问题 The Russian cargo ship was sinking. What was the direct cause? [br]  
A Russian cargo ship with about 30 crew members aboard was in danger of sinking off Russia’s eastern coast while stormy weather interfered with rescue efforts, state-run Itar-Tass news agency said Friday. Ice had formed on the outside of the ship, and the crew was chipping it off. The crew sent out a distress signal, but there was no explanation of the problem23. Because of the severe weather, aircraft can’t be used to rescue the crew. According to Itar-Tass, the vessel is about 90 miles from an oil rig where rescue vessels are based, while a tugboat dispatched from land was still about four times farther away24. The cargo ship had been en route to a fishing area when it experienced problems, the news agency reported. The ship hauls fish from boats to ports.
选项 A、Aircraft.
B、Tugboat.
C、Nearby cargo ship.
D、Vessels at the oil rig.
答案 C
解析 推理题。此题所需信息较多。由“Because of the severe weather，aircraft can’t be used to rescue the crew．According to Itar—Tass，the vessel is about 90 miles from an oil rig where rescue vessels are based，while a tugboat dispatched from land was still about four times farther away．”可知天气恶劣，飞机无法用来营救船员，营救船只在90海里以外的石油架，派去营救的拖拉船还在360海里以外。
