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-elec-tronic【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 airplane. 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. They were thought of, like people,【C15】______generations, with the distance between generations much【C16】______.
    It was within the computer age that the term" information society" began to be widely used to describe the【C17】______within which we now live. The communications revolution has【C18】______both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time. But there have been【C19】______views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits"have been weighed【C20】______"harmful"outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.
【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 or，like people，…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。
