【解析】

本文主要讲述如今垃圾很多，我们可以充分利用它们。作者想象用垃圾建立城市，虽然这只是一个梦想，但是在未来会实现。

1.

句意：你可能会认为这是难以置信的。

important重要的；unbelievable难以置信的；understanding可理解的；possible可能的。根据下文中“However, it can be true! Nothing is a waste if we have a creative mind.”可知，你可能会认为这是难以置信的，但如果我们有创造力，没有什么会是垃圾。故选B。

2.

句意：让我向你展示一些关于再次使用垃圾的事情。

returning返回；reflecting反应；reusing再次使用；repeating重复。根据下文中“but in fact, some rubbish can be used again”可知，一些垃圾可以再次被使用，所以此处展示的是关于再次使用垃圾的事情。故选C。

3.

句意：许多大城市因为它而变得如此丑陋。

because因为，后接句子；because of因为，由于，后接短语；instead of而不是；as for至于。根据上文中“Sometimes we can see tons of rubbish in the streets, on the roads, near the buildings … here and there.”可知，有时我们可以在街道上、道路上、建筑物附近看到成吨的垃圾，许多城市因此而变得丑陋，句中it是代词，代指上文中提到的情况，不是一个完整的句子，所以用because of。故选B。

4.

句意：我们必须做一些事情去利用垃圾。

make use of使用，利用；make promises作出承诺；make up our mind to下定决心去；make a living as以……为生。根据上文中“All of us want to solve the problem.”可知，我们都想解决垃圾的问题，所以我们我们必须做一些事情去利用垃圾。故选A。

5.

句意：这样，一些好的东西就不会被浪费了。

On the way在路上；By the way顺便说一下；In this way这样，用这种方法；Out of the way让路。根据上文中“We should take action from now on.”可知，我们应该从现在开始行动，这样，一些好的东西就不会被浪费了。故选C。

6.

句意：当一个瓶子是空的，它会被当作废弃物扔掉。

threw away扔掉；will be thrown away将被扔掉；will throw away将扔掉；was thrown away被扔掉。句中bottle与throw away之间是逻辑上的被动关系，应使用被动语态，结构为be bone所以排除A和C；D项中was是is的过去式，与原句时态不符，故排除，所以此处使用will be thrown away将被扔掉。故选B。

7.

句意：来自食物中的垃圾可以变成肥料，使植物生长得更好。

from来自；in在……里；on在……上；to到……。根据句中food可知，此处是Rubbish from food，表示“来自食物中的垃圾”。故选A。

8.

句意：现在，越来越多的机器都是为此而设计的。

fewer and fewer越来越少，用于可数名词复数形式；less and less越来越少，用于不可数名词；more and less或多或少；more and more越来越多。根据上文中“Rubbish from food can be changed into fertilizer(肥料) to make plants grow better. It is cheap and safe. And other rubbish can also be used to make building blocks.”可知，垃圾可以被改变成肥料或者建筑材料，所以此处是“越来越多的机器都是为了转化垃圾设计的”。故选D。

9.

句意：将来有一天，人们将会在用垃圾建成的美丽电影院里看电影。

Some day将来有一天；The other day不久前某一天；Nowadays现今；In the day在白天。根据句中will可知，此处时态为一般将来时，所以此处使用some day，表示“将来的某一天”。故选A。

10.

句意：但到目前为止，用垃圾建造美丽的城市只是一个梦想。

a dream一个梦想；a lesson一节课；a symbol一个象征；a letter一封信。根据句中“But so far”可知，将来的城市、道路可以用垃圾来建造，但是现在，用垃圾建造美丽的城市还没有实现，只是一个梦想。故选A。
