词汇理解
The persistent haze over many of our cities is a reminder of the polluted air that we breathe. Over 80% of the world\’s urban population is breathing air that fails to meet World Health Organisation guidelines, and an estimated 4.5 million people died【C1】________from outdoor air pollution in 2015.
Globally, urban populations are expected to double in the next 40 years, and an extra 2 billion people will need new places to live, as well as services and ways to move around their cities. What is more important, the decisions that we make now about the design of our cities will【C2】________the everyday lives and health of the coming generations. So what would a smog-free, or at least low-pollution, city be like?
Traffic has become【C3】________with air pollution, and many countries intend to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the next two decades. But simply【C4】________to electric cars will not mean pollution-free cities. The level of emissions they cause will depend on how the electricity to run them is【C5】________, while brakes, tyres and roads all create tiny airborne【C6】________as they wear out.
Across the developed world, car use is in decline as more people move to city centres, while young people especially are【C7】________for other means of travel. Researchers are already asking if motor vehicle use has reached its【C8】________and will decline, but transport planners have yet to catch up with this 【C9】________, instead of laying new roads to tackle traffic jams. As users of London\’s orbital M25 motorway will know, new roads rapidly fill with more traffic. In the US, studies have shown that doubling the size of a road can【C10】________double the traffic, taking us back to the starting point.

2.【C1】
K
解析：副词辨析题。空格所在句子成分完整，空格前面是不及物动词died，后面为介词短语from outdoor air pollution作状语，因此空格处需要填入副词。逗号前面的分句提到，全球超过80%的城市人口正在呼吸的空气不符合世界卫生组织的标准。空格所在分句进一步指出，2015年估计有450万人因室外空气污染而死亡。因此，空格处需要填入一个可以修饰“死亡”的副词。备选的副词中，simply“仅仅，只是”与此处意思不符，故排除。由此确定副词K项prematurely为本题答案。
3.【C2】
C
解析：动词辨析题。空格所在句的主语是the decisions，that we make now about the design of our cities是定语从句修饰主语，空格前面是will，空格后面是并列的名词短语the everyday lives and health of the coming generations，由此推断空格处应填入及物动词原形作谓语。空格前一句提到，在全球范围内，预计未来40年内城市人口将翻一番，另外20亿人口将需要新的居住地以及在城市内出行所需的服务和道路。紧接着空格所在句提到“我们现在做出的城市设计决策”和“子孙后代的日常生活和健康状况”，两者之间的关系通常是前者影响或决定后者，因此空格处应填入一个表示“影响”或“决定”的及物动词，备选词中符合以上要求的只有determine“决定”，由此确定答案为C。
4.【C3】
