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 between. As was discussed before, it was not until the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre- electronic(61), following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the(62)of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution(63)UP, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading on through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures into the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in(64). It is important to do so.
   It is generally recognized,(65), that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,(66)by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process, although its impact on the media was not immediately(67). As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as(68), with display becoming sharper and storage(69)increasing. They were thought of, like people,(70)generations, with the distance between generations much(71).
   It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the(72)within which we now live. The communications revolution has(73)both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been(74)view about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed(75)"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.

选项 A、context
B、range
C、scope
D、territory

答案A

解析 (72)空从本题所处的句子结构“the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the(72)within which we now live.”来看,本题受到两个已知信息点的限制,第一是作动词describe的宾语,即可以被information society这个词语描述;第二,受到后边定语从句的限制,且需要和介词within搭配。选项B range(范围)和选项C scope(范围)均表示平面的概念,不可能符合定语从句所表达意义的要求:而选项D territory(领土)显然不能用information society这个词语描述;只有选项A context(语境,在此引申为社会环境)符合两个信息点的要求。
