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 21 As was discussed before, it was not 22 the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic 23 , following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the 24 of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution 25 up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading 26 through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures 27 the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in 28 It is important to do so.
It is generally recognized, 29 , that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century, 30 by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process, 31 its impact on the media was not immediately 32 . As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as 33 , with display becoming sharper and storage 34 increasing. They were thought of, like people, 35 generations, with the distance between generations much 36 .
It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the 37 within which we now live.

答案
B
解析
speed此题属于词语搭配题。本题主要考查动词短语的含义,这是考查的一个重点。speed up表示“加速”,例如:The train gradually speeded up.(火车逐渐加速了。)不难看出本句的含义是“在19世纪到20世纪之间,从火车、电报、电话到汽车、飞机,交通、通讯业的变革速度是越来越快”,故选[B]。gather up表示“收集”,例如:gather up one’s papers;workup表示“逐步发展”,例如:work up to a climax(渐至高潮);pick up表示“捡起,学会”,例如:pick up a few words.
