问题     The West has begun to take more notice of the East.
    The fifth【C1】______of an enormous【C2】______reassessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume,【C3】______was published twenty years ago,【C4】______the tone of the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which【C5】______, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made【C6】______in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received【C7】______protest by some reputable historians.【C8】______, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were【C9】______at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder【C10】______disputed, but this new history has added【C11】______bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddleboats and many【C12】______inventions to the list.
    In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain【C13】______China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern【C14】______. It is probable that the answer【C15】______in the social and economic history of China, where a static society【C16】______a relatively benevolent regime of scholar-gentry【C17】______the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to【C18】______the West again, and there is【C19】______doubt that the gap is being【C20】______year by year. But will China avoid the West’s mistake?
【C7】
选项 A、for
B、of
C、without
D、with
答案C
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。前一句说本书第一卷出版之前，西方历史学家认为那些发明为欧洲所有，后一句又讲到the evidence…has persuaded many historians，指前四卷提供的证据才使他们相信了这些发明为中国之首创，那么重写科技史一定会遇到阻力，因此，在这儿选without。本句为双重否定was not…without，表“不是没有遭受到反对”。with表达的含义与本句正相反，不合题意。for表目的，of表所属关系，也都与题意不合。
