二、阅读理解
Just over 20 years ago, IBM introduced the PC jr.Derided as awkward and underpowered, the PC jr.never caught on with kids or parents.But then again, IBM didn’t have the Mouse behind it.
Backed by a poe of Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto, the Walt Disney Co.is looking to do what IBM never could: succefully market a computer system designed specifically for kids.The Disney Dream Desk PC ($600) and its complementary big-eared, 14.1-inch monitor ($300) are aimed at kids ranging from 6 to 12 years olD.But even though the system is embellished with images of Mickey and software featuring Donald Duck and Goofy, the Dream Desk is more than a toy.
Using Microsoft Windows XP, the Disney system is based on an Intel Celeron D proceor and comes with a 40-gigabyte hard drive plus a combination CD burner and DVD player--serious enough hardware to manage games or homework.As an added feature, there’s a stylus that sits in a cradle built into the keyboarD.The stylus is a more comfortable pointing device than a mouse for little hands, and it also lets children create their own digital sketches.
Teaching tool.On the software side, Disney has included a trio of creativity programs called Disney Flix, Pix, and Mix that lets kids create their own movies, add Disney characters to digital pictures, and compose musiC.For parents worried about the World Wild Web, Disney has included a Content Protect program that prevents curious tykes from visiting sites you’d rather they not view.And if you suspect they are using the Net more for games than research, the program will even track your children’s surfing and report back to you.
By and large, the Disney system succeeds with the Dream Desk.Design elements like the monitor’s mouse keteer ears, which conceal speakers, certainly grabbed my 22-month-old daughter’s attention.But while she may have enjoyed \"playing with Mickey,\" parents may wonder if computers for kids are a help or hindrance when it comes to learning.\"The danger is that people tend to replace actual human instruction with these computers,\" says Reid Lyon, chief of the Child Development and Behavior Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health.According to Lyon, computers are a fine tool to help kids learn--as long as there’s parental participation.
Parents looking for educational titles on the Dream Desk will have to shop elsewhere.Furthermore, the total system price is about $150 more than comparably equipped plain-Jane PC s, and some elements of the Disney PC could be improve
D.Making the LCD monitor touch sensitive would be a nice addition for kids, as would a clear cover to protect the screen from sticky little fingers.In addition, some parents may bridle at the brazen commercialism of having a large orange button on the system’s keyboard that takes kids directly to Disney’s $9.95-a-month Toontown online game.
On the other hand, what parent hasn’t succumbed to a son or daughter’s desire for a Sponge Bob toy, Spiderman lunchbox, or Dora backpack? And while this PC may have big ears, it’s not just some Mickey Mouse computer.

[C]The computer system is designed specifically for kids.
[D]Kids can use the computer system for games and doing homework.
2.Which of the following is not the description of the Dream Desk?
[A]Learning and playing are perfectly combined in this computer system.
[B]The hardware is enough for the use of a kid.
[C]The software takes the kids’ needs and parents’ worry into consideration.
[D]The Dream Desk decorated with the image of Mickey catches the kids’ eyes.
3.How can the parents take full advantage of the computer in the learning of their kids?[A]Not allowing the kids to visit the inappropriate web sites.
[B]Using the computer to arouse kids’ interest in learning.
[C]Fully exploring the potential function of the computer.
[D]Working together with their kids.
4.Which of the following is not true according to Paragraph 6?
[A]The Dream Desk does not have price advantage.
[B]The Dream Desk has been equipped with sensitive LCD monitor and a clear cover.
[C]Some parents have offensive feelings toward the orange button indicating commercialism.
[D]The computer system fails to cater for all the parents.
5.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
[A]The big ears make this PC look like a big toy that many kids long for.
[B]Parents always try their best to satisfy their kids’ needs.
[C]Parents find it difficult to refuse to buy their kids such toys as Mickey Mouse computer.
[D]Mickey Mouse computer is a computer, rather than a toy.

二、阅读理解 题目分析
1．答案为C，属推理判断题。从文章中我们知道这款电脑是专为孩子量身打造的，独特的米老鼠外形，设置的功能等都是专为孩子考虑的，因此也深受孩子的喜爱。
2.答案为A，属事实细节题。句子“But while she may have enjoyed \"playing with Mickey,\" parents may wonder if computers for kids are a help or hindrance when it comes to learning.”表达了家长为孩子在电脑玩与学方面的担忧，暗示了电脑在玩与学方面并不是一个完美的结合。
3.答案为D，属事实细节题。原文对应信息是“According to Lyon, computers are a fine tool to help kids learn--as long as there’s parental participation.”。
4.答案为B，属事实细节题。做对本题的关键是对句子“Making the LCD monitor touch sensitive would be a nice addition for kids, as would a clear cover to protect the screen from sticky little fingers.”的正确理解。这个句子使用的是虚拟语气，表示的是与现在事实相反的状况。这个句子是对前一句“some elements of the Disney PC could be improved.”的补充说明。选项A在文中对应的信息是“the total system price is about $150 more than comparably equipped plain-Jane PC s”；选项C对应的信息是“some parents may bridle at the brazen commercialism of having a large orange button on the system’s keyboard that takes kids directly to Disney’s $9.95-a-month Toontown online game.”，“bridle at”的意思是“轻视，瞧不起”；正因为有的父母瞧不起这种厚颜无耻的重商主义，选项D也是正确的。
5.答案为C，属推理判断题。本题的关键是要理解句子“what parent hasn’t succumbed to a son or daughter’s desire for a SpongeBob toy, Spiderman lunchbox, or Dora backpack?”的含义。这句话的意思是“什么样的父母会不满足儿子或女儿想得到一件“海绵波波”玩具、一个蜘蛛侠餐盒或多拉背包的愿望呢？”，言外之意是父母都会满足孩子想要玩具的心愿。因为这种电脑配有“大耳朵”，所以它也是一个大玩具，而不只是一台米老鼠计算机了。这样，做父母的也就很难拒绝孩子想要一个大玩具计算机的愿望了。
篇章剖析：本文详细介绍了由华特迪斯尼公司推出的专为孩子设计的米老鼠电脑。第一段指出IBM电脑未在孩子和家长中流行起来；第二段指出华特迪斯尼公司正期望做IBM永远不可能做的事：成功地销售专门为孩子设计的计算机系统“迪斯尼梦想台式个人电脑”；第三段指出这款电脑的配置；第四段指出这款电脑的教学功能；第五段指出电脑如何较好地履行其学习工具共能；第六段指出“梦想电脑”的一些不足之处；最后一段指出父母很难拒绝为他们的孩子购买这一看似大玩具的电脑。
