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.

选项 A、are
B、be
C、are being
D、were
答案B
解析 本题考查虚拟语气。本题空白处前面的谓语动词是insist。这个动词常用的句式中有insist+that(从句)，表达两种意思：1)表示坚持认为(说)，从句应该用陈述语气；2)表示坚决要求，坚决主张，这时从句应该用虚拟语气，无论主语是什么人称，动词都用“原形或 should+原形”。本小题句子的意思是父母们深信计算机是使孩子走向成功的必备之品，所以，他们坚决主张应尽早教孩子们学会使用电脑。因此本题应选答案B 。
