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【B1】______. As was discussed before, it was not【B2】______the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic【B3】______, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the【B4】______of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution【B5】______up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading【B6】______through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures【B7】______the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in【B8】______. It is important to do so.
    It is generally recognized,【B9】______, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,【B10】______by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process,【B11】______its impact on the media was not immediately【B12】______. As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as【B13】______, with display becoming sharper and storage【B14】______increasing. They were thought of, like people,【B15】______generations, with the distance between generations much【B16】______.
    It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the【B17】______within which we now live. The communications revolution has【B18】______both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been【B19】______views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed【B20】______"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.
【B12】
选项 A、apparent
B、desirable
C、negative
D、plausible
答案A
解析 考查形容词辨析。根据上下文可知虽然计算机的影响很大，但它刚出现时应该没有像现在这样得到这么广泛的使用，因此它对媒体的影响不是立刻就很明显的(apparent)，选A。desirable“令人满意的”；negative“否定的，消极的”；plausible“貌似可信的”；均与题意不符。
