1.[C]推理判断题。第2段提到未来有能力的人应该从恐惧中解脱出来，第3段则提到学习计算机则就像是学开车"一样，只要掌握某套技能即可，故可知有能力的人只需要通过掌握技能学习计算机即可，而不必学习编程，故C正确。

2.[D]词义理解题。在第2段中，作者强调一般人只需学会使用计算机，而不必学会编程，后面指出这与汽车修理"和小提琴制作"一样，可见作者提到汽车修理"(类似一般人使用计算机)和小提琴创作"(数似于电脑专业人员编程)还是为了说明上文的观点，故D正确。

3.[B]事实细节题。第3段首句提到学习使用计算机越来越容易的原因是计算机编程变得更user-friendly,B中的convenienttousers与此相符，故正确。

4.[C]句意理解题。第4段指出教人学习使用计算机就是教人usethisorthatprogram，故C与此相符。

5.[B]主旨大意题。本文围绕学生应如何学习计算机，阐述计算机能力(computerliteracy)的概念;它只是一种技能,故B正确。A、C、D均只是利用文中的片言只语拼凑而成的干扰项，不足以概括文章大意。
