Now collective intelligence expert Dr.Dirk Helbing says understanding more about ants could help solve one of the headaches of modern life — road congestion. His team set up an “ant motorway” with two routes of different widths from the nest to some sugar syrup (糖浆). Soon the narrower route became congested. But when an ant returning along the congested route to the nest collided with another ant just starting out, the returning ant pushed the newcomer onto the other path. However, if the returning ant had enjoyed a trouble-free journey it did not redirect the newcomer. The result was that just before the shortest route became clogged the ants were diverted (转移) to another route and traffic jams never formed. The researchers also created a computer model of more complex ant networks with routes of different lengths. The team found that even though ants being rerouted sometimes took a longer route, they still got to the food quickly and efficiently. Dr.Helbing, of the Dresden University of Technology in Germany, said that while you cannot allow cars to collide with vehicles coming in the opposite direction as a form of traffic control, you could do the next best thing and allow them to communicate. His plan is to force cars traveling in one direction to tell oncoming vehicles what traffic conditions they are about to encounter — so they can take evasive (回避的) action if necessary. 1．The first paragraph implies that________. A．ants are clever and good at dealing with traffic jams because of developed brain function B．ants have a special way to manage congestion C．insects are similar to animals in dealing with traffic jams because of developed brain function D．insects have more advantages t
