INGLS TCNICO EXERCIO DE AVALIAO Memory The memory is the place where the computer keeps information when

it is not actually working upon it. We can think of it consisting of several thousand r boxes . lette 5 AULA

Information is held there as bits of electric charge. In a particular spot in th e computer there is a charge or there is not, so it is for this reason that comp uters understand binary code- O means no charge, 1 means a charge. The memory can store numbers and characters and these can be retrieved by the pr ocessor. Each letter box has an address, which is also a number. The processor can connect itself to any particular memory location a particular letter box by specifying its address. Inside the memory the information is held as minute charges of electricity. Unfortunately, the system only works when the computer is switched on. When it i s switched off, the information is lost and consequently different types of memo ry storage are needed to hold information which the computer needs to keep for l onger than it takes to run a program. Vocabulary working upon it = lidando com ela, trabalhando com a informao letter boxes = escaninhos eletric charge = carga ou impulso eltrico particular spot = certo lugar, ponto determinado retrived = recuperados address = endereo, identificao da localizao na memria unfortunately = Infelizmente switched on/off = ligado/desligado is lost = ou est perdida for longer = por mais tempo it takes = leva to run = rodar (um programa) is held = est segura bits = digito binrio characters = letras keeps = conserva charges = cargas Exercises 1) Faa um breve relato a respeito do texto. A memria armazena dados, para que quando o computador desligo e inicie novamente, ali tenha um ponto de inicio, onde todas as informaes so processadas pelo processa dor, e assim nada se perde aps ligar, apenas se usa as informaes contida na memria. 2 )Encontre no texto os pargrafos onde as seguintes ideias esto expressas. a) Infelizmente o sistema s trabalha quando o computador est ligado. pargrafo ________1______ b)Nmeros e caracteres podem ser recuperados pelo processador.

pargrafo ________3_______ c) Podemos imaginar a memria consistindo em vrios milhares de pargrafo _____1_______ d) O processador pode conectar-se com qualquer dessas caixas. pargrafo ______3______ caixas para cartas .

e) Diferentes tipos de memria so necessrios para guardar informaes. pargrafo ______4________ 3) Say if these statements are true ( T ) our false ( F ). ( Diga se estas decla raes so verdadeiras ( T ) ou falsas ( F ). ) a) The information is lost when the computer is switched off. (F ) b) Information is held in the memory as bits of electric charge. ( T) c) We keep information only in the memory of the computer. (T ) d) Computers understand binary code. (T ) e) Memory is the place where the computer keeps information when it is working u pon it. (T) 4) Observando o contexto semntico das palavras abaixo, tente ligar as palavras em ingls com suas possveis tradues. ( ( ( ( ( ( a b c d e f ) ) ) ) ) ) binary code (d ) ligada store ( e) compreende, entende keeps (a ) cdigo binrio switched on (b ) armazena understand (f ) desligada switched off (c ) guarda, contm
