A
In northern Scotland there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness. More than 200 metres deep, it is one of thelargest lakes in the UK. People say a big monster（怪兽）lives in its dark, cold waters.
It weighs more than 1, 000 kilos and is at least ten metres 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 wife reported that they saw a big monster in the middle of the lake. Since then, a number of people have said
that they have seen a monster in Loch Ness.
Several people have taken 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.
1. What do people say about the monster in Loch Ness?
A. It weighs about 100 kilos. B. It is one metre long.
C. It has a tail like a horse. D. It looks like a snake.
2. When was the first story about the monster told?
A. 200 years ago. B. Over 500 years ago. C. In 1933. D. In 1960.
3. What is the passage mainly about?
A. People saw a monster. B. A trip to Loch Ness.
C. A legend about a monster. D. A team took some photos.
B
Space tourism(太空旅游业) is no longer a thing of science fiction. There are lots of companies planning to
send people into space in the next few years. Space X is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space.
So far, it has had over 100 customers. And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into space. Now, what can space tourists
do while in space? Here are some examples:
See the Earth from Space
Seeing the Earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives most people a sense of both achievement
and wonder(which is also why people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the earth).
Stay in a Space Hotel
Hotels are directly connected with tourism, right? So if there’s space tourism, there might also be space
hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”, which would hold up
to 6 people at a time.Eat in Space
Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp(打
嗝) in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around.
Visit the Moon and Other Planets
Space tourism companies are racing to launch(发射) the first tourist flight to the moon. Although there might
be a long way to go before common people can step on the moon, we will probably see it in our lifetime. And who
knows, maybe we’ll even see hotels on the moon.
With the industry rapidly developing, space tourism is around the corner, and it might come much faster than
we think. Who knows what the future might be like? Will you be the next person to travel to space?
1. How many people did Space X send into space in April, 2022?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Orion Span has built six space hotels.
B. Eating in space is as easy as it is on the earth.
C. Seeing the earth from space is meaningless for most people.
D. It is possible for common people to visit the moon in the future.
3. The underlined words “around the corner” in the last paragraph probably mean “________”.
A. very slow B. very near
C. very difficult D. very traditional
4. The text is probably from the column(栏目) of ________ in a magazine.
A. Travel B. Health C. Sports D. Education
C

historical records or discussing the details with experts.
In her spare time, she also travels to different countries including Germany, Australia, the US and New Zeal
and to tell people about Chinese stories seen on kites and the traditional ways of making kites. “I’m an inheritor of
the culture. It’s also one of my important jobs to spread the heritage around the world and onto the next generation
(一代人)” she said.
