    2、more than once. A Microcomputer A microcomputer is a desktop or notebook size computing device that uses a microprocessor as its Central Processing Unit, or CPU. Microcomputers are also called Personal Computers (PCs), home computers, small business computers, and micros. The smallest, most compact

    3、are called laptops. When they first appeared, they were considered single user devices, and they were capable of handling only four, eight, or 16 bits of information at one time. More recently the distinction between microcomputers and large, mainframe computers (as well as the smaller mainframe typ

    4、e systems called minicomputers) has become blurred, as newer microcomputer models have increased the speed and data handling capabilities of their CPUs into the 256 bit. or even much more bit multi-user range. B Minicomputer A minicomputer is a mid-level computer built to perform complex computation

    5、s while dealing efficiently with a high level of input and output from users connected via terminals Minicomputers also frequently connect to other minicomputers on a network and distribute processing among all the attached machines. Minicomputers are used heavily in transaction processing applicati

    6、ons and as interfaces between mainframe computer systems and wide area networks. C Mainframe Computer A mainframe computer is a high level computer designed for the most intensive computational tasks. Mainframe computers are often shared by multiple users connected to the computer via terminals. The

    7、 most powerful mainframes, called supercomputers, perform highly complex and time consuming computations and are used heavily in both pure and applied research by scientists, large businesses, and the military. D Supercomputer In computer science, supercomputers are large, extremely fast, and expens

    8、ive computers used for complex or sophisticated calculations. Typically they are machines capable of pipelining instruction execution and providing vector instructions. A supercomputer can, for example, perform an enormous number of calculations required to draw and animate a moving spaceship in a m

    9、otion picture. Supercomputers are also used for weather forecasting, large scale scientific modeling and oil exploration and so on and so like. 1 They are often used for jobs like engineering design and testing, serious decryption, economic forecasting, etc. 2 Many public schools now employ the devi

    10、ces for programmed learning and computer literacy courses. 3 Computers are designed for use in homes, schools, and office settings. 4 They efficiently deal with a high level of input and output from different users. 5 They are used for jobs that take massive amounts of calculating 6 They are usually

    11、 used in transaction processing applications. 7 They are often shared by many users connected to the computer. 二、 PART TWO 7 Read the article below about the financial risks. Choose the best sentence from the list A-G to fill each of the gaps. For each gap (8-12), mark one letter (A-G) on your Answe

    12、r Sheet. Do not use any letter more than once. Several types of financial risks are encountered in international marketing.

The distributor tested the shipment and declared it to be below acceptable taste and texture standards. The altern

    15、atives for the exporter were reducing the price, reselling the potatoes, or shipping them home again, each involving considerable cost. Political risk relates to the problems of war or revolution, currency inconvertibility, expropriation or expulsion, and restriction or cancellation of import licens

    16、es. Political risk is an environmental concern for all businesses. Management information systems and effective decision-making processes are the best defenses against political risks. As many companies have discovered sometimes there is no way to avoid political risk, (10) . Exchange-rate fluctuati

    17、ons inevitably cause problems, but for many years, most firms could take protective action to minimize their unfavourable effects. Floating exchange rates of the worlds major currencies have forced all marketers (11) . International Business Machine Corporation, for example, reported that exchange l

For each question (13-18), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet. Early America

    21、n industries depended largely on skilled artisans working in small shops to serve a local market. But the Industrial Revolution that started in England during the 18th century did not take long to cross the Atlantic. It brought many changes to American industry between 1776 and 1860. Because labor w

    22、as scarce in the United States and wages were high, employers welcomed any new method that could reduce the requirement for labor. One key development was the introduction of the factory system, which gathered many workers together in one workplace and produced goods for distribution over a wide are

    23、a. The first factory in the United States is generally dated to 1793, when an Englishman named Samuel Slater came to America to build a cotton cloth factory. He built the machinery from memory, because it was a crime to carry factory plant out of England. The success of Slaters factory started a pro

    24、cess of change that turned the northeastern region of the United States into an important manufacturing center. The making of textiles also meant increased demand for cotton, grown in the southern region for the United States. As a result, the nation became a major cotton producer. Another important

    25、 development was the “American system“ of mass production, which originated in the firearms industry about 1800. The new system required precision engineering to create parts that were interchangeable. This, in return, allowed the final product to be assembled in stages, each worker specializing in

    26、a specific operation. Just as Slaters new factory system was being introduced, an American named Eli Whitney made cotton production more efficient by inventing a machine the cotton gin that rapidly removed the seeds from the bolls of cotton. Removing the seeds by hand was a difficult task; Whitneys

    27、machine made the job almost easy. Whitney also began manufacturing rifles in a new way. Guns had always been made by gun makers working in their homes or small shops. Because the guns were handmade individually, a part from one gun would not necessarily fit another gun. Whitney began making guns wit

    28、h machinery, so that all the parts were the same in each gun. This method of manufacturing goods in a factory, with interchangeable parts, helped to advance American industry. In 1913, the automaker Henry Ford introduced the “moving assembly“ line. This was a variation on the earlier practice of con

    29、tinuous assembly. By improving efficiency, it made possible a major saving in labor costs. A new breed of industrial managers began the careful study of factory operations with the aim of finding the most efficient ways of organizing tasks. Their concepts of “scientific management“ helped to lower t

    30、he costs of production still further. Lower costs made possible both higher wages for workers and lower prices for consumers. More and more Americans were gaining the ability to purchase products made in the United States. During the first half of the 20th century, mass production of consumer goods

    31、such as cars, refrigerators and kitchen ranges helped to revolutionize the ways in which Americans lived. 13 In the first paragraph, the author intends to tell us that ( A) early American industries mainly depended on new methods. ( B) early American industries mainly depended on people who did skil

    32、led work with their hands. ( C) early American industries mainly depended on England industries. ( D) early American industries mainly depended on new changes. 14 The first factory in the United States was ( A) built by an American engineer named Henry Ford. ( B) built by an American named Eli Whitn

    33、ey. ( C) built by an Englishman who built it from memory. ( D) built by an American who wanted to build a cotton cloth factory. 15 Another important development was concerning ( A) the steam engines. ( B) the mass production. ( C) the mobile operation. ( D) the textile industry. 16 Which of the foll

    34、owing statements is NOT true? ( A) Henry Ford influenced American peoples life. ( B) Henry Ford influenced all manufacturing systems. ( C) Henry Ford influenced the manufacture of cars. ( D) Henry Ford influenced the system of business. 17 According to the passage, we can draw the conclusions except

    35、 that ( A) the production efficiency has greatly been improved by the “American System“. ( B) many other machines such as refrigerators, washing machines and vacuum cleaners are produced on the assembly line. ( C) with the interchangeable parts, American industries advanced greatly. ( D) the industr

    36、ial managers began the careful study of the operations with the aim of reducing the methods. 18 The passage is mainly discussing about ( A) introduce the early period of industry development in the United States. ( B) how important the economic life is in the America society. ( C) the early developm

    37、ent of American economy in 17th century. ( D) how difficult the early life was in the 18th century of America. 四、 PART FOUR 18 Read the article below about the impending flu. Choose the best word to fill each gap from A, B, C or D. For each question (19-33), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your An

    38、swer Sheet. The nations supply of vaccine for the impending flu (19) took a big hit Thursday when Chiron Corp. announced it had found tainted doses in its factory.
