These days we hear lots 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 has been completely discarded. In a number of countries the victory has been completed. The people rule; the great millennium 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 leveled out if you provide everybody with the same educational opportunities. 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 fittest, and might is right are still with us. The spread of education has destroyed the old class system and created a new one. Rewards are based on merit. For aristocracy "read meritocracy"; in other respects, society remains unaltered: the class system is rigidly maintained.
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. Private schools offer unfair advantages over state schools are not banned. In this way, the new meritocracy can perpetuate itself to a certain extent: an able child from a wealthy home can succeed far more rapidly than his poorer counterpart. Wealth is also used indiscriminately to further political ends. 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 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 become 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.
According to the author, the same educational opportunities can’t get rid of inequality because______.
选项
A、the principle survival of the fittest exists
B、nature ignores equality in dispensing brains and ability
C、material rewards are for genuine ability
D、people have the freedom to educate their children
答案
B
解析
根据题干关键词定位到文章第二段第一、二句。由关键信息nature dispenses brains and ability with a total disregard for the principle of equality(自然界区分了人的智慧和能力, 平等原则就完全被打破)可知,人的智力和能力是不平等的根源,故B项“自然界在分赋人 智慧和能力是不会顾及平等”符合题意。A项“适者生存的原则存在”、C项“物质报酬以真 正的能力为基础”和D项“人们可以自由地教育他们的孩子”都不是不平等的根源,故选B。
