Choose the best answer for each of the following questions. (1) C. digital system based on microprocessor (2) C. by interacting with the outside world through other devices (3) D. all the above (4) A. the microprocessor (5) C. the inside structure (6) C. to make programs (7) B. binary digits (8) A. the data bus (9) D. merely transmit information from the microprocessor to memory or input/output chips (10) A. the CPU consists of only a few IC packages,Exercises (continue) 2. Replace the underlined parts in the following sentences with words or phrases from the text that best keep the original meanings. A small section of the main memory, which is used for keeping permanently stored data and only allows data to be read by the CPU is called ROM. (holding) A microprocessor is the electronic device that interprets and carries out the basic instructions that operate the microcomputer. (decodes and executes, or decodes and performs) Software is the term used to describe instructions that tell the hardware how to perform a task. (represent) The two components of the CPU are connected by a kind of electronic roadway called a(an) bus. (attached) The instructions for a microprocessor system normally appear as a set of characters or symbols that are used to define a specific operation. (usually) Memory is a holding area for data, instructions, and information. Memory in a computer system can be divided into two main classes: primary memory and secondary storage. (grouped),11.2 Reading and Translation Fundamentals of Single-chip Microcomputers 单片机基础,New Words culmination ,klmi'nein n. 顶点，极点 arguably ':jubli ad. 有争议地 split split a. 分离的 philosophy fi'lsfi n. 原理，原则 incorporation in,k:p'rein n. 合并，结合 volatile 'vltail n. 易变的，易失的 commit k'mit v. 保证 emulation ,emju'lein n. 竞争，仿真 albeit :l'bi:it conj. 虽然；即使 custom 'kstm a. 定制的 variant 'vrint n. a. 变种形；不同的 piggy-back 'piibæk a. 背负式的 erasable i'reizbl a. 可擦除的 socket 'skit n. 插座 BCD abbr.

This type of timer is usually arranged to be preloadable with the required count. The timer then decrements this value producing an interrupt or setting a flag when the counter reaches zero. 较好的方法是使用定时器电路，它能独立计算精确的时间增量，并在预设时间已过时产生一个中断。通常，这种类型的定时器被设置成可按要求的计数值预先加载的。然后，定时器不断递减，当计数器达到零值时，产生中断或设置一个标志。 Many clock circuits also work with a resistor and capacitor as low-cost timing components or can be driven from external source. 许多时钟电路与电阻和电容一起工作，形成低成本的时序元件，时钟电路也可用外部信号源驱动。,11.3 Further Reading The Applications of Computers 计算机应用,New Words dam
