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 between. As was discussed before, it was not until the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre- electronic(61), following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the(62)of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution(63)UP, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading on through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures into the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in(64). It is important to do so.
   It is generally recognized,(65), that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,(66)by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process, although its impact on the media was not immediately(67). As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as(68), with display becoming sharper and storage(69)increasing. They were thought of, like people,(70)generations, with the distance between generations much(71).
   It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the(72)within which we now live. The communications revolution has(73)both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been(74)view about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed(75)"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.

选项 A、indeed
B、hence
C、however
D、therefore

答案C

解析 (65)空的选项是用来表明上下文的逻辑关系,通过分析上下文的逻辑关系就可以确定答案。文章的第一段讲述人类在19世纪出现了许多信息产物,而且这些产物是重要的(It is important to do so.)。然而,本段的首句说"It is generally recognized,(64),that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,radically changed the process.”(20世纪初计算机的发明激进地改变了人类信息发展的进程)。作者在这里暗指虽然19世纪有那么多信息产物,但计算机的发明才是最有影响的。因此,上下文是明显的转折关系,答案是however。
