Question

We are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories. But it is also true that many children today are using computers at schools before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?

Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.

But people who understand more about computers say that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要介紹了對孩子使用電腦的兩種不同觀點(diǎn)。有人認(rèn)為電腦對小孩子有害，電腦是小孩子的游戲機(jī)，孩子們成長過程中不了解真實(shí)的世界；有人認(rèn)為電腦對小孩子有益，孩子們通過電腦更快地了解真實(shí)世界，知道自己想要學(xué)什么，會(huì)獨(dú)立思考。

1.know about”知道，了解。故選B。

2.第二段是說不太了解電腦的人認(rèn)為電腦對小孩子不好，而第三段則說那些懂電腦的人認(rèn)為電腦對小孩子有益，因此，并不是每個(gè)人都認(rèn)為電腦對小孩子有益。故選B。

3.And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well?”未來,我們難道不需要那些可以清晰地思考,知道如何快速獲取信息并使用它的人嗎?故選C。

考點(diǎn)：考查社會(huì)現(xiàn)象類短文
