Reading Comprehension (20 points, 30 minutes) Directions: There are three passages in this part.

Section A: Normal Reading (10 points) Directions: In this section you will read two passages at normal speed. Each one is followed by 5 questions about it. You will choose the best answer, A, B, C, or D, to each question. Then, on Answer Sheet I, find the number of the question and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of the answer you have chosen. Passage 1 You might not know it, but your operating system is one of your closest and most loyal coworkers. From the moment you turn on your computer in the early morning until the late hours of the workday when you shut it down, your operating system is working, interpreting your every move and “talking“ to all of your computers programs. You might say it runs your work life. What does an operating system do for me? A better question might be, what doesnt it do? For starters, an operating system (OS) is the “interpreter“ between you and all of the software and hardware on your computers system. Just as an interpreter helps communication among foreign diplomats, your OS translates your commands (“open file“) into the 1s and 0s the computer can understand. But more than merely interpreting, the OS becomes a traffic cop. If youre running two applications on your PC at the same time, the OS juggles the computers resources, such as the “thinking time“ that each application demands from the main processor, so that your spreadsheet can keep crunching numbers in the background while you sneak in a couple of holes of Microsoft Golf. The OS also controls internal components, such as memory, external devices-monitors, modems, storage devices-and the look and feel of the user interface. How many kinds of operating systems exist? Too many to list here, but youve probably heard of Microsoft Corp.s Windows 2000, Apple Computer Inc.s Macintosh OS, IBM Corp.s MVS and the various “flavors“ of Unix (like Linux), which top the list of operating systems used today. EPTIPEnglish Proficiency Test For IT Professionals, Level One 第 - 7 - 页，共 11 页 Different OSs are designed for different kinds of computers; Windows runs on PCs, whereas MVS runs on mainframes. An important distinction to note: A desktop OS, such as Windows 2000, runs a single computer; a network operating system (NOS), such as Novell NetWare, controls how groups of individual computers and other devices communicate. A NOS allows users to share files across a network and to access shared devices such as printers, scanners, servers and gateways. 41. What does an OS mean to a starter? A. interpreter B. coworker C. friend D. traffic cop 42. If youre running two applications on your PC at the same time, how does OS work? A. It interpreters between you and all of the software and hardware on your computers system. B. It juggles the computers resources, such as the “thinking time” that each application demands from the main processor. C. It translates your commands into the 1s and 2s the computer can understand. D. None of the above. 43. What does an operating system do for us? A. It acts as an interpreter between you and the computer. B. It acts as a traffic cops. C. It can also control internal components. D. all the above 44. How many kinds of operating systems exist? A. 5 B. 9 C. 20 D. Unknown 45. NOS allow user to share files_. A. across a network and to access shared devices such as printers, scanners, servers and gateways. B. by using the same computer. C. by using the same hardware. D. by using the same software. Passage 2 Linux is a computer operating system. It was initially created as a hobby by a young man. It is one of the most prominent examples of free software and of open- source development: unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the public for anyone to freely use, modify, improve, and redistribute. In the narrowest sense, the term Linux refers to the Linux kernel, but it is commonly used to describe entire Unix-like operating systems (also known as GNU/Linux) that are based on the Linux kernel combined with libraries and tools from the GNU Project and other sources. Most broadly, a Linux distribution bundles large quantities of application software with the core system, and provides more user-friendly installation and upgrades. Initially, Linux was primarily developed and used by individual enthusiasts. Since then, Linux has gained the support of major corporations such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Novell for use in servers and is gaining popularity in the desktop market. Proponents and analysts attribute this success to its vendor independence (the opposite of vendor lock-in), low cost, security, and reliability. Linux was originally developed for Intel 386 microprocessors and now supports all popular computer architectures (and several obscure ones). It is deployed in applications ranging from embedded systems (such as mobile phones and personal video recorders) to personal computers to supercomputers. 46. Which one will be the best title? A. “What is Linux?” B. “Linux and its creator” C. “Linux and widows” D. “Why did Linux succeed?” 47. Why did the young man create Linux originally? A. The young man wanted to use Widows. B. The young man created Linux to earn money. C. The young man wanted to be famous. D. The young liked it. 48. What does the term Linux mean in broad sense according to the passage? A. The term Linux refers to the Linux kernel. EPTIPEnglish Proficiency Test For IT Professionals, Level One 第 - 9 - 页，共 11 页 B. The term Linux is used to describe entire Unix-like operating systems (also known as GNU/Linux) that are based on the Linux kernel combined with libraries and tools from the GNU Project and other sources. C. The term Linux is a computer operating system. D. A Linux distribution bundles large quantities of application software with the core system, and provides more user-friendly installation and upgrades. 49. Who developed and used Linux primarily? A. IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Novell B. individual enthusiasts C. major corporations D. Proponents and analysts 50. Which type of computer does Linux was developed for originally? A. Intel 386 microprocessors B. all popular computers C. personal computers D. supercomputers Section B: Speed Reading (10 points) Directions: In this section you will read one passage at fast speed. There are 5 questions you need to answer. You will choose the best answer, A, B, C, or D, to each question. Then, on Answer Sheet I, find the number of the question and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of the answer you have chosen. Passage 3 For several years language experts have used computers to help people change some documents from one language to another .Now there is new interest in using computers to translate more information. Scientists once believed this could be done easily. They thought computers could change words from one language to anther. They thought computers could make sentences from words by using the rules of the language. However, many words have more than one meaning .The English word “bank” can mean “an organization that keeps or lends money”; or it can mean “the land along a river, lake or ocean”. Sentences also can have more than one meaning .The statement “I can fish” can mean “I am able to catch fish”; or it can mean “I work in a factory, putting fish into cans.” Computers are not able to understand differences in meaning .So scientists have developed a new means of computer translation to solve this problem. They developed a system using a special common language The New York Times newspaper recently explained the system: first the computer translates information from one language into the common language, in which each word has only one meaning .Then the computer translates the information into anther language. 51. When we say “he can fish”, we mean _. A. “He likes fish” B. “He can catch fish” or “He works in a factory, putting fish into fish” C. “he isnt able to c
