3、简短表述你对这一事件的看法．
参考词汇：iodized salt碘盐；panic buying抢购；rumour谣言
       ．

Answer 1

分析 这是一篇分析事件的议论文．根据题目要求可知从第一人称的角度论述，时态以一般过去时态为主．内容主要包括：一描述有关地震和人们抢购食盐的情况；二分析抢购的原因；三自己对这一事件的看法．
高分句型：
1．Not long ago，a major earthquake hit Japan，which not only led to the explosion in a nuclear power plant，but also a wave of buying salt in China．句子里which引导非限制性定语从句，代指地震这件事；not only…but also表示"不但…而且"．
前不久的日本大地震不但导致核电厂爆炸，而且还在中国掀起了一场人们抢购食盐的浪潮．
2．One reason is that many people believed rumors that iodized salt could prevent the hurt of radiation．句子里第一个that引导的是表语从句；第二个that是 rumors 的同位语从句，表示rumors的内容．
其中的一个原因是人们相信谣言所说，碘盐能组织核辐射的伤害．

解答 No Need for Panic Buying
       Not long ago，a major earthquake hit Japan，which not only led to the explosion in a nuclear power plant，but also a wave of buying salt in China．【高分句型一】（描述有关地震和人们抢购食盐的情况）
       Why did people rush to buy salt？One reason is that many people believed rumors that iodized salt could prevent the hurt of radiation．【高分句型二】As a result，they rushed to buy salt．Other people worried about an increase of price so they followed．Another reason is the lack of common sense among the public．（分析抢购的原因）As we know，it is not helpful enough to guard against radiation even by taking larger amounts of salt than usual．So in my opinion，panic buying of salt is absolutely unnecessary．（自己对这一事件的看法）

点评 考查提纲类作文．
同位语从句指的是在复合句中充当同位语的从句，属于名词性从句的范畴，同位语从句用来对其前面的抽象名词进行解释说明，被解释说明的词和同位语在逻辑上是主表关系．
