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.

【C9】
选项
答案
O
解析
[语法判断]空格前有介词with和限定词this,所以需要填入名词单数形式与this搭配作with的宾语。[语义判断]逗号前面的分句提到,研究人员已在询问机动车辆的使用是否将下降。空格所在分句则表示转折,指出交通规划人员仍在铺设新路来解决交通堵塞,还未跟上前一分句提到的“机动车辆的使用已达高峰并将下降”这一“趋势”。由此确定名词trend“趋势,倾向”为本题答案。
