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?
【C19】
选项 A、little
B、a little
C、few
D、a few
答案A
解析 语法题。空格修饰的名词doubt为不可数名词，因此选项只有little或a little具有可能性。从句子上下文含义看，我们知道政府在努力追赶西方国家，文中用and连接政府的努力和“对此结果的怀疑”，其意显然应为“没什么可怀疑”才符合逻辑，选项中只有little表否定意义，因此，此选项为正确答案。little“很少，几乎没有”，如：I know little of their school．我不怎么了解他们学校。a little“少量”，指分量或数量小，但没有否定含义，如：She knows a little English．她懂一点英语。而few意为“很少，几乎没有”，意义与little相同，但只能修饰可数名词。a few意为“一些，少量”，意义与a little相同，但只能修饰可数名词。
