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?
【C11】
选项 A、laggard
B、unpractical
C、advanced
D、advancing
答案C
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。句子前半句讲了中国的四大发明，这部分虽用了表转折的but，但从含义上看是讲此书不仅讲四大发明这些众所周知的事实，还将其他的发明也添加了进去。既然是发明创造，理所当然应具有先进性。选项中advanced意为“先进的，新式的”，如：Advanced technology has been introduced into China from the West since the reform of our country．改革以来我国引进了西方国家的先进技术。advancing“向前的，前进的”，指往前推进，如：advancing working前进式开采。laggard “迟缓的，落后的”，unpractical“不切实际的，不实用的”，与上下文冲突，因此，均不符题意。
