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 for other peoples’ claims 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 less 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D
解析 推理判断题。本题提问的是下列哪项关于社会变革的说法是不正确的。根据文章第二段中“Within a society，social change is also likely to occur more frequentlyand more readily．．．in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learnedearly”可知，社会变革更容易发生在人们后期所学到的知识领域内，而不是人们更年轻时所学的。选项D与此不相符，所以答案为D。
