Electroniccomputer chips made of tiny silicon wafers now regularly contain millions ofelectronic switches. Unfortunately,electronic switches that are this small cannot withstand intenseradiation. Micro-Mechanics plans toproduce a chip that, because it uses only microscopic mechanical switches, willbe invulnerable to radiation damage. Theswitches will, however, be slower than electronic switches and the chip willcontain only 12,000 switches.
Forthere to be a market for Micro-Mechanics's chip as a result of the apparentadvantage described above, each of the following would have to be true EXCEPT:
A.There will be applications in which the speed attainable by an electronicswitch is not essential.
B.Switches used on electronic chips that contain only 12,000 switches are morevulnerable to radiation damage than the switches on Micro-Mechanics's chip willbe.
C.There will be applications for computer chips in environments where the chipsmay have to survive intense radiation.
D.Some devices in which computer chips will be used will have other componentsthat will be able to function during or after exposure to radiation.
E.Manufacturers are able to protect electronic computer chips against exposure tointense radiation, where this protection is necessary.
THX for your answer!

B项说原来那种switches和同样的只有12000的新产品来说更容易受辐射.原文说的12000的只是新的产品中的啊,没说旧的swithces有多少~作者: xiaoxiaoxxliu 时间: 2012-9-17 20:29
