问题 Which of the following statements about the Italian cargo ship is CORRECT?
  
News Item 3
    British and American naval forces have taken control of an Italian cargo ship hijacked by Somali pirates, and freed all 23 crew members. The ship was hijacked on Monday in the Indian Ocean, almost 1, 000km off the Somali coast.
    The cargo ship, the Montecristo, with a crew of seven Italians, 10 Ukrainians and six Indian nationals, was seized as piracy in the waters off Somalia was expected to see a new upsurge with the ending of the monsoon. Latest reports say 11 pirates were involved. The Ministry of Defense in London says the Fort Victoria and a US warship went to the aid of the hijacked cargo ship. As the British and American vessels approached, the pirates surrendered, and a Royal Navy party then carried out what’s known as a compliant boarding—meaning they met no resistance.

选项 A、piracy is always very rampant after the rainy season.
B、11 pirates attacked the Italian cargo ship.
C、British and American navy forces went for help.
D、the rescuing Navy has met with a strong resistance.

答案A

解析 根据句(5)可知,货船被劫持时正值季风季节结束,人们预期此时正是海盗行为在索马里周围水域猖獗之际,因此可以推测,按往年的规律海盗行为都会在雨季结束后开始。故[A]为正确答案。
