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. The communications revolution has 38 both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been 39 view about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed 40 "harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.
选项
A、above
B、upon
C、against
D、with
答案
C
解析
against此题属于词语搭配题。选项[C]:against与weigh连用,表示“权衡(利弊)”,例如:Heweighed the advantages of changing his job against the disadvantages.(他把换工作的利弊加以权衡比较。)根据上文“通讯革命带来的结果还有争议”,可推断出本句的含义是:我们必须仔细权衡它所造成的利与弊。故选[C]。weigh above不存在。weigh upon表示“成为负担”,例如:He’s under huge pressure at work and it’s really weighing uponhim.(他的工作压力太大,已成为他的负担)。weigh with sb.表示“对……很重要”,例如:Access to the railway station weighed heavily with us.(对我们来说,能到火车站是很重要的)。
