    51._________
    A:made up
    B:putup
    C:setup
    D:held up

    答案：C
    解析：
    研究中心的建立应该用set up（建立，设立，创办）来表示，其他选项都不能表示建立的意思。 make up组成，弥补北妆，编造；put up举起，张贴，提高；hold up举起，支撑。
    研究中心研发新技术，用的应该是研究技巧和相关设施。facility设施，设备；furniture家具；faculty能力，才能，全体教职工；factory工厂，制造厂。
    根据常理可知，研究中心研究新科技，服务的对象应该是国内的芯片厂。docile温顺的，驯服的；domestic家用的，国内的；domicile住所，永久住处，定居地；foreign国外的。
    本句中that引导的定语从句表明，远东国家的芯片厂从别国购买几乎过时的技术。这是一种处境或者情况，选项中只有situation能表达这个意思。sight景物，景象；skeleton骨架，骨骼，梗概；scene场面，现场，景象。
    结合上下文可知，该句描述的是目前芯片厂的处境，因此选择D项。traditionally传统上；surprisingly令人吃惊地，令人惊讶地；conventionally按照惯例，照老例；currently目前，当前。
    根据常理可知，外国政府不允许别的国家从他们国家进口最先进的技术。外国政府不能阻止别的国家发明或创造先进技术，而别的国家又没有先进技术可供出口，根据排除法也可知D项正确。create创造；export出口；invent发明；import进口。
    外国政府之所以不让别的国家进口最先进的技术，是因为害怕他们用于军事目的。military军事的，军用的；social社会的，社交的；industrial工业的，产业的；economic经济的，经济学的。

You should base your composition on the following requirements.　　1. Give examples to show how advanced technology has changed the way we learn.　　2. Tell the advantages of the application of advanced technology in learning.

    正确答案：
    【参考范文】
    Advanced Technology Is Changing the Way We Learn With the development of technology, every aspect of our life has been changed and the way we learn is no exception. The use of computer is a good example. With the help of the computer and Internet we can learn a great amount of knowledge without going to the classroom and asking professors to answer the questions, and we can also get access to the books we want to read in various libraries through the Internet.
    With the application of advanced technology we can learn more easily and efficiently. For example, when we meet some new words while reading English articles, we don’t have to look the new words up in a dictionary. With a click, the computer’s electronic dictionary will immediately tell us the meaning of the new words. In addition, the computer can help us analyze our research data and finish papers more easily.
    In a word, advanced technology has changed the way we learn and has helped us a lot in our study.
