【C9】
选项 A、indeed
B、hence
C、however
D、therefore
答案C
解析 语篇连接题。选项C)however意为“然而”，插入句中，前后要用逗号隔开，本题所在的句子很长，又出现了四个空格，这就需要考生同时考虑分析句子的语法关系和关键词语的搭配。上文说到“观察过程本身是很重要的”；本句中又提到“二十世纪初计算机的发明……彻底地改变了这个过程”。那么，可以判断上下文应该是转折的关系，所以选C)。选项A)indeed意为“确实，果然”；选项B)hence意为“所以”，它后面的动词往往省略，该选项也可作副词，意为“今后，从此”；选项D)therefore意为“所以”。
