问题     [A]   Using a pair of charged particles, group leader Christopher Monroe and his team place each in a vacuum and keep them in position with electric fields. An ultra-fast laser pulse triggers the atoms to emit photons simultaneously. If the photons interact in just the right way, their parent atoms enter a quantum state known as entanglement, in which atom B adopts the properties of atom A even though they’re in separate chambers a meter apart. When A is measured, the information that had been previously encoded on it disappears in accordance with the rules of the quantum world. But all is not lost: because B is entangled with A, B now contains the information that was once carried on A. That information, in a very real sense, has been teleported.
    [B]  Physics and magic aren’t often mistaken, but increasingly, physicists themselves seem to be trying to change that. Last year, a team at the University of California announced that it had developed materials that could lead to an invisibility clothing. Last month, a team of scientists from the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) has joined the fun. The current object of their research? Teleportation.
    [C]  Gordon Moore was rewarded for his prescience with a sort of immortality: the famed "Moore’s Law" is one of the venerable truths of the computer world. The rest of us were rewarded with ever faster and ever smaller computers. At some point soon, however, miniaturization will reach a point that’s too tiny to be practical. It’s then, many hope, that what’s known as quantum computing—based on information-sharing particles—will take over.
    [D]  Depending on your favorite science fiction stories, teleportation is either a very bad idea or a very cool one. For scientists, it’s just very complex, so much so that at this point, teleportation is not a matter of moving matter but one of transporting information. Already, physicists have been able to exchange information between light particles or atoms, so long as they were right next to each other. The current experiment marks the first in which information has traveled a significant distance—1 meter—between two isolated atoms.
    [E]  Quantum-computing technology, however, holds a lot more potential than that, if only because of its massive information-storage capacity. One of the marvelous little wrinkles of the quantum world is a condition known as superposition, in which a particle can occupy two states at the same time. Thus, the capacity of a computer can be doubled with the application of the new technology.
    [F]  O.K., so parents might not be inviting the JQI team to perform at their kids’ birthday parties anytime soon, but what the quantum trick lacks in showmanship, it makes up for in practical applications for future computers. In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors that could be placed on a computer chip would double every two years—which is precisely what has happened.
    [G]  The next step for the JQI team is to improve the photons’ precision and the rate of communication between the particles. What we won’t see soon—or ever, according to Monroe—is a device that can teleport humans from one point to another. "There’s way too many atoms," says Monroe. "At the other end of the transporter, you need to have some blob of atoms that represents the object being teleported, which is not possible now. I mean, what would that look like?"
    B→【D16】→【D17】→【D18】→【D19】→【D20】→G
【D18】
选项
答案F
解析 上一段(即A)讲述科学家在实验中成功实现了孤立原子间信息的瞬间转移，推测下文可能讲该技术的应用。F首句中的转折信号词but后面指出量子戏法给未来的计算机产业带来好处(practical applications for future computers)，句中的quantum trick即指上文的teleportation，此句与上文衔接得当，同时引出下文有关此技术在该领域的应用，承上启下，故应选F。此外，本题还可用排除法。根据选项分析，F和C相邻。F后半部分对摩尔作了简单介绍，指出他对电脑晶体管发展潜能的预测，摩尔在F处应为首次出现；C首句的prescience即指代F末句所讲内容，故F在C之前。C末尾提及的quantum computing应为该词在文中的首次出现，故同样出现了该词的E应在C之后。
