    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】______.

选项 A、decided
B、made
C、set
D、set up
答案 C
解析 词汇题。固定搭配词组的词义辨析题。set意为“确定，规定”，set a tone“定调”，为常用搭配，指为某事确定基本原则等，如：She set the tone in her opening address．她在开幕辞中定下了调子。此处指本书第一卷为整套著作定下了基调，因此，选set。set up表“创立，开办”，如：After ten years of hard work，he set up his own company．经过十年的努力，他创立了自己的公司。decided“决定”，指影响或决定……的结果，如：A few votes decided the election．一些选票决定了选举的结果。made含义非常多，但不与tone搭配使用表“定调”。
