I’ll never understand how it _______ that you were an hour late on such a short trip.

   A. came on     B. came about     C. came out     D. came over

                                    With the rapid development of public transport system, big cities like Shanghai hope to ease the traffic jams and pollution caused by an increasing number of cars.

Statistics show that Shanghai’s subway lines will reach 350 km by the end of this year, making the city No. 3 in the world in terms of subway length. Shanghai could be ranked No. 1 when the length is extended to 430 km next May in time for the World Expo. This means about 5.5 million people each day could use the city’s subway system, thereby reducing traffic bottle-necks and air and noise pollution in downtown Shanghai.

At present, Shanghai suffers from severe traffic jams, during not only rush hours and weekdays but also off-peak hours and weekends.

For years, car emissions (尾气) have been blamed for contributing 60 percent of the air pollution in the city center, causing various respiratory (呼吸道) diseases.

 What’s more, Shanghai has not met its target of noise reduction for five years, which has become a major source of public complaints. Starting from August 1, cars that are considered highly polluting will be banned from entering the city centre.

Shanghai is also building 16 parking lots with 8,000 spaces near subway terminals so that people can park and ride the public system instead of driving their cars into the city center.

Much more needs to be done for truly easing the traffic jams and air and noise pollution caused by automobiles. For example, the ban on using the horn, which was made effective from June 1, 2007, has not really been carried out.

Many local people still regard owning and driving a car as a kind of demonstration(炫耀) of their wealth, without realizing the traffic and environmental hazards it can cause. When the subway system can take people to their destinations, driving a private car in downtown Shanghai could become a moral issue.

45. The best title for the passage may be___________.

A. Efforts to Ease Crowding & Pollution

D. has strong public complaints about noise pollution

47. Guess the correct meaning of the underlined word “hazards”.

    A. sudden changes       B. violent forces    

C. public dislikes      D. dangerous results

48. The writer intends to tell us________ in the last two paragraphs. 

    A. though many plans have been carried out, the situation is hopeless

    B. difficult as the situation seems, Shanghai is sure to overcome it
