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.

选项 A、widened
B、overlooked
C、neglected
D、reduced
答案 D
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。原因同上句，经政府努力，差距当然应缩小。reduce“缩小”，如：They made great efforts to reduce their household expenses．他们尽量削减家用开支。widen“加宽”，如：They widened the path．他们拓宽了小径。overlook“宽容”，指有意或故意忽略，如：Mother over-looked her little son’s fault．母亲宽恕了年幼儿子的过失。overlook还可表“忽视，忽略，漏看”，如：They overlooked the enormous risks involved．他们忽略了所牵涉到的极大危险。总之，overlook暗含“由于粗心、放任而没看出或采取行动”。neglect也指“忽略”，但还有“无视，不顾”之意，如：They neglected his warning．他们把他的警告当作耳边风。后三项均与题意不符。
