29、ve proved difficult.（分数：40.00）A.betweenB.beforeC.sinceD.later解析：解析 空格前一句提及两个时间段：20世纪和15、16世纪，四个选项均为时间副词，符合语义逻辑且能体现上句提到的两个时间段的关系的只有between，此句意为在这两个时间段之间发生了很多事。A.afterB.byC.duringD.until解析：解析 这里是一个强调句，强调部分为时间状语。空格前的否定词not决定了此处只能填入D项until，构成not until强调句式：it was not until.that。A.meansB.methodC.mediumD.m
30、easure解析：解析 空格后提及的pamphlet“小册子”，book“书籍”，periodical“杂志”与之属于同一类事物，空格处填入的词须概括它们的共同特点，四个选项中只有medium“媒介”符合要求。A.processB.companyC.lightD.form解析：解析 in the wake of the pamphlet and the book“继小册子和书籍之后”和in the _ of the periodical是并列结构，in the wake of表示“尾随”，与wake对应的只有B项company。A.gatheredB.speededC.workedD.pick

32、“进而”一起描述通信革命发展的全过程，四个选项只有into符合要求，与leading相呼应，表示“进入20世纪的汽车和飞机时代”。A.conceptB.dimensionC.effectD.perspective解析：解析 本题的难点在于理解perspective：该词在此处不表示“看法”，而是表示“正确认识”，in perspective意为“正确地，合理地”。concept“概念”；dimension“维度”；effect“效果，影响”。A.indeedB.henceC.howeverD.therefore解析：解析 上文的not everyone sees.“不是所有人都认识到”和本句的
33、It is generally recognized.“大家普遍承认”之间是一种转折关系，故C项however符合题意。A.broughtB.followedC.stimulatedD.characterized解析：解析 上文提到计算机在20世纪早期问世，本句说集成电路在20世纪60年代发明，从时间状语可知计算机问世在前，集成电路发明在后，因此选B项followed“跟随”。bring“引发”；stimulate“促进”；characterize“以为特色”。A.unlessB.sinceC.lestD.although解析：解析 此处前半句讲计算机的出现从根本上改变了这一进程，后半句讲计算
34、机对媒介的影响不是马上的，前后之间存在转折让步关系，故选although。A.apparentB.desirableC.negativeD.plausible解析：解析 联系上下文，计算机的出现从根本上改变了通信革命的进程，但它对于媒介的影响当时并没有立刻。空格处需填入形容词，说明计算机对媒介影响的特点，apparent“显而易见的”合乎语义要求。desirable“合意的”；negative“否定的”；plausible“似乎合理的”。A.institutionalB.universalC.fundamentalD.instrumental解析：解析 as well as“不仅而且”表明空格

36、填入的介词短语与generations搭配，表示“电脑像人一样用代来划分”。能引出generations这个划分依据只有B项in terms of“根据”。by means of意为“凭借”，但多指借助工具或手段。A.deeperB.fewerC.nearerD.smaller解析：解析 这里是“with+宾语(distance)+形容词”结构，填入该空的形容词作宾补，对distance起补充说明的作用。此处的distance指的是距离，四个选项能描述“距离”的只有small。A.contextB.rangeC.scopeD.territory解析：解析 空格处是下文定语从句within wh
