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? [br] 【C15】
选项 A、is found
B、is to be found
C、be found
D、has been found
答案 B
解析 语法题。前面一句说本著作没有解释中国没有赶上西方国家的原因，句子时态为现在完成时，此句提出可能在其他领域找到原因，说明直到目前为止仍未找到原因，因此“找到原因”只能在将来才能变为现实，选项中只有is to be found含有将来的意义。动词不定式表动作行为往往含有将来的含义，如：He even stayed up late to finish his essay in time．为了按时完成论文，他甚至熬夜。finish his essay针对动作stayed up late是指将来的动作。is found表目前的状态，而根据本句含义，目前还未找到原因。has been found“已经找到”也与句意不符。本句主句中的probable不要求从句动词用虚拟语气，从句主语为the answer，因此，不能用表虚拟的be found。
