Question

11．Areas of Tokyo which had usually been packed with office workers like sushi（壽司） restaurants and noodle shops were unusually quiet．Many schools were closed．Companies allowed workers to stay home．Long queues formed at airports．
As Japanese authorities struggled to avoid disaster at an earthquake-battered nuclear plant 240 km to the north，parts of Tokyo resembled a ghost town．Many people stocked up on food and stayed indoors or simply left．transforming one of the world's biggest and most populated cities into a shell of its usual self．
"Look，it's like Sunday-no cars in town，"said Kazushi Arisawa，a 62-year-old taxi driver，as he waited for more than an hour outside an office tower where he usually finds customers within minutes．"I can't make money today．"
Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible， briefly touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday，smaller than a dental X-ray．On Wednesday，winds over the Fukushima （福島） nuclear-power plant blew out to sea，keeping levels close to normal．But that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40-year-old nuclear plant with three reactors in partial meltdown （熔毀）and a fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami．
"Radiation moves faster than we do，"said Steven Swanson，a 43-year-old American who moved to Tokyo in December with his Japanese wife to help with her family business．He is staying indoor but is tempted to leave．"It's scary．It's a triple threat with the earthquake，tsunami and the nuclear radiation leaks．It makes you wonder what's next．"

A．the earthquake that happened in March

Answer 1

分析 文章主要描述了核泄漏對東京社會造成的影響

解答 56．C 主旨題．文章主要描述了核泄漏對東京社會造成的影響，C項符合文意，所以C項正確．A項，文章不是講地震，而是核泄漏，所以A項錯誤．B項，文章沒有具體介紹政府部門的措施，所以B項錯誤．D項，文章沒有介紹核電站，所以D項錯誤．故正確答案為C．
57：D  由第三段內(nèi)容可知，出租車司機 Kazushi Arisawa 在辦公樓外等了一個多小時，他說他今天掙不到錢，由此可推斷他沒有拉到客人，故正確答案為D．
58：B 由劃線詞所在句"Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible，briefly touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday，smaller than a dental X-ray．"可知，輻射量在星期二達到了正常水平的三倍，這比牙科用的X光還弱，所以核輻射并不嚴重，B項"輕微的，少量的"符合文意，故正確答案為B．
59．C 細節(jié)題．由倒數(shù)第二段最后一句"But that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40-year-old nuclear plant with three reactors in partial meltdown（熔毀） and a fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami．"可知福島核電站在地震中損壞，故正確答案為C．
60：A 細節(jié)題．由最后一段第一句"…Steven Swanson，a 43-year-old American who moved to Tokyo in December with his Japanese wife…"可知正確答案為A．
