题组3　环境保护 专题一　阅读理解　第三节　题组训练 A (2017·第二次全国大联考) It seemed that what I have feared in the past has become true eventually.In the last 19 years I have taken American students to many Chinese cities.The air pollution in Beijing and other big cities we visited have been simply shocking.Every time when my students commented about the air quality in China and how they missed the blue skies in the US my heart hurts. In fact，I did not expect that Chinese government or the Chinese people would have accepted my advice in 1994 when I first raised that question，or in 1997 when I published the article in China and the world.I understood the potential harms of cars to human health because I saw and lived through it in the US. In 2006，one of the readers who read my article online commented with anger that someone actually warned about the potential problems of the uncontrolled spread of private cars，and nothing happened. For the majority of Chinese people who did not have cars，and who were admiring the wonders and comfort cars bringing to life，the temptation of cars was irresistible at the time.I had a young Chinese friend when I was studying in Boston.He bought a car before he learned how to drive.He started to drive the first night he got the car before he had a driver license.The police caught him driving his car around 2：00 in the morning in the neighborhood.The police decided to let him go because he told the police that he came from China，and that it had been his dream to own and drive a car.Now he had a car，and he simply could not sleep anymore.He was too eager to drive his car. Now the Chinese government and Chinese people see with their own eyes what harms the uncontrolled ownership of car can do to their cities and their health.I hope that the Chinese people and Chinese government would be able to take some drastic measures to deal with this air pollution problems which threaten their own health now. 语篇解读　本文作者讲到了中国现在极差的空气质量正是他之前所预料的，委婉地指出了过去中国政府对大气污染不够重视，政策和措施不到位。面对当前的雾霾天
