问题     When the Portuguese began trading with China in the early 1500s,【C1】______was one of the luxury goods they carried home in their ships. Only the Chinese knew how to make this delicate, often【C2】______, material that rings when you【C3】______it. Demand for porcelain made expressly for foreigners spread as far as the Netherlands, Germany, Persia, the Ottoman empire, Japan and the young United States.
    The Chinese【C4】______drew on traditional shapes, but quickly began to branch out, making Western tureens(汤盆)in the form of pigs, cocks, blue-eyed ox heads and crouching crabs, as well as【C5】______shaped as colourful fish. It was a world apart from the traditional Chinese porcelain.
    Now Chinese【C6】______are beginning to acquire them as homage to the【C7】______and commercial wisdom of their forebears. For the moment, though, the best collection is still in Brazil. It is the focus of a new three-volume study of 600【C8】______pieces.
    Maria Ant6 nia Pinto de Matos, director of the National Tile Museum in Lisbon, spent 11 years on this project. She tells the story of early【C9】______and the fascination with the crafty strategy of foreign trade with China and the many influences that flowed back and forth across the water. Her books document the【C10】______from tradition to Western shapes, among them are coffee pots. These books are expensive, but they are well worth the investment. This is the best work yet written on Chinese export porcelain and will be a resource for collectors, dealers for years to come.
A)exploration B)collectors C)outstanding D)translucent
E)break F)porcelain G)manufacturers H)hardware
I)transition J)receivers K)large amount of L)tap
M)sophistication N)enormous O)sauce plates [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 M
解析 根据下文的commercial wisdom of their forebears可以推测这里要填一个赞扬祖先的名词。分析句意可知这里讲的是：中国的收藏家们开始设法得到这些瓷器来对祖先复杂技艺和经济智慧表示敬意。在所给的选项中只有sophistication有“复杂，精密”的意思，符合要求。因此，选sophistication。
