Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following questions from 56 to 63.
In the history of technology, computers and calculators were innovative developments. They are
essentially different from all other machines because they have a memory. This memory stores
instructions and information. In a calculator, the instructions are the various functions of arithmetic,
which are permanently remembered by the machine and cannot be altered or added to. The information
consists of the numbers keyed in.
An electronic pocket calculator can perform almost instant arithmetic. A calculator requires an input
unit to feed in numbers, a processing unit to make the calculation, a memory unit, and an output unit to
display the result. The calculator is powered by a small battery or by a panel of solar cells. Inside is a
microchip that contains the memory and processing units and also controls the input unit, which is the
keyboard, and the output unit, which is the display.
The input unit has keys for numbers and operations. Beneath the key is a printed circuit board
containing a set of contacts for each key. Pressing a key closes the contacts and sends a signal along a
pair of lines in the circuit board to the processing unit, in which the binary code for that key is stored
in the memory. The processing unit also sends the code to the display. Each key is connected by a
different pair of lines to the processing unit, which repeatedly checks the lines to find out when a pair is linked by a key.
The memory unit stores the arithmetic instructions for the processing unit and holds the temporary
results that occur during calculation. Storage cells in the memory unit hold the binary codes for the
keys that have been pressed. The number codes, together with the operation code for the plus key, are
held in temporary cells until the processing unit requires them. When the equals key
is pressed, it sends a signal to the processing unit. This takes the operation code-for example,
addition-and the two numbers being held in the memory unit and performs the operation on the two
numbers. A full adder does the addition, and the result goes to the decoder in the calculator's
microchip. This code is then sent to the liquid crystal display unit, which shows the result, or output, of the calculation.
Question 56: The word "innovative" in line 1 of paragraph 1 could best be replaced by _ . A. recent
B. important C. revolutionary D. complicated
Question 57: What can be inferred about machines that are not calculators or computers?
A. They cannot store information in a memory.
B. They are less expensive than computers.
C. They have simple memory and processing units.
D. They are older than computers.
Question 58: In what part of the calculator are the processing and memory units?
A. the battery B. the solar cells C. the output unit D. the microchip
Question 59: According to the passage, one function of the memory unit is .
A. to control the keyboard
B. to store temporary results during calculation
C. to send codes to the display unit
D. to alter basic arithmetic instructions Trang 5
Question 60: The word "This" in paragraph 5 refers to . A. the plus key
B. the processing unit C. the memory unit D. the equals key
Question 61: The word "contacts" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to . A. commands B. codes C. locations D. connections
Question 62: Which of the following could NOT be said about calculators?
A. The calculator's "thinking" takes place in the processing and memory units.
B. Calculators require a lot of instructions to operate quickly.
C. Calculators and computers are similar.
D. Pressing a key activates a calculator.
Question 63: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To discuss innovative developments in technology
B. To compare computers and calculators with other machines
C. To summarize the history of technology
D. To explain how a calculator works
