Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years agoHowever, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solveOne reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s housesIf these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobsAnother reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel(燃料), like gas, is quite expensive

试题分析:这篇短文主要介绍了由于相同的原因,伦敦在五十年前和现在的北京或重庆一样,是浓雾的。伦敦政府出台新的法律,几年内伦敦的空气变得干净多了,不再有雾霾。中国的城市也面临伦敦当年的问题,然而中国解决起来更困难。可是有的地方的政府和人民注意减少污染,空气也越来越清新。结果是北

京的雾霾比以前少多了。

1.细节理解题。根据短文第一段some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal()that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter描述,可知伦敦的污染有一些是来自工厂,但许多来自冬季人们为了取暖所燃烧的煤。故选C

2.细节理解题。根据第一段A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British cityWithin a few years, the air became much cleaner描述,一个新的法律出台了,没有人在英国的任何一个城市燃烧煤。几年内,空气变得清新多了。由此可知选B.

3.推理判断题。根据第一段可以判断。The “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fog.雾霾实际上就是烟和尘埃的混合物。

4.归纳总结题。根据第二段,One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s housesAnother reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel(燃料), like gas, is quite expensive可知有两点原因,故选B

5.是非判断题。改题是选择不正确的选项。由第二段changing from coal to cleaner fuel(燃料), like gas, is quite expensive描述,从煤变成干净的燃料像气,相当贵。可知煤比气贵。故选项B不正确。

考点:环保类阅读。
