【单选题】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 GodBy 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 inAmerica 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 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 individual, 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 stick. According to the text, the concept of ownership probably
A、resulted from the unrecognized ancient history.
B． stemmed from the remote prehistoric times.

网考网解析：
由题干可知，此题的依据是第1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项 unrecognized ancient history(未被承认的古代史)不同于文中的 unrecorded history (无文字记载的历史)，但B项的remote prehistoric times(久远的史前时期)却与此意相当，因而可取。C项的 the Creator即God，而它已被文中的By no means(绝不是)给否定掉了。D项的 undetected distant period(未被查明的遥远时期)因意思含混而不宜采用。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
