4. The registers are high-speed storage d. the computer is turned off.
5. Data contained in RAM is lost when e. coordinates the other parts of the computer.
6. ROM memory can only be read: f. controls the way instructions are executed

2. Match the terms with the definitions.

 

1. CPU a) performs the processing operations;  
2. CU b) carries out logical comparisons of storage;
3. ALU с) executes basic arithmetic functions;
4. accumulator d) coordinates the operation of the whole system;
5. clock e) selects data from memory;
6. counter f) produces electronic marks at regular intervals;
7. register g) controls the flow between the primary storage and the arithmetic-logical unit;
8. decoder h) keeps the instruction while it is being performed;
9. comparer i) holds the results of processing operations;
10. adder j) breaks the instructions into separate commands.

3. Complete these definitions from an ICT dictionary by inserting terms from the box. Here is one extra word.

  1. The ……., or CPU, is like a ’brain’ which performs tasks for your computer.
  2. The CPU is built into a single ……. that executes program instructions and coordinates activities within the system.
  3. The ……. is the part of the processor which is responsible for loading and interpreting the individual instructions that make up a computer program.
  4. ……. is measured in gigahertz; for example, a processor running at 4Ghz would give you all the performance you need to run most applications.
  5. ……. are electrical channels that allow devices inside the computer to communicate.

4. Decide if the sentences are true (T) or false (F), and rewrite the false ones to make them true.
