II. Reading exercises:
Exercise1. Read and memorize using the dictionary:
|
mainframes, transferring data, to reside, timesharing, virtual storage, compiler, multitasking, linker, integrated circuit, piecemeal procedure, non-volatile memory |
Exercise 2. Answer the questions:
1. What are the functions of system software?
2. What kind of tasks do external command instructions perform?
3. What transfers data from memory to disk and render text onto a display device?
4. What do operating systems create?
5. What kinds of specific system software do you know?
Exercise 3. Match the left part with the right:
|
1. System software is any computer software which |
a. help to convert computer language to machine level language. |
|
2.The level of sophistication of systems software depends on |
b. it is usually termed firmware.
|
|
3. If system software is stored on non-volatile memory such as integrated circuits, |
c. manages and controls computer hardware so that application software can perform a task. |
|
4. Language processors are those which |
d. the size of the computer it operates and the tasks it is intended to perform. |
Exercise 4. Open brackets using the right words:
1. Some low-level languages, called (assembly languages/firmware /timesharing), were created using abbreviations to help programmers avoid the tedious and time-consuming task of writing programs in machine language.
2. If system software is stored on (non-volatile memory/compiler)) such as integrated circuits, it is usually termed firmware.
3. The level of sophistication of systems software depends on the size of (the operation system/ the computer/hardware components) it operates and the tasks it is intended to perform.
