Passage 24
At about 0355，the second mate ended his radio conversation and went to the chart table to write up the log. With the second mate apparently busy，the seaman on watch attempted to identify the lights on the other vessel. When he returned to the bridge front，he suddenly saw a mast，with lights on it，passing extremely close to the starboard side and called out in alarm to the second mate. The second mate immediately engaged manual steering and applied 15° of port rudder. The seaman went to the starboard bridge wing from where he saw a vessel about two ship lengths astern. The second mate and the seaman had apparently not heard or felt any impact and they assumed that the other vessel had passed clear. The second mate heard the fishing vessel's calls to the ship on VHF，but he did not acknowledge them. He also heard its communications with Brisbane Radio，but he did not respond. About 0750，the agent of the ship had been informed by the Brisbane harbour master that the ship had been in a collision with the fishing vessel.
093.There were _______ persons on the bridge when the accident occurred. A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
094.It is inferred that the 2/O was _______ when the close quarter situation was developing. A. talking over VHF with the fishing ship
B. not keeping a proper lookout，and allowed himself to be distracted by his radio conversation with his friend
C. engaging himself in other things which are more urgent at the moment D. keeping a proper lookout but failed to identify the fishing ship 095.It can be concluded that ______.
A. the two ships did not collided each other
B. the two ships collided each other，but none of them acknowledged the accident C. only the fishing ship acknowledged the accident at the moment D. only the big ship acknowledged the accident at the moment
096.Of the following，______ is not likely to be the contributing factor of the accident. A. the second mate was not keeping a proper look out at the moment B. the seaman did not report to 2/O what he saw
C. the fishing ship was not keeping a proper look out at the moment
D. in the night it was too dark or too difficult for the crew members to identify each other
Passage 25
Charts should be used with prudence：there are areas where the source data are old，incomplete or of poor
quality. The mariner should use the largest scale appropriate for his particular purpose；apart from being the most detailed，the larger scales are usually corrected first. When extensive new information (such as a new hydrographic survey) is received，some months must elapse before it can be fully incorporated in published charts. On small scale charts of ocean areas where hydrographic information is，in many cases，still sparse，charted shoals may be in error as regards position，least depth and extent. Undiscovered dangers may exist，particularly away from well-established routes. 097.______are the most detailed. A. the larger scale charts B. the smaller scale charts
C. the charts covering the area where the source data are old，incomplete or of poor quality D. the charts which are corrected to date
098.In the area ______the charted shoals are unlikely to be in error. A. where hydrographic information is still sparse
B. where the source data are old，incomplete or of poor quality C. away from well-established routes
D. where new hydrographic survey information has just been incorporated in the charts
099.If the information provided by a chart covering an area where a new hydrographic survey has just been carried out has still some error as regards position，least depth and extent of shoals，the most probable reason is that ______.
A. the survey did not discover the shoals there B. the survey was incomplete or of poor quality
C. the survey was made away from well-established routes
D. the survey information has not yet been fully incorporated in the chart 100.This passage is most likely extracted from ______ of NM. A. Section I - Explanatory Notes
B. Section II - Updates to Standard Navigational Charts C. Section III - Reprints of Radio Navigational Warnings D. Section IV - Amendments to Admiralty Sailing Directions
Passage 26
The overall concept upon which the GMDSS is based is that all ships will carry an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB). EPIRBs are designed to alert a shore Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC)，via a satellite link，in the event of an emergency. They can be operated both manually and automatically. They will also provide the identity and approximate position of the ship in distress. The RCC will then use modern communications to discover what ships are in the vicinity and marshal appropriate resources to provide assistance. For this purpose the GMDSS establishes Distress and Safety Communications which will be used by ships. These include VHF，MF，HF and satellite services. In addition，the GMDSS establishes broadcast systems for the transmission and automatic receipt of Maritime Safety Information (MSI). This includes Navigational Warnings，Meteorological Warnings，Meteorological Forecasts，Initial Distress Alerts and other urgent information.
101.In the event of an emergency，RCC will ______ appropriate resources in the vicinity to provide immediate assistance.
A. arrange appropriate resources in the vicinity to provide assistance B. try to prohibit ships in the vicinity from providing any assistance C. investigate the case to see if it is necessary to provide assistance D. communicate to the ship in distress all Navigational Warnings，Meteorological Warnings，Meteorological
Forecasts，Initial Distress Alerts and other urgent information
102.In an emergency case，which of the following relationships seems to be logical in the GMDSS communication? ______
A. Ship in distress / satellite / RCC / salving ship B. Satellite / RCC / ship in distress / salving ship C. RCC ? satellite ? ship in distress / salving ship D. Salving ship / RCC / satellite / ship in distress
103.Which of the following is not true concerning the advantages in using the GMDSS system? ______ A. The assistance in detail required by the ship in distress can be provided by EPIRB B. The identity of the ship in distress will be provided by EPIRB
C. Appropriate arrangements can be made to assist the ship in distress
D. The approximate position of the ship in distress will be provided by RCC to all ships in vicinity 104.Which of the following is true concerning the use of GMDSS? ______
A. In the Distress and Safety Communications，VHF，MF and HF are prohibited.
B. GMDSS can only receive Distress and Safety information，but not transmit any information to other mobile stations or stations ashore
C. Navigational Warnings，Meteorological Warnings，Meteorological Forecasts and Initial Distress Alerts are considered to be Maritime Safety Information D. EPIRBs can only be operated manually
Passage 27
Crewmembers and other personnel onboard must familiarize themselves with the Muster list and Emergency Instructions posted up in the crew's quarters and other conspicuous(显著的) places.
The Muster list specifies details of the general emergency alarm signal and also action to be taken by crew and passengers when this alarm is sounded; specifies how the order to abandon ship shall be given; shows the duties assigned to the different members of the crew in connection with the closing of various doors and mechanisms，the equipping of the lifeboats and buoyant apparatus，the general preparation of any other boats，buoyant apparatus，inflatable life rafts and all other matters，and the extinction of fire; specifies which officers are assigned to ensure that life-saving and fire-fighting appliances are maintained in good conditions and are ready for immediate use; specifies definite signals for calling all members of the crew to their boat and fire stations and shall give full particulars of these signals.
105.Which function of the followings is not mentioned about Muster list in the passage? A. How to order to abandon ship

B. Muster list is posted up in the crew's quarters and other conspicuous places
C. Muster list specifies which officers are in charge of the maintenance of lifesaving and firefighting
appliances
D. All of the above
Passage 28
Intention can be inferred in many ways by the courts. Thus the discharge at Cadiz instead of Bombay \nefarious reasons\was an unreasonable deviation. A transshipment was declared to be an unreasonable deviation \because \，where the court was unable to find that a defendant's action constituted \，\the defendant was exculpated of liability. The vast majority of decisions require that intention be proved in cases of deviation and quasi-deviation. The carrier has the burden of proving that it had no intention to deviate or that the deviation was not for the carrier's sole benefit.
Accordingly，a geographic deviation due to an erroneous change of course by the master is not a deviation，but an error in navigation; in such a case，the carrier is protected under the Rules. If，however，the master is ordered to alter the customary or planned route，or deliberately takes it upon himself to do so，for a reason other than to save persons or cargo (or some similar reason)，then the course alteration is an unreasonable deviation，because it is intentional and for the carrier's own benefit.
109.If the carrier has proved that he had no intention to deviate or that the deviation was not for his sole benefit ________.
A. he will be exculpated of liability B. he is to investigate the case further C. he will not be exculpated of liability
D. he has to contact with the shipper to see if he himself is free of any liability
110.A geographic deviation due to an erroneous change of course by the master ________. A. is not a reasonable deviation B. is not an error in navigation C. is a reasonable deviation
D. can not be determined if it constitutes a reasonable deviation
111.Where the court is unable to find that a defendant's action constituted \voluntary deviation without reasonable cause，\
A. the defendant will not be responsible for the loss and damage B. the defendant will be responsible for the loss and damage
C. if the defenant be responsible for the loss and damage can not be determined D. the court should not make any decision
112.An unreasonable deviation must be committed by the master ________. A. intentionally
B. for the carrier's own benefit
C. intentionally and for the carrier's own benefit D. reasonably
Passage 29
A tropical storm is not so extensive as the depression of higher latitudes but，within 75miles or so of the center，the wind is often far more violent，and the high and confused seas near the center may cause considerable damage to large and well-found ships，while small vessels (for example，destroyers) have foundered . The danger is still greater when ships are caught in restricted waters without adequate room to maneuver. Within 5 to 10 miles of the center the wind is light or moderate and variable，the sky is clear or partially so，and there is
a heavy，sometimes mountainous，confused swell. This area is known as the \113.The ________ of the depression of higher latitude ________ that of a tropical storm. A. scope/ is much bigger
