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． According to the passage,using garbage is______
A、for heating in France each year
B、a new way in a modern society
C、a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage
D、too expensive as an energy source
【正确答案】：C
【题目解析】：根据文章内容，我们可以进行以下分析： 首先，文章开头提出了两个问题：如何处理垃圾？我们是否有足够的能源来满足未来的能源需求？文章随后指出，有人建议将垃圾作为能源来源，这样既可以解决能源问题，又可以节省用于存放垃圾的土地。 接下来，文章详细描述了垃圾作为能源的可行性。它提到，虽然垃圾的外观与煤炭、石油或天然气不同，但它们在化学成分上与这些化石燃料相似。随着化石燃料的逐渐消耗，我们可能能够使用垃圾作为能源来源。 文章还提到，燃烧垃圾并不是一个新想法，一些欧洲和美国的城市已经燃烧垃圾多年。这种燃烧垃圾产生的热量被用来烧水，产生的蒸汽则被用来发电或为附近的建筑供暖。 最后，文章总结说，我们的化石燃料供应是有限的，燃烧垃圾可能是我们用来满足能源需求的一种能源来源。这种方法还可以减少地球上堆积的垃圾数量。 现在，我们来看选项： A. for heating in France each year（每年在法国用于供暖）：这只是文章中的一个例子，并不是文章的主要观点。 B. a new way in a modern society（现代社会的一种新方法）：文章提到燃烧垃圾并不是一个新想法，因此这个选项不正确。 C. a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage（解决能源短缺问题的好方法）：这与文章的主要观点相符，即使用垃圾作为能源来源可以同时解决能源和垃圾问题。 D. too expensive as an energy source（作为能源来源太贵）：文章中没有提到使用垃圾作为能源来源是昂贵的。 因此，正确答案是C，即使用垃圾是解决能源短缺问题的好方法。
