Which sentence is different in meaning from the other three？


  1. A.
    A computer is a useful machine．
  2. B.
    Computers are useful machines．
  3. C.
    The computer is a useful machine．
  4. D.
    The computers are useful machines．
D
分析：表示“泛指”或“類”的概念時，不僅可以用不定冠詞，還可以用不帶定冠詞的復數(shù)形式，在一定的上下文中(不會引起誤解)可以用定冠詞+單數(shù)名詞來表示“類”。此處A，B，C都是“類指”的意思，而D項是指“這些計算機”，是“特指”的概念。(延伸)The computer is a useful machine．是“類指”，而The computer is mine．是“特指”。

閱讀下面的短文，完成文后的問題。

　　A few days ago, few people knew his name or his face．But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei's smile was seen across the world．

　　The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9∶00 a.m.last Wednesday by China's Shenzhou ⅤSpaceship, and it traveled round the earth 14 times．He landed safely at 6∶23 a.m. the next day．That made China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the USA．

　　Yang was pleased with his job．“I have seen many landing scenes ever before on video tapes, and I think ours was one of the most successful,”he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing．

　　Anybody who saw the breaking-up of the US space plane named Columbia in February of 2003 knew that Yang was in great danger．

　　Yang experienced very high temperature, while the gravitational forces(地心引力) on taking off and landing was strong enough to make tears drop from his eyes．

　　He had spent five years training to become a spaceman after 1,350 hours' flying in the air．Although it was hard work, Yang loved it．Yang's success was well worth all the hard work．Yang has become China's first spaceman．

請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成下列句子。

Sometimes he slept at night,and,so the other operators got angry. When they sent a message,Edison did not answer. He was asleep. They soon found a way to keep him awake.
