高高 一一 英英 语语Module 3 Unit 1Reading-1FogFogWhats the weather like in these pictures?London the city of fogHow does the fog come into being?London used to be famous for its heavy fog. This was because people in London burned coal which gave out heavy smoke, a type of pollution that is actually called smog. In1873, a coal-smoke smog, thicker and more persistent (持久持久) than natural fog, covered the city for days and caused 168 deaths. Another fog in 1879 lasted from November to March and caused four long months of darkness without sunshine.In 1952,a four-day fog killed about 4000 Londoners. It was not until then that some measures were taken to stop the heavy fog. In1956, Parliament (议会议会) made the Clean ACT, which effectively reduced the burning of coal. It was the beginning of series of air-pollution reforms in England. Now the air in London is quite clean-though the city is still sometimes covered in a clean, ordinary fog.How do you feel on a foggy day?What would you do if you lost in the fog?What sense or senses can we use on a foggy day? ask for helpblindaccidentfearWhat can you think of when the word “fog” is mentioned?fogget lostdangerconfuseReading strategy (P3)There are different types of stories.
