VI– Reading Comprehension ( 130 Marks )
Read the following passage, then answer the questions below:
The first modern electronic computer was built in 1946. Since that time, the
computer has developed a lot and started to play a larger part in our lives. There was a quite
widespread feeling of worry that computers would take over the world from man one day.
Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are reducing more and more of our
routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic and also
a less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are not ready to
challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that a computer
may act badly.
Obviously, there would be no point in using a computer if you had to check all its
answers, but people should also rely on their own knowledge and experience and check the
machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine
double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-
computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the
help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental
thinking.
It seems hard these days to measure the original size of computers and how small they
have become in the last ten years. But within the last five years they have become even
smaller and somehow more powerful and faster than ever before. Gone are the days where
one had to post a letter and wait a week or more for a response. Long distance phone calls
are unnecessary for anyone who has got a computer, a webcam, and a speedy Internet
connection. Automobiles are now being manufactured with emergency call features for the
convenience and safety of drivers and their passengers, making the days of carrying a map
completely unnecessary and improving the peace of mind of any one who must travel the
roads alone or at night.
Fortunately. There are many people who work hard to focus on securing our networked
technology. Police officers as well as trained hacking and computer programming experts
also work to provide safe and secure technology for us. New technology in computer debate
has even opened up the world of police investigations, as personal computers, cell phones,
and other portable electronic devices can now solve crimes that seem to have little other
evidence.
A) Choose the right answer from a, b, c and d : ( 6x10 = 60 )
31- A good title for this passage could be………………
a) Computers in the Past and Nowadays
b) Businessmen and their Problems
