Question

Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.

To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.

In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.

試題分析：這篇短文說的是我們的生活中會產(chǎn)生很多的垃圾，要把這些垃圾運走并處理掉是一個很大的工程。這篇短文告訴了我們一些處理垃圾的辦法，如運動垃圾場，或是焚燒等。

【解析】

1.主旨大意題。這個題目問的是可能會在哪里看到這樣的一篇文章，從文章的大意來看，這篇短文主要是告訴了我們垃圾的一些處理方式，故這樣的文章應(yīng)該是在科學(xué)類的書籍上可以看到，而不是什么電視導(dǎo)播、歷史書或是電話號碼薄里。故選A。

2.詞義猜測題。這個單詞的所在句是The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.，意為：廚房的垃圾被打成碎片，送入排污系統(tǒng)。排污系統(tǒng)可以帶走廁所、浴室或其它地方的污水。由這句話的句意我們可以猜測sewage的意思應(yīng)為排污。故選A。

3.主旨大意題。本題問的是這篇短文的中心意思，縱觀全文我們可知，這篇短文主要告訴了我們垃圾的一些處理方式，故應(yīng)選C。

4.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal可知，火可以燒掉除金屬之外的所有東西。有時候金屬可以在工廠里被重新利用。故對于金屬我們是可以再回收利用的。故選D。

5.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的最后一段The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow的內(nèi)容可知，食物類的垃圾可以變成腐殖土，這種東西富含植物生長所需的東西，可以幫助植物生長，故選B。
