrants to old settlements.

It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that urban growth in southern Europe was marked by

A. more people in a greater number of towns

B. more people in the same number of towns

C. development of new settlement patterns

D. movement of people into newly created towns

解析：

第一句话“In southern Europe there was more continuity from earlier settlement patterns.”属于抽象语言，对抽象语言的理解，一靠大量阅读的积淀，二靠向下文寻找具体对应。此句中的抽象概念“more continuity from earlier settlement patterns”，具体对应到下句的“the flow of immigrants to old settlements”。因为“less A than B”中，A是否定内容，B才是作者重点叙述的肯定内容。

所以综合两句信息来看，南欧地区城镇的增长是来自于移民涌入原有的老的定居点，而不是去建造新的定居点/新城镇。所以正确答案选B。
