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
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。
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。
B。固定搭配not only…but (also)… 意思是“不但……而且……”。所以答案是B。
A。in many ways为一固定用法，表示“在许多方面”。
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”。
C。因为Enid是名字，故用called。
C。根据常识可知老式计算机庞大而笨重，故填large。

C。know about表示“了解”，侧重于有关某人或某事的具体情况。
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。
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。
C。介词as表示“作为”，为正确选项。

这篇完型填空讲述了身为边防检查员的彼得明知一个工厂工人在走私货物却无法抓住对方的把柄。在退休的前一天，彼得恳请其说出真相，结果令彼得恍然大悟。
答案简析
1．D。根据下文这个工人越过边界后，走下山坡，所以到达边界之前应在朝山上走。故选up。
2．C。这名工人是在推着一辆装有稻草的自行车，故选动词pushing。
3．D。这里表达的是到达边界之意arrive, come为不及物动词不可直接接 the frontier，故选reached。
4．C。ask与order后接不定式的复合结构时，动词前应有to, make后接不定式的复合结构时，动词前to要省去。根据下文应选make。
5．A。彼得想发现这个工人在走私什么，所以应仔细地检查。故选carefully。
6．D。这里根据文意，应选择表示“是否”之意的whether作宾语从句的引导词。
7．A。根据常理，彼得应先检查这个工人的口袋才能让他捆起稻草走人，故选before。
8．B．根据文意，彼得心中一直怀着查获走私物品的希望，故选hoping。
9．B。这里things和hide之间是被动关系,现在分词hiding作定语时表示主动，所以应用过去分词hidden作后置定语表被动。
10．D。本句中否定词never及文意决定了这里应选 anything。
11．B。四个选项从语法上讲都可以，只能从文意上进行区分，smuggling意为“走私”，是正确选项。
12．C。固定结构be able to do sth. 意为“能够干某事”。
13．A。习惯用语look through 意为“彻底检查”。
14．D。“as usual”为固定短语，意为“象平常一样”。
15．D。tell, order后面应直接接人作宾语表示告诉某人和命令某人，而用say应为say to sb. 故said为正确选项。
16．C．这里应选择一个介词构成介词短语在句中做状语。介词past 表“经过”； across 强调“从一边到另一边”；而into 表示“进入到……里面”。 根据文意across应为正确选项。
17．C。“on the job”为一常用短语。意为“执行公务”。
18．C。因为今天是彼得最后一天上班说明明天他就要退休retire。
19．B。根据句中否定词not 及文意应选anyone。
20．D。本句说明这个工人回答彼得的问题之前沉默了一会儿。A选项应用a moment； C选项表示某一点时间； D选项表示一段时间或一会儿，为正确选项。
