The “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fog. In other words, it was made by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal (煤) that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, Londons smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air. A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city. Within a few years, the air became much cleaner. There were no more “pea-soupers”.Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in peoples houses. If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel (燃料), like gas, is quite expensive.However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution. As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers” in Beijing than there used to be.66. What was the main reason for air pollution in London? A. There was too much smoke in the sky.B. There were too many factories in the city.C. People burnt too much coal in the houses.D. The city was too big for the cleaners to clean.67. How did the air in London become much cleaner? A. There was not so much fog in the winter later.B. A law was made to keep people from burning coal in their houses.C. Many factories in the city were closed.D. People paid more attention to cleaning their city.68. What does the underlined word “pea-soupers” refer to? A. Smog. B. Smoke. C. Gas. D. Coal.69. The problem of air pollution is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve because of _ reasons.A. one B. two C. three D. four70. Which sentence is NOT true? A. Air pollution is serious in Beijing and Chongqing.B. Using coal is much more expensive than using gas.C. Factories made much more pollution in China.D. The reasons of air pollution in London and Beijing are different.DMany teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these hobbies can get in the way of schoolwork, and parents might worry about their childs success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school running team and has always wanted to be a professional athlete. 71. _ “Of course we want to see Liu Yu achieve his dreams,” says Mr Liu, “and we know how much he loves running.
