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? [br] 【C5】
选项
A、before then
B、after then
C、by then
D、until then
答案
D
解析
篇章题。上下文理解题。纵观全文,尤其是对中国四大发明的肯定,可判断此套著作是对中国发明创造的承认。另外,介绍第五卷出版时,指出本巨著reassessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology(重新估价中国人民对科技的贡献)。之后谈到第一卷的出版就为整套著作定了调。因此,根据上下文,本句中的evidence“证据”应支持这种说法,因此,此处的含义应为“这些发明是属于中国的”。由此而推,西方历史学家因此书知道了这种情况。空格后的含义是“西方历史学家宣称为欧洲的发明创造”,那么该书出版后就不应继续持此观点,因此,空格含义应为“直到该书出版”,只有选项until then(一直到那时——指该书出版之时)符合。until指“到……为止,在……以前”,指某一情况一直持续到某一时候为止,之后便不再如此,如:Go straight on until you come to a large building.一直往前走,直到你走到一座大楼(之后便不要再继续往前走)。be—fore then也表“在那时之前”,但没有“到那时为止”的含义,因此,不能像until then这样准确表示本句的客观实际情况,即因书的出版西方历史学家改变了其原有的看法。after then“那时之后”,此选项与文章主题有冲突,如果是书出版了之后西方历史学家还认为这些发明创造属于欧洲国家,那么这套书最基本的意义就不存在;另外,从句子时态上来看,与过去完成时had claimed也不符。by then“到那时为止”,指从某个时候开始直到某个时候结束完成某事,如:By then,I will have finished two of his books.到那时,我会读完他的两本书。本句没有直到某时完成某事的含义。
