[5]A tour boat turned over off the coast of Nicaragua, killing at least 13 people and leaving more passengers missing, officials said.
    [6]The boat was carrying 32 people—25 Costa Ricans, four Americans and three Nicaraguans. The 13 dead were all Costa Rican, the foreign ministry said. The boat, traveling between Nicaragua’s Big Com Island and Little Corn Island, turned over Saturday near the larger island.
    Some passengers remain missing, the Costa Rican foreign ministry said, but did not specify how many. A local radio said an unspecified number of people were rescued, including the tour boat’s owner, Hilario Blandon.
    [5]Nicaraguan naval authorities had banned sea travel in the area because of bad weather and strong winds, but the tour boat proceeded anyway. Blandon, the boat’s owner, has been arrested by Nicaraguan authorities, the state-run news agency said. [7]Both he and a crew member, are being investigated for unintentional murder and exposing people to danger, according to police.
5. What happened to the tour boat sailing off the Nicaraguan coast?
6. How many people was the boat carrying?
7. What do we know about the owner of the boat?

选项 A、It sank into the sea due to overloading.
B、It ran into Nicaragua’s Big Corn Island.
C、It turned over because of strong winds.
D、It disappeared between two large islands.

答案 C

解析 题目问的是一艘在尼加拉瓜海岸附近航行的船发生了什么。录音开头提到,一艘游船在尼加拉瓜海岸附近翻船了,在录音中后段提到,由于恶劣天气和强风,海军部门已经严禁船只航行,但该船仍继续航行,故此可得出答案C“由于强风船翻了”。
