二、关联题(18%)

第一组

A vessel steaming in shallow water has a wave profile which sees a build-up or increase of water ahead, a trough alongside, and an increase astern. Put that same vessel in a narrow channel when the flow of water is restricted and the wave profile becomes magnified.

If the vessel is in the center of the channel the forces acting longitudinally on that vessel are approximately equal or self-canceling, and the turning movement about the pivot point is minimal. If the vessel moves closer to one bank there is a considerable lowering of the water level on that side and a force towards that bank is generated. This force acts about the center of gravity and its strength is dependent on the vessel?s speed and closeness to the bank.

With the pivot point of a vessel moving ahead, forward of the center of gravity, the tendency of the force is to move the stern towards the bank. This sheer can be quite alarming and must be guarded against. It should be anticipated, and early action to control it is necessary. If early action is not taken rudder control becomes less effective and indeed sometimes impossible.

69.The water profile of a vessel steaming in shallow water is as follows:

A.an increase ahead, a trough alongside, and then an increase astern

B. a trough ahead, an increase alongside, and then a trough astern

C.an increase ahead, an increase alongside, and then a trough astern

D. a trough ahead, a trough alongside, and then an increase astern

70.The force towards the bank is caused by:

A.the water level inboard is higher than that outboard

B.the water level outboard is higher than that inboard

C.the water levels outboard and inboard are the same

D.none of above is right

71.Which of the following is right regarding the “Pivot Point”?

A.It is the point where the gravity concentrates

B.It is the point with which the vessel turns

C.It is the point where the buoyancy force acts

D.None of above is right

72.According to the passage, ________ might be useful to avoid or eliminate the effect brought

by the bank suction.

A.reduce the speed of the ship and keep the her close to the bank

B.reduce the speed of the ship and keep the her far from the bank

C.increase the speed of the ship and keep the her close to the bank

D.increase the speed of the ship and keep the her far from the bank
