　　 Passage One

　　 Water scooters are water vehicles that look very much like motorcycles.Nowadays,speedy,colorful water scooters are gaining in popularity.【第26題答案位置】They can travel anywhere a small boat can and are particularly popular with young people.The rising popularity of the craft has raised the question of water scooter regulation.In this case,the argument for strict regulation is compelling.Water scooters are a particularly deadly form of water recreation.For example,two women were vacationing in Longboat Key.While they were floating on the 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 water craft.Others have been stranded at the sea when the 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.【第27題答案位置】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 water scooters,they're proven to be an environmental nuisance.Beach residents complain of the noise of the scooters.【第28題答案位置】The Pacific Whale Foundation on the west coast expressed concern that the scooters are frightening away an endangered species of whale that migrates to Hawaii for breeding.Regulations such as minimal operating age,restricted operating areas and compulsory classes in water safety are essential.Without such regulations,tragedies involving water scooters are sure to multiply,which makes many beaches unsafe for recreation.【第29題答案位置】

　　 Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　 26.What does the speaker say about water scooters?

　　 27.What is mentioned as one of the causes of water accidents?

　　 28.In what way are water scooters said to be an environmental nuisance?

　　 29.What does the speaker propose to ensure the safety of beaches for recreation?

　　 譯文:

　　 水上摩托艇是一種看起來很像摩托車的水上交通工具。現(xiàn)今,速度快、色彩絢麗的水上摩托艇變得越來越流行。它們能夠航行到小船可以去的任何地方,并且在年輕人中尤其流行。這種船的日益流行引發(fā)了水上摩托艇的管理問題。在這種情況下,關于嚴格管理的論據很有說服力。水上摩托艇是一種特別致命的水上娛樂形式。比如,兩位女士到龍布嶼度假。當她們正坐著橡皮船沿海岸漂流時,一輛水上摩托艇撞上了她們,令二人喪命。而且,水上摩托艇駕駛員常因撞上其他水上船只而喪生或重傷。還有水上摩托艇的駕駛員由于摩托艇在遠離海岸的地方出故障或沉沒而被困在海中。很多水上摩托艇駕駛員都缺乏經驗并且對航行條例不甚了解,這使發(fā)生事故的潛在危險大大增加。水上摩托艇日益流行,更多的摩托艇在同一片水域爭奪空間,導致問題加劇。擁擠的水道更易出現(xiàn)災難。

　　 除了固有的駕駛危險外,水上摩托艇還被證明是一種危害環(huán)境的東西。岸邊的居民抱怨水上摩托艇的噪音。太平洋西海岸鯨魚基金會很擔心水上摩托艇會嚇跑前往夏威夷繁殖后代的一種瀕危鯨魚。包括最低駕駛年齡、劃定駕駛區(qū)及水上安全強制課程在內的規(guī)章制度都必不可少。沒有這些規(guī)章,水上摩托艇引發(fā)的悲劇必定會增加,這會導致很多海灘不再是安全的娛樂場所。

　　 解析:

　　 科普知識說明文。

　　 26.D事實細節(jié)題。首句群出題。文中提到Nowadays,speedy,colorful water scooters are gaining in popularity.可得答案為D,其中getting more popular為原文中gaining in popularity的同義替換。

　　 27.A事實細節(jié)題。隱性的因果關系定位。文中提到Many water scooter operators are inexperienced and ignorant of navigational rules,which increases the potential for accidents.由此可知水上摩托艇造成事故的原因之一是駕駛者沒有經驗及不了解航行規(guī)則。視聽基本一致,結合同義替換(inexperienced即lack of experience),可知答案為A。

　　 28.B事實細節(jié)題。文中提到In addition to the inherent operational hazards of water scooters,they're proven to be an environmental nuisance.Beach residents complain of the noise of the scooters.由此可知海邊居民抱怨摩托艇的噪聲,答案為B。

　　 29.D推斷歸納題。尾句群出題。文中提到Regulations such as minimal operating age,restricted operating areas and compulsory classes in water safety are essential.Without such regulations,tragedies involving water scooters are sure to multiply,which makes many beaches unsafe for recreation.由此可知說話人強調了regulations的重要性,這也正是說話人對解決水上摩托艇問題所做的建議,故答案為D。
