答案与解析:
1. With industries and business developing quickly

句中的短语widen our knowledge意思是 扩大我们的眼界 ,make one open-minded是同义复指,它们表示相同的意思却在英语里使用不同的表达,以避免用词重复。这是英语行文的一个技巧,考生在翻译时应尽量避免 wordiness,这个技巧在写六级作文时也值得借鉴。本句还可以译成:expand our vision或extend our sight.
3. which has seriously polluted the environment
这已经对环境造成了严重的污染 中的 这 显然是指前半句提到的the smog in cities,这里需要的是一个非限制性定语从句,补充说明城市烟雾对环境的影响。本句还可以译成:which has brought serious pollution to the environment。
