When a queen dies, workers often lay unfertilized eggs that hatch into drones. Yet workers rarely reproduce while a queen reigns. According to natural selection (natural selection: n.[生]自然选择,物竞天择说) theory, a worker would enhance her fitness—or ability to propagate her genes—by hatching her own eggs in addition to or in place of the queen’s. But a typical worker’s fitness would be diminished if other workers’ sons, who have less genetic material in common with the worker, supplanted the queen’s sons (the worker’s brothers). Researchers, testing the hypothesis that workers usually somehow block each other’s attempts to reproduce, put unfertilized eggs laid by workers and by the queen into a hive. Other workers quickly devoured the workers’ eggs while leaving the queen’s eggs alone. 17. The author refers to the experiment described in lines 16-19 in order to (A) explain how worker bees are prevented from mating with drones (B) explain how worker bees hatch and nurture the queen’s young (C) demonstrate the universality of natural selection (D) show that worker bees are capable of thwarting each other’s attempts to reproduce (E) provide a model of daily life in a typical honeybee hive 18. The inner workings in a honeybee hive that regulate reproduction, as they are described in the passage, are most similar to which of the following types of human societies?
