Question

1．In common with many countries，Britain has serious environmental problems．In 1952，more than 4，000 people died in London because of the smog．The governmentintroduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and thesituation improved a lot．
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 increased a lot．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 disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping．
Critics（評(píng)論員） say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport．Transportin Britain is very expensive．An early morning train trip from Glasgowto 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 reduce 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 reduce the pollution and the cost．

分析 環(huán)境問(wèn)題現(xiàn)在是全球共同的話題，短文以英國(guó)為例進(jìn)行了說(shuō)明．與許多國(guó)家一樣，英國(guó)有嚴(yán)重的環(huán)境問(wèn)題．在1952年，在倫敦超過(guò)4000人死于煙霧，因此政府頒布新法律來(lái)阻止來(lái)自燒煤和工廠的煙霧，環(huán)境污染改善了很多．今天，倫敦更干凈了，但有一個(gè)新的問(wèn)題：現(xiàn)在煙霧來(lái)自小轎車．另一個(gè)難題是新的遠(yuǎn)離市中心的購(gòu)物中心的出現(xiàn)，使得更多的人開(kāi)車去這種購(gòu)物中心購(gòu)物，更加重了環(huán)境負(fù)擔(dān)．在英國(guó)交通運(yùn)輸非常昂貴，因此，批評(píng)家說(shuō)，英國(guó)需要更好和更便宜的公共交通．在英國(guó)許多人都在努力減少汽車的使用，一些城市現(xiàn)在有自行車專用車道，許多人騎自行車去上班；有些人拼車一起去旅游，以減少污染和成本．
