问题    There was a time when parents who wanted an educational present for their children would buy a typewriter, a globe or an encyclopedia set.
   Now those  【21】______  seem hopelessly old-fashioned: this Christmas, there were a lot of  【22】______  computers under the tree.  【23】______  that computers are their key to success, parents are also frantically insisting that children  【24】______  taught to use them on school—as early as possible. The problem for schools is that when it  【25】______  computers, parents don’t always know best. Many schools are  【26】______  parental impatience and are purchasing hardware without  【27】______  educational planning, so they can say, OK, we’ve moved into the computer age.  Teachers  【28】______  themselves caught in the middle of the problem — between parent pressure and  【29】______  educational decisions.
   Educators do not even agree  【30】______  how computers should be used. A lot of money is going for computerized educational materials  【31】______  research has shown can be taught  【32】______  with pencil and paper. Even those who believe that all children should  【33】______  to computer warn of potential  【34】______  to the very young.
   The temptation remains strong largely because young children  【35】______  so well to computers. First graders have been  【36】______  willing to work for two hours on math skills. Some have an attention span of 20 minutes.
     【37】______  school, however, can afford to go into computing, and that creates  【38】______  another problem: a division between the have’s and havenot’s. Very few parents ask  【39】______  computer  instruction in poor school districts,  【40】______  there may be barely enough money to pay the reading teacher.
【21】
选项 A、items
B、toys
C、sets
D、series
答案A
解析 根据原文第一段的内容，本小题空白处所填入的词语指的就是第一段中所列举的与教育有关的礼物，诸如打字机、地球仪、百科全书这些东西。toys专指“玩具”，sets指的是“一套或一组的东西”，series用于表示“丛书之类的东西”，这几个词都过于具体，不能囊括上述作为与教育子女有关的礼物。items常用来指“一组事物或一清单中的一项”，正好可以填入本小题空白处。因而，选项A为正确答案。
