本文介紹了電腦的產(chǎn)生、發(fā)展以及在我們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪袕V泛的使用，針對一些人對將來電腦會控制人類的擔憂，作者提出了自己的看法。
答案簡析
A。one of 后要用可數(shù)名詞的復數(shù)形式，根據(jù)文章意思，可知答案是A。
D。要表達第幾個世紀，應該用“序數(shù)詞＋century”，而根據(jù)常識，計算機是二十世紀的產(chǎn)物，A項“二十一世紀”與實際不符合。
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為一固定用法，表示“在許多方面”。
D。根據(jù)文章大意，可知答案是D，表示“給人們帶來財富和快樂”。
C。因為Enid是名字，故用called。
C。根據(jù)常識可知老式計算機龐大而笨重，故填large。
D。該句句意為“自它誕生之日起，它的發(fā)展就非常迅速”，since在意思和時態(tài)上與主句呼應，為正確選項。
C。動詞短語go through表示“經(jīng)歷……”。
D。
A。用介詞for+賓語表示“為人們做事”，故選A。
C。know about表示“了解”，側重于有關某人或某事的具體情況。
A。learn后面接的是一個賓語從句，而且連接詞在從句中做learn 的賓語，所以只能用what，因為that在賓語從句中是純連詞，只能起連接作用，不能做句子成分。
D。think of表示“想起；認為”；think about表示“考慮”；think out表示“想出”；根據(jù)文章含義，答案應是D。
C。介詞as表示“作為”，為正確選項。

本文講述了一個聰明的小男孩的故事。他要求加入一位富人的旅行，在得到同意后 選擇擔子時，看似愚蠢地選擇了最大、最重的擔子。而這恰恰就是他的聰明之處，因為他所挑的面包在途中是被邊走邊吃的，到達目的地時已所剩無幾。閱讀這故選foolish。篇文章時要注意句子的整體理解，如第8、9、10這三題。
答案簡析
1. B。這位富人不僅帶了東西去賣，而且?guī)уX去“買”東西。解這道題時要注意將句中and前后的內(nèi)容進行比較。
2. A。根據(jù)他的想法，他“決定”要帶十個仆人。這件事完全可以由他自己決定，所以沒有必要“希望帶……”或“努力帶……”，故C、D不合題意。
3. C。carry在句中意為“攜帶、運送”；take 意為“帶走”；bring意為“帶來”。本句意為“他們將運送要賣的東西和在路上要吃的食物”。下文的第10、11兩題所在的句子也有提示。

9. C。參照第8題。
10. A。參照第8題。
11. B。此句意為“你要選擇挑最輕的擔子”，“pick up”意為“撿起”，不合文意，故選choose。
12. D。主人看到這個小仆人選擇了最重的擔子，感到他很“愚蠢”，故選foolish。。
13. B。聽了主人的話，小男孩“什么也沒說”，而是高興地挑起了擔子。
14. C。由于小男孩的聰明，“除了”他自己，其他仆人都累壞了。

這篇完型填空講述了身為邊防檢查員的彼得明知一個工廠工人在走私貨物卻無法抓住對方的把柄。在退休的前一天，彼得懇請其說出真相，結果令彼得恍然大悟。
答案簡析
1．D。根據(jù)下文這個工人越過邊界后，走下山坡，所以到達邊界之前應在朝山上走。故選up。
2．C。這名工人是在推著一輛裝有稻草的自行車，故選動詞pushing。
3．D。這里表達的是到達邊界之意arrive, come為不及物動詞不可直接接 the frontier，故選reached。
4．C。ask與order后接不定式的復合結構時，動詞前應有to, make后接不定式的復合結構時，動詞前to要省去。根據(jù)下文應選make。
5．A。彼得想發(fā)現(xiàn)這個工人在走私什么，所以應仔細地檢查。故選carefully。
6．D。這里根據(jù)文意，應選擇表示“是否”之意的whether作賓語從句的引導詞。
7．A。根據(jù)常理，彼得應先檢查這個工人的口袋才能讓他捆起稻草走人，故選before。
8．B．根據(jù)文意，彼得心中一直懷著查獲走私物品的希望，故選hoping。
9．B。這里things和hide之間是被動關系,現(xiàn)在分詞hiding作定語時表示主動，所以應用過去分詞hidden作后置定語表被動。
10．D。本句中否定詞never及文意決定了這里應選 anything。
11．B。四個選項從語法上講都可以，只能從文意上進行區(qū)分，smuggling意為“走私”，是正確選項。
12．C。固定結構be able to do sth. 意為“能夠干某事”。
13．A。習慣用語look through 意為“徹底檢查”。
14．D。“as usual”為固定短語，意為“象平常一樣”。
15．D。tell, order后面應直接接人作賓語表示告訴某人和命令某人，而用say應為say to sb. 故said為正確選項。
16．C．這里應選擇一個介詞構成介詞短語在句中做狀語。介詞past 表“經(jīng)過”； across 強調(diào)“從一邊到另一邊”；而into 表示“進入到……里面”。 根據(jù)文意across應為正確選項。
17．C。“on the job”為一常用短語。意為“執(zhí)行公務”。
18．C。因為今天是彼得最后一天上班說明明天他就要退休retire。
19．B。根據(jù)句中否定詞not 及文意應選anyone。
20．D。本句說明這個工人回答彼得的問題之前沉默了一會兒。A選項應用a moment； C選項表示某一點時間； D選項表示一段時間或一會兒，為正確選項。
