Yet much had happened【C1】______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 airplane. Not everyone sees that process in【C8】______. It is important to do so.

【C15】
选项 A、by means of
B、in terms of
C、with regard to
D、in line with

解析 like people表明此处将计算机和人类进行类比，空格处填入的介词短语与generations搭配，generation既可以表示“(人的)一代，一辈”，也可以指“(机械设备的设计和制造的)代”，此处应该要表达的是“电脑像人一样用‘代’来划分”。能引出generations这个划分依据只有B项in terms of“根据”。
