Waterscooters are water vehicles that look very much like motorcycles. Nowadays speedy colorful waterscooters are gaining in popularity. They can travel anywhere a small boat can and are typically popular with young people. The rising popularity of the craft has raised a question of water scooter regulation.
In this case, the argument for strict regulation is compelling. Waterscooters are a particularly deadly form of water recreation. For example, two women were vacationing in Longboat Key. While they were floating on a rubber boat along the shore, a water scooter crashed into them and killed them.
Also, water scooter operators have been killed or seriously injured in collisions with other watercraft. Others have been stranded at sea when their scooters either failed or sank far from shore. Many water scooter operators are inexperienced and ignorant of navigational rules, which increases the potential for accidents. The increasing popularity of the scooter has aggravated the problem, providing more water vehicles to compete for the same space. Crowded water ways are simply an open invitation to disaster.
In addition to the inherent operational hazards of waterscooters, they are proving to be an environmental nuisance. Beach residents complain of the noise of the scooters. The Pacific Whale Foundation on the west coast expressed concern that the scooters are frightening a-way an endangered species of whale that migrates to Hawaii for breeding. Regulations, such as minimum operating age, restricted Operating areas, and compulsory classes in water safety, are essential. Without such regulations, tragedies involving waterscooters are sure to multiply, which makes many beaches unsafe for recreation.
选项
A、They are motorcycles designated for water sports.
B、They are speedy boats restricted in narrow waterways.
C、They are becoming an efficient form of water transportation.
D、They are getting more popular as a means of water recreation.
答案
D
解析
What does the speaker say about waterscooters?
四个选项都是陈述的某一种交通工具的优点,而且提到了water sports,waterways,water transportation和water recreation等与水有关的词语,因此推测本题提问某一水上运动的优点。文章开头对waterscooters(水上滑板车)进行了介绍,提到它正在gain in popularity,接着提到这项运动是a particularly deadly form of water recreation。结合起来可知,水上滑板车是一项深受欢迎却又充满刺激的水上娱乐方式。所以D)为本题的正确答案。
