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 between. As was discussed before, it was not until the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre- electronic(61), following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the(62)of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution(63)UP, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading on through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures into the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in(64). It is important to do so.
   It is generally recognized,(65), that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,(66)by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process, although its impact on the media was not immediately(67). As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as(68), with display becoming sharper and storage(69)increasing. They were thought of, like people,(70)generations, with the distance between generations much(71).
   It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the(72)within which we now live. The communications revolution has(73)both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been(74)view about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed(75)"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.

选项 A、competitive
B、controversial
C、distracting
D、irrational

答案B

解析 (74)空首先分析下本题所在的句子结构以及上下文的关系。本题所在的句子是一个判断句式下定义:there have been(74)view about its economic,political,social and cultural implications.(关于计算机的经济、政治社会和文化意义有着…观点),其后的一句话“"Benefits" have been weighed(75)"harmful" outcomes.”(权衡比较计算机的益处和有害的影响)实际上就是具体说明了上一句中的“对计算机有着……观点”。上下两句实际有些相互呼应和支持的关系。所以答案是选项B controversial(有争议的、争论的)。
