How can we get rid of garbage (垃圾) ? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our
future energy needs?
These are two important questions that many people are asking today．Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time．They suggest using garbage as an energy source,and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage． "
For a long time,people buried garbage or dumped(倾倒)it on empty land．Now,empty land is scarce．But more and more garbage is produced each year．However,garbage can be a good fuel to use．The things in garbage do not look like coal,petroleum,or natural gas but they are chemically similar to these fossil(化石)fuels．As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies,we might be able to use garbage as an energy source,Burning garbage is not a new idea．Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years．The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water．The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings．In Paris,France,some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year．The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning al-most a half million barrels of oil．
Our fossil fuel supplies are limited．Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs．This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth．
What two problems can ．man solve by burning garbage?
A．The shortage of energy and air pollution．
B．The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage．
C．Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel．
D．Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage．
我们该如何处理垃圾?我们是否有足够的能量来源来满足我们未来的能源需求?
这是现在大家有疑问的两个重要问题。有人认为人类可以同时解决这两个问题。他们建议把垃圾作为能量来源，这样同时也可以省掉用来堆放垃圾的场地。
长期起来，人们都是把垃圾倾倒或者埋在空地上。现在空地很稀少，但是每年产生的垃圾却是越来越多。然而，垃圾可以作为一种很好的燃料来使用。垃圾中的物质看起来并不像煤、石油或者是天然气那样，但是从化学角度来讲他们与化石燃料是相似的。当我们把化石燃料用尽的时候，我们也可以把垃圾作为能量来源。
燃烧垃圾并不是什么新鲜的想法。在欧洲和美国，有些城市几年以来都在燃烧垃圾，将所产生的热量用来烧水，所产生的蒸汽用来发电或者是给附近的大楼供暖。在法国巴黎，有些发电厂每年要燃烧掉两百万公吨的城市垃圾。所产生的能量相当于燃烧差不多50万桶石油所产生的能量。
化石燃料供应是有限的。燃烧垃圾可能是一种帮助我们满足能量需求的能量来源。这种方法同样能够减少地面上所堆积的垃圾量。
【答案详解】
细节判断题。答案在文章的第一段和第二段，Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time．They suggest using garbage as an an-ergy source，and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage，即可以同时解决能源问题和存放垃圾的空地的问题。
