　　Whales are the largest animals on this earth．Whales can be bigger than elephants．Whales can be bigger than some houses．Even a baby whale can be huge(very big)．A baby whale can weigh as much as a ton when it is born．That's a very great baby!

　　Good evening, ladies and gentlemen．Welcome to the nine o’clock Mystery Hour．Today we’ll show you two British stories．We hope you’ll enjoy them．

　　About 900 years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England．Their eyes and skin were green and they spoke a strange language．They were very tired and weak, so the people of the village looked after them．The boy died a year later, but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there．And her skin colour turned back to normal day by day．Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can even turn green．

　　Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland．It’s a very deep and cold lake．For hundreds of years, people have talked about a monster(怪物)called Nessie which lives in the lake．About seventy years ago, two people saw something moving in the lake．They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in the water．Since then many people say they have seen the monster．Their descriptions are always the same．It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head．It has a big bump(包，腫塊)on its back．People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear．Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not．Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish．Some think it’s a snake．Others say there’s nothing at all－nothing but people’s imagination．Maybe we’ll never know what’s in Loch Ness．

閱讀理解

　　Is the whale the world's largest fish? No．It looks like a fish, but it is really a mammal(哺乳動(dòng)物)．Then what's the world's largest fish? It's the whale shark．

　　Although the whale shark is our biggest fish and lives in many oceans around the world, few people have ever heard of it．Scientists have not been studying whale sharks for very long．Much more needs to be learned about them．

　　A whale shark is sometimes called a “gentle giant(溫柔的巨人)”．It likes to be alone and doesn't care a bit about divers or humans．The biggest whale shark weighed 24,250 pounds and was nearly 40 feet long．This makes it heavier and longer than a school bus．

　　Inside its huge mouth are great numbers of very small teeth．To count all of them, you'll need to do some math．The whale shark's teeth are arranged in rows．There are between eleven and thirteen rows on each jaw(顎)and around three hundred teeth in each row．

　　However, the whale shark hardly uses its teeth．It does not chew or bite its food．Large amounts of water are pulled into its mouth and then pushed out through its gills(鰓)．

　　For a few months every year, a group of whale sharks comes to Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia．This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the large fish．Whale sharks do live in other oceans of the world, but no one knows their population．It is possible that our biggest fish may need protecting．It is one of the reasons why scientists continue to learn all they can about these gentle giants．

(1)

Little is known about whale sharks because scientists ________．

[　　]

A．

are not interested in learning about them

B．

find them too difficult to catch

C．

do not know the best places to find them

D．

have studied them for a short time

(2)

Which sentence can tell us that whale sharks are gentle?

[　　]

A．

They have large mouths．

B．

They leave divers alone．

C．

They have small eyes．

D．

They live in many oceans．

(3)

How does the writer help us know what the whale shark's mouth looks like?

[　　]

A．

By giving reasons．

B．

By describing colors．

C．

By comparing sizes．

D．

By using numbers．

(4)

The fifth paragraph is mainly about ________．

[　　]

A．

how a whale shark eats

B．

what a whale shark eats

C．

how different fish use their gills

D．

what's inside a whale shark's mouth
