I/O ports 输入/输出端口 Questions for text discussion: 1. How many parts does a computer mainly consist of? A computer consists of an input ／output(I ／O)device，a memory，a control section， and an arithmetic and logic unit(ALU)，which is the computational element ． 2. What functions can the CPU perform? The CPU “read”each instruction from memory in a logically determinate sequence and use it to initiate processing actions. The CPU can access any data stored in memory. The CPU can address these ports and input the data contained there． 3. Take some examples about the output devices of the computer. Almost any computer requires one or more output ports that permit the CPU tocommunicate the results of its processing to the outside world ．such as a line printer, such as a magnetic tape, such as an automatic assembly line. The main idea of this unit: This unit mainly discusses the basic knowledge about computers. (1)A computer consists of an input/output (I/O) device, a memory, a control section, and an arithmetic and logic unit (ALU. The arithmetic logic unit and control section are the system’s central processing unit （CPU ）. (2) The program memory serves basically as a place to store instructions The data memory is used to store the data to be manipulated. (3) The input and output ports together permit the processor to interact with the outside world. New Words 1. memory n．记忆，存储器 e.g.
