These stories are often considered as folk tales rather than real experiences. However, the large number of sightings and the use of modern technology are changing this attitude, making us wonder if those men were telling real experiences.The following are some of the most wellknown cases about sea monsters living in the oceans. On August 6, 1848, in the Atlantic Ocean, seven men reported that they saw a creature about 60 feet long. The creatures body was dark brown in color except for its white throat area. The creature was swimming at a speed of 15 miles per hour with its head above the water.In 1961, Mrs. Stoudt and her sister were walking with their children along a strait in Washington DC. when they saw something like a tree branch in the water. As the object moved closer to them, they saw a creature, which had a snakelike head and 3 humps(峰). They said it looked like some sort of dinosaur. Then it moved even closer to them. Its frightening look made one of Mrs. Stoudts children cry.On December 12, 1964, French photographer Robert Serrec was having a holiday in Queensland, Australia. He was out off the coast in small boats with his family and friends. Suddenly, they noticed a creature, about 7580 feet long. They described it as a tadpolelike(像蝌蚪的) creature with a snakelike head. They took pictures of the creature before it swam off.1. What does the underlined word “cases” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?AboxesBexamplesCexplanations Dcreatures2.
