One of the major problems is that flooding of a hold space may occur without the knowledge of the crew, particularly in heavy weather conditions where visibility may be minimal and any changes in the response of the ship may be masked by the storm. The influence of flooding No. 1 hold on a bulk carrier carrying ore, from a naval architecture(建筑) point of view, is of course to create a significant trim by the head. It is considered that on a well maintained ship this should be a survivable situation. In the event that flooding progress to the adjacent No. 2 hold then the consequent trim can immerse the deck forward and the survivability of the ship under storm condition becomes doubtful. Another is also important and if this is a consequence of transverse watertight bulkhead failure then the shock loadings, both in terms of over and under pressures could create a chain reaction involving hatch covers being displaced, bulkheads collapsing, etc. , within a few seconds resulting in an almost instantaneous loss of hull buoyancy and the ship sinking. Knowing when the hold s are taking in water is, therefore, considered very important.
73．The following ______ is not the reason that flooding of a hold space may occur
31
without the knowledge of the crew.
A. that the visibility may be too poor at the moment
B. that changes in the response of the ship may be masked by the storm
C. that the conditions of the weather may prevent the crew members from detecting the response of the ship
D. that the crew members are poorly educated and have not enough knowledge 74．The flooding of No. 1 hold _______.
A. will result in an almost instantaneous loss of hull buoyancy and the ship sinking
B. will create a chain reaction involving the hatch covers being displaced, bulkheads collapsing
C. will progress to the adjacent No. 2 hold D. is normally a survivable situation
75．If ______, the consequent trim can immerse the deck forward and the
survivability of the ship under storm condition becomes doubtful. A. No. 1 hold is flooded B. No. 2 hold is flooded
C. both No. 1 and No. 2 hold are flooded D. either both No. 1 or No. 2 hold is flooded
76．The best title of this paragraph shall be ______. A. The flooding and division arrangement of the ship
B. Knowing when the hold s are taking in water is very important C. Crew members will never know when the hold s are flooded D. Flooding is unavoidable

A pleasure craft (8 meters) whilst anchored 28 miles from the nearest land for the night in a shipping lane off the North East coast of Australia, with all hands on board sleeping, was struck by a passing bulk carrier. Fortunately there were no casualties. The collision went unnoticed by the OOW and the lookout on the bulk carrier. Available evidence indicates that proper radar and visual lookout was maintained on the bulk carrier. There could be several possible reasons for the pleasure craft not being observed on the bulk carrier: (i) pleasure craft presented a poor radar target; (ii) anchor light on the pleasure craft was too weak and did not comply with COLREGs; and (iii) reflection of moonlight from the water prevented the pleasure craft hull being seen from the bulk carrier bridge. Another contributory cause to the collision
34
was the lack of a lookout on the pleasure craft which was anchored in a shipping lane at night.
Numerous collisions occur between large ships and small craft every year resulting from lack of proper lookout on one or both vessels. All watchkeepers need to be aware that small craft may not be readily sighted by radar or visually from the navigating bridge of large ships. The importance of proper lookout on all vessels, large and small, cannot be overemphasized and watchkeepers shall also be guided by Rule 5 on Look-out of the COLREGs. Smaller ships should consider warning larger ships of any developing collision risk by using all available means including light signals, sound signals and radio communication. Larger ships must remember that provision of proper radar lookout does not obviate the need for effective visual lookout and vessels with operational radar shall be guided by Rule 6 (b) of the COLREGs. All ships including small craft, shall avoid anchoring in a known shipping lane.
69．What happened in the story?
A．A pleasure craft grounded in the channel B．A pleasure craft was struck by a passing ship
C．A bulk carrier grounded in the channel D．A bulk carrier was struck by a pleasure craft
70．Which of the following was NOT the cause for the incident? A．poor radar target of the bulk carrier
B．poor lookout of the pleasure craft
C．weak anchor light on the pleasure craft D．reflection of the moonlight 71．What is emphasized in the passage?
