问题     Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16 th 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 communication 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.

【C1】
选项 A、between
B、before
C、since
D、later
答案A
解析 语义搭配题。选项A)between表示“在……之间”。考生可能熟悉between作介词的用法，却不了解它其实还可作为副词；根据全文，此处讲的应是前后两者之间的这段时间发生了很多变化；选项B)before表示“在……之前”，既可作介词，也可作连词；选项C)since表示“既然”，可作介词、连词，也可作副词；选项D)later表示“后来”。这三个选项都不符合题意。所以A)正确。
