问题     The conception of God and nature and of the relation of man to both provided the 18th- century philosophers with their faith in the worth and dignity of the individual man and the efficacy of human reason. The 18th century was the moment in history when men experienced the first flush and freshness of the idea that man is master of his own fate; the moment in history, also, when this emancipating idea, not yet brought to the harsh test of experience, could be accepted with unclouded optimism.
    Never had the nature seemed less mysterious, more simply constructed, more open and visible and eager to yield its secrets to common-sense questions. Never had the nature of man seemed less perverse, or the intelligence and will of men more pliable (yielding) to rational persuasion. Never had social and political evils seemed so wholly the result of ignorance and superstition, or so easily corrected by the spread of knowledge and the construction of social institutions on a rational plan.
    The first task of political science was to discover the natural rights of man, the second to devise the form of government best suited to secure them. And for accomplishing this high task, for creating and maintaining a society founded on justice and equality, the essential freedom was freedom of the mind.
The initial words of this passage, "the conception of God and nature", refer certainly to ______ .

选项 A、God and nature as concepts created by humans
B、the initial creation of the nature by God
C、the creation of God Himself by human beings
D、the thinking of God and nature by humans

答案D

解析 词义题型见第一段第一句:有关上帝、自然以及人类与两者间关系的理念的形成使得18世纪的哲学家相信人类个体的价值和尊严以及人类理性的灵验;因为谈的是理念、哲学,因此答案为D。
