问题 How many times did Somali pirates successfully hijack vessels in 2009?

A maritime watchdog said the number of attacks off the coast of Somalia doubled in 2009 from 111 to 217. Pirates successfully hijacked 47 of those vessels and took 867 crew members hostage , earning them untold millions in ransom payments. Although the number of attacks was significantly higher, the number of successful hijackings was proportionately lower than the previous year.

选项 A、111.
B、217.
C、47.
D、147.

答案C

解析录音的开始提到一个海事管理机构(a maritime watchdog)说2009年索马里海岸的袭击数量加倍了从111上升到217。海盗成功劫持了其中的47艘船只和船上867名人员做人质(Pirates successfully hijacked 47 of those vessels and took 867 crew members hosrage…)，由此可见答案是C。
