问题     Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries. Yet much had happened【C1】______. As was discussed before, it was not【C2】______the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant preelectronic【C3】______. following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the【C4】______of the periodical (期刊). It was during the same time that the communications revolution【C5】______up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading【C6】______through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures【C7】______the 20th-century world of the motor car and the airplane. Not everyone sees that process in【C8】______. It is important to do so.
    It is generally recognized,【C9】______. that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,【C10】______by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process,【C11】______its impact on the media was not immediately【C12】______. As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as【C13】______. with display becoming sharper and storage【C14】______increasing. They were thought of, like people, in【C15】______of generations, with the distance between generations much【C16】______.
    It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the【C17】______within which we now live. The communications revolution has【C18】______both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been【C19】______views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed【C20】______"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult. [br] 【C19】
选项 A、competitive
B、controversial
C、distracting
D、irrational
答案 B
解析 语义衔接题。本空所填词用来修饰views“观点”，且由but和下句的“Benefits”和“harmful”outcomes可知人们对电脑也有争议。[B]controversial意为“有争议的，可能引起争论的”，与此处语义相符，故为答案。本句意为：通信革命对工作、休闲以及人们思考和感受时空的方式都产生了影响，但是也产生了关于经济、政治、社会以及文化的不同看法。[A]competitive“竞争性的”常与area／field等搭配；[C]distracting“转移注意力的”不能用来修饰views；[D] irrational意为“不理智的”。
