In 1952, more than 4,000 people 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.One of the problem is the new out of town shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. Because the small shops have disappeared in the downtown, 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.Environmental _ in BritainTimecauses_SolutionsIn the _Smog _ coal fires and factories_ 4,000 people died in 1952.New laws were _.TodaySmog caused by _.About 160 people _ in a few days in 1991.Provide better and _ public transport.Build special paths for bicycles.Travel to work _ in one car.25. （1分）任务型阅读，前
