第8题：
问答题Passage 1 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 between. As was discussed before, it was not 1 the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic medium, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the company of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution speeded 2 , beginning 3 transport, the railway, and leading on through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures into the 20th-century world 4 the motor car and the airplane. Not everyone sees that 5 in perspective. It is generally recognized, however, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century, followed 6 the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process, 7 its impact 8 the media was not immediately apparent. 9 time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became “personal” too, as 10 as institutional, with display becoming sharper and storage capacity 11 . They were thought of, like people, in terms of generations, with the distance between generations much smaller. It was within the computer age that the term “information society” began to be widely used to describe the context 12 we now live. The communications revolution has 13 both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, 14 there have been controversial views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. “Benefits” have been weighed 15 “harmful” outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.正确答案： 1. until 本句为It is not until…that…的强调句型,意思为“直到……才……”。这句话是说直到19世纪报纸才成为在电子时代之前最重要的媒介。
2. up speed up加速发展;超速行驶。这里表示通信革命加速发展,用speed up。speed up
3. with begin with以……开始。这里指通信革命以交通开始。
4. of 句意:信息革命以火车开始,引领各种产业继续发展,从电报、电话、无线电和电影,再到20世纪的汽车和飞机。本题填入of,
5. process 空格前面提到了信息革命逐渐加速的这一具体过程,空格后面提到一般认为计算机的引进和集成电路的发明从根本上改变了这个进程。由此可推测,此处意思为:并不是所有人都正确地看待这个过程。in perspective通盘地,正确地。
6. by “20世纪初计算机的采用”这个事件发生在前,而“20世纪60年代集成电路的发明”这个事件发生在后,所以用followed by表示“紧跟其后”。
7. although 上文讲述到计算机和集成电路的发明根本上改变了这个进程,而下文又叙述其对媒体的影响并没有即刻体现出来,所以上下文之间是让步关系,故填入although。
8. on impact on sth.对……造成影响。
9. As 本句主句结构完整,因此空格部分应该填入连词,引导状语从句。As time goes by随着时间的流逝。
10. well as well as也;和……一样。句意:计算机变得更小巧、工作能力更强,而且也变得更加私人和机构化。小巧和能力变强是对比关系,“personal(个人的)”和institutional(社会机构的)对照。
11. increasing 句意:显示屏变得更加清晰,而储存容量不断增加。storage capacity储存容量。根据上下文语境,此处应该是指储存容量增加。
13. where 空格部分后面接定语从句修饰context。根据上下文可知,本句是指在计算机时代,信息社会被广泛用来形容我们现在的生活背景,因此此处需要使用where。
13. influenced 该段主要是介绍信息革命对我们生活的影响。因此此处填入influenced。
14. but 空格的前面部分讲到信息革命影响了我们的工作、娱乐等等,空格后面讲到关于其各方面的影响存在争议,前后两部分构成转折,因此此处填入连词but。
15.against weigh against权衡,一般用于两个相对的事物。这里是说益处和坏处的权衡。解析： 暂无解析 -

So involved with their computers _______ that leaders at summer computer caps often have to force them to break for sports and games.
A became the cildren B become the children C had the children become D do the children become
正确答案：D选［D］。本题着重考查倒装句的用法。由于so involved放在了句首，句子用倒装形式。因为句子的时态是一般现在时，所以要借助于助动词do来构成倒装。把这句话改变成正常语序是：The children become so involved with their computers that leaders at summer computer camps often have to force them to break for sports and games(孩子们对他们的电脑如此着迷，以致于电脑令营的领导不得不经常强迫他们停下来，做做体育运动和游戏)。 -
