Is it possible that the ideas we have today about ownership and property rights have been so universal in the human mind that it is truly as if they 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 America 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 an order of God. Of course, we are completely trained to accept the idea of ownership 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 individuals, didn’t own that plot of land, that house, that factory, that machine, that tower of wheat, how would we function? What would 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 the "fruit of labor." If I, alone or together with my family, work on the land 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 early 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 of 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, "That—that right there —is the fruit of my labor." We can say, as a society, 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 believe that the owner can make his claim, dependent on the extent to which those without stick.
Private ownership of property is described at the end of the passage as______.
选项
A、a production of early man’s manual work
B、a demand for greater productivity in industry
C、varying with the shift in human agreements
D、denied by socialized production and exchange
答案
C
解析
这是一道细节题。题干中的信号词为the end of the passage,也就是文章的最后一段。文章最后一段指出:我们必须认识到,财产的私人所有权是人为的,而且总是取决于无产者承认所有者能够提出所有权要求的程度,取决于无产者坚持的程度。这说明,财产的私人所有权被认为是不断变化的。C说“随着人类协定的变化而变化”,这与文章的意思相符。A明显与文章的意思不符;文中没有提到B和D。
