EXAMEN NACIONAL DE ADELANTO DE INGLÉS 6to AÑO – Abril 2008 KEY FOR THE TEACHER Part A) 1. Listening Script. ( bold and underlined words are to be completed by the students). Read each part twice. Chip shop More than 90% of the world's mobile phones are powered by technology created by British firm Arm. It designs chip architectures that it licenses to semiconductors makers such as Qualcomm and Broadcom. Ian Drew from Arm said future mobile phones demanded ever more processing power. But building chips with greater processing was not a straightforward, he said. "If you look at a typical phone the first thing you have got to do is get within the half a watt envelope. "It needs to get into your pocket. And there's no fan. It needs to work for days rather than hours.

Part B) Now listen to the second part of the report and choose the right option.Mr Drew added: "When you start adding multi media experiences - such as 3D graphics, video, and games - there are two ways to do that: you can get bigger and bigger processors or you have multi core where you can switch off a processor when you don't need it." Arm is demonstrating a chip architecture (1), called Coretex A9, that will offer four cores, or processors, on a single chip. Symbian has been working with Arm on future uses for multi-core mobile phones. "You can use massive amounts of processing if you need it. But if you don't you can power down the cores that aren't required," said Mr Clifford. Symmetrical Multi Processing will drive the next generation of applications on a phone, he added. "Silicon vendors are looking very seriously at how they integrate SMP." (1) LDOCE: the structure of a computer system and the way it works
