A computer is a machine designed to perform work mathematically and to store and select information that has been fed into it. It is run by either mechanical or electronic means. These machines can do a great deal of complicated work in a very short time. A large computer, for example, can add or subtract nine thousand times a second, multiply a thousand times a second, or divide five hundred times a second. Its percentage of error is about one in a billion digits. It has been estimated that human beings making calculations average about one mistake per two hundred digits.
The heart of an electronic computer lies in its vacuum tubes, or transistors. Its electronic circuits work a thousand times faster than the nerve cells in the human brain. A problem that might take a human being two years to solve can be solved by a computer in one minute, but in order to work properly, a computer must be given instructions—it must be programmed.
Computers can be designed for many specialized purposes—they can be used to prepare payrolls, guide airplane flights, direct traffic, even play chess. Computers play an essential role in modern automation in many plants and factories throughout the world.
The use of computers for specialized purposes depends on the_________.
选项
A、design of computer
B、power used to operate the computer
C、difficulty of the mathematical calculations involved
D、the ability of the programmer
答案
A
解析
文章第三段第一句话说到“Computers can be designed for many specialized purposes—they can be used to prepare payrolls,guide airplane flights,direct traffic,even play chess.”可推知电脑可以被设计用于不同的目的,因此正确答案为A。
