Question

【題目】 Like many countries, Britain has serious environmental(環(huán)境的) problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog (霧霾). The government made new laws to stop smog from coal(煤) fires and factories and things became better .

Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution was much worse. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.

Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result, the small shops have been closed and more people have to travel to do their shopping.

Many people think that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport (交通). Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about 100 pounds, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over 1.00 pound.

Many people are trying to cut the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to make less the pollution and the cost.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，講述了倫敦霧霾嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題，并指出主要原因是人們過(guò)度使用私家車(chē)造成的；要解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題必須先改進(jìn)如今昂貴的公共交通系統(tǒng)。

【1】句意：英國(guó)的環(huán)境問(wèn)題。

根據(jù)Like many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems，可知文章主要講倫敦的環(huán)境問(wèn)題，故填problems。

【2】句意：何時(shí)。

根據(jù)右邊欄目分別為Why，What，How，可知此處也填特殊疑問(wèn)詞；根據(jù)下面分欄中的的In the past和Today，可知此處表示時(shí)間，故填When。

【3】句意：1952年超過(guò)4000人死亡。

根據(jù)In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog，可知超過(guò)4000人死亡，故填over。

【4】句意：來(lái)自于汽車(chē)的霧霾。

根據(jù)時(shí)間線Today和Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars，可知問(wèn)題來(lái)自于汽車(chē)，故填cars。

【5】句意：為自行車(chē)建特別的道路。

根據(jù)Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work，可知是建自行車(chē)道，故填bicycles。
