Not everything important in a cars environment
30、 will be caught by the vehicles camera. Another vehicle approaching at high speed on a collision (碰撞) track might not be visible until its too late. This is why vehicle- to-vehicle communication is undergoing rapid development. Our research shows that cars will need to be able to chat and cooperate
31、on the road, although the technical challenges are considerable.Applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication range from vehicles driving together in a row, to safety messages about nearby emergency vehicles. Vehicles could alert each other to avoid collisions or share notices about passers-by a

A high level of AI seems required for such vehicles, not only to self-dr
33、ive from A to B, but also to react intelligently to messages received.

A new study teste
40、d the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour, which may have evolved (进化) specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage. Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food. So the researchers tested whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could g
41、et it at their food after a gap of 17 hours-something we wouldnt expect them to do naturally. But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.In another experiment, the researchers taught crows to select a token (礼品券) from a number of items so that they could the
42、n exchange for food. Again, the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour. This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning, which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour. For example, we know that chimpanzees select, transport and save
43、 appropriate tools for future needs.These studies have shown that animals can plan for the future-but they left an important question open for debate. Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific advantage, or can they flexibly and intelligently apply plan
44、ning behaviour across various actions? Most critics would say the former, as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviours.But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesnt typically occur in nature. This supports the
45、 view that at least some recognitive abilities in animals dont evolve just in response to specific problems. Instead, it suggests that animals can apply these behaviours flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans. We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved. Then we might be able
46、to see how crows ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.12. Whats the new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1?A. They can store foodB. They can use tools to recover food.C. They can store and recover tools.D. They can select and store food.13. What o
