　　答案解析

　　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。
