Answer 1

A。one of 后要用可數名詞的復數形式，根據文章意思，可知答案是A。
　　D。要表達第幾個世紀，應該用“序數詞＋century”，而根據常識，計算機是二十世紀的產物，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，它的發展就非常迅速”，since在意思和時態上與主句呼應，為正確選項。
　　C。動詞短語go through表示“經歷……”。
　　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”；根據文章含義，答案應是D。
　　C。介詞as表示“作為”，為正確選項。
