In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there havebeen a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them - their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.

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 HOC24.VN 6 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 43: The word "innovative" in line 1 could best be replaced by _________. A. recent B. important C. revolutionary D. complicated Question 44: What can be inferred about machines that are not calculators or computers? A. They can not 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 45: 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 46: 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 Question 47: 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 48: The word "contacts" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________. A. commands B. codes C. locations D. connections Question 49: 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. HOC24.VN 7 Question 50: 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
