选项 A、indeed
B、hence
C、however
D、therefore
答案C
解析 本题考查的是逻辑关系。本句说“人们已认识到20世纪初期电脑的使用改变了这一进程”，在意义上与上一段形成了转折，因此选C。indeed 的确；hence 因此，由此；therefore 因此。并列句是由两个或两个以上并列而又相互独立的简单句构成，各并列分句通常用并列连词来连接，有时也可在并列连词前加一个逗号。表示转折的连接性词或词组有however，still，nevertheless，anyhow，though，at any rate，in any case，in contrast，conversely，on the contrary，on the other hand，instead，after all，in the meantime，meanwhile，all the time 等。表示因果的连接性词或词组有 therefore，this，in consequence，consequently，accordingly，on that account，hence，in that case，as a result， then 等。表示强调的连接性词或词组有：in fact，as a matter of fact，of course，indeed，certainly 等。
