Many people have heard the story of Nessie, Scotland’s Loch Ness monster. Yet, have you ever heard of an ice monster in the American state of Alaska?
An ice monster is what many people thought they were seeing when a federal government agency published a strange-looking video. The Bureau of Land Management put the video on its Facebook page.
The pictures were taken in Alaska, the northernmost part of the United States. While winter has yet to officially begin, weather conditions there already are very cold.
In the video, a fish with ice on its back appears to be swimming. The video was only 20 seconds long. But it was enough to get people wondering what they saw.
One person said it showed a shark that lost its way. Someone else thought the video was a prank designed to cheat people. He said the Bureau of Land Management wanted to bring attention to its Facebook page. Other people asked if the video was edited in some way, removing some images or adding others. Perhaps, they reasoned, the bureau was trying to frighten people around the celebration of Halloween. Some people said the ice monster was a large fish: a sturgeon(鲟). Someone even suggested the creature was a crocodile. But such an animal could not survive in Alaska, where it does not get very hot, even in summer. Some readers said it was ice moving in the river current, or ice that was frozen to a rope or some other object.
On October 31, the Bureau of Land Management published an update. It agreed with some of the people who commented on the original piece. An expert from the Department of Fish and Game told the bureau the picture looked “really cool”, but it was probably just ice stuck to a rope. The ice caused the rope to float and move in the river’s current.
Even though the mystery seems to be solved, some people do not seem persuaded. Others are still wishing it was a “real” monster.
1.What is the author’s main purpose in asking the question in Paragraph 1 ?
A.To encourage readers to answer it.
B.To open a discussion among readers.
C.To arouse people’s interest in Nessie.
D.To introduce the topic of the passage.
2.What does the underlined word " prank” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Puzzle. B.Dream.
C.Trick. D.Advertisement.
3.The monster couldn’t be a crocodile because .
A.a crocodile can’t swim so quickly B.the temperature is too low in Alaska
C.a crocodile only moves in summer D.it doesn’t look like a crocodile at all
4.According to the expert, what is the ice monster most likely to be?
A.A shark losing its way. B.A large fish: a sturgeon.
C.A sea creature like Nessie. D.A piece of ice frozen to a rope.
