2.In common with many countries,Britain has serious environmental problems.In 1952,more than 4,000people died in London because of the smog.The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation 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 centres.In the past,people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus.Now,many people drive to the new shopping centres.As a result,the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport.Transport in Britain is very expensive.An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about
£100,for example.A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over£1.00.
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 环境问题现在是全球共同的话题,短文以英国为例进行了说明.与许多国家一样,英国有严重的环境问题.政府颁布新法律来阻止污染,情况改善很多.在英国运输非常昂贵,因此,评论家说,英国需要更好和更便宜的公共交通.
解答 46.Problems 细节理解题 根据"In common with many countries,Britain has serious environmental problems 与其他国家一样,英国有严重的环境问题"可知,这里应该填problems
47.Results 推理判断题 根据"In 1952,more than 4,000people died in London because of the smog"和"As a result,about 160 people died from pollution in just four days."可知,这些都是环境污染导致的结果,结果 result,因这里不止一个例子,故用复数形式results
48.past 推理判断题 通过分析表格可知,这里是在拿过去的情况和现在作对比,过去 in the past,故答案为past
49.from 细节理解题 根据"he government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.政府颁布新法律来阻止来自化石燃料和工厂的烟雾,情况改善很多"可知,这里意为:来自化石燃料和工厂的烟雾.故这里应该填from
50.Over 细节理解题 根据"In 1952,more than 4,000people died in London because of the smog"可知,这句话意为"在伦敦,1952年有超过4000人死于烟雾."因这里只有一空,故应该用over 超过
51.introduced 细节理解题 根据"The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.政府颁布新法律来阻止来自化石燃料和工厂的烟雾,情况改善很多"可知,这里应该为"颁布 introduce",因"law"是"introduce"的承受者,故这里应该为被动语态,用introduce的过去分词introduced
52.cars 细节理解题 根据"Today,London is much cleaner but there is a new problem:smog from cars"可知,现在的烟雾污染多来自于汽车污染,故答案为cars
53.died 细节理解题 根据"As a result,about 160 people died from pollution in just four days."可知,在四天里大约有160人死于污染.因时态为一般过去时,所以这里应该为die的过去式died
54.cheaper 细节理解题 根据"Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport."可知,评论家说,英国需要更好和更便宜的公共交通.故答案为cheaper
55.together 细节理解题 根据"Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost."可知,一些人一起乘一辆车去减少污染和花费,故答案为together 一起.
