【解析】

这篇文章主要讲了带走城市的垃圾是一件巨大的工程，垃圾被放到远离城市之外，垃圾都是放在低地或大坑里面，在这些垃圾的上面可以种草或建造房屋。在垃圾中有一部分是金属可以回收利用，一些垃圾是可以成为其他植物的食物。

【1】根据上文Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job.可知下文是每天都有卡车进城来收。collect动词，收集，动词不定式表示目的，后加动词原形。根据题意，故选C。

【2】这里词句猜测题，根据上文The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces厨房垃圾被分解成小块，可知下文是送入污水系统，这里是sewage的意思是“排污”，故选A。

【3】Rubbish would be a mountain if we didn’t take it away意思是“如果我们不把垃圾带走，它将是座山。”文中第一段最后一句 If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.意思是“如果我们保留这些东西，很快就会有堆积如山的垃圾。”这两个句子是同义句，故填If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

【4】The fire burns everything. ③but the metal.意思是“火把一切都烧了，除了是金属。”but在这里的意思是“除了”相当于except，除了，排除在外的意思。根据题意，故填except。

【5】根据文中some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. 一些土被用来覆盖新倾倒的垃圾；Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. 可以在满是垃圾的土地上种草； Finally. a house or a school may be built there最后，一所房子或一所学校可能会建在那里。这里的正确顺序是A；C；B；故填1)A ;2); C3) B。

【6】根据文中Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole.可知，城市垃圾场通常放在地面较低或有大洞的地方。故填The city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole.。
