拓展阅读,Lake Tianchi is the highest volcanic1 lake in the world.It is 2,194 meters high and covers an area of about ten square kilometers.In some places it is more than 370 meters deep.It is located2 in the Changbaishan in Jilin Province,northeast China. There have been reports of monsters in Lake Tianchi since the beginning of the last century,although no one has seen one.Some photos have been taken but they are not clear because it was too far away.Several recent sightings3 brought the “Monster of Lake Tianchi” back in the news. In a recent sighting,the director of a local tourist office,Meng Fanying,said the monster,which seemed to be black in color,was ten meters from the edge of the lake.“It jumped out of the water like a seal about 200 people on Changbaishans western peak4 saw it,” he said.,In another recent sighting,a group of soldiers claimed5 they saw an animal moving on the surface of the water.The soldiers,who were walking along the side of the lake,watched the creature swimming for about two minutes.“It was greenish-black and had a round head with 10-centimeter horns6,” one of the soldiers said. Many people think the monster may be a distant cousin of the Loch Ness monster in Scotland.They also think there might be similar creatures in other lakes around the world.Scientists,however,are skeptical7.They say that the low-temperature lake is unlikely to be able to support such large living creatures.,词海拾贝 1.volcanic vlknIkadj. 火山的 2.located lukeItIdadj. 位于;坐落于 3.sighting saitIn.目睹,看见 4.peak pikn.峰,山峰 5.claim kleImv.宣称 6.horn hnn.角 7.skeptical skptIkladj. 怀疑的,理解诱思 1.Which of the following is NOT the description of the recent sightings?
