问题 According to the speaker, how many pounds of the beef products were recalled on Tuesday?
  
More than 5 million more pounds of raw beef products have been added to a national recall over concerns about possible salmonella contamination, and the number of people sickened has soared to 246 patients in 26 states, federal officials said Tuesday.
   The initial recall announced by the U. S. Food Safety and Inspection Service in early October included 6. 5 million pounds of raw beef products. The addition Tuesday brings the total recalled amount to 12, 093, 271 pounds, and authorities say they’re concerned it could be in consumers’ freezers.
   The number of those sickened has increased drastically in recent weeks. Initially it was around 60 people in 16 states. Tuesday’s recall marks a more than four-fold increase in the number of cases in two months; nearly 60 people have been hospitalized as a result of the current outbreak.
   The affected products were produced and packaged at an Arizona facility owned by JBS Tolleson from July 26 through Sep. 7 and shipped to retailers nationwide under many brand names. Those included in the recall are Cedar River Farms Natural Beef, Comnor Perfect Choice, Gourmet Burger, Grass Run Farms Natural Beef, JBS Generic, Showcase and Showcase/Walmart. See a list of the specific products being recalled here.
   The recall notice didn’t provide a list of states where people were sickened. But, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention case map updated as of Nov. 15, at least 66 cases of people infected with the outbreak have been reported in California, 13 in Texas, 42 in Arizona and several states, including Connecticut, Illinois and Massachusetts, have each reported one case. No known cases have been reported in New York or New Jersey.
   Anyone with questions about the recall can contact JBS’ consumer hotline at 1-800-727-2333. Salmonella can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within three days of eating the contaminated product, and the illness can last up to seven days. While most people recover, people with weakened immune systems are more likely to need to be hospitalized.

选项 A、Salmonella can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within three days.
B、Salmonella can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within seven days.
C、Salmonella can weaken the immune system.
D、Salmonella can just cause fever within three days.

答案A

解析 特定信息的找寻和判断。根据题干可以定位到原文“Salmonella can cause diarrhea,abdominal cramps and fever within three days of eating the contaminated product”,意思是“沙门氏菌会引起腹泻,进食受污染产品三天后会出现腹部绞痛以及发烧”,由此可知A选项符合文章内容,为正确选项。B选项“7天”与原文不符,为错误选项;C选项文章没有提到,属于无中生有,为错误选项;D选项只提到“fever”,不全面,为错误选项。
