Air pollution is commonly known as smog in some cities. The dark London smog was described by British writer Evelyn as early as 1661. Smog developed into a major health hazard by the 20th century. In 1948, 19 people died and thousands were sickened by smog in the small US steel-mill town of Donora, Pennsylvania. In 1952, 2,000 Londoners died of its effects. A second type of smog began reducing air quality over large cities like Los Angeles in the 1930’s. This smog is caused by combustion in air, truck and airplane engines.
Eventually most pollutants are washed out of the air by rain, snow, fog, or mist, but only after traveling large distances, sometimes across continents. As pollutants build up in the atmospheres, sulfur and nitrogen oxides（氧化硫和氧化氮）are converted into acids that mix with rain. This acid rain falls in lakes and on forests. It can lead to the death of fish and plants, and damage the environment. Eventually the lakes and forests may become lifeless.
31. When did Evelyn write about the smog in London?
A. in 1948
B. in 1952
C. in 1661
D. in 1930
32. When did smog become a serious health problem?
A. By the 20th century.
B. In the 19th century
C. In the 1930’s
D. In the 1950’s
33. Why did a lot of Londoners die in the 1950’s?
A. They died of the effects of smog.
B. They died of truck accidents.
C. They died of deadly diseases.
D. They died for unknown reasons.
34. How many places are mentioned in this passage?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
