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.

【C3】
选项 A、means
B、method
C、medium
D、measure
答案C
解析 考查名词辨析。句子主语是newspaper，句意为“报纸继宣传册和书之后成为电子时代到来前主要的 ”。从句意来看，空格处填入的名词应概括newspaper，pamphlet和book的共同特点，根据常识，报纸、宣传册和图书都只能是传播信息的媒介(medium)，因此选C。means“手段，工具”；method“方法”；measure“手段，策略”，均不符合题意。
