2.计算机的发展经历了哪几个阶段?各个阶段的主要特征是什么?
按所用的逻辑元器件的不同,现代计算机的发展经历了4代变迁:
(1)第一代电子计算机(1946年~1958年)
第一代计算机的主要特征是采用电子管作为计算机的逻辑元件,其主存储器采用磁鼓、
磁芯,外存储器采用磁带、纸带、卡片等。
存储容量只有几
千字节、运算速度为每秒几千次。
主要使用机器语言编写程序。
这一代的计算机体积大、价格高、维修困难,使用也不方便,只在军事或科学研究部门使用,主要用于科学计算。
(2)第二代电子计算机(1958年~1964年)
第二代计算机全部采用晶体管作为逻辑元件,其主存储器使用磁芯,外存储器使用磁带、磁盘。
在软件方面开始使用FORTRAN、COBOL、ALGOL等高级语言。
这一代计算机不仅用于科学计算,还用于数据处理和工业控制。
相对第一代计算机,这一代计算机的运算速度更高、体积更小、功能更强。
(3)第三代电子计算机(1964年~1970年)
第三代计算机是以中、小规模集成电路为逻辑元件,其主存储器开始逐渐采用半导体元件,存储容量可达几兆字节,运算速度可达每秒几十万至几百万次。
体积进一步变小、成本进一步降低,同时性能进一步提高。
在软件方面,操作系统开始使用,使计算机的功能越来越强。
正是从第三代计算机时代起,计算机进入普及阶段,广泛应用于数据处理、过程控制、教育等各个方面。
(4)第四代电子计算机(1971年至今)
在20世纪70年代初期,随着大规模集成电路(Large Scale Integration,LSI)和超大规模集成电路(Very Large Scale Integration,VLSI)的应用,电子计算机迅速发展到第四代。
在第四代计算机的发展过程中,一个值得注意的发展趋势是计算机微型化、巨型化、多媒体化和网络化。
3.什么叫冯·诺伊曼体系结构?
1946年6月,冯·诺伊曼提出了存储程序通用电子计算机方案—电子离散变量自动计算机(Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer,EDV AC)方案。
方案中明确规定新型计算机有5个组成部分:计算器、逻辑控制装置、存储器、输入和输出,并详细描述了这5个部分的功能和相互关系,提出了程序存储(Stored-Program)思想,计算机可以按照程序规定的顺序,自动地从一条程序指令进到下一条程序指令。
长达101页的EDV AC方案是计算机发展史上的一个划时代的文献。
由于这一方案提出了现代计算机的基本体系结构,从而奠定了现代计算机的发展基础,所以,人们把现代计算机称为冯·诺伊曼型计算机。
4.简述计算思维的含义。
计算思维(Computational Thinking,CT)是运用计算机科学的基础概念进行问题求解、系统设计以及人类行为理解等涵盖计算机科学之广度的一系列思维活动。

8.微型计算机一般采用微处理器的(主频)来描述运算速度,时钟频率越高,运算速度就越(快)。
三、问答题
1.什么叫主机?什么叫裸机?什么叫外设?
CPU和内存储器合称为主机,没有配置任何软件的计算机称为裸机,输入设备、输出设备和外存储器合称为外部设备,简称外设。
2.计算机内的数据表示为什么要使用二进制?二进制与八进制、十六进制有什么关系?在计算机中采用二进制数表示数据,主要原因在于:二进制在物理上最容易实现;二进制运算规则简单。
一位八进制数和3位二进制数相对应,一位十六进制数和4位二进制数相对应,通常采用八进制(Octal System)和十六进制(Hexadecimal System)来作为二进制数的简化表示。
3.将127、55.8和7.125转换成二进制数。
将1F0AH、0DD8H 和111H转换成十进制数。
(127)10=(1111111)2
(55.8)10=(110111.11001)2
(7.125)10=(111.001)2
1F0AH=7946D
0DD8H=3544D
111H=273D
4.什么是ASCII编码?什么是汉字内码?字符“1”、数字1在计算机内如何表示?ASCII码,即美国标准信息交换码(American Standard Code for Information Interchange),它西文字符在计算机内部的二进制编码表示形式。
汉字内码是汉字在计算机内部的的存储表示。
字符“1”在计算机内部用ASCII码表示,数字“1”在计算机内部用二进制数表示,两者不相同。
5.为什么要引入汉字输入编码?汉字输入编码有几类?各有什么特点?
汉字的输入不能像英文字符那样,一键对应一个字符,只能多键输入一个汉字,这就需要引入汉字的输入编码。
目前有几百种汉字输入编码,具有代表性的输入编码有:? 区位码:一个汉字的区位码是一个4位十进制数。
如汉字“啊”的区位码为1601。
这是一种无重码输入方法。
? 拼音输入编码:用汉字的拼音符号作为输入编码。
显然,拼音输入方法是一种有重码的输入方法。
? 字形输入编码:是一种以汉字的偏旁部首作基本键位的
输入编码,即把键盘上的某一键位当作偏旁部首(当然,某一键位可能代表多个偏旁部首),多个键位(对应多个偏旁部首)的组合就是汉字的字形输入编码。
五笔字型输入编码属于这一类输入编码,它是目前使用相当广泛的输入编码。
6.计算机系统由哪些部分组成?微型计算机硬件包括哪些部件?
计算机系统包括硬件系统和软件系统两大部分。
计算机硬件由控制器、运算器、存储器、输入设备和输出设备5个部分组成。
运算器和控制器合称为中央处理器(Central Processing Unit,CPU)。
存储器又分为内存储器和外存储器两类。
将CPU和内存储器合称为主机。
将输入设备、输出设备和外存储器合称为外部设备。
计算机软件可分为系统软件和应用软件两大类。
系统软件又可分为操作系统、语言处理程序、数据库管理系统和支撑软件等。
一台微型计算机由主机箱、显示器、键盘和鼠标组成,有时还配有打印机、扫描仪等其他外部设备。
在主机箱内,有主板、总线扩展槽和输入输出接口(显示适配卡、声卡、网卡等)、CPU、内存储器、外存储器等部件。
7.计算机存储器包括哪些?内存与外存各有哪些特点?计算机存储器包括内存储器和外存储器两类。
内存储器用来存放当前需要处理的原始数据及需要运行的程序,CPU可直接对它进行访问。
现代计算机的内存普遍采
用了半导体存储器,根据使用功能的不同,半导体存储器可分为随机存取存储器(Random Access Memory,RAM)和只读存储器(Read Only Memory,ROM)两种。
RAM的特点是:用户既可以从中读出信息,又可以将信息写入其中;断电后RAM中所存储的信息将全部丢失。
ROM的特点是:用户只能从中读出信息,不能将信息写入其中;断电以后,ROM中所存储的信息不会丢失。
外存储器用来存放当前暂不需要处理的原始数据及不需要运行的程序,不能被CPU 直接访问,外存储器的数据只有先调入内存才能被CPU访问。
常见的外存有磁盘、光盘(Compact Disk Read Only Memory,CD-ROM)等,它们都必须通过各自的驱动器才能进行读写操作。
8.微型计算机主板上的CMOS是存储器吗?其作用是什么?
微型计算机主板上的CMOS芯片用来记录系统时钟和系统配置信息,用电池维持其工作,其中数据不会因计算机断电而丢失。
它不参与内存的统一编址,以外部端口形式表现。

David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little.If there were an accident.He says, aThey'd know soon enough.Bad news travels fast.
But Linda has promised that she would ring.However, she says, it doesn't cost much when you just think that it's the other side of the world.It?s only six pence per second (每秒六便士)。
If you're on that telephone for less than one minute, I'll eat my hat, David says, And one minute?s nearly four pounds(英镑).
That?s no more than you?d pay for a new hat, Linda answers.
She has asked the man at the hotel (旅馆) desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.Hello, Mum .Is that you? She says.

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza .I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza .It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.
Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me .The tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don?t like it leans over the city.
I do not think it?s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect. It
seems to say.
And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let?s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.

D. it?s imperfect B8
“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Itsis a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool” can be used to express feelings of
interest in almost anything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It?s cool.” You may think, “He?s so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer.
We all maximize( 扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here is an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used.
A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On one student?s paper was just the one sentence, “It?s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words . Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important for us to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the wor d “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
1. We know that the word “cool” has had _____.
A. only one meaning
B. no meanings
C. many different meanings
D. the same meaning
2. In the passage, the word “” means “ _____ ”.

A. pleased with
B. strange to
C. worried about
D. careful with
5.In the passage, the writer suggests(暗示) that the word “cool” _____.
A. can be used instead of many words
B. usually means something interesting
C. can make your life colorful
B10
Tom Dyson tried to find out what his new machine could do. One day he put the small box to a flowering plant that was growing in a big pot. He didn?t say anything at all, but he began to think something bad about the flowers.
“I?m going to cut off these flowers. They?re getting old and no longer beautiful. So I?ll cut them off…”
The needle(指针)on the machine climbed quickly from
zero to 8, then 10, 12, 15. It stopped at 17. The plant was in trouble! Something was worrying it. Was it afraid or sad? The thought of being cut? The flowers bent(弯下)their heads. They suddenly looked old and tired, and Tom felt sorry for them.
“No, no!” he cried. “I won?t cut you. You?re my friends. I just want you grow and be more beautiful. I?ll take you outside, into the sunshine. You?ll like that, won?t you?”
The flowers raised their heads slowly and seemed to smile at him. The needle returned to zero. Tom put away the machine, picked up the plant and walked outside. It was very nice in the garden that morning.

We can define a computer as a device that accepts input, processes data, stores data, and
produces output. According to the mode of processing, computers are either analog or digital.
They can also be classified as mainframes, minicomputers, workstations, or microcomputers.
All else (for example, the age of the machine) being equal, this categorization provides some
indication of the computer’s speed, size, cost, and abilities. Ever since the advent of computers, there have been constant changes. First-generation
computers of historic significance, such as UNIV AC (通用自动计算机), introduced in the
early 1950s, were based on vacuum tubes. Second-generation computers, appearing in the
early 1960s, were those in which transistors replaced vacuum tubes. In third-generation
computers, dating from the 1960s, integrated circuits replaced transistors. In fourth-generation
computers such as microcomputers, which first appeared in the mid-1970s, large-scale
integration enabled thousands of circuits to be incorporated on one chip. Fifth-generation
computers are expected to combine very-large-scale integration with sophisticated approaches
to computing, including artificial intelligence and true
distributed processing.
IV. Translate the following passage from English into Chinese:
计算机将变得更加先进,也将变得更加容易使用。
语音识别的改进将使计算机的操
作更加容易。
虚拟现实,即使用所有人类官能与计算机进行交互的技术,也将有助于创
建更好的人机接口。
人们正在开发其他的奇异计算模型,包括使用生物机体的生物计算、
使用具有特定属性的分子的分子计算,以及使用遗传基本单位DNA(脱氧核糖核酸)存
储数据和执行操作的计算。
这些都是可能的未来计算平台的例子,而它们迄今还能力有
限或完全属于理论范畴。
科学家们研究它们,是因为嵌入硅中的电路的微小型化受到物理限制。
还有一些限制与甚至最微小的晶体管也会产生的热量有关。

III. Fill in each of the blanks with one of the words given in the following list, making changes if necessary:
CD-ROM stands for compact disc read-only memory. Unlike floppy and hard disks,
which use magnetic charges to represent 1s and 0s, optical discs use reflected light. On a
CD-ROM disc, 1s and 0s are represented by flat areas and bumpy (高低不平的) areas (called
“pits”) on its bottom surface. The CD-ROM disc is read by a laser that projects a tiny beam of
light on these areas. The amount of reflected light determines whether the area represents a 1 or a 0.
Like a commercial CD found in music stores, a CD-ROM is a “read-only” disc.
Read-only means it cannot be written on or erased by the user. Thus, you as a user have
access only to the data imprinted (压印) by the publisher.
A single CD-ROM disc can store 650 megabytes (兆字节) of data. That is equivalent to
451 floppy disks. With that much information on a single disc, the time to retrieve or access
the information is very important. An important characteristic of CD-ROM drives is their access rate.
IV. Translate the following passage from English into Chinese:
调制解调器是在模拟和数字信号之间进行转换的设备。
计算机使用的是数字信号,
这种信号由离散单元组成,通常用一系列1和0表示。
模拟信号是连续变化的;声波就是模拟信号的一个例子。
调制解调器经常用于实现计算机之间通过电话线的互相通信。
调制解调器将发送端计算机的数字信号转换成可通过电话线传输的模拟信号。
信号到达目
的地后,另外一个调制解调器重构原来的数字信号,供接收端计算机处理。
如果两个调
制解调器可同时互相发送数据,那么它们采用的就是全双工工作方式;如果一次只有一
个调制解调器可以发送数据,那么它们采用的则是半双工工作方式。
