An information system typically consists of five parts: people, procedures, software, hardware, and data. Information systems are used by people in order to increase productivity. Procedures are rules or guidelines for people to follow when using software, hardware, and data. Software is a program that contains the step-by-step instructions that tell the computer how to do its work. Hardware consists of the physical equipment that processes the data to create information. Data consists of raw unprocessed facts, including text, numbers, images, and sounds. 67. (p. 6) Where would it be most relevant to use the term &data& and the term &information&? Give an example of each.（M） Data are unprocessed facts, including text, numbers, images and sound. An example might be a listing of all customer purchases at a bookstore over the last year. Information is processed data that has been rendered usable with the help of various types of software. From the previous example, you could derive information such as the addresses of customers who bought more than $500 worth of books or the year's top ten horror novels. 68. (p. 8, 9) What is an operating system? Give two examples.(M) Operating systems are software that make the computer function. It is the layer that connects the hardware to the applications software. All programs that run on the computer do so in coordination with the operating system. Mainly, operating systems are programs that coordinate computer resources, provide an interface between the users and the computer, and run applications. Some examples of operating systems are Windows 7 and Mac OS X. 69. (p. 9, 10) What is application software? Describe the two categories of the application software(H). Application software might be described as end user software. These programs can be categorized as either basic or specialized applications. Basic applications are widely used in a large number of careers. One of these basic applications is a browser to navigate, explore, and find information on the Internet. One of the most widely used browsers is Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Specialized applications include thousands of other programs that are more narrowly focused on specific disciplines and occupations. Some of the best known are graphics, audio, video, multimedia, Web authoring, and artificial intelligence programs. 70. (p. 10) What are the differences between a supercomputer and a mainframe computer? (M) Supercomputers are the most powerful type of computer. These machines are special high-capacitycomputers used by very large organizations. Although mainframe computers are not as powerful as supercomputers, mainframe computers are capable of great processing speeds and data storage. For example, insurance companies use mainframes to process information about millions of policyholders.9 / 51《计算机专业英语》群： 71. (p. 11) Describe the differences between minicomputers and microcomputers.（M） Minicomputers, also known as midrange computers, are refrigerator-sized machines. Medium-sized companies or departments of large companies typically use them for specific purposes. For example, production departments use minicomputers to monitor certain manufacturing processes and assembly-line operations. Microcomputers are the least powerful, yet the most widely used, type of computer. There are six types of microcomputers: desktop computers, media centers, notebooks, netbooks, tablet PCs, and handheld computers. 72. (p. 11) Describe the different types of microcomputers with relevant examples(H). There are six types of microcomputers: desktop computers, media centers, notebooks, netbooks, tablet PCs, and handheld computers. Desktop computers are small enough to fit on top of or alongside a desk yet are too big to carry around. Media centers blur the line between desktop computers and dedicated entertainment devices. Notebooks, also called laptops, are portable, lightweight, and fit into most briefcases. Netbooks are smaller, lighter, and less expensive than notebooks. Tablet PCs convert handwriting to standard text that can be further processed by programs such as a word processor. Handheld computers are the smallest microcomputers and are designed to fit into the palm of one hand. Personal digital assistants (PDAs) and smartphones are the most widely used handheld computer. 73. (p. 12) Explain what a system unit is(M). The system unit is a container that houses most of the electronic components that make up a computer system. Two important components of the system unit are the microprocessor and memory. The microprocessor controls and manipulates data to produce information. Memory is a holding area for data, instructions, and information. One type of memory, random-access memory (RAM), holds the program and data that is currently being processed. This type of memory is sometimes referred to as temporary storage because its contents will typically be lost if the electrical power to the computer is disrupted. 74. (p. 12, 13) What is secondary storage? What is the difference between hard disks and solid-state storage? (H) Unlike memory, secondary storage holds data and programs even after electrical power to the computer system has been turned off. Hard disks are typically used to store programs and very large data files. Using rigid metallic platters and read/write heads that move across the platters, hard disks store and retrieve data using magnetic charges. In contrast, solid-state storage does not have any moving parts. It is more reliable and requires less power than hard disks. Solid-state storage saves data electronically in a manner similar to RAM except that its contents will not be lost if electrical power is disrupted. 75. (p. 15) Describe the four types of files.(E) Document files are created by word processors. They include memos, term papers, and letters. Worksheet files are created by electronic spreadsheets to analyze things like budgets and to predict sales. Database files are typically created by database management programs to contain highly structured and organized data. Presentation files are created by presentation graphics programs to save presentation materials, including audience handouts, speaker notes, and electronic slides.第二单元10 / 51《计算机专业英语》Multiple Choice Questions群： 1.

The Internet is a large network that connects together smaller networks all over the globe. Initially, the Internet was all text C no graphics, animations, sound, or video. The Web was introduced in 1991 at the Center for European Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland and added a multimedia interface to the resources available on the Internet. 67. (p. 32) Define the parts of a URL(M). For browsers to connect to resources on the Internet, the address of the resources must be specified. These addresses are called uniform resource locators or URLs. All URLs have at least two basic parts.

The protocol http is used for Web traffic and is the most widely used Internet protocol. The second part of the URL is the domain name, for .

(p. 46) Describe both the advantages, and the disadvantages associated with electronic commerce(M).20 / 51《计算机专业英语》群： Electronic commerce, also known as e-commerce, is the buying and selling of goods over the Internet.

From the buyer's perspective, goods and services can be purchased at any time of day or night. Traditional commerce is typically limited to standard business hours when the seller is open. Additionally, buyers no longer have to physically travel to the seller's location. From the seller's perspective, the costs associated with owning and operating a retail outlet can be eliminated. Another advantage is reduced inventory. Some of the disadvantages include the inability to provide immediate delivery of goods, the inability to &try on& prospective purchases, and questions relating to the security of online payments. 75. (p. 48) Differentiate between auction house sites and person-to-person auction sites. (M) Auction house sites sell a wide range of merchandise directly to bidders.

Auction house sites are generally considered safe places to shop. Person-to-person auction sites operate more like flea markets.

While the owners of these sites typically facilitate the bidding process, they are not involved in completing transactions or in verifying the authenticity of the goods sold. As with purchases at a flea market, buyers and sellers need to be cautious.第三单元Multiple Choice Questions 1.
