　　答案及解析

　　31.D【解析】事实细节题。

根据“…presentpredictionsarethatby1990，abouttlinymillionjobsintheUnitedStates，oraboutthirtypercentofthejobmarket，willbecomputer-related”（据1990年的预测，美国的三千万份工作，约占所有工作的30%，会和电脑相关）。

所以此题选择D。

　　32.D【解析】事实细节题。

根据“Soonthosepeoplenoteducatedincomputerusewillbecomparedtothosewhoareprint—illiteratetoday”可知不懂电脑的人将会比作今日的“打字文盲”，所以此题选择D。

　　33.C【解析】主旨大意题。

阅读段可知信息时代电脑必不可少，不懂电脑相当于“文盲”，从而呼吁加强电脑教育。

所以此题选择C。

　　34.A【解析】推理判断题。

第三、四段中以现代人会骑摩托车和生意人学用打印机为例，告诉了我们学习电脑的有效方法就是学会如何使用电脑，所以此题选择A。

　　35.A【解析】推理判断题。

根据“Knowinghowtouseacomputeriswhat'sgoingtobeimportant.Wedon'ttalkaboutautomobileliteracy.Weiustgetinourcarsanddrivethem”（知道如何使用电脑是很重要的…就像我们坐在车里开车一样），由此可知学会操作电脑也不是很难的，所以此题选择A。
