Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere.

TIME
earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state
surveillance
(监视).In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph?
The two main ways a cause and effect essay can be organized are block structure and point-by-point structure.
