问题     Shoals of fish are able to move and turn in seamless formation by following simple rules that are like those used by car drivers, researchers say.
    Some of the most【C1】______sights in nature happen when animals form【C2】______ groups and move together as if【C3】______. Earlier work has shown that fish in large groups make better decisions than【C4】______or small groups.
    Many theories have been【C5】______ about how animals might communicate in order to【C6】______this. But now it appears really simple. The researchers【C7】______groups of two, four or eight mosquito fish in a square arena for five minutes【C8】______studied the movements of individuals in each group. The【C9】______of the swimming fish were fed into software which acts like many pairs of eyes to keep【C10】______ on the direction and speed of each fish in the school and【C11】______it responds to other fish around it.
    As schools of fish rarely suffer from crashes or【C12】______, the rules they use could also【C13】______be applied to robotic systems to solve traffic problems. If a system could be【C14】______ where each car knew where each car was and they could respond to each other and communicate with each other, traffic problems【C15】______ be avoid.
    The researchers used a technique called artificial neural networks to look for【C16】______ in the data. And it turns out the【C17】______ well-organized swimming that fish in shoals【C18】______is actually caused by each fish using very simple rules to respond to its neighbors. These rules include " accelerate towards a neighbor that is far away from you" and " decelerate when a neighbor is【C19】______ in front of you". It is also found that a fish only responds to a single nearest neighbor at any one time. Those【C20】______ to be the rules people use when they are driving. [br] 【C13】
选项 A、theoretically
B、potentially
C、occasionally
D、definitely
答案 B
解析 副词辨析题。句意同上。本段主要讨论研究鱼群有序游动规律的现实意义。根据句中的情态动词(两处均使用了could)，但这里并非表示过去，而是虚拟语气，即作者所说的仅是设想。因此，只有potentially“有潜在可能地”符合原文语境。本段探讨的是实际应用价值，因此排除theoretically“理论上地”；原文没有涉及时间或频度问题，故排除occasionally“偶尔地”；而由上述对于情态动词的分析可知definitely“一定地”与原文意义相悖，排除。
