14、ey had sprung from the mind of God? By no means. The idea of owning and property emerged in the mists of unrecorded history, The ancient Jews, for one, had a very different outlook on property and ownership, viewing it as something much more temporary and tentative than we do.The ideas we have in Am

15、erica about the private ownership of productive property as a natural and universal right of mankind, perhaps of divine origin, are by no means universal and must be viewed as an invention of man rather than a decree (order) of God. Of course, we are completely trained to accept the idea of ownershi

16、p of the earth and its products, raw and transformed. It seems not at all strange； in fact, it is quite difficult to imagine a society without such arrangements. If someone, some individual, didn, t own that plot of land, that house, that factory, that machine, that tower of wheat, how would we func

17、tion? Whatwould the rules be? Whom would we buy from and how would we sell?It is important to acknowledge a significant difference between achieving ownership simply by taking or claiming property and owning what we tend to call thefruit of labor.If I, alone or together with my family, work on the l

18、and and raise crops, or if I make something useful out of natural material, it seems reasonable and fair to claim that the crops or the objects belong to me or my family, are my property, at least in the sense that I have first claim on them. Hardly anyone would dispute that. In fact, some of the ea

19、rly radical workingmen，s movements made (an ownership) claim on those very grounds. As industrial organization became more complex, however, such issues became vastly more intricate. It must be clear that in modern society the social heritage of knowledge and technology and the social organization o

20、f manufacture and exchange account for far more of the productivity of industry and the value of what is produced than can be accounted for by the labor of any number of individuals. Hardly any person can now point and say, aThat-that right there-is the fruit of my labor.” We can say, as a society,

21、as a nation-as a world, really-that what is produced is the fruit of our labor, the product of the whole society as a collectivity.We have to recognize that the right of private individual ownership of property is man-made and constantly dependent on the extent to which those without property believ

22、e that the owner can make his claimsnake his claim dependent on 词汇注释the extentto which those without stick.1.2.3.spring from private ownership decreeby decree起因于, 私有制（权） 法令, 依法令出身（的家庭），发生宣告；（法院的）判决，命令听力原文当今已经普遍深入人心的有关所有权和财产权的思想，有没有可能被认为是来自上帝思想中的真理？这决不可能。举例说，在有文字记载前的历史中叶，古犹太人所创立的所有权和财产权思想就与当今不同，他们将财产

23、和所有权看成是更加具有暂时性和尝试性的东西。美国将生产性财产的私人所有制看成是人、也许是神所赐予的一种自然和普遍的权利。这种思想并不全面，而且私有制应该被看作是人类的创造，而不应该是上帝的旨意。当然，我们经过完全驯化去接受关于土地及其产品所有权方面的思想，会很自然地转变我们的观念。这看上去一点儿都不陌生，事实上我们也很难想象，没有这种排列的社会将会是什么样子。如果某人，某个个体不拥有那片土地，那栋房子，那台机器，那个麦垛，我们怎么办？条例规定源自何方？我们向谁购买又如何销售？重要的是，我们要了解通过简单获取或声明财产来实现所有权与通过拥有所谓的“劳动果实”来实现所有权之间的巨大差别。如果我自己

24、或与家人一起在土地上耕作、收获，或者，如果我将自然材料做成有用的物件，我就好像能合理公正地声称所收获的庄稼或所制作的物件属于我或我的家庭，它们是我的财产，至少我对它们有第一认领权。没人会对此产生争议。实际上，对于人类早期基本劳作的所有权要求是非常根本的。而对于工业组织来讲，所有权要求就变得比较复杂，有关所有权的问题也变得更加难以理解。但我们必须清楚的是，在现代社会里，知识和技术的社会传统以及制造业和交流沟通的社会组织，更多依赖的是工业的生产率和产品的价值，而不是每一个体的劳动。现在，没有人能够指着说:”那个，就是那边那个，是我的劳动果实。”真的，我们只能是作为一个社会，一个国家，一个世界，说这

25、是我们的劳动成果，是全社会的集体产物。我们必须认识到，财产私人所有权是人为的，而且总是取决于无产者在多大程度上承认有产者，并使有产者的所有权要求站得住脚。第20题：According to the text, the concept of ownership probably.A. resulted from the concept of ownership probably.B. stemmed from the uncovered prehistoric ages.C. arose from the generous blessing of the Creator.D. originate

26、d from the undetected distant periods.参考答案：B答案解析：B由题干可知，此题的依据是第一段。四个选项中的动词短语；resulted from, stemmed from, arose from, originated from 意思基本相同，即“发生；源于；来自”。要识别其正误只能依据其名词部分：A unrecognized ancient histoiry （未被承认的古代史）不同于文中的unrecorded histor （无文字记载的历史）。C的the Creator即God,而它已被文中的By no means（绝不是）给否定掉了。D的undet

27、ected distant period（未被查明的久远时期）因意思含混而不宜采用。只有B的prehistoric ages（史前时期）与此意相当，因而为正确答案。第21题：The author deems private ownership to be.A. a necessary invention of mankind.B. an inherent right of a human being.C. a permanent arrangement for society.D.an explicit idea of some individuals.参考答案：A答窠解析：A作者对priva

28、te ownership （私有制/权）的看法表现在第二段：私有制“应看作是人类的创造，而不是上帝的decree（旨意）；一个没有such arrangements（第22题：We learn by inference that private property may.A. be viewed as a design of inventive powers.B. be treated as a discovery of our ancestors.C. function as the universal rule of trading.D. serve as the basis of mar

29、ket economy.参考答案：D答案解析：D题干中的private property （私有财产）表明，答案要从第二段末尾3句推断。A的inventive powers（发明创造力）,显然不对,B亦如此。C不合逻辑：私有财产不能是rule（规则，法则）。只有D符合末句意思：因市场经济就是买卖交易，其基础自然是私有财产。第23题：It is reasonable to claim one, s own fruit of labor because.A. his labor accounts for the product and its value.B. he has the priorit

30、y to lay claim on the product.C. his labor is widely recognized and respected.D. he has the grounds for making claims first.参考答案：A答案解析：A分析题干可知，此题出自第三段第2句。A“他的劳动accounts for（导致，引起，造成）产品及其价值”符合句意，为正确答案。B、C两项与句意不一致。D未说明对什么优先提出claims（所有权要求）。故此三项皆不对。第24题：Private ownership of property is described at the

31、end of the textas.A. a production of early man，s manual work.B. a demand for greater productivity in industryC. varying with the shift in human agreements.D. denied by socialized production and exchange.参考答案：C答案解析：c此题考查对末段内容的理解。末段说，工业社会的财产私有权是人为的，而且总是取决于无产者在多大程度上承认有产者能使其所有权要求站得住脚。由此可见，C说法正确。其余三项皆不合题

32、意。These days we hear a lot of nonsense about the great classless society. The idea that the twentieth century is the age of the common man has become one of the great cliches of our time. The same old arguments are put forward in evidence. Here are some of them: monarchy as a system of government ha

33、s been completely discredited. The monarchies that survive have been deprived of all political power. Inherited wealth has been savagely reduced by taxation and, in time, the great fortunes will disappear altogether. In a number of countries the victory has been complete. The people rule； the great

34、millenium has become a political reality. But has it? Close examination doesn，t bear out the claim.It is a fallacy to suppose that all men are equal and that society will be levelled out if you provide everybody with the same educational opportunities.(It is debatable whether you can ever provide ev

35、eryone with the same educational opportunities, but that is another question.) The fact is that nature dispenses brains and ability with a total disregard for the principle of equality. The old rules of the jungle,survival of the fittest9, and might is right are still with us. The spread of educatio

ForcaristocracyJ readcmeritocracy；in other respects, society remains unaltered: the class system is rigidly maintained.Genuine ability, animal cunning, skill, the knack of seizing opportunities, all bring materia

37、l rewards. And what is the first thing people do when they become rich? They use their wealth to secure the best possible opportunities for their children, to give them a good start in life, For all the lip-service we pay to the idea of equality, we do not consider this wrong in the western world. P

38、rivate schools which offer unfair advantages over state schools are not banned because one of the principles in a democracy is that people should be free to choose how they will educate their children. In this way, the new meritocracy can perpetuate itself to a certain extent: an able child from a w

It would be almost impossible to become the leader of a democracy without massive financial backing. Money is as powerful a weapon as ever it was.In societies wholly

40、dedicated to the principle of social equality, privileged private education is forbidden. But even here people are rewarded according to their abilities. In fact, so great is the need for skilled workers that the least able may be neglected. Bright children are carefully and expensively trained to b

41、ecome future rulers. In the end, all political ideologies boil down to the same thing: class divisions persist whether you are ruled by a feudal king or an educated peasant.词汇注释1. discredit损害，破坏，败坏(人的名声)不可信2. monarch国王，女皇，君主政体3. millenium千年the millenium千禧年4. bear out证头（某事）5. level out（升跌之后）呈平稳状态6. m

43、政体已经完全被摧毁，幸存下来的王公贵族已经被剥夺了一切政治权利，所继承的财产也被税收砍去了很多，到时候，巨大的财富将消失殆尽。而且在许多国家已经取得了全面的胜利，人民开始掌权，伟大的太平盛世己经成为政治现实。但是果真如此吗？深究之后也不尽然。人人平等，社会将为每一个人提供同等受教育的机会，这种假设的说法是很荒谬的。（你是否能为所有人提供平等的受教育机会虽然颇有争议，但那是另外一个问题。）事实上，人的天然智慧和能力根本与平等原则无关。因为老的丛林法依然如故：“适者生存”和“强权即为公理”。教育的普及虽然摧毁了旧的阶级体系，却建立了新的体系：按功劳取酬。“贵族统治”就是“英才统治”。在其他方面，社

44、会仍旧存在着严格的阶级制度。真正的能力、动物般的机敏狡猾、各种各样的技能以及善抓机会的诀窍，这一切都会带来物质报偿。人有钱了要做的第一件事是什么？通常会给孩子提供最好的教育机会，让他们“在生命中有个好的开端”。但是我们只是在口头上关注平等问题。而且在西方社会，我们也并不认为这有什么不妥。因为民主社会认为，人们有权利自由选择如何教育他们的孩子,所以允许私立学校优于公立学校。由此看来，新产生的英才教育在某种程度上就是永存的：一个富家子弟就要比穷苦人家的孩子取得更快的成功。另外，财富还可以同样用于长远的政治目的。因为没有强大的财政作后盾，几乎不可能成为民主国家的元首。金钱还同以往一样,仍是强有力的武

45、器。就是在崇尚完全社会平等、禁止特权私人教育的社会里，人民也要按能力取酬。实际上，社会需要的是大量的技术工人，而不会关注那些技能很差的人。要想成为未来的统治者，就是天分很高的孩子也需要精心昂贵地培育。总之，一切政治意识都将归结于一件事：不论你是被封建国王所统治还是被英才所统治，阶级划分仍然存在。A二十世纪平等的机遇并没有摧毁阶级（体系）。文章一开始就对“无阶级社会”的论点进行了反驳：有人认为君主政体已完全摧毁，幸存下来的王公贵族已经被剥夺了一切政治权力，继承的财产为税收大幅度的削减，到时候，巨大的财富将消失殆尽，在许多国家中，已全面胜利，人民进行统治，伟大的太平盛世已成为政治现实。作者认为，“

46、深入检查证实这一断言不实。”第二段提出了即使人人都获同样的受教育的机会，可人的天然智慧和能力和平等原则无关，适者生存，强权即公理依然存在。教育的普及摧毁了旧的阶级体系，却建立了新的体系：按劳取酬。贵族统治就是英才统治，可在其他方面，社会依然，阶级仍旧存在。后面两段集中论述了金钱的作用。第25题:What is the main idea of this passage?A. Equality of opportunity in the twentieth century has not destroyed the class system.B. Equality means money.C.

47、There is no such society as classless society.D. Nature can，t give you a classless society.参考答案：A答案解析：B金钱意味着平等是错误的。见第3题注释。C不存在无阶级社会。内容是对的，但不是本文的主题思想。D自然界不会赋予你一个无阶级社会。第26题：According to the author, the same educational opportunities can，t get rid of inequality because.A. the principle “Survival of the fittestn exists.B. nature ignores equality in dispensing brains and ability.C. material rewards are for genuine ability.D. people have the freedom how to educate their children.参考答案：B答案解析：B自然界在分赋于人智慧和能力时不会顾及平等。（见上题注释）A适者生存的原则存在。根据这一原则无智慧和能力者难以生存于社会。C物质报偿是根据人的真正能力。D人们有自由选择如何教育自己的孩子。这三项都基于一点一人的智
