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?
【C16】

选项 A、with
B、within
C、through
D、under

答案D

解析 词汇题。惯用法题。空格中的介词后面的宾语中心词为regime(政权,体制),指社会系统或模式,regime常与介词under搭配使用,表“在……政权统治下,在……体制之下”,如:Things will change under the new regime.在新政权治理下,情况会有所改变。文章此处意为“在……社会形式下”,因此,under为正确答案。而其他三选项with,within和through与regime搭配使用都无此含义。
