кремниевая пластина, интегральная схема более известная как чип.
2. Изобретение интегральной схемы является одним из самых
сложных изобретений человека и науки.
3. Всего несколько десятков лет назад ученым требовалось
очень много времени, чтобы сделать несколько тысяч расчетов.
4. Суперкомпьютер отличается от обычного тем
, что может
выполнять все операции одновременно.
5. Появление фотонных компьютеров обусловлено тем, что
они смогут производить операции в тысячу раз быстрее, чем
современные компьютеры.
6. Преимущество света заключается в том, что его лучи

TEXT 3
Read and translate:
Let's look at the progress the computers have made in their
development. Besides the great changes in size and speed, we now have
machines which change numbers into pictures, words and sounds. The
next big change will be when we get computers that will understand human
language. But now if you want to programme your own computer, you
must learn its language. It does not understand yours. For example you talk
with an Englishman. You make one small grammar mistake «have»
instead of «has». The man understands what you mean and the talk goes on.
But if you make even the smallest mistake in computer language, the talk
breaks down and you must go back to the beginning.
TEXT 4
Read, translate and render the conversation in reported speech.
Computers
Mary: Have you seen an interesting advertisement in the last issue
of «The Economist»?
John: I haven’t read it yet.
M.: The School of Engineering offers a new programme in
information system. Applications are invited for jobs in this field.
J.: Professor Smith has told me about it. This programme is
interesting. It is designed to meet the needs of persons with a
computing background for their work in management and
industry.
M.: Don't you think that our son can lecture on this new
programme?
J.: Why not? He graduated from the Department of Computer
Science and for some years was taking part in the research
project connected with the problems of supercomputers and
their manufacturing.
M.: As far as I remember his research interests cover software and
application.
J.: And what do they say about the contract?
M.: It is a three years' contract and it may be extended for further
two years. I'll write Mike a letter.
J.: It's too long. You'd better call him.
