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.
【22】
选项 A、private
B、children
C、school
D、personal
答案D
解析 这道小题主要是区分private与personal的具体用法。前者强调的是“归私人所有的”，经常译成汉语的“私有的，私人的”。如aprivateletter(私人信件)，for private reasons(出于私人原因)。而personal虽然在某些方面与private的含义及用法相同，如也可以说personal affairs(私事)，但是personal主要强调是个人的、个人用的。所以本小题正确选项应当为D。personal computer指个人用的计算机。
