二、关联选择题（每组关联题题干下有4个小题，每小题4个选项）
第一组：
Major coast radio stations all over the world
transmit, at regular
intervals and in code,
weather information for ships within range.
Weather
information consists of ten parts, of
which ships usually make use of three,
that
is, warning, synoptic situation and forecast. With
weather information,
mariners are able to keep
away from disastrous weather at sea and reduce the
danger a great deal . As terrible weather is
predicted, ships can take
precautions
beforehand, by delaying the voyage or seeking
shelter in a safe
place. If there is a high
sea or a long swell, they can take some measures
to
safeguard the cargo and the ship.
89.
Weather information for ships is usually
transmitted by coast radio
stations ______.
A. any time of the day B. at fixed time
C.
in different languages D. in some parts of the
world
90. Coast radio stations generally
provide weather information for ships
______.Ⅰ. in code Ⅱ. in a certain language Ⅲ.
in written form
A. Ⅰ B. Ⅰ+Ⅱ C. Ⅱ D. Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ
91. Weather information usually tells people
something about weather
______.
A.
afterwards B. in advance
C. at the same time
D. when there's bad weather
92. Of the
following, ______ is not the way for ships to keep
away from bad
weather.
A. delaying voyage
B. staying in port
C. speeding up and running
away D. pumping out ballast water
第二组：
A ship's head up, or un-stabilised, radar
display has the ship's heading
marker fixed at
000°, at the top of the screen. All targets, fixed
or moving,
then move relative to the ship's
position in the centre of the screen and the
heading marker. As the ship moves through the
water, fixed targets appear to
track down the
screen on a reciprocal heading at the speed the
ship is moving
and when the ship alters course
targets appear to rotate in the opposite
direction to that of the ship, so targets
appear to move on the radar screen
while the
ship's heading remains fixed. The coating on a
radar display is
designed to allow a certain
amount of afterglow of targets, which in the
ship's head up mode causes smearing and may
make the identification of
smaller targets
difficult. In addition, when targets, particularly
large
landmasses, are in close proximity
interference occurs, which can further
inhibit
the detection of small targets.
93. When radar
is set to ship's head up display, all fixed
targets displayed on
the screen will appear to
______.
A. track down the screen on a
reciprocal heading at the speed the ship is
moving
B. rotate in the same direction as
the ship rotates
C. make the identification of
smaller targets difficult
D. allow a certain
amount of afterglow of targets
94. In the
ship's head up mode, if the ship rotates
starboard-wise all fixed
targets on the screen
will appear to ______.
A. rotate starboard-
wise
中国海事服务中心 试卷48903 第6页，共7页
B. rotate port-wise
C. remain stationary
D. move on a reciprocal heading at the speed
the ship is moving
95. Afterglow of targets
will ______.
A. have ship's heading marker
fixed at 000°
B. cause the fixed targets to
remain fixed
C. inhibit the detection of small
target
D. make the identification of smaller
targets difficult
96. It can be concluded that
the instrument referred to in this passage is most
likely aan ______.
A. ordinary radar B.
APPA
C. specially designed radar D. radar
which is out of order
