问题     Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial architectures for the recycling of waste.  The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.
    The latest project is to take a city of around half a million residents and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.
    Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is completed, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken.  Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁), which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.
    The first full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away.  Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
选项 A、There will be no rubbish after the plants have been built.
B、Recycling plants will be in great need in some big cities.
C、The plants can only process paper and rubber but not steel or copper.
D、We don’ t have a very good way of sorting and separating the rubbish.
答案C
解析 细节题。对四个选项分别进行定位。根据第二段最后一句“This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel，lead and copper，but also paper and rubber as well．”可判断选项 C有误，故答案为C。
