选项 A、between
B、before
C、since
D、later
答案 A
解析 解此题关键看两个方面，一是理解文章第一句话的含义：人们曾对20世纪电视的发展以及15世纪和16世纪印刷术的传播进行比较。二是注意转折连词yet的用法，yet一般标志着接下来的内容与前面的内容出现了较大的不同，如：She said she wouldbe late，yet she arrived on time．(她说她会迟到，但她却准时到达了。)文中第二句话结构非常简单，主语和谓语都无法体现与第一句话的强烈对照，这时只能通过空格里填入的时间状语来体现了，因此这个时间副词应与第一句话中的时间状语in the 20th century和in the 15th and 16th centuries相呼应并对照。接下来关键看这个时间副词表示的哪个时间段，15和16世纪之前，20世纪之后还是两者之间。其实从下文中的the 19th cen—tury也可以推断正确答案是between，即然而，在这两个时段之间却发生了很多事情。
