【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，對倫敦這一世界大都市進行了簡單介紹。

【1】題意：單詞“population”的中文意思是什么？

詞句猜測題。根據原文“London has a population of about 7000000. From about 1800 until World War Ⅱ”可知，1800年到二戰(zhàn)時期，倫敦有七百萬人口。故population意為“人口”，故選B。

【2】題意：位于倫敦的Big Ben是什么？

細節(jié)理解題。根據原文“Tourists come from all over the world to visit its famous buildings and hear the famous clock, Big Ben”可知，Big Ben是一座鐘。C選項It’s a famous clock“它是一座著名的鐘”符合題意，故選C。

【3】題意：每天有多少人使用倫敦地鐵？

細節(jié)理解題。根據原文“Over 1000000 people a day use the London underground”可知，每天有超過一百萬人使用地鐵。B選項More than 1,000,000“超過一百萬”符合題意，故選B。

【4】題意：一百年前倫敦的空氣怎么樣？

推理判斷題。根據原文“The air isn’t clean, but it is cleaner than it was 100 years ago”可知，空氣不干凈，但比起100年前算干凈了，由此可推100年前倫敦的空氣比現(xiàn)在要差。D選項It was dirtier than it is now“比現(xiàn)在更臟”符合題意，故選D。
