As was discussed before, it was notC2【C2】______ the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic【C3】______ , following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the【C4】______ of the periodical. 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 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】______ .

【C9】
选项 A、indeed
B、hence
C、however
D、therefore
答案C
解析 语篇连接题。选项C意为“然而”，插入句中，前后要用逗号隔开，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意为“确实，果然”；选项B意为“所以”，它后面的动词往往省略，该选项也可作副词，意为“今后，从此”；选项D意为“所以”。C是正确答案。
