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 railways 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】______.

【C17】
选项 A、context
B、range
C、scope
D、territory
答案A
解析 本题实际上是找一个与“information society”相对应的词，而“信息社会”应该是指我们所生活的时代、社会背景，而context不仅有我们所熟知的“上下文”之意，也指某一事件发生的环境、背景。而range则指一定的范围，如射程，音域，价格上下浮动的范围等；scope指活动范围或观察范围、眼界等；territory则指领土、领域、都没有环境、背景之意。
