Port State Control (PSC) is the inspection of foreign ships in national ports for the purpose of verifying that the condition of the ship and its equipment comply with the requirements of international conventions and that the ship is manned and operated in compliance with applicable international laws. The primary responsibility for ensuring that a ship maintains a standard at least equivalent to that specified in international conventions rests with the flag State and if all flag States performed their duties satisfactorily there would be no need for port State control. Unfortunately this is not the case as evidenced by the many marine accidents around the world - hence the need for additional control.

The authority for exercising PSC is the national law based on relevant conventions. It is therefore necessary for a port State to be Party to those conventions and to have promulgated the necessary legislation before exercising PSC.In accordance with the provisions of the applicable conventions, Parties may conduct inspections of foreign ships in their ports through Port State Control Officers (PSCOs).

问题：The purpose of PSC is ______.

① to check and inspect foreign ships

② to verify the condition of a ship in compliance with requirements of international conventions;

③ to make sure that the ship is manned and operated well;

④to detain ships

B.②③

C.①③

D.①②③④

Who will be responsible for ensuring that a ship maintains a standard at least equivalent to that specified in international conventions?A.PSCOs

B.Ship owners

C.Flag states

Before exercising PSC, a port state should______.A.become a contracting Party and promulgate regulations for implementing PSC

One of the surviving traditions in historic Stone Town is the coffee baraza. Baraza means "gathering of people", and here refers specifically to small crowds of people who gather over a cup of kahawa for the latest gossip. Historically the elders, or "wazee", would congregate in the centre while the young would line the fringes. Age denoted respect.

Today, the baraza atmosphere is less formal, and reflects the local flavour or atmosphere. Some barazas are located in places with colourful names, such as "Kwa Haji Tumbo"(Haji with the Big Stomach's Place), "Kwa Boko"(Place of the Hippo), "Mfereji Maringo"(Place of the Clogged Water Tap), or "Shangani"(Place of the Beads).

An integrated part of cultural and religious traditions, the baraza also has a social monitoring function. Children, although often sent to buy coffee for parents or grandparents, are denied drinking it. "It is bad for you," the wazee might say. Having bought the coffee, with a bit of luck the young boys and—girls were never allowed to buy coffee at the baraza—have been able to snatch the salient parts of the latest gossip as well.

During the fasting and spiritual cleansing month of Ramadan, Muslims very often break their fast after sunset to a free first serving of baraza coffee. Following evening prayer, everybody returns for second or third rounds of coffee.

Zanzibari coffee is made from locally grown beans, and served plain and strong, in small cups similar to jasmine teacups from Chinese restaurants. Although not quite as hair-raising as espresso, it beats filter coffee by a long shot for both flavor and texture.

The baraza is the first place where people meet after prayer, weddings, births, funerals, or other important events. In the old days, a "muuza kahawa," or coffee vendor, would "patrol" the streets on foot. He carried cups and coffee beans in large pockets on his robe, and a classic brass coffee pot in his hand. In ways almost reminiscent of European ice-cream vans, the muuza kahawa would rattle his coffee cups in a certain rhythm, and sing a slogan that would be specific to him alone. People would quickly recognize the sound, and make their way to their usual spot.

Although the muuza kahawa is gone today, the baraza remains the focal point for local happenings and gossip. It is where the grapevine starts or ends, and where potent Arabica coffee can be enjoyed by anyone passing by, for a few shillings. For visitors to the island, the baraza offers an excellent opportunity to have a relaxed chat with locals. Many of the wazee have rich experiences to draw on, and can furnish you with unique and compelling stories of Zanzibar back in the days. They often speak very good English, sometimes even other languages as well.

In historic Stone Town, "wazee" ______.

A．are supposed to have rich experiences and lots of stories of local history

B．can speak good English and Chinese besides the local language

C．used to be the centre of the latest gossip

D．usually send their boys and girls to buy coffee at the baraza

听力原文：W: My guest today is the artist, Alan Carey, who over the last thirty years has established himself as one of the country's leading sculptors, making a range of fascinating objects out of metal, stone and other materials. Alan, welcome.

M: Hello.

W: But you don't come from an artistic background, do you, Alan?

M: Oh, absolutely not. If my father had had anything to do with it, I'd never have gone in for sculpture because he was an accountant and ideally he wanted me to join his finn, or if not, go into insurance or banking. But none of these ideas appealed to me, I'm afraid. I'd been doing sculpture as a hobby through my teenage years and, although my parents encouraged me in that, it didn't seem like a prospective career at the time, at least not to my father.

W: But he got a sculptor to look at your work at one point, didn't he?

M: Oddly enough, yes. We went to see a man who taught sculpture in a big London art school who said, "Well, let's have a look at the work", and this chap looked at it and said to my father, "Your son will never be any good, you know", and my father was rather relieved and said to me, "You see, you can do it as a hobby". And then, when we got home he said, "Well, what do you want to do?" and I didn't know … engineering? … architecture? I considered various things, even geology, but finally, in the end, after I’d got a maths degree, I said, "What I really want to do is sculpture, you know" and he said, "Well, you'd better do it then."

W: So, he gave in in the end?

M: He did. But I'm glad it happened that way, that I had to struggle to do it, because he made me dedicate myself to sculpture and do the job properly. He had the idea that art was for amateurs, and that was the one thing that I did not want to be. I wanted to do it as a professional. I knew he was wrong, so I set out to prove it. And, you know, I'm sure that if I had joined his firm, I'd have done it in a half-hearted way which he wouldn't have approved of anyway. And I must say, after I'd decided to become a sculptor, he couldn't have been more supportive.

W: And so you went on to Art College. Did you enjoy it?

M: At the beginning, I appreciated it a lot because we had a different teacher every term. This meant you got a good grounding in the basics because you picked up different things from each one. You know, it might be the material they worked in, for example, or their technique, or whatever. But eventually I got fairly restless because it was a five-year course and by about half-way through I was getting a bit fed up because it was extremely traditional in terms of approach and I was looking for something more out of the ordinary.

W: So this was what led you to Harold Morton?

M: Yes, he was the most advanced sculptor of the time, and he was really doing very different things which I found exciting. And so I sent him some photos of my work, on the off-chance, and amazingly he offered me a part-time job and so I managed to combine that with the final years of college, which made all the difference.

W: And how would you sum up that experience, what did you get out of it?

M: Well, we talked about art a lot. He taught me that a sculptor's studio is quite different from an art college. I had to do drawing at college, a subject I never really understood, and when I got back, he would criticise what I'd done. And from him, I learnt how a sculptor draws, because I was being taught by painters, who are looking at things in a different way.

W: And I suppose it was thanks to him that you started doing abstract art?

M: Well, yes it was, because I don't do sculptures of people or animals, they are not meant to be lifelike. So they are examples of what, I suppose, you'd call abstract art. They are meant to mean something, to make you think.
