问题     There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work ,just as we expect  them at least to understand that the internal combustion engine(内燃机)has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons(活塞)being driven. For people should have some【S1】______idea  of how the things that they use do what they do. Further, students might be helped by a【S2】______that considers the computer’s impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer  literacy is not a form of【S3】______;it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a【S4】______art.
    Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two【S5】______activities. A case might be made that the【S6】______citizens of tomorrow should【S7】______themselves from their fear of computers.  But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a【S8】______. While programming can be lots of fun, and while our society needs some people who are experts at it, the same is true of auto repair and violin making.
    Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult, and it gets easier all the time as programs become more "user friendly". Let us【S9】______that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen. What does the phrase "learning to use a computer" mean? It sounds like" learning to drive a car", that is, it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that, once【S10】______, enable one to use a computer.
    In fact, "learning to use a computer" is much more like" learning to play a game", but learning the rules of one game may not help you play a second game ,whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thing as teaching someone how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program and generally that is easily accomplished.

A)assume                  B)channel                                  C)precise
D)illiteracy              E)imply                                    F)liberal
G)recourse                H)distinct                                 I)acquired
J)free                    K)career                                   L)basic
M)competent               N)secured                                  O)literacy
【S6】
选项
答案M
解析 competent意为“胜任的，有能力的”，例如：a competent typist(能干的打字员)。原文中是指“能干的未来的公民”。
