The purpose of a programming system is to make a computer easy to use. To do this, it furnishes languages and various facilities that are in fact programs invoked and controlled by language features. But these facilities are bought at a price: the external description of a programming system is ten to twenty times as large as the external description of the computer system itself. The user finds it far easier to specify any particular function, but there are far more to choose from, and far more options and formats to remember. Ease of use is enhanced only if the time gained in functional specification exceeds the time lost in learning, remembering, and searching manuals. With modern programming systems this gain does exceed the cost, but in recent years the ratio of fain to cost seems to have fallen as more and more complex（ ）have been added. Because ease of use is the purpose, this radio of function to conceptual complexity is the ultimate test of system design. Neither function alone nor simplicity alone（ ）a good design. This point is widely misunderstood. Function, and not simplicity, has always been the measure of excellence for its designers. As soon as ease of use is held up as the criterion, each of these is seen to be（ ）, reaching for only half of the true goal. For a given level of function, however, that system is best in which one can specify things with the most simplicity and straightforwardness. （ ）is not enough. Mooers TRAC language and Algol 68 achieve simplicity as measured by the number of distinct elementary concepts. They are not, however, straightforward. The expression of the things one wants to do often requires involuted (复杂的）and unexpected combinations of the basic facilities. It is not enough to learn the elements and rules of combination; one must also learn the idiomatic usage, a whole lore of how the elements are combined in practice. Simplicity and straightforwardness proceed from conceptual（ ）. Every part must reflect the same philosophies and the same balancing of desiderata. Every part must use the same techniques in syntax and the analogous notions in semantics.

ATTENTION: ALL EMPLOYEESAs you may have heard, we are getting ready to implement a new computer system at the office. This mayworry some of you, but the system is actually designed to make our lives easier. It will eliminate a lot of the repetitive paperwork that many of you dislike doing, and will give us a central system where all of our information can be stored.In order to make sure everyone is comfortable with the new system, we will be holding several orientationsessions throughout next week. Please choose one that fits your schedule and sign up. You will learn thebasics, get a guidebook for the system, and have an opportunity to get comfortable with the system bycompleting practice tasks with the help of the instructor.The following sessions are available:Tuesday, November 7th at 10:00 A.M.Wednesday, November 8th at 11:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M.Friday November 10th at 9:30 A.M.Please visit the bulletin board in the lunchroom and sign up for one. There will be snacks and refreshments for participants served after each session.What is the purpose of the training sessions?A. To teach staff how to do repetitive work more quicklyB. To ensure the staff feels comfortable with the systemC. To introduce the basics of computer usageD. To get together for snacks and refreshments
共用题干第一篇Computer LiteracyThere 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 basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do.Further,students might be helped by a course 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 literacy（读写能力）。It is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free 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 career. 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 assume 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 acquired,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.The author's purpose in writing this passage is______.A:to stress the impact of the computer on societyB:to explain the concept of the computer literacyC:to illustrate the requirements for being competent citizens of tomorrowD:to emphasize that computer programming is an interesting and challenging job
