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【C1】______. 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】______. As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as【C13】______. with display becoming sharper and storage【C14】______increasing. They were thought of, like people, in【C15】______of generations, with the distance between generations much【C16】______.
    It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the【C17】______within which we now live. The communications revolution has【C18】______both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been【C19】______views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed【C20】______"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.
【C10】
选项 A、brought
B、followed
C、stimulated
D、characterized
答案B
解析 语义衔接题。文中内容及常识告诉我们最早的电脑是在20世纪初期出现的，而20世纪60年代出现了集成电路(integrated circuit)，所以两者出现的时间顺序很明显，电脑在先，集成电路在后，故答案为[B]followed。[A]brought意为“带来”，说明集成电路问世在前，电脑问世在后，显然不符事实；[C]stimulated意为“激发，促进”，说明电脑是在集成电路的激发下产生，也不符合事实：be characterized by意为“以…为特点”，与原文语义不符，故排除[D]characterized。
