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.

选项 A、make up with
B、catch up with
C、close up
D、patch up with

答案 B

解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。前面说中国在中世纪落后于西方国家,那么in recent years(最近几年),中国政府要努力做的自然是“赶上西方国家”,catch up with意为“赶上”.如:We managed to catch up with the advanced technical level.我们努力赶上了先进技术水平。可见,catch up with应为正确选项。make up with“以……补足,以……弥补”,如:I don’t think you can make up the loss with money.我不认为你可以用钱来弥补损失。close up“关闭,堵住”,如:The windows are closed up with brick.窗子都用砖砌死了。patch up“修补”,如:The tailor was patching up an old coat when I went in.我进去时,裁缝正修补一件旧外套。这几个短语都不合题意。
