As was discussed before, it was not【C2】______the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant preelectronic【C3】______. following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the【C4】______of the periodical (期刊). 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】______.

【C18】

选项 A、regarded
B、impressed
C、influenced
D、effected

答案C

解析 语义衔接题。注意空所在句的主语为“communications revolution”,宾语为work,leisure,howwe think and…,上文已经提到人们用“信息社会”来描述生活环境,很显然它对人类社会已产生了很大影响。[C]influenced意为“影响”,与语义相符,故为答案。[A]regarded意为“以为…”,主语一般为人而不能是communications revolution; [B]impressed意为“给…留下印象”,宾语一般为人而不能是work and leisure;[D]effected意为“使实施”,communications revolution与work and leisure无施动关系,故排除。
