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 haves and have-nots. 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 本题考查词义辨析。根据原文第一段的内容，本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。
