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?
【C18】
选项 A、make up with
B、catch up with
C、close up
D、patch up with
答案B
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。前面说中国在中世纪落后于西方国家，那么in recent years(最近几年)，中国政府要努力做的自然是“赶上西方国家”，catch up with意为“赶上”．如：We managed to catch up with the advanced technical level．我们努力赶上了先进技术水平。可见，catch up with应为正确选项。make up with“以……补足，以……弥补”，如：I don’t think you can make up the loss with money．我不认为你可以用钱来弥补损失。close up“关闭，堵住”，如：The windows are closed up with brick．窗子都用砖砌死了。patch up“修补”，如：The tailor was patching up an old coat when I went in．我进去时，裁缝正修补一件旧外套。这几个短语都不合题意。
