问题     Serenity(宁静)is difficult to find in today’ s fast-paced world. A moment of complete calm seems to be a rare and wonderful find. For me, those precious moments occur on a boat. As legendary sailor Vito Dumas once said: "It’ s out there at sea that you are really yourself. " On deck, enjoying awe-inspiring views, the cares of everyday life blown away on the sea breeze, you can appreciate his point.
    Flying is a misery. From airport chaos to the confined space of an aircraft, nothing about commercial aviation appeals to my sense of adventure—or comfort. Favouring boat travel isn’ t just about managing flight fear, though. Whether I’ m on a short ferry crossing or a cruise, the sea provides a true sense of travel, from the impressive physical shift of a ship leaving port to its navigation of the open water. " We are tied to the ocean," John F. Kennedy said. As my ship steers towards an exciting new destination, I feel that affinity.
    And I’ m not alone. "The journey is part of the holiday," says travel writer Helen Ochyra. "I’ 11 stand out on deck, whatever the weather, and watch the ropes being untied, the boat slipping away from the dock and the landscape drifting farther and farther away. "
    Tom Bourlet, founder of the Spaghetti Traveller blog, agrees: "On a plane, it’ s difficult to make out much more than grassland: on the ferry, there is something exciting about seeing land slowly getting closer. "
    For Cathy Winston, travel editor, it’ s about the sense of adventure. "Even on a fairly simple journey from A to B," she says, " wide wide, open sea makes it feel like you could be off to discover new lands. There’ s a certain romance you don’ t get on a plane or on a motorway. " Winston also values the family-friendly aspects of sea travel. "There’ s something so relaxing about being on the water, especially with kids," she says.
    Whether it’ s for kid-happy convenience or sheer romance, boats will always be the preferred mode of transport for many travellers. A boat gets me where I want to go, avoiding the rush—and terror—of air travel. And out on the waves, as reality melts away, I always rediscover my own passion for the sea.
According to Tom Bourlet, sea travel is better than air travel in that it______.
选项 A、enables people to engage in deeper thought
B、gives passengers a better chance to relax
C、provides a more comfortable environment
D、offers a clearer view of the landscape
答案D
解析 根据第四段可知，汤姆-布里特认为在飞机上很难看到草地，而在船上看着陆地慢慢靠近是一件令人兴奋的事情。因此，他认为坐船旅行比坐飞机旅行的好处是能使人更清晰地欣赏岸上的风景，故选D。
