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 scare whales to death.
B、They produce too much noise.
C、They discharge toxic emissions.
D、They endanger lots of water life.
答案
B
解析
In what way are waterscooters said to be an environmental nuisance?
四个选项中提到了scare whales to death,noise,toxic emissions和endanger lots of water life等与环境污染有关的词汇和短语,因此推测本题和环保方面的话题有关。文章中在提到水上滑板车是一种environmental nuisance之后,接着进行了解释:Beach residents complain of the noise of the scooters(海滩上的居民埋怨其产生的噪声),随后又提到the scooters are frightening away an endangered species of whale that migrates to Hawaii for breeding(噪音甚至吓跑一种前往夏威夷繁殖后代的濒临灭绝的鲸鱼)。由此可见,水上滑板车对于环境的影响主要在于其产生的噪音,所以B)为正确答案。
