A
Loch Ness，the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles，is twenty four miles long and，at one point，one mile wide.It has an average depth of four hundred and fifty feet and at times drops close to a thousand.It is cold and murky(浑浊的)，with dangerous currents.In short，it is the perfect place to hide a monster from even the sharpest eyes of science.
The Loch Ness Monster，also called Nessie，is supposedly living in this area.The earliest recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in the biography of Life of St.Columba by Adamnan in the year AD 565.The monster apparently attacked a man who was swimming in the River Ness.
The monster didn’t make headlines again until August 27,1930，when 3 fishermen reported seeing a creature with 20 feet long approaching their boat，throwing water in the air.In 1933，after a new road was built along the edge of the Loch，the number of reports rose suddenly.Early in 1934，Author Grant，a young student，was out on his motorcycle one evening when he almost ran into the monster as it crossed the road.Grant’s description of the thing—small head，long thin neck and tail with a big body，seemed to match the appearance of the plesiosaur(蛇颈龙)，an aquatic(水生的) type of dinosaur that has been extinct(已灭绝的) for 65 million years.
The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was formed in 1962 to act as a research organization for information about the creature.Even now，efforts have continued to find the monster.A great deal of information was discovered about the Loch，but they haven’t yet produced any specific evidence of a monster.
Skeptics(怀疑论者) argue that the water in the Loch is too cold for a plesiosaur to live in.They also argue that an air breathing animal，like a whale or seal，would spend much more time on the surface than the creature seems to，and would be spotted more often.
Some scientists have wondered if the sightings might be caused by an underwater wave which is known to sometimes occur in deep，long，and cold lakes，like Loch Ness.Such a wave might push debris(废弃物) to the surface that might look like a strange animal.
However，none of these is identified.
1． According to the skeptics，which of the following is TRUE
A．It is impossible for a monster to live in cold water.
B．The Loch Ness Monster often stays under the water.
C．The Loch Ness Monster is an air breathing animal.
D．There is no so called monster in Loch Ness.
2． The purpose of setting up the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau is to________.
A．research the plesiosaur in the Loch Ness
B．protect the Nessie in the lake
C．collect some information about the Nessie
D．catch the Loch Ness Monster
3． Which of the following is the CORRECT order for the things that happened in the passage
a．A young student met with a monster crossing the road.
b．A swimmer was attacked by a monster in Loch Ness.
c．A new road was built along the edge of the Loch.
d．The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was set up.
e．Three fishermen saw a creature swimming towards their boat.
A．b，e，c，a，d B．a，b，e，d，c
C．b，d，a，c，e D．d，c，e，b，a
4． What does this passage mainly talk about
A．The natural scenery of Loch Ness.
B．The Nessie.
C．Skeptics’ opinions on Loch Ness Monster.
D．The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau’s research results.
B
The London Eye，which is 450 feet in height above the Thames River，is the world’s biggest spinning structure.It is one hundred feet taller than Big Ben，and weighs 1,600 tons.It was built to celebrate the year 2000.Maybe building such a big spinning structure suggested that people longed for bigger and better things in the future.
Why did people think of building the London Eye？In fact it was inspired by great structures of the past like the very first observation wheel built for the Chicago World Expo of 1893.It’s twice the size of the wheel，but three times lighter，and much more comfortable.The London Eye is keeping natives and visitors entertained and awed (敬畏)．
In London Eye，there are 32 capsules (舱)．Each of the capsules can hold up to 25 people.And they’re air conditioned in summer，heated in winter.From these capsules the visitors can see the most beautiful views of London.
It was difficult to assemble (安装) and put a wheel of this size.And it required new technology and a lot of imagination.The parts of London Eye were sent_up the Thames River，and the wheel was assembled on temporary (暂时的) platforms on the river.Lifting it into an upright position was a major challenge.It took a week to winch (吊) it up to its final position.
Now the London Eye is regarded as a monument to new millennium.And many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.
5． How tall is Big Ben
A．450 feet. B．350 feet.
C．550 feet. D．250 feet.
6． Why did London build the London Eye
A．To set a new record.
B．To celebrate the Queen’s birthday.
C．To celebrate the coming of 2000.
D．To beat the first observation wheel in Chicago.
7． The underlined phrase “sent up” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A．launched B．set up
C．made up D．lifted up
8． Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the London Eye
A．It was the world’s biggest spinning structure.
B．It can hold about 800 people to see the views of London at a time.
C．It was twice lighter than the observation wheel in Chicago.
D．The temperature in it can change with the season.
