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’vr 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 childrern  【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 have-not’s. Very few parents ask   【39】______   computer instruction in poor school districts, 【40】______   there may be barely enough money to pay the reading teacher.

选项 A、items
B、toys
C、sets
D、series

答案A

解析 根据原文第一段的肉容,本小题空白处所填入的词语指的就是第一段中所例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A 为正确答案。
