The bus crashed in Bellaire, west of Houston, when Navaira and his band were travelling back to their homes in San Antonio after playing at a nightclub in southeast Houston. [10] A Bellaire police spokesman said their initial inquiries showed that Navaira was not licensed to drive the bus.

单选题
According to a police spokesman, what did initial inquiries show? A. Rick Vega was found to have a bad driving record. B. Navaira had been drinking before the accident. C. Joe Casias had been speeding before the accident. D. Navaira was found to have no bus-driving license.
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[解析] 新闻引用警方发言人的话说,初步调查先是Navaira没有驾驶执照。D中的no bus-driving 1icense是not licensed to drive the bus的同义替换,故选D。 [点睛] 事实细节题。根据新闻内容,Rick Vega是当时车上的乘客,也是Navaira的乐队队友,新闻中只提到他腹部受伤,故A错误;Navaira是否酒后驾驶仍未确定,警方正在调查,故B错误;Joe Casias是Navaifa的经纪人,当时不是他开车,新闻中也未提及有人超速,故C错误。
