SECTION A :
Instruction : Read the text and answer the questions that follow.

Users with limited hand mobility who want to use a keyboard have
several options. A key guard is a metal or plastic plate placed over the
keyboard that allows users to rest their hands on the keyboard without
accidentally pressing any keys. A key guard also guides a finger or
pointing device so a user presses only one key at a time.
Keyboards with larger keys are also available. Still another option is
the on-screen keyboard, in which a graphic of a standard keyboard displays
on the users screen.

Instruction : Identify the words given below with the appropriate parts of speech:
noun, verb, adjective, adverb and preposition.
The most profound differences between todays PC and tomorrows will be invisible
to the naked eye. What microcomputers do and how people use them will change
dramatically. The overwhelming power of networks will pay off in improved
productivity and mind-blowing access to information from around the world.
Companies will harness new kinds of software designed not to speed up the work of
isolated individuals but to facilitate collaboration and the pooling of knowledge as a
way of helping the whole organization learn. The PC will be transformed into a kind
of universal mailbox that organizes your voice mail, faxes, and e-mail, including
messages enriched with video clips. Your computer will even absorb that other hoary
remnant of the typewriter age, your desktop telephone. Finally, navigating through
cyberspace will become simpler.
