In northern Scotland there is a long，deep lake called Loch Ness.More than 200 meters deep，it is the largest lake in the UK.
People say a big monster lives in the dark，cold water.It weighs more than 1，000 kilos and is at least ten meters long.Some people say it has a head like a horse.Others say it looks like a snake.
Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster，but only a few people have seen it.At least，they say they have seen it.
The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend(传说)．The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago，but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century.In 1933，a husband and a wife reported that they saw a big monster in Loch Ness.Several people took photos，but at least one of them was a hoax(骗局)．During the 1960s，a team was formed to look for the monster.They_took_many_photos_and_made_ movies，but_they_were_never_able_to_find_a_monster.
There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness，but there is also no fact that one doesn't live.One thing is true about Loch Ness：There are a lot of tourists there.

Ⅰ.阅读理解【主题：人与社会 英国巨石阵】
Stonehenge is a famous place in England，one of the oldest and most mysterious(神秘的) places in the world.It lies in the city of Salisbury，which is about 13 km south of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge was a ring of standing stones，including upright(垂直的) stones with a horizontal(水平的) stone lying across the top.When it was completed，it was made up of a double circle of stones with two more groups of stones outside the circles.Over time，however，many of the stones have been broken by wind and rain，only a small number is still standing today.
It is unclear who built Stonehenge or even how it was built.Many of the stones must have been transported over 250 miles to Stonehenge.Single stones，some of them weighing about four tons，must have been sent on rivers and rolled over land on tree trunks(树干)．They can't have been carried！The men who moved the stones didn't have wheels or horses.Each stone had to be moved by hand.
The purpose of Stonehenge is just as mysteries.It has been called a place to honor ancestors，a sun temple，an ancient clock and a calendar.Some people think the stones have been built in a special way to mark sunrise and sunset at certain times during the year，because the sun shines directly into the center of the stones.Others have even thought that it was an ancient generator，which is a machine to produce electricity，because it was built along energy lines in the earth and was used to make use of the earth's natural energies.

When I was about six years old，I was sure that space aliens had entered my bedroom.One peaceful night，I was in bed，trying to sleep.Suddenly，I heard strange voices whispering(低语) near my bed.I shouted for my parents right away.We looked everywhere but couldn't find anything.I tried to go back to sleep，but the whispering began again.I don't know how many times my parents came to my bedroom that night.I only remember that none of us could sleep well because of the voices.As a result，I was late for school the next morning.
“There must be someone hiding in my bedroom，perhaps an alien！” I thought to myself.
The next night，the same whispering sound came again.Although I was scared，I decided to find the “alien”．I searched every corner of my bedroom carefully.Finally，I found it.However，it wasn't the alien that I expected，but an old broken radio in my bookcase.The radio suddenly began to work and the voices came from it.
Even so，that experience helped me to create a lifelong interest in UFOs and aliens.
When I was in Grade 5，astronauts were being sent into space for the first time.I would look out of my bedroom's window and search the sky for UFOs.I never saw one，but I did see lots of stars.They were really beautiful and amazing，and maybe the aliens would agree with me.

Ⅱ.(2023泰州中考)阅读理解【主题：人与社会 古诗词】
Poems from Tang and Song dynasties，operas from Yuan dynasty，and novels from Ming and Qing dynasties are very famous in China's history.Today，I'd like to recommend Song of Autumn，one of the poems by Liu Yuxi(772—842)，a famous poet and writer in the mid Tang dynasty.
Just as shown in the first line of the poem，most ancient poets liked to describe autumn as a sad time，but in this poem the season appears differently.In Liu's eyes，autumn，full of life and hope，is even better than spring morning.He describes the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and flying into the blue sky.
With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings，as well as the daily life of common people，Liu wrote poems with beautiful music like words.You may feel it in this poem.Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong，the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese.I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese.
Here is another example，in Liu's essay An Eulogium on a Humble Cell(《陋室铭》)，with less than 100 words，he shows a lively picture of his humble cell.However，it also shows how he was pleased with the poor and simple life.People may find it strange that one can feel happy living in such a humble cell.Learning from his famous sentence，“be fragrant because of my virtues”(斯是陋室，惟吾德馨)，I think to be a respectable man is more important than to live in big houses，to wear beautiful clothes，to enjoy delicious food，and even to gain knowledge.
1．Which dynasty is the poem Song of Autumn written in
A．Song. B．Yuan.
C．Ming. D．Tang.答案：D
2．How was autumn in Liu's eyes at that time
A．He thought it was a sad time.
B．He thought that autumn was rather cloudy.
C．He thought spring was better.
D．He thought autumn was a hopeful season.答案：D
3．Which of the following is the feature of Liu Yuxi's works according to the passage
A．Expressing personal feelings.
B．Describing daily life of young people.
C．Picturing blue sky and a crane.
D．Writing songs according to music.答案：A
4．How did Liu feel about living in a humble cell in the writer's opinion
A．Strange. B．Unhappy.
C．Satisfied. D．Lonely.答案：C
5．Influenced by Liu Yuxi，which of the following does the writer think is the most important
A．To be a respectable man.
B．To live in a big house.
C．To wear beautiful clothes.
D．To gain more knowledge. 答案：A第

It is unclear who built Stonehenge or even how it was built.Many of the stones must have been transported over 250 miles to Stonehenge.Single stones，some of them weighing about four tons，must have been sent on rivers and rolled over land on tree trunks(树干)．They can't have been carried！The men who moved the stones didn't have wheels or horses.Each stone had to be moved by hand.
The purpose of Stonehenge is just as mysteries.It has been called a place to honor ancestors，a sun temple，an ancient clock and a calendar.Some people think the stones have been built in a special way to mark sunrise and sunset at certain times during the year，because the sun shines directly into the center of the stones.Others have even thought that it was an ancient generator，which is a machine to produce electricity，because it was built along energy lines in the earth and was used to make use of the earth's natural energies.

When I was about six years old，I was sure that space aliens had entered my bedroom.One peaceful night，I was in bed，trying to sleep.Suddenly，I heard strange voices whispering(低语) near my bed.I shouted for my parents right away.We looked everywhere but couldn't find anything.I tried to go back to sleep，but the whispering began again.I don't know how many times my parents came to my bedroom that night.I only remember that none of us could sleep well because of the voices.As a result，I was late for school the next morning.
“There must be someone hiding in my bedroom，perhaps an alien！” I thought to myself.
The next night，the same whispering sound came again.Although I was scared，I decided to find the “alien”．I searched every corner of my bedroom carefully.Finally，I found it.However，it wasn't the alien that I expected，but an old broken radio in my bookcase.The radio suddenly began to work and the voices came from it.
Even so，that experience helped me to create a lifelong interest in UFOs and aliens.
When I was in Grade 5，astronauts were being sent into space for the first time.I would look out of my bedroom's window and search the sky for UFOs.I never saw one，but I did see lots of stars.They were really beautiful and amazing，and maybe the aliens would agree with me.

Ⅱ.(2023泰州中考)阅读理解【主题：人与社会 古诗词】
Poems from Tang and Song dynasties，operas from Yuan dynasty，and novels from Ming and Qing dynasties are very famous in China's history.Today，I'd like to recommend Song of Autumn，one of the poems by Liu Yuxi(772—842)，a famous poet and writer in the mid Tang dynasty.
Just as shown in the first line of the poem，most ancient poets liked to describe autumn as a sad time，but in this poem the season appears differently.In Liu's eyes，autumn，full of life and hope，is even better than spring morning.He describes the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and flying into the blue sky.
With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings，as well as the daily life of common people，Liu wrote poems with beautiful music like words.You may feel it in this poem.Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong，the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese.I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese.
Here is another example，in Liu's essay An Eulogium on a Humble Cell(《陋室铭》)，with less than 100 words，he shows a lively picture of his humble cell.However，it also shows how he was pleased with the poor and simple life.People may find it strange that one can feel happy living in such a humble cell.Learning from his famous sentence，“be fragrant because of my virtues”(斯是陋室，惟吾德馨)，I think to be a respectable man is more important than to live in big houses，to wear beautiful clothes，to enjoy delicious food，and even to gain knowledge.
1．Which dynasty is the poem Song of Autumn written in
A．Song. B．Yuan.
C．Ming. D．Tang. 2．How was autumn in Liu's eyes at that time
A．He thought it was a sad time.
B．He thought that autumn was rather cloudy.
C．He thought spring was better.
D．He thought autumn was a hopeful season. 3．Which of the following is the feature of Liu Yuxi's works according to the passage
A．Expressing personal feelings.
B．Describing daily life of young people.
C．Picturing blue sky and a crane.
D．Writing songs according to music. 4．How did Liu feel about living in a humble cell in the writer's opinion
A．Strange. B．Unhappy.
C．Satisfied. D．Lonely. 5．Influenced by Liu Yuxi，which of the following does the writer think is the most important
A．To be a respectable man.
B．To live in a big house.
C．To wear beautiful clothes.
D．To gain more knowledge.
