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【C21】______. As was discussed before, it was not【C22】______the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic【C23】______, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the【C24】______of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution【C25】______up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading【C26】______through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures【C27】______the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in【C28】______. It is important to do so.
    It is generally recognized,【C29】______, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,【C30】______by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process,【C31】______its impact on the media was not immediately【C32】______. As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as【C33】______, with display becoming sharper and storage【C34】______increasing. They were thought of, like people,【C35】______generations, with the distance between generations much【C36】______.
    It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the【C37】______within which we now live. The communications revolution has【C38】______both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been【C39】______views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed【C40】______"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.
【C6】
选项 A、on
B、out
C、over
D、off
答案A
解析 考查副词辨析。从结构上看，空格所在部分中的beginning with…和leading…都是现在分词状语成分，说明通信革命是怎样加速发展的：先从运输和铁路开始，紧接着是电报、电话、收音机和电影，直到20世纪汽车和飞机的出现。四个选项只有副词on可以表示“继续，向前”的含义，用在句子中强调“电报、电话、收音机和电影行业推动通信革命的继续发展”。其他out，over，off均不符题意。
