选项 A、process
B、company
C、light
D、form
答案B
解析 company此题属于语意搭配题。上文中的in the wake of the pamphlet and the book意为“紧紧跟随着小册子和书籍的出现”，据此可以判断与此相对应的应该是in the company of theperiodical(伴随着期刊的兴起)。所以[B]是正确答案。in the company of表示“在……的陪同下，伴随着”，例如：I traveled Egypt in the company of two teachers．(我在两个老师的陪同下游览了埃及。)选项[A]：in the process表示“在进行中”，例如：The newlibrary is in the process of being decorated．新图书馆在进行装修中。选项[C]：in thelight of表示“鉴于，依据……看来”，例如：In the light of the accident，we have put off themeeting till next week．(鉴于这次事故，我们已经把会议推迟到下个星期。)选项[D]：inthe form of表示“以……的形状”，例如：The cookies were in the form of stars．(那些饼干的形状都像星星。)全句可译为：直到19世纪，伴随着小册子、书籍和期刊的兴起，报纸成为前电子时代主要的媒体。
