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【C21】______. As was discussed before, it was not【C22】______the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic【C23】______, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the【C24】______of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution【C25】______up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading【C26】______through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures【C27】______the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in【C28】______. It is important to do so.
    It is generally recognized,【C29】______, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,【C30】______by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process,【C31】______its impact on the media was not immediately【C32】______. As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as【C33】______, with display becoming sharper and storage【C34】______increasing. They were thought of, like people,【C35】______generations, with the distance between generations much【C36】______.
    It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the【C37】______within which we now live. The communications revolution has【C38】______both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been【C39】______views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed【C40】______"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.
【C11】
选项 A、unless
B、since
C、lest
D、although
答案D
解析 考查逻辑关系。空格前文提到，计算机的出现大大改变了这种进程，下文又说它对媒体的影响没有立即见效。显然，前后句是让步关系，意为“极大地改变了这一进程，虽然对媒体的影响并没有立即见效。”因此选D．although“虽然”。unless“除非”，since“自从”，lest“以免”，均不符合题意。
