The result was the Intel 4004 -- the world’s first microprocessor. Physically, it consisted of a silicon chip in a protective ceramic capsule, with a set of metal pins sticking 【26】______ that connected it to other components in whatever 【27】______ it controlled. It 【28】______ 2,300 transistors, 【29】______ 60,000 operations per second, and could be used for any device -- including computers and robots -- that required a "brain" for accepting 【30】______ and following a program of 【31】______ to produce an output. Within five years, many very powerful microprocessors had 【32】______ .The invention of microprocessors 【33】______ the stage for the arrival of the microcomputer, or personal computer (PC)-- an affordable machine for 【34】______ The first PCs, in kit form, appeared in the mid 1970s, and by the mid-1980s machines such as the Apple Macintosh and those based 【35】______ a PC first 【36】______ by IBM in 1981 were popular throughout the world.

选项
A、device
B、appliance
C、apparatus
D、tool
答案
A
解析
四项都有“器具”含义,但侧重点不同。device指“具有某种用途的装置”;appliance指“有某种特定用途的用具”,如“家用电器”就是 electrical appliances;apparatus指“科学实验中用的精密仪器”,或“体操器械”;tool是最宽泛的“工具”,往往含有一种“较原始”的意味,且与人密切相关。根据上下文含义:“微处理器控制的装置”,A为正确答案。
