材料：

The 4，426gt Swedish vessel Skagern sailed for her next port，Strood，with a draught of 5.95m．The master soon realized，however，that he would not make the tide for berthing if he proceeded to the Medway as planned，to pick up the pilot at the North East Spit．He therefore decided to change the passage plan by shortening the distance and embarking his pilot at the Sunk light vessel．The officer on watch，2/O，was told to make the necessary adjustments and lay off the new courses．

The 2/O made the original plan based on waypoints calculated and entered by another officer．These had been marked on the various charts and had already been entered into the GPS navigator．When he amended the passage plan he used the GPS to calculate a new course from a waypoint off Lowestoft direct to the Sunk pilot station．In doing so，he didn&39;t realize he had missed out a pre-programmed waypoint in the GPS for a position to the east of the East Shipwash buoy．He didn&39;t notice that his course line intersected the 5m depth contour to the west of the East Shipwash buoy．

The master did not check the amended passage plan and Skagern continued with her passage．2/O came on watch again four hours before the vessel was due to arrive at the pilot station．One hour before arrival at the Sunk 2/O prepared to embark the pilot．

He saw the North Shipwash buoy and passed about three cables to the east of it．Shortly afterwards he saw two more buoys ahead of him，the East Shipwash on his port bow and the North-West Shipwash on his starboard.It did not occur to him that anything might be wrong．Shortly afterwards，Skagern ran aground at a full speed of 14 knots．He had found the Shipwash Bank．

Although two tugs were dispatched from Harwich to standby，the master was able to de-ballast his vessel and refloat her successfully with the aid of the main engine．There was no pollution and there appeared to be no damage．

问题：

To embark the pilot earlier Skagern ________．

A.speeded up

B.shortened the distance by adjusting the planned passage

C.made the tide

D.engaged trade every two weeks

The grounding was caused by the reason of ________．A.the second officer missed a waypoint when steaming to the pilot station

B.the depth around the pilot station is 5.95m which is not sufficient to allow the vessel to keep always afloat

C.the GPS had something wrong when calculating the course

D.the vessel did not make the tide due to her late arrival

The vessel was refloated ________．A.with the aid of reverting her main engine and pressing up slack ballast tanks

B.herself by pumping out some of her ballast and the aid of her main engine

C.with the aid of her main engine and the two tugs from Harwich

D.with the aid of tide and tugs

The lessen of this accident is that ________．A.without proper planning of the ballasting and de-ballasting programme the vessel is likely to be involved in such accident as grounding

B.a vessel should be well prepared for grounding when proceeding toward pilot station

C.when grounded，a vessel should try to contact the nearest coast station to apply for the aid of tugs

D.in this age of the GPS and push-button navigation，it is all too easy to be lulled into a false sense of security and assume the position indicated is correct

材料：

MV Oakland completed loading in the port of Buckie in the early evening．The master，an experienced shiphandler，personally manoeuvred Oakland out of harbour．The chief officer joined the master on the bridge shortly before clearing the northern breakwater．Once clear of the breakwater the course to steer to make for the open sea was 295° leaving the shoreline and some rocks to port and the West Muck rocks to starboard. From his previous experience and earlier advice from the pilot who had brought the vessel into port，the master knew that this course cleared the south rocks by about 750m and West Muck rocks by about 450m．

A light beacon which marked the West Muck rocks and lay some two and three quarter cables to the north-west of the northern breakwater was not lit．Neither the master，nor the mate was aware of this．Once clear of the harbour the master became distracted by the working light of a vessel at anchor about 0.5 mile distant on his starboard and thought he was to port of his intended track．He altered course to starboard to regain it and，once he thought he was back on track，altered back to port．Moments later Oakland grounded on the West Muck rocks．

The following morning Oakland was refloated on the rising ride with the aid of a tug．

问题：

It is inferred that MV Oakland was brought alongside at Buckie by _____．

A.a pilot

B.the master

C.the chief mate

D.an experienced shiphandler

Prior to his first altering course to starboard，the master thought he deviated to port of his intended track steaming too far away from ______．A.the northern breakwater

B.the shoreline

C.West Muck rocks

D.the south rocks

The master most possibly mistook the working light of a vessel at anchor as the light marking ______．A.the shoreline

B.the south rocks

C.the northern breakwater

D.West Muck rocks

Of the following，______ is not the lesson of this accident．A.The master of a vessel making an occasional visit to a port is less likely to have accumulated sufficient handling experience

B.An experienced master should not be too confident of his ability to undertake what appears to be a straightforward act of pilotage

C.When conducting your own pilotage，it is always necessary to check with the harbour authorities to ensure you know of any local notices to mariners

D.Steering is one of the oldest skills of seamen，but it is not just as important today as it ever was
