Directions for Questions 11-15:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the
basis of the information
provided in the passage. Microprocessor is an electronic
computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and
other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC).
Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual
small-scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few
transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale
Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions
of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The
evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comes
to steadily increasing performance over the years. This law suggests that the
complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will
double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for
calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of
microprocessors over every other form of computer; every system from the largest
mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at
their core. .As with many advances in technology, the microprocessor was an
idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a complete
microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments'
TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer. . A
computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the
microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one
chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of)
microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat
more similar to a micro controller.
11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a
microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.
12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) Microprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of
each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made
processing power cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from
individual small scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.
13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret
14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of
microprocessors?
A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers
15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an
apt description of a:
A) 11icro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor
Directions for Questions 16-20:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the
basis of the information provided in the passage.
Dynamic Link Libraries Windows provides several files called
dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of software code that
perform common functions such as opening or saving a file. When Windows application
wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to
Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is
known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows
COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open,
File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any
information the DLL function will need to complete the operation. For example,
a program calling the Open File function in COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file
spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box's Filename text
box. The application also passes along a specification for the type of
information it expects the DLL to return to the
application when the DLL's work is done. The application,
for example, may expect return information in the form of integers, true/false
values, or text. Windows passes the responsibility for program execution to the
DLL, along with the parameters and the return information the DLL will need.
The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At
this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs
all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with
the PC's hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return
information into memory, where it can be found by the application, and
instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The application
inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function
was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application
continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the
operation failed, the application displays an error message.
16) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware
17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and
executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the
application to execute it
18) Which information does an application need to passto
Windows to use a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine
to be executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any
parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of
information to be returned
19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is
executing, the calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with
Windows and through Windows with the PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL
and is removed from memory
20) The DLL function after execution returns:
A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can
be inspected by the calling application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the
calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it
so that it can inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can
inspect whether the function operation was a success
