问题    Computers are now being pushed into schools. We know that multimedia will make 【21】______  easy and fun. Children will happily learn from 【22】______  characters while taught by expertly 【23】______  software. Who needs teachers when you’ve got 【24】______  education? These expensive toys are difficult to use in the classrooms and 【25】______  extensive teacher training. Sure, kids love video games-- 【26】______  think of your own experience: can you 【27】______  even one educational filmstrip of many years ago? I’ll 【28】______  you remember the two or three great teachers who made a 【29】______   in your life.
   Then there’s cyberbusiness. We’re promised 【30】______  catalog shopping--just point and click for great deals. We’ll order airline tickets 【31】______  the network, book restaurants and negotiate sales 【32】______ . Stores will become obsolete. So how come my local mail does more 【33】______  in an afternoon than the entire Internet 【34】______  in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to 【35】______  money over the Internet, the network is 【36】______  a most essential ingredient of trade and commerce: salespeople.
   What’s absent from this electronic wonderland? People contact. Computers and networks 【37】______  us from one another. A network chat line is a limp 【38】______  for meeting friends over coffee. No interactive multimedia display
    【39】______  to the excitement of a 【40】______  concert. This virtual reality where frustration is legion and where--in the holy names of Education and Progress--important aspects of human interactions are relentlessly devalued.

选项 A、immediate
B、free
C、versatile
D、instant

答案D

解析 instant意为“立即的,快速的”,如 instant coffee/noodle意为“速溶咖啡/方便面”,instant catalog shopping就表示电脑上列出了各种目录清单,点一下购物就完成了。本句意为:网络保证了我们购物的方便,只要查一下目录,轻轻一点,交易就在瞬间完成。immediate表示动作的快速,而instant表示动作持续时间的短暂;versatile意为“多才多艺的,多功能的”。
