As was discussed before, it was not【C2】______ the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic【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,  in【C15】______ of generations,  with the distance between generations much【C16】______ .

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.

【C6】
选项 A、on
B、out
C、over
D、off
答案A
解析 逻辑衔接题。注意空所在句简单地概括了信息革命的三个阶段，beginning with... and leading 72 through... and...，从逻辑上分析这三个阶段信息革命的发展在逐步递进，由此可知答案为A项，lead on 意为“继续，向前”。lead out与lead off 均为“开始”，lead与over不搭配。本句意为“19世纪通讯革命的发展，从交通、铁路开始，发展到电报、电话、无线电和电影，直到20世纪的汽车和飞机”
