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. 69. ______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

43903 Page 7 of 9

43期903 航海英语

D. the charts which are corrected to date

70. 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 71. 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 72. This passage is most likely extracted from ______ of NM.

A. Section I - Explanatory Notes

Nowadays，most merchant ships are built to carry cargoes. And they mainly operate as tramps. These vessels do not sail on regular routes or keep to a fixed timetable，but are employed where there is cargo for them to carry. Tramps can be classed as deep-sea tramps or short-sea tramps. A number are classed as coasters. These ply on coastal routes and up rivers to inland ports. The traditional tramp cargoes are dry bulk cargoes，but some are designed to carry general cargoes.

A large number of merchant ships operate as specialized vessels. These are designed to carry a particular type of cargo. There are several types of specialized vessel. The most common are oil tankers. They are owned by the major oil companies or by independent operators. Two other types of liquid bulk carrier of growing importance are chemical carriers and liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers. 73. The deep-sea tramps ________.

A. carry bulk and general cargo across the high seas B. are built to carry passengers C. are mainly coasters D. are specialized vessel 74. The coasters ________.

A. the number of specialized vessels is not small
