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?
【C1】
选项 A、version
B、volume
C、selection
D、collection
答案B
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。空格前面的the fifth正好与后一句的主语the first volume形成一个关联话题，既然先说了“第五”之后，又说第一卷，当然“第五”为“第五卷”，正确选项为volume。volume“卷，册”，如：a set of Dickens’works in 24 volumes 24卷一套的狄更斯作品集。version“版本”，指一件文学或艺术作品改编为另一种媒介或形式，如：I prefer the film version of his novel．我更喜欢根据他的这部小说拍成的电影。version还有一个常用意义为“翻译，译本”，如：These books are Chinese versions of Shakespeare．这些书籍是莎士比亚作品的中译本。selection“选择物，精选品，文选”，指经过挑选淘汰之物，如：She strongly recommended that we read Selections from Charles Dickens．她强烈推荐我们阅读《狄更斯选集》。collection“收藏品，搜集的东西”，如：Our library has a large collection of books．我们的图书馆里有大量藏书。
