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.

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.

选项
答案
D
解析
[语法判断]空格位于how引导的宾语从句中,从句的主语是the electricity,不定式短语to run them作后置定语修饰the electricity。空格前是系动词is,how“如何”在从句中作方式状语,从句主语the electricity是物,推断空格处应填入动词过去分词形式和is一起构成被动语态。[语义判断]空格前面提到,电动汽车造成排放的水平取决于它们运行所需要的电力如何______。备选项中只有D)generated“产生电等能量”符合以上要求,故为答案。
