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【C1】______, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the company of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution【C2】______up, beginning with transport, the railway, and【C3】______on through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures into the 20th-century world of the motor car and the airplane.

The communications revolution has【C8】______both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been【C9】______views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications.

选项

答案K

解析 填人的内容可以与in搭配,推测为名词的可能性大。难点在于perspective的熟词生义:该词在此处不表示“观点,看法”,而是表示“合理判断,正确认识”,in perspective意为“正确地,合理地”。此处意为“不是所有人都能正确地认识这个进程”。
