Question

If you ask your parents: “Did you buy salt recently?” They might either say: “Yes, we bought more salt than usual”, or “No, we couldn’t find any in the market.”
This is because of the recent craze(狂熱) of salt buying in China. In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, salt almost sold out in only one night.
After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak(核泄漏). And rumors(傳言) about whether it will affect our daily life appeared: first, iodized(含碘的) salt can keep us from the dangers of radiation(輻射)；second, there will be less sea-salt in the ocean because of the nuclear pollution.
Both the government and experts said the rumors were not true, but people still bought as much salt as possible. Why? Many salt-buyers didn’t really care or know what experts or the government were saying. That was the real reason behind the craze of salt buying.
On March 20, the government said the salt market is back to normal. And most of China’s salt is from lakes, not the ocean.
Now, many people want to return the salt they bought. “There is no reason why those people should get their money back,” an article in Xinhua Daily Telegraph said. “They made the craze in the first place.”
Perhaps people should learn a lesson from the salt: don’t believe everything you hear.

試題分析：本文講述的是日本地震之后，引起的核泄漏，使中國(guó)人引起了恐慌。人們聽(tīng)信傳言，海水會(huì)被輻射，我們的食用鹽將有危害，于是瘋狂囤積食用鹽。一夜之間，幾乎所有的鹽都被賣光了。后來(lái)政府辟謠，我們吃的鹽都是來(lái)自湖里，而不是海里。主要告訴我們不要隨便輕信你所聽(tīng)到的。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak可知日本地震之后引起了核泄漏，人們擔(dān)心額輻射對(duì)海水的影響會(huì)關(guān)聯(lián)到食用鹽，所以引起了買鹽熱潮。故選B。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak可知三月11日日本發(fā)生地震，核泄露是在地震之后。故選B。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文And most of China’s salt is from lakes, not the ocean.可知中國(guó)的食鹽主要來(lái)自湖泊，而不是海洋。故選A。
小題4:判斷對(duì)錯(cuò)題。根據(jù)原文In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, salt almost sold out in only one night.可知所有的食鹽幾乎在一夜之間賣光了。故選C。
小題5:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文Perhaps people should learn a lesson from the salt: don’t believe everything you hear.可知我們不應(yīng)該隨便相信傳言。故選A。
