阅读以下英文,完成下列题。
Every day, people throw away lots of rubbish. This causes serious environmental pollution.Where does all the rubbish go and what happens to it?
Most of rubbish goes into “landfills”. Though we do not know exactly where all these landfills are, they are close to where we live. People hardly believe that most of the cities in China are surrounded by rubbish. Putting this rubbish in landfills takes up too much space. So we have another way to get rid of rubbish—burning. But this pollutes the air around us. We find the third way—recycling.Today it has become more and more popular, because it is much better than the other two ways.
In fact, most of rubbish can be recycled and reused. For example, wooden chopsticks be reused to make paper; glass and plastic can be made into new bottles. However, the traditional ways are not enough to deal with the growing quantities of rubbish. We still have a long way to go.
The Chinese government has realized the importance of recycling rubbish. It has made some rules and laws to stop people from littering here and there. People are also encouraged to sort(分类) rubbish and throw it into different dustbins. We should always remember: sorting rubbish is a new fashion!
(1)The underlined word “landfills” in the text means“__________”.
A.垃圾 B.土地
C.土地填埋 D.垃圾填埋场

A.It takes up too much space.
B.It makes too much noise.
