19、ird the height of his.,What is the Computer and the Internet?,Text in Chinese：计算机和因特网计算机的飞速发展已将我们的生活带入信息技术时代。今天，几乎每个人都能很容易地使用计算机和因特网来工作和娱乐。在4种类型的计算机巨型计算机、主机计算机、小型计算机和微型计算机中，微机是最广泛使用和发展最快的计算机类型，其他3种计算机只作为专业计算机应用与大型组织或机构中。微型计算机包括台式、笔记本便携式和个人数字助手。个人数字助手又称为掌上微机。微机系统装备的各种设备称为硬件。微机硬件包括：系统装置包括微处理器、内存储器、扩充卡
20、槽等，输入设备包括键盘、鼠标、扫描仪等，输出设备包括监视器、打印机、音箱等，二级存储设备包括硬盘、软盘、光盘等。系统装置容纳着多数构成微机系统的电子元件。系统装置内部最主要部分是主板。主板上有微处理器、内存储器（随机存储器和只读存储器）和扩展卡槽。其他部件包括磁盘驱动器（硬盘驱动器、软盘驱动器）和光盘驱动器，以及电力供应设备。,What is the Computer and the Internet?,系统装置外部有软盘驱动装置、光盘驱动装置、USB 端口、麦克风、耳机端口等。输入和输出设备是人机间语言翻译的中介，将人类语言翻译为计算机识别和处理的语言输入，再将计算机语言翻译为人能理解的语言
21、输出。二级存储设备用于存储数据和程序，即使计算机断电数据也不会失去。重要的二级存储器包括：软盘、硬盘、光盘。光盘即CD和DVD，使用激光技术，在二级存储设备中拥有最大的存储容量。数据。计算机系统中，数据指以电子信号形式存入文档的数据，例如，电子文本，电子表格，电子幻灯片等。网络和因特网。电子网络使用电缆和卫星在全球范围建立计算机之间的通信。因特网是遍及世界的网络，为世界上无数计算机提供网络连接、共享信息和通信。万维网是因特网的一个服务器，它为连网的计算机提供简便的多媒体界面，让计算机能够读取因特网上大量的资源。将计算机连接到因特网的用户可与他人共享信息，发送电子邮件，与朋友聊天，网上买卖交易等
22、。只要你的个人微机安装了调制解调器、浏览器并连接了因特网就可以在网上冲浪了。,What is the Computer and the Internet?,Reading Selection:ProcessorA processor is a functional unit that interprets and carries out instructions.Every processor comes with a unique set of operations such as ADD,STORE,or LOAD that represent the processors instruc
23、tion set.An instruction is made up of operations that specify the function to be performed and operands that represent the data to be operated on.If an operand refers to data in the computers memory,it is called an address.The processors job is to retrieve instructions and operands from memory and t
24、o perform each operation.Having done that,it signals the memory to send it to the next instruction.This step-by-step operation is repeated over and over again at awesome speed.A timer called a clock releases precisely timed electrical signals that provide a regular pulse for the processors work.A pr

28、running.Control unit registers store information such as the current instruction,the location of the next instruction to be executed,and the operands of the instruction.In the ALU,registers store data items that are added,subtracted,multiplied,divided,and compared.Other registers store the results o
29、f arithmetic and logic operations.An important factor that affects the speed and performance of a processor is the size of the registers.The word length describes the size of an operand register.If the operand registers of a processor are 16 bits wide,the processor is said to be a 16-bit processor.,
30、What is the Computer and the Internet?,构词法（）对于一个不熟悉的单词，我们可以通过上下文来知道其意思，同时我们知道许多英语单词是由英语、古希腊语、拉丁语合成。如果知道这些词的各个组成部分，就可以通过英语单词的各组成部分的含义猜出不熟悉的英语单词了。学习英语构词法就是通过研究单词构造来帮助你学习英语单词，这对扩大英语词汇量具有重大意义。一般来说，比较复杂的英语单词可由三部分组成：前缀（prefix）、词干（stem）或词根（root）、后缀（suffix）。也就是说，固定的基础词部分叫词干或词根，它是有意义的，是能存在的词的最小单位。在词干或词根前的称前缀
31、，在词干或词根后的称后缀。例如，microcomputer一词里，micro-是词的前缀，表示“微小的”；comput是词的词干或叫词根，表示“计算”；-er是后缀，表示“者”。如果我们知道词干或词根的含义，再知道典型的前缀、后缀的意义，就不必查阅字典，也可以准确地判断该词的意义了。学习少量的构词成分能有多大的作用呢？对此，人们曾经做过估计，掌握了本书中的基本构词法，就可能悟出多达14000个左右单词的意义。很显然，学会构词法是增大英语词汇量的捷径。,What is the Computer and the Internet?,英语构成新词主要有以下三种形式。转化（Conversion）：即由
32、一个词类转化为另一个词类，而词的原型不变。1）动词转化为名词例如：to water（浇水）some water（水）to excuse（原谅）an excuse（借口）to try（尝试）to have a try（试一下）to dream（做梦）a dream（梦想）2）名词转化成动词例如：a house（房屋）to house（居住）a mail（邮件）to mail（邮寄）a bridge（桥）to bridge（度过）a nurse（护士）to nurse（护理）3）形容词转化为动词例如：slow（慢慢的）to slow（减速）empty（空空的）to empty（倒空）warm（暖暖
33、的）to warm（使暖和）dirty（脏脏的）to dirty（弄脏）合成（Compounding）：即由两个（或两个以上）词合成另一个新词。合成的组成形式有时是用连字符“-”连在一起的，有时是直接连在一起的。,What is the Computer and the Internet?,1）合成形容词例如：good-looking（好看的）high-level（高级的；高水平的）new-born（新生的）heartfelt（由衷的）first-rate（一流的）happy-go-lucky（无忧无虑的）2）合成名词例如：input（输入量）shorthand（速记）output（输出）ha
34、ndwriting（书法）3）合成动词例如：overthrow（推翻）blacklist（列入黑名单）eavesdrop（偷听）sleep-walk（梦游）派生（Derivation）：即由一个词根或词干加词缀（前缀或后缀）构成新词。1）加前缀例如：happy（高兴的）unhappy（不高兴的）write（写）rewrite（重写）conductor（导体）semi-conductor（半导体）,What is the Computer and the Internet?,2）加后缀例如：use（使用）useful（有用的）real（真的）really（真实地）work（工作）worker（工
35、人）move（搬动）movement（运动）friend（朋友）friendship（友谊）collect（收集）collective（集体的）3）加前缀和后缀例如：pay（付款）repayment（偿还；报答）honest（诚实的）dishonestly（不诚实地）value（价值）invaluable（无价值的）port（港；口岸）transportation（运输工具）new（新的）renewable（可更换新的）truth（真实）untruthful（爱说谎的；不真实的）,What is the Computer and the Internet?,名片：名片是以一种简捷、明确的提供个
