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 air plane. Not everyone sees that process in【C8】______. It is important to do so.

【C12】
选项 A、apparent
B、desirable
C、negative
D、plausible
答案A
解析 本题的考点是词义辨析。从上下文来看，我们可以推断出虽然计算机的影响很大，但这种影响有一个逐渐发展的过程，在刚开始的时候并不是很明显，因此选项A是符合题意的答案。选项B“desirable”强调的是一种主观的愿望，和文中的计算机的客观影响是不相符合的。选项C放在文章中讲不通。选项D无法修饰impact这个词，正确答案是A。
