　　“Phantom” Traffic Jams Are Real — And Scientists Know How to Stop Them

　　答案：36-40 CHENF 41-45BMGDL

　　36. C 【定位】The exact cause of these phantom traffic jams has long remained a

　　mystery. But now new research has found the cause and researchers may have come up

　　with a solution for this frustrating traffic pattern...

　　37. H 【定位】“But with bilateral control, you could almost double that.”

　　38. E 【定位】In essence, each driver would constantly make adjustments to keep their

　　car roughly halfway between the car in front and the car behind.

　　39. N 【定位】But until those systems become standard, human drivers can help reduce

　　phantom traffic jams simply by not following the car in front so closely.

　　40. F 【定位】Horn calls this method of vehicle spacing bilateral (双边的) control,

　　and he said it could be achieved with relatively simple modifications to the adaptive

　　cruise control that many new cars already have.

　　41. B 【定位】“When caught in such a traffic jam, it is common for drivers to assume

　　that there must be an accident, or construction or something,”...

　　42. M 【定位】The bilateral control approach would include adding rear-facing sensors

　　to determine the distance to the vehicle following a car.

　　43. G 【定位】And the researchers in the new study have calculated that solving

　　phantom jams could save at least some of the estimated $121 billion per year that traffic

　　jams are estimated to cost the U. S. economy, Horn told Live Science.

　　44. D 【定位】A phantom jam begins when a car in dense traffic slows down even

　　slightly, which causes the car behind that vehicle to slow even more—and the slowing

　　action spreads backward through the lane of traffic like a wave, getting worse the farther

　　it spreads.

　　45. L 【定位】Since starting his research on phantom traffic jams, Horn has learned

　　that schools of fish and flocks of birds and bats use similar spacing strategies to avoid

　　hitting each other while swimming or flying in densely packed groups.

　　四级写作第三套-跨文化交流

　　The Development of Students' Cross-Cultural Abilities

　　首段：从全球化背景切入，点明培养学生跨文化能力对其未来发展的重要性，确立论述主题。

　　中段：分三个层面提出培养途径：

　　1）通过开设国际交流、外国文学等课程，帮助学生了解不同文化背景，以西方礼仪课程为例说明避免文化误解；

　　2）鼓励参与留学项目或国际志愿活动，让学生在真实场景中提升适应能力；

　　3）利用线上语言交流、文化论坛等平台，促进跨文化沟通，培养同理心与开放思维。

　　尾段：总结跨文化能力的培养需理论与实践结合，强调其对学生在全球化社会中立足的重要性。

　　In a globalized world, cultivating students' cross-cultural abilities has become increasingly vital for their future development.

　　First, universities should offer diverse cultural courses, such as international communication and foreign literature, to help students understand different cultural backgrounds. Taking a course on Western etiquette, for example, can prevent misunderstandings in global interactions. Second, practical experiences matter. Participating in study abroad programs or international volunteer activities allows students to immerse themselves in real-life cross-cultural scenarios, enhancing their adaptability. Third, leveraging digital tools like online language exchanges or cultural forums helps students connect with people from various cultures, fostering empathy and open-mindedness.

　　In conclusion, developing cross-cultural abilities requires a combination of theoretical learning and practical engagement. By equipping students with such skills, universities enable them to thrive in an interconnected global society.
