名师点评
本文讲述了电脑在人类工作与生活等方面起着越来越大的作用，并告诉人们不必担心不断发展的电脑会威胁人类的安全，因为它永远处于人类的操纵之中。
1.B。这里需要一个表语从句的引导词，并在从句中作say的宾语，代替上文的内容。 what从意思和语法上都合乎文意，为正确选项。
2.B。替代前文的people应用they。
3.C。科学家们一直在制造越来越好的电脑，故选择making。
4.C。do a lot of jobs意思为干许多事情。其余三个动词皆不合文意。
5.A。词组every day意思为每天some day指将来的某一天形容词everyday意思为日常的，合乎文意，为正确选项。
6.A。这里应选择一个副词，表示电脑应用的程度。widely意思是广泛地，为正确选项。
7.D。下文中的field是可数名词单数形式，意思为领域，而either指两者中的任意一个，不合文意，故选择every。
8.C。make作使役动词时，后面应接不定式的复合结构，且不定式省去to，即make sb. do sth.，故选择make。
9.C。draw意思为画图，合乎文意。
10.A。the other day指过去的某一天;one day既可指过去的某一天，也可指将来的某一天。这里讲的是将来的设想，故选one day。
11.A。这是一个时间状语从句。while引导的从句中的动词必须是延续性动词;when引导的从句中，动词既可以是延续性动词，也可以是瞬间动词，故when为正确选项。
12.D。固定结构make use of意思为利用。
13.C。in the future意思为将来，为正确选项。而in future意思为今后，不合文意。
14.C。根据上下文，电脑是不可能取代人类的，而人类应永远是电脑的操纵者，故选always。
15.A。固定结构with the help of意思为在的帮助下。
