Passage 13
(10•四川D篇)
Somali pirates(海盜) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly l,200 Miles off the Somali coast,the farthest-off-shore attack to date,an officer said Tuesday.
Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡邏)by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force,said a spokesman.
The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”.
“Once they start attacking that far out,you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,” said an officer,Roger Middleton.“Once you’re that far out,it's just the Indian Ocean,and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia,from Asia to South Africa.”
"This is the farthest robbing to date.They are now operating near the Maldives and India,” said another officer.
The three ships--the MV Prantalay 11,12,and l 4—had 77 members on board in total.All of them are Thai, the spokesman said.Before the Sunday robbing,pirates held l l ships and 228 sailors.
Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes。f catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships,the success rate(率)has gone down,though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.

語(yǔ)篇分析:本篇文章為新聞報(bào)道類(lèi)文體。報(bào)道索馬里海盜周日搶劫三艘泰國(guó)漁船,并引用部分官員的話(huà),讓讀者了解當(dāng)前的索馬里海盜的形勢(shì)。
53.答案:A
考點(diǎn):細(xì)節(jié)理解
解析:由 “The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force…”以及 “Once you’re that far out,it's just the Indian Ocean”句意為“這次海盜襲擊發(fā)生在國(guó)際保衛(wèi)隊(duì)正常保護(hù)區(qū)域六百英里外”,“一旦你到了那么遠(yuǎn),那就是印度洋了”可得出答案。
54.答案:B
考點(diǎn): 主旨大意
解析:文章主要報(bào)道發(fā)生在周末的對(duì)泰國(guó)漁船的襲擊,就此事引出索馬里海盜的襲擊已經(jīng)超越國(guó)際保護(hù)隊(duì)的正常護(hù)衛(wèi)范圍,而進(jìn)入更深的海域。
55. 答案:B
考點(diǎn):細(xì)節(jié)理解
解析:依據(jù)… patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”及 “Once you’re that far out,it's just the Indian Ocean,and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia,from Asia to South Africa.”可知巡邏明顯見(jiàn)效,又有一旦再超過(guò)那么遠(yuǎn),那就是印度洋,那就意味著你在看管從波斯灣到亞洲,從亞洲到南美洲的所有行線(xiàn)?芍獞(yīng)是巡邏難度加大了。
56.答案D考點(diǎn):推理計(jì)算題。
解析:由文章首句Somali pirates robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board……及Before the Sunday robbing, pirates held 11 ships and 228 sailors.可知到發(fā)報(bào)到為止,索馬里海盜應(yīng)劫持水手77+228=305人。
