问题      Like other forms of life on this planet, human beings face a basic task: to deal satisfactorily with their conflicts and thereby secure the advantages of community and cooperation. Unlike other forms of life, human beings are born with a capacity to reflect on this task and to search for better solutions by conscious thought and careful choices. The task of overcoming conflicts and achieving community life and cooperation arises because human beings are unable and unwilling to live in complete isolation. The advantages of cooperation and community life are so numerous and so obvious that they must have been evident to man from earliest times. By now, our ancestors have closed off the choice; for most of us the choice of total isolation from a community is, realistically speaking, no longer open. Nevertheless, however strongly human beings are driven to seek the company of one another, and despite thousands of years’ practice, they have never discovered a way in which they can live together without conflict. Conflict exists when one individual wishes to follow a line of action that would make it difficult or impossible for someone else to pursue his own desired. Conflict seems to be an incapable aspect of the community and consequently of human beings. Why conflict seems inescapable is a question that has troubled many people: philosophers, historians, social scientists, doubtless a great many ordinary propel." Conflict is built into the very nature of men and women," said James Madison," Human beings have diverse abilities, and these in turn produce diverse interests."
The main point of this passage is that______.
选项 A、human beings by their nature will always conflict with each other
B、James Madison made many thoughtful comments about human beings as social animals
C、our need for fellowship and the advantages of cooperation create communities
D、humans have not yet been able to achieve complete harmony and to live without conflict
答案A
解析 主旨题，文章开篇便指出人类像这个星球上的其它生命一样，需要较好地解决其间的冲突并保证群体及合作的优势，尤其就人类而言，之所以需要解决冲突并保持群体生活与合作，是因为人们不能够、也不愿意生活在完全隔离状态中，这些成为判断的主要依据，原文中只引用了James Madison的两句话，显然选项B与事实不符，故不正确，原文中同样没有群体缘何产生的叙述。
