Passage Four
How can we get rid of garbage?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 same time it can save the land to hold garbage.
For a long time,people buried garbage or dumped 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 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 almost 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 if garbage piling up on the earth.

A、Delighte
B、Sad
C、Agree in
D、Disagree in
【正确答案】:C
【题目解析】:在文章中,作者提出了一个观点,即我们可以通过将垃圾用作能源来同时解决能源需求问题和垃圾处理问题。作者列举了使用垃圾作为能源的多个优点,如可以节约土地用于存放垃圾,并且垃圾在化学上与化石燃料相似,因此可以作为能源使用。此外,作者还提到了欧洲和美国的一些城市已经多年使用垃圾焚烧来产生电力或热能。最后,作者总结说,由于我们的化石燃料供应是有限的,燃烧垃圾可能是我们可以用来满足能源需求的一种能源形式,这种方法还可以减少垃圾在地球上堆积的数量。
从这些描述可以看出,作者对使用垃圾作为能源这一观点是持支持态度的。因此,正确答案是C,即“Agree in”(同意)。其他选项如A(高兴)、B(悲伤)和D(不同意)都与文章中的作者态度不符。
