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 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 air plane. 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.

   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.
【C19】
选项 A、competitive
B、C6ntroversial
C、distracting
D、irrational
答案B
解析 本题的考点是词义辨析。首先我们可以排除A，它无法和view搭配。横线所在的部分由but来引导，说明它和前者之间的意思相反。前文中提到信息革命在多方面对人们产生了影响，横线处提出“但是关于其在经济、政治、社会和文化上的含义的看法却______”，而且从最后一句的and generalizations have proved difficult(现在很难有统一的看法)可知，人们对通信革命的看法是不统一的，因此，该看法是有争议的，所以正确的答案是B。
