The cut is the first change in rates since December 1994, when the bank increased rates to slow the economy, but the bank warned it would lift rates again if wages grew too fast.

What were the official interest rates before the Reserve Bank of Australia announced a cut?
A.Around 7. 0 percent.

材料:
When SEA EMPRESS was two or three cables from the Channel entrance,the pilot saw from the changing aspect of the Outer Leading Lights that there was a set to the east.He ordered a course change of 5° to port.The vessel,which was now closing with the Mid Channel Rocks Light Buoy,started to turn to port.The pilot saw the Outer Leading Lights close and then open to the east as the bows entered the channel.The Buoy was very close to starboard and the pilot now saw that the fixed red and fixed white lights of the Outer Leading Lights,the ones indicating the east side of the deepest water in the Channel entrance,were also open to the east.
After the bows had passed the Middle Channel Rocks Light to starboard there was a shuddering vibration,then a sound from the deck below of liquid being forced under pressure,accompanied by a strong smell of oil.The helmsman reported that the vessel was not steering and the pilot ordered&39; full astern&39;.The Chief Officer recorded this order and the vessel&39;s position,which was 1.4 cables northwest of Middle Channel Rocks Light.
SEA EMPRESS,which was trimming by the head and taking a starboard list,continued to run ahead as the main engine was on full astern.There were further main engine movements and the vessel finally lost all way after she grounded again in a position about 3.3 cables south-by-west of the Mill Bay Buoy.The main engine was put to &39;stop&39;.SEA EMPRESS was by this time significantly trimmed by the head and had taken an 18° list to starboard with the starboard fore part of the deck awash and was heading in a northwesterly direction.
问题:
The course of SEA EMPRESS,when entering the Channel entrance,was most likely in a direction of ______.
A.North
B.East
C.South
D.West
When SEA EMPRESS was grounded the second time,her smallest freeboard was on her ______.A.port side before mid section
B.port side after mid section
C.starboard side before mid section
D.starboard side after mid section
A conclusion can be drawn from this passage that SEA EMPRESS was grounded at about ______ hours(LT).A.0200
B.0900
C.1900
D.2200
“The pilot saw the Outer Leading Lights close and then open to the east as the bows entered the channel”.This indicates that ______.A.the front Leading Light appeared to move to the left of the rear Leading Light
B.the rear Leading Light appeared to move to the right of the front Leading Light
C.the front Leading Light appeared to move to the east of the rear Leading Light
D.the rear Leading Light appeared to move to the east of the front Leading Light

材料:
MV Magellan was inbound from Rotterdam to berth 207 at Southampton Container Terminal.At 0530 the pilot boarded the ship at the Nab Tower pilot station.The pilot&39;s and the master&39;s passage plans were exchanged and the ship&39;s pilot card was given to the pilot.
The passage continued along the East Solent,during which time there were various VHF radio conversations between vessels and Southampton VTS,about restricted visibility.The VTS officer gave the pilot a countdown from 5 to 2 cables to the Gurnard buoy.This was given so that the pilot could judge the timing of the wheel-over manoeuvre for the 141° turn into the narrow Thorn Channel.The wheel-over occurred at about 0652 and the ship began to turn.
At this time,the W Bramble and NE Gurnard buoys,which are at the entrance to Thorn Channel,could not be seen because of restricted visibility.Various helm and engine movements were made during the turn.However,when W Bramble and NE Gurnard buoys appeared,the pilot realized that the ship was in the wrong position for the heading she was on.Despite further helm and engine orders,the vessel grounded soon after,at 0700.It was not until about 0710 that the escort harbor launch informed VTS of the grounding.With the assistance of two tugs,the ship was refloated near the time of high water,and she safely berthed at 1232.
问题:
MV Magellan applied wheel at ________ to turn into the narrow Thorn Channel.
A.0530
B.0652
C.0700
D.0710
The important navigational mark or marks at the entrance to the Thorn Channel is(are)________.A.Southampton Container Terminal
B.the East Solent
C.the Nab Tower
D.the W Bramble and NE Gurnard buoys
The suggestion of a countdown from 5 to 2 cables to the Gurnard buoy is ________.A.for the pilot to judge easily when the wheel should be used to make the turn into the narrow Thorn Channel
B.to remind the pilot that the depth around there is not sufficient for MV Magellan
C.to inform the pilot that the visibility around the buoy is reduced further
D.to request the pilot that further consideration should be given to the wheel-over manoeuvre for the 141° turn
It can be concluded that the cause of the grounding was that ________.A.the Bramble and NE Gurnard buoys were disappeared
B.the VHF radio conversations between vessels and Southampton VTS,about restricted visibility,were insufficient and improper
C.Thorn Channel was too narrow
D.there was an error of judgment by the pilot during the execution of the turn into Thorn Channel
