這篇短文先講述了一個(gè)小故事，國王的女兒說她愛她的父親就像她愛鹽一樣，由這個(gè)故事入手，作者給我們介紹了鹽雖然是一個(gè)很簡單、普遍的東西，但在我們的生活中卻是非常重要的。

【1】句意：鹽是一個(gè)很簡單的東西，它很常見。根據(jù)上文文意可知，國王的女兒說她愛父親就像她愛鹽一樣。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，鹽是一個(gè)很簡單的東西，故這里填simple，選C。

【2】句意：在歷史上鹽導(dǎo)致了戰(zhàn)爭和革命。根據(jù)句意和空后的the history可知，這里應(yīng)用throughout貫穿，遍及，是一個(gè)介詞。故選E。

【3】句意：如果我們沒有足夠的鹽，我們的肌肉、神經(jīng)和器官就不能正常的工作。根據(jù)句意可知，這里應(yīng)用properly適當(dāng)?shù)�，正確地，是一個(gè)副詞，修飾句中的動(dòng)詞function。故選A。

【4】句意：像塑料、紙張、玻璃、橡膠和肥皂等產(chǎn)品都依靠鹽。根據(jù)上句話We also use salt to produce other products.可知，我們需要鹽來生產(chǎn)其他的產(chǎn)品，因此這里應(yīng)用短語depend on，意為“依靠，依賴”，故選D。
