Two US Marine helicopters have bumped near the Hawaiian island of Oahu, each with six people on board. The crash occurred during a night-time training mission late on Thursday but it is unclear why.
   Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Sara Mooers said wrecks were seen in the ocean. Marine Capt Timothy Irish told the Associated Press news agency that a search and rescue was under way for the two CH-53 transport helicopters. The aircraft were from the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing from Marine Corps Base Hawaii, he said.
   Ms Mooers told Los Angeles radio station KNX-AM that the search would be tough because of darkness and a high surf advisory. Less than a year ago, a Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey crashed during a training exercise, killing two Marines.
1. What do we learn about the accident from the news report?
2. Why was the search difficult according to Ms Mooers?
选项 A、Two US passenger planes have crashed.
B、The accident occurred in an unknown island.
C、There were six people in two helicopters.
D、The accident occurred on Thursday night
答案 D
解析 新闻开头说到两架美国海军陆战队直升机相撞，此事故发生在周四晚上。故D正确。发生事故的飞机是两架美国海军直升机，而不是客机(passenger planes)，故A错误。事故发生在夏威夷的欧胡岛，故B也不对。两架飞机各有6人，共12人，故C错误。
