问题     The small size of the components of computer chips has proved unstoppable. In each new (1)_____, those components are smaller and more tightly packed than they were in their predecessor. (2)_____ has been so rapid that chip designers are (3)_____ apparently fundamental barriers to further reductions in size and increases in density. In a small size version of the (4)_____ to wireless communication in the macroscopic world, a group of researchers led by Alain Nogaret, think they can make chips (5)_____ components talk to each other wirelessly.
    The researchers (6)_____ to use the standard print techniques employed in chipmaking to coat a semiconductor with tiny magnets. These magnets will (7)_____ local magnetic fields that point in opposite directions at different points (8)_____ the chip’s surface. Electrons have a (9)_____ called spin—that is affected by magnetic fields, and the team hopes to use a/an (10)_____ called inverse electron-spin vibration to make electrons (11)_____ the chip emit microwaves.
    Dr. Nogaret imagine great advances that would stem (12)_____ the success of his work, and these are not (13)_____ to the possibility of packing components yet more tightly. In today’s chips, the failure of a single connection can put the whole circuit out of (14)_____. This should not happen with a wireless system (15)_____ it could be programmed to re-route signals.
    The project will not be (16)_____ sailing. Generating microwaves powerful enough to (17)_____ data reliably will (18)_____ involve stacking several layers of magnets and semiconductors together and encouraging the electrons in them to move in a harmonious union. But if it (19)_____, a whole new wireless world will be (20)_____.


选项 A、manage
B、turn
C、intend
D、like

答案C

解析 上下文的理解。上一段中提出研究小组的观点,这一段阐述了研究小组开展研究工作,而intend的意思是"打算,意欲,想要",符合题意。manage to do的意思是"设法,达成",侧重于指经过很大的努力、克服了很多困难、想方设法做成什么事情,不如"打算"贴切文意。turn to的意思是"使(某人或某物)变成,成为",like to do的意思是"喜欢做某事",均不符合题意,排除。
