“Dad! Dad! What’s that in the lake?” shouted Jim Ayton surprisingly. It was a summer

evening in 1963. Jim was working on his father’s farm by Loch Ness, a lake in Scotland, when he looked up to see a strange creature(生物) moving slowly down the lake. It was huge! Jim had never seen anything like it before.

Two men nearby heard Jim’s shout and rushed to join him and his father. They were all excited and wanted to take a closer look. They ran to the lake, climbed into a boat and headed straight towards the creature.

The creature’s head looked a bit like a horse’s head, only bigger. Its neck was nearly 2 metres, as tall as a fully grown man. Its body was as long as a bus. It had four flippers (鳍足) and a long, powerful tail. Could it be the Loch Ness monster that people had talked about for years?

Suddenly, the creature rose out of the water. Then it dived into(潜入) water again. A huge wave hit the small boat. It rocked and turned around. Had the creature seen the men? Was it coming over?

A few seconds later, the creature slowly went away. The monster seemed more scared(害怕的) than angry! Then it was gone. The men searched and searched for it but they never saw it again.

56. How did Jim feel when he saw the creature?

A. Happy.

B. Surprised.

C. Angry.

D. Tired.

57. How many people saw the creature that day?

A. One.

B. Two.

C. Three.

D. Four.

58. Where did the story happen?

Singing songs is fun, but is it also useful? For learning English pronunciation(发音), Mr. Joe thinks songs are the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing songs. Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn foreign languages, such as French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. You should do the same.

Some words used in songs are not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song lyrics（歌词）when you speak. Most words and sentences are very useful. You don’t have to sing songs aloud if you are shy, but after learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something that you will never forget!

Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try

Mr. Joe’s favorite singer, B.B. King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of “Why I Sing the Blues”, you are a very advanced student.

If you become good at singing English songs, you can try to go to karaoke and sing with your friends. When you are able t o sing a song in another language, even if you don’t sing so beautifully, you will really impress(给......深刻印象) other people!

61. Which is Mr. Joe’s mother language?

A. French.

B. English.

C. Chinese.

D. Japanese.

62. Singing English songs can help us, EXCEPT______.

A. pronounce correctly

B. remember new words

C. learn English

D. understand each other better

63. The songs from the Beatles are easy to learn, one of the reasons may be______.

A. everyone likes the songs

B. John Denver’s voice is sweet

C. the lyrics of the songs are beautiful

D. the lyrics are close to normal spoken English

64. The underlined word “advanced” in Paragraph 3 means______.

A. careful

B. excellent

C. kind-hearted

D. lazy

65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. English Songs.

C. English Songs helps English Learning.

D. How to Learn English.

The most common form of public transportation is the bus. It provides transportation service in cities and towns even to countryside around and city. Also, special buses can be chartered（包租）for trips to mountains, to lakes and to nearby places of interest. But usually they can’t run fast as you want.

Undergrounds are mostly found in larger cities, such as New York, London, Beijing and so on. The underground is an underground system of high-speed trains. The world’s first system was built in London. Underground trains move more quickly than buses. They, too, are cheap and help solve city traffic problems. But they are often crowed and noisy.

Taxis are more expensive than buses or underground trains, but they will drive you to the place you want in the shortest time possibly. Taxis are suitable if you are in a hurry or if you are

taking a number of handbags or packages.

If you ever visit a big city in another country, you will probably have no trouble getting around. Like many people, of course, transportation will be your own two legs!

Last Sunday morning after breakfast, our classmates took the bus to the park. At 7:00, we got off the bus in front of the park gate. We went into the park with our teacher, Mr. Lee. First, we saw a hill. Many boys began to climb it. After a while, at 9:00, girls sang and danced under the tree. What did we do at 10:00? We sat by the lake and some of us did some drawing. Finally, all the classmates watched animals in the zoo. At noon, we ate fast food. For the whole afternoon, we visited the museum. When we arrived at school on foot, it was 5:00. We enjoyed the trip very much.

听第二篇短文，回答第16-20小题。

For your trip, why not visit Singapore? Singapore is a small country to the southeast of China, but there are many things to do. It doesn’t have any beaches or mountains, but it has a very large zoo, a beautiful plant garden, and lots of museums. It is also a wonderful place for shopping.

Don’t plan to drive a car in Singapore. The traffic is heavy in some parts of the city, and most cars are not allowed in the centre of the city. Its bus service system is one of the best in the world. So I advice you to take a bus around. If you decide to visit Singapore, bring enough money. Living in Singapore is quite expensive. Also, take light clothes. Singapore is hot all year round.
