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-e-lectronic【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 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】______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.

【C10】

选项 A、brought
B、followed
C、stimulated
D、characterized

答案B

解析 空格所在部分 100 by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s是插入成分,插在that引导的主语从句的主语the introduction of the computer和谓语radically changed之间,修饰从句的主语。从选项可看出空格处将填入过去分词,关键要判断主语计算机在20世纪早期问世和插人成分集成电路在20世纪60年代发明之间是什么联系,显然这两件事是时间先后关系。从词义上来看,只有follow表示时间先后关系,符合题意。本题最具干扰的选项是brought,但注意20世纪初期出现的电脑不可能由比它还晚(20世纪60年代)出现的集成电路所带来。
