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 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.  
【C12】
选项 A、apparent
B、desirable
C、negative
D、plausible
答案A
解析 语义衔接题。选项均为形容词而且由immediately修饰，首先排除C项negative“消极的，负面的”和 D项plausible“合理的”，，其次注意此形容词是针对its impact(这里的its指代的是computer)而言，不可能说影响是让人产生欲望的，故排除B项desirable；因此答案为A项apparent“明显的”。本句意为：20世纪初期出现的电脑虽然没有对传媒产生立竿见影的影响，但是却完全改变了发展进程。
