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-e-lectronic【C3】______, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the【C4】______of the periodical.

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.

【C15】

选项 A、by means of
B、in terms of
C、with regard to
D、in line with

答案B

解析 空格所在句子是They were thought of,like people, 105 generations,其中主语they指的仍然是computers,插入语意为像人一样,谓语是被动语态形式were thoughtof,指被考虑、被想,可见,空格和generations(一代人,世代,衍生代)一起作状语,修饰谓语,说明电脑是怎样被看待考虑的。因此重点要区分A,B选项,A选项bymeans of强调用某种方式或手段,而B选项in terms of可以强调用某个字眼、措辞及它所传达的概念,如:Give the answer in terms of a percentage.(用百分比来回答)。根据文章,计算机与人一样,都可以按照代(generations)来划分,这里使用generation更多的是借用这个词和它的概念,因此正确选项为B。
