As was discussed before, it was not until the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic【C1】______ , following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the company of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution【C2】______ up, beginning with transport, the railway, and【C3】______ on through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures into the 20th-century world of the motor car and the airplane.

It is generally recognized, however, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century, followed by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s,【C5】______ changed the process, although its impact on the media was not immediately【C6】______ . As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as institutional, with display becoming sharper and storage【C7】______ increasing.

It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the context within which we now live. The communications revolution has【C8】______ both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been【C9】______ views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications.

选项
答案
A
解析
这里缺少谓语动词,且与up构成短语。空格后提到的运输、铁路,到电报、电话、收音机、电影,再到汽车、飞机,这是一个发展变化的过程,表明通讯革命(communications revolution)迅猛发展,只有speed up“加快速度”能体现这一语义。picked UP“捡起;接送”不符合语义。
