问题    Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.
    Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values: in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early: in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites: in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones: in form rather than in substance: and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
选项 A、Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of society.
B、Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to slow down social change.
C、Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society.
D、Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were young.
答案B
解析 根据文章第二段可知，社会变革更容易发生在文化的物质方面，而不是非物质方面；在人们后来所学到的，而非人们早期所学到的方面；在非社会基础和非社会情感方面，而不是在社会基础和社会情感方面。故A、C、D三项正确。由第一段的第一、二、三句可知，意见不同、争论很多的社会更容易发生变革。故选项B不正确。
