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 21 As was discussed before, it was not 22 the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic 23 , following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the 24 of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution 25 up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading 26 through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures 27 the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in 28 . It is important to do so.
    It is generally recognized, 29 , that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century, 30 by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process, 31 its impact on the media was not immediately 32 As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as 33 , with display becoming sharper and storage 34 increasing. They were thought of, like people, 35 generations, with the distance between generations much 36 .
    It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the 37 within which we now live.

选项 A、indeed
B、hence
C、however
D、therefore
答案C
解析 此题属于语篇连接题。选项[C]however表示“然而”，插人句中，前后要用逗号隔开，例如：Certainly he apologized．However，I won’t forgive him．本题所在的句子很长，又出现了四个空格，这就需要考生同时考虑分析句子的语法关系和关键词语的搭配。上文说到“观察过程本身是很重要的”；本句中又提到“20世纪初电脑的引进……彻底地改变了这个过程”。那么，可以判断上下文应该是转折的关系，所以选[C]。选项[A]indeed表示“确实，果然”，例如：I am indeed glad to hear the news．选项[B]hence表示“所以”，它后面的动词往往省略，例如：Her mother is a singer，hence her love for music．该选项也可作副词，表示“今后，从此”，例如：What will the world have become a hundred yearshence?选项[D]therefore都表示“所以”，例如：We don’t have enough money and therefore we have to give up the plan．
