　　The government has since banned a11 ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the April-May stormy season.

　　One of the ferries, MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to.About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said The second ferry carried about 100 passengers.

　　答案解析

　　31 A 该题问的是：在两次渡船失事中已发现多少人死了?第一段第一个句子说到 救援人员已经找到了在孟加拉国的两次渡船失事中的130多人的尸体。当然，实际的死亡数字还要高。

　　32 c 该题问的是：这两次渡船失事发生在什么时候?这是一道推理题。文章中没有一个句子直接提供了这方面的信息。但是第三段间接地传递了这方面的信息：政府自此后禁止所有的渡船和其他船只在四五月的暴风季节夜航。

　　33 D 该题问的是：渡船：MV Mitali设计载客量是多少?答案在第四段的第二句：警察说：把大约400个旅客装进了只能容纳：300个旅客的空间。

　　34 c 该题问的是：哪一种原因文章没有提到?第三段提到了政府自此禁止渡船和其他船只在四五月暴风雨季节夜航。也就是说，A和B提到了。倒数第三段说到了缺乏安全措施，即D。

　　35 c 该题问的是：下面是有关这两次渡船失事的说法，哪一种是错的?第五段有这样一句话：没有人真正能知道当时有多少人在船上?也不知道多少人还活着?第六段是这么说的：孟加拉国的渡船不是总能留下顾客的名单的，使得确定船上确切的人数很困难。
