Then write these words on the lines below. There is an example (0) at the beginning. A REAL MONSTER OF THE DEEP Sea monsters living in the (0) (deep) of the ocean may not be the stuff of fantasy after all. (27) (mystery) sounds have been detected in the ocean that (28) (science) believe could be evidence of large, unidentified sea (29) (create). The sounds were first picked up in 1997 by underwater listening stations set up by the US Navy to monitor Russian submarines. A single noise registered on sensors 3,000 miles apart, making it far louder than any other (30) (know) animal noise, including the calls made by whales. In the past, strange sounds picked up by the system have been attributed to ocean currents, volcanic (31) (active) or earthquakes under the seabed. But researchers believe that this particular sound is made by a living (32) (organ) because its acoustic signature bears all the hallmarks of a marine animal s call. One (33) (possible) is that it could belong to a giant squid like the (34) (legend) Kraken - which is known to live at extreme depths but has never been observed alive. We don t have any clue whether the giant squid makes any noise or not, Christopher Fox, director of the Acoustic Monitoring Project, told us, but if it does, that may explain the sound depths 27)... 28)... 29)... 30)... 31)... 32)... 33)... 34) Max.
