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 pre-e-lectronic【C3】______, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the【C4】______of the periodical. 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,【C15】______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] 【C12】
选项 A、apparent
B、desirable
C、negative
D、plausible
答案 A
解析 空格所在句子是its impact on the media was not immediately 102 ，其中its指代的是the computer’s。首先排除plausible，因为不能说“影响不是立即似是而非的”。选项B和C两项是明显表达主观偏好的词，由全文在语气风格可知作者态度是比较中立客观的，最后的And generalizations have proved to be difficult表明作者没有对其影响做出“好”或“坏”的定论，所以与文意不符。根据上下文的逻辑，可推出虽然计算机的影响很大，但这个影响不是一蹴而就的，它刚出现时没有像现在这样得到这么广泛的使用，因此它对媒体的影响不是立刻就很明显的(apparent)。
