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【C21】______. As was discussed before, it was not【C22】______the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic【C23】______, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the【C24】______of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution【C25】______up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading【C26】______through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures【C27】______the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in【C28】______. It is important to do so.
    It is generally recognized,【C29】______, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,【C30】______by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process,【C31】______its impact on the media was not immediately【C32】______. As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as【C33】______, with display becoming sharper and storage【C34】______increasing. They were thought of, like people,【C35】______generations, with the distance between generations much【C36】______.
    It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the【C37】______within which we now live. The communications revolution has【C38】______both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been【C39】______views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed【C40】______"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.
【C16】
选项 A、deeper
B、fewer
C、nearer
D、smaller
答案D
解析 考查形容词辨析及语境分析。根据文章判断，计算机代与代之间的距离应是变小，即更新换代的速度加快，因此答案选D．smaller。英文中不能用near形容distance来表达“距离近”，而只用small或big这类的词来形容距离的远近。deeper也不能形容距离。
