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-elec-tronic【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 important to do so.
    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.

And generalizations have proved difficult.
【C6】
选项 A、on
B、out
C、over
D、off
答案A
解析 事实上本题和下一个题目可以一起解答。因为第6空和第7空是所在句子整体中不可分割的两个部分。考生首先需判断选项巾哪个副词可以与lead和through搭配。首先排除over，它不能与lead搭配。从结构上看，空格所在部分中的beginning with…和leading…都是现在分词状语成分，说明通信革命是怎样加速发展的：开始于铁路运输，到电报、电话、收音机和电影，直到20世纪的汽车和飞机。四个选项只有副词on可以表示继续，向前的含义，用在句子中强调电报、电话、收音机和电影行业推动通信革命的继续发展。
