【解析】

試題分析：文章第一部分介紹了一些電腦方面的知識，第二部分是一則廣告，宣傳電腦的好處，讓人們去購買電腦。

1.A 細節題。根據第一段2,3行The data put into the computer is called the"input" and the results which come out are the "output".中的這些input，output都是電腦語言，故這樣做是把這些電腦語言介紹介紹給大家。故A正確。

2.D 推理題。根據第一段3,4行Some people say the circle of large standing stones at Stonechenge is a kind of computer是用巨石陣來解釋電腦究竟是什么。故D正確。

3.B 推理題。根據第一段最后Prehistory people worked out their calendar（日歷）from the position of the shadows made by the sun shining on the stones.在巨石陣中，照射的陽光就如同信息輸入，人們根據陽光下的陰影算出的日歷就是output也就輸出。故B正確。

4.B 推理題。通讀第二部分都是在介紹電腦的好處，如So if you want to teach yourself,or help your children teach themselves-get a home computer.最終的目的是讓人購買電腦，故這是一則廣告，B正確。
