[6]The boat was carrying 32 people—25 Costa Ricans, four Americans and three Nicaraguans. The 13 dead were all Costa Rican, the foreign ministry said. The boat, traveling between Nicaragua's Big Com Island and Little Corn Island, turned over Saturday near the larger island.
Some passengers remain missing, the Costa Rican foreign ministry said, but did not specify how many. A local radio said an unspecified number of people were rescued, including the tour boat's owner, Hilario Blandon.
[5]Nicaraguan naval authorities had banned sea travel in the area because of bad weather and strong winds, but the tour boat proceeded anyway. Blandon, the boat's owner, has been arrested by Nicaraguan authorities, the state-run news agency said. [7]Both he and a crew member, are being investigated for unintentional murder and exposing people to danger, according to police.

解析:题目问的是一艘在尼加拉瓜海岸附近航行的船发生了什么。录音开头提到,一艘游船在尼加拉瓜海岸附近翻船了,在录音中后段提到,由于恶劣天气和强风,海军部门已经严禁船只航行,但该船仍继续航行,故此可得出答案D“由于强风船翻了”。
题目问的是船上载了多少人。录音提到,船上载有32人,故选D“32人”。
题目问我们可以了解到船主的什么信息。录音结尾处提到,船主和一名船员受到谋杀和将他人置于危险中的指控,正接受调查,B“他正在接受警方的调查”与录音信息一致,故选B。
