（2）考查非谓语动词，不定式作后置定语。故选C。
（3）考查动词的时态。as引导时间状语从句，从句中缺谓语，并且主语electricity是不可数名词，所以选A。

（10）as+形容词/副词原级+as，因为前面museums是复数形式，所以用many。故选A。
【题目】 Like many countries, Britain has serious environmental(环境的) problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog (雾霾). 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.
