To名师点评 本文介绍了电脑的产生、发展以及在我们日常生活中广泛的使用，针对一些人对将来电脑会控制人类的担忧，作者提出了自己的看法。答案简析1 A。one of 后要用可数名词的复数形式，根据文章意思，可知答案是A。2 D。要表达第几个世纪，应该用“序数词century”，而根据常识，计算机是二十世纪的产物，A项“二十一世纪”与实际不符合。3 B。固定搭配not onlybut (also) 意思是“不但而且”。所以答案是B。4 A。in many ways为一固定用法，表示“在许多方面”。5 D。根据文章大意，可知答案是D，表示“给人们带来财富和快乐”。6 C。因为Enid是名字，故用called。7 C。根据常识可知老式计算机庞大而笨重，故填large。8 D。该句句意为“自它诞生之日起，它的发展就非常迅速”，since在意思和时态上与主句呼应，为正确选项。9 C。动词短语go through表示“经历”。10 D。11 A。用介词for+宾语表示“为人们做事”，故选A。12 C。know about表示“了解”，侧重于有关某人或某事的具体情况。13 A。learn后面接的是一个宾语从句，而且连接词在从句中做learn 的宾语，所以只能用what，因为that在宾语从句中是纯连词，只能起连接作用，不能做句子成分。14 D。think of表示“想起；认为”；think about表示“考虑”；think out表示“想出”；根据文章含义，答案应是D。15 C。介词as表示“作为”，为正确选项。
