【解析】

试题分析：短文叙述了由于许多人都有了车，引起了环境的污染，空气质量的下降，世界各地的城市纷纷采取了把市中心划分为无车区，实行无车通行的方式，市区的空气干净了。

1.traffic前文提到很多人都有车，污染也因此而生，这里和车有关的词是traffic.

2.areas这里的areas来代指前文中的“these car free zones”。

3.live有八百万的人生活在伦敦市中心。短语live in住在……里。

4.noisy 根据with hundreds of cars, buses, and taxis可知有：上百辆的车很容易联想到会产生噪音，因此用noisy。

5.also根据前后文的意思：前面说车多吵，后面说公园也有免费的音乐会，根据逻辑关系判断应该用“also”。

6.after根据句子意思和一般的生活常识，很多人午饭时间，人们下班后会到公园里休息一下可以判断使用“after”。

7.really首先根据句子意思无车区真的流行了起来锁定使用real这个词，后面的popular是形容词，前面修饰时一般要使用副词，因此答案是really。

8.were 考查There be句型的时态，根据In the past可以判断这里要用到一般过去时。

9.clean根据Now the downtown area is car-free zone可知，无车区当然空气是干净的。

10.to work许多人没有车还有50万人乘坐公交可以判断，这里使用work最合适，动词使用的是take，take something to do something使用什么干什么。所以这里使用”to work“。

考点：短文填空。
