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-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 railway, and leading【C6】______through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures【C7】______the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone see 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. They were thought of, like people【C15】______generations, with the distance between generations much 【C16】______.
It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the【C17】______within which we now live. The communications revolution has【C18】______both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been【C19】______view about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed【C20】______ "harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.
【C19】
选项
A、competitive
B、controversial
C、distracting
D、irrational
答案
B
解析
本句考查的是对形容词词义的辨析,根据句首的but 可知在意义上发生了转折,下文又提到了好处与坏处的权衡,并说很难下结论,因此应选B,controversial 有争议的。句意为“但是对于电脑在经济、政治、社会和文化方面的影响,人们还是有争议的”。competitive 竞争性的; distracting 转移注意力的;irrational 不理智的。
