15、visible cause for their delay. Now, a team of mathematicians have found the answer by developing a model to show how major delays occur on our roads, with no apparent (显然的) cause. The model showed that a driver, slowing down below a critical speed (极限速率) when reacting to unexpected events, forces th
16、e car behind to slow down further and the next car back to reduce its speed still further. The result of this is that several miles back, cars would finally come to a stop, with drivers unaware of the reason for their delay. The model predicts that this is a very typical situation on a busy highway
17、(above 15 vehicles per km). The jam moves backwards through the traffic creating a so-called “backward travelling wave”, which drivers may encounter many miles upstream, several minutes after it was caused. Drivers and policy-makers have not previously known why jams like this occur, though many hav
18、e put it down to the sheer volume of traffic. While this clearly plays a part in this new theory, the main issue is around the smoothness of traffic flow. According to the model, heavy traffic will not automatically lead to jams but can be smooth-flowing. This model takes into account the time delay
19、 in drivers reactions, which lead to drivers braking more heavily than if they had identified (识别) and reacted to a problem ahead a second earlier. When a driver taps the brake, the traffic may come to a full standstill several miles behind. It really matters how hard a driver brake a slight braking
20、 from a driver who has identified a problem early will allow the traffic flow to remain smooth. Heavier braking, usually caused by a driver reacting late to a problem, can affect traffic flow for many miles.56. From the passage, we learn that _.A. drivers are often unaware of the reason why a traffi
21、c jam happens B. many drivers dont know how to deal with unexpected eventsC. heavy traffic often forces drivers to slow down D. traffic jams often happen on a busy highway57. Which of the following is NOT included in the new theory?A. Traffic speed. B. Width of roads. C. Traffic smoothness. D. Delay
22、 time.58. Traffic jams can be avoided when _.A. mathematicians develop a model B. drivers react to problems earlyC. there is a backward travelling wave D. there is a visible cause of the delay59. The underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refers to _.A. backward travelling wave B. many miles
23、upstreamC. a busy highway D. the volume of traffic60. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A new model developed by mathematicians.B. The mystery of traffic jams solved by mathematicians.C. Traffic jams caused by slowly-reacting drivers.D. Impacts of slight and heavy braking.The only salm
24、on (鲑鱼) farm in Northern Ireland has lost its entire population of 100,000 fish, worth about $2 million, to an astonishing jellyfish (海蜇) attack, its owners said Wednesday. The Northern Salmon Co. Ltd. said billions of jellyfish in a thick pack of about 10 square miles and 35 feet deep flooded out t
25、he fish last week in two net pens about a mile off the coast of the Glens of Antrim, north of Belfast. Managing director John Russell said the companys dozen workers tried to rescue the salmon, but their three boats struggled for hours to push their way through the mass of jellyfish. All the fish we
26、re dead or dying from stings (刺) and stress by the time the boats reached the pens, he said. Russell, who ever worked at Scottish salmon farms and took the Northern Ireland job just three days before the attack, said he had never seen anything like it in 30 years in the business. “It was unprecedent
27、ed. The sea was red with these jellyfish and there was nothing we could do about it, absolutely nothing,” he said. The species of jellyfish responsible, Pelagia, popularly known as the purple stinger, is noted for its purplish night-time glow and its propensity (习性) for frightening swimmers in the w
28、armer Mediterranean Sea. Until the past ten years, the purple stinger has rarely been seen so far north in British or Irish waters and scientists regard this as evidence of global warming. Russell said the company, which bills its salmon as naturally-raised and exports to France, Belgium, Germany an
29、d the United States, is likely to be closed unless it receives immediate help from the British government.61. What is this passage mainly about?A. Jellyfish moved out of the Mediterranean Sea.B. The Northern Salmon Co. Ltd. lost $2 million.C. Jellyfish killed 100,000 salmon in Northern Ireland.D. Sc
