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【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 airplane. Not everyone sees that process in【C8】______.
    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.

"Benefits" have been weed【C20】______"harmful" outcomes: And generalizations have proved difficult.
【C9】
选项 A、indeed
B、hence
C、however
D、therefore
答案C
解析 语篇连接题。选项C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“20世纪初电脑的引进……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意为“确实，果然”；选项B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意为“所以”。C是正确答案。
