1．本句動詞為has been around，意思是has existed，例如： Mobile phones have been around(=existed)for quite a while． 從該動詞語義的延續(xù)特征看，前面的主語(即此空中)不會是具體的某一項event(=anything that happened)；也不是一次adventure(=an unusual，exciting and possibly dangerous activity，journey，experience，etc)，因此，可以排除A、C兩項。 如果說是the description(=what sth．／sb．is like)of the Snowman，也難以涵蓋短文所講述的內(nèi)容，至少還有關(guān)于它的發(fā)現(xiàn)、蹤跡等等，因此，也可以排除D項。 從本段與以下幾段的內(nèi)容看，講述的都是有關(guān)the Snowman的傳說，也就是story(=an account of events， real or imagined；注意是“一系列”events)。B項在語義和結(jié)構(gòu)上都能滿足要求，可為最佳答案。 下段開頭也再次提及story，采用了“返指”手段，體現(xiàn)全文的呼應(yīng)與一致。本題的解題思路說明，考生如能按照要求通讀全文，具備一定的語篇意識，則能更為迅速準(zhǔn)確地找到答案。 2．此處意為Snowman存在的故事已經(jīng)流傳已久，干擾項為A項centuries，因為珠峰附近人跡罕至，有人記述該故事，肯定不能有數(shù)百年，many years這個概數(shù)比較恰當(dāng)，且后文1920s，1950都不及百年。 3．A項，聽說；B項，關(guān)注，關(guān)心；C項，知道；D項，讀過有關(guān)東西。顯然對原著民來講，只能是知道，認(rèn)識這種Snowman了。 4．本題所設(shè)4個選項均為副詞，而且都可以充當(dāng)句子的附加狀語。 設(shè)空之后動詞為caught。上文談到，人們已經(jīng)對Yeti有了一些了解：finding marks like those of human feet...， knew of this creature，called it the “Yeti”，到此處had caught Yetis on two occasions，應(yīng)為一種遞進(jìn)語氣——選擇 even可以起到這樣的強(qiáng)調(diào)意味，使人注意到話語中令人吃驚的地方。類似用法又如： Some men were even singing． There was no one in the café， not even a waiter． 三個干擾項雖然也都能放在句中相同的位置，但所表達(dá)出來的語意不能適應(yīng)文意的需要： hardly表示否定，不像此處The native people的口氣； certainly雖為肯定，但表達(dá)了一種“理所當(dāng)然”的口氣，難以與前一行為動作(knew of this creature)銜接； probably表示一種可能性，也只是不確定的口氣。 5．意為原著民抓到過Yetis，下一句意為沒有用作證據(jù)證明Yetis的存在，故而兩句是轉(zhuǎn)折讓步關(guān)系，主要突出前一分句，選B。 6．前面over the years意指一個時間段，顯然在這個時間段里，基本情況是延續(xù)以前的，所以用continue。 7．此處意欲否定猴子或熊的痕跡，simply恰當(dāng)?shù)谋磉_(dá)了這種意圖，而其他選項clearly清楚的；naturally自然的；entirely整個的，都不合適。 8．本空動詞為Ship ton took paragraphs之后的兩個動作行為之一，前有Ship ton believed that...，由此產(chǎn)生的第二個動作不應(yīng)該再是found。如果真有“發(fā)現(xiàn)”，believe應(yīng)在其后。A項不合邏輯，應(yīng)予排除。 從短文看，沒有其他線索表明Ship ton本人曾經(jīng)declared以下事實：the Abominable Snowman might really...B項應(yīng)該排除。 如選用doubted，則與believed the tracks were not the tracks of a monkey or bear的說法顯然沖突。D項也應(yīng)排除。 本題比較合理的選項應(yīng)該是C項felt(feel=to have the opinion，or consider)that Snowman really... 9．本空位于全段結(jié)尾，歸納Ship ton的發(fā)現(xiàn)以及他對雪人傳說所持意見。與might連用的四個動詞中，只有exist可以表示“(snowman)有可能存在”：ship ton took photographs of a set of tracks...believed they were not the tracks of a monkey or bear and felt...拍攝了足跡之后，對雪人的存在給予一定程度上的確認(rèn)。因此A項最合乎行文邏輯，應(yīng)為答案。 三個干擾項都意味著已經(jīng)認(rèn)定Snowman的“存在”了： 如果說Snowman might escape，might disappear，或者might return，一定是在已經(jīng)“exist”的前提之下才會有可能。B、C、D三個選項動詞所表示的行為均不合乎邏輯與文意，應(yīng)予排除。 10．本段講述關(guān)于雪人研究的又一階段：Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis．結(jié)果是：But the only things people have ever found were...footprints． 選擇答案時必須考慮到這一語境： more如果用于此空，可以作為限定詞“返指”，表示附加的數(shù)或量，類似用法又如： We need more information．(We already have some．) 人們所發(fā)現(xiàn)的仍然只是footprints，也就是上文中的 tracks，除數(shù)量外并無進(jìn)展。本句開頭的But表明作者正是這種語氣。 clearer footprints表示已經(jīng)有了明顯進(jìn)展，與 But the only things...語氣不相符，A項應(yīng)該舍棄。 possible口氣不確定，而且在此處搭配似也欠妥：possible footprints，C項也應(yīng)放棄。 如果選用rare(=extremely unusual or uncommon)，則表示新發(fā)現(xiàn)的footprints“罕見”：同樣意味著已經(jīng)有所進(jìn)展，與此前多次只是發(fā)現(xiàn)marks或tracks(=footprints)的事實不符，也不能與But the only things...所表示的“無新進(jìn)展”口氣一致。D項也不妥。 本題四個選項中，兩項為比較級：A．clearer；B．more；另兩項為原級，其中possible本無級別變化形式(not gradable)�！巴晷翁羁铡痹谠O(shè)計選項時既要考慮語意干擾，又需要照顧形式上的“平行”，與之相應(yīng)，D項也用了原級形式(rare)。 11．本段主要說明探索雪人的努力(Further efforts)并無新的進(jìn)展�？紤]挑選各空中的選項時必須遵循這一基本態(tài)度： 本句為Most(people)believe that the footprints(ever found)are nothing more than _______ animal tracks，...nothing more than(=just；only)結(jié)構(gòu)表示“只不過”；與上句開頭的But...轉(zhuǎn)折語氣一致，對雪人的存在持否定態(tài)度。 同時也與上段中Ship ton拍攝照片后的發(fā)現(xiàn)(Ship ton believed that they were not the tracks of a monkey or bear...)形成對照： 本空中應(yīng)該選填ordinary(ordinary animal=monkey or bear or...)，即選項C為答案。 其余各選項均難以符合此空要求： huge animal...與monkey沖突，A項不妥； recent animal tracks，中文可說“最近留下的”，英文卻不可套用為recent animal tracks。B項不對； frightening animal tracks，此處討論的話題與tracks是否frightening并不相干，D項也與短文內(nèi)容主旨不符。A、 B、D三項均可排除。 12．本空與上空同在一句，仍然在談?wù)搕he foot prints(=tracks)。 本空之后通過對此類footprints或tracks形成過程的解釋說明其ordinary之處：根據(jù)常識判斷，當(dāng)這類footprints melted and refroze again in the snow時，它們確有可能會變得strange，large，deep或rough(=not smooth)。但諸多特征里，最能引起人們聯(lián)想到雪人而且與monkey或bear的腳印不同之處是其“大”，而非其他。由此可以確認(rèn)選項B．1arge為答案。 13．前文的nothing more than animal tracks與后文a remaining link with the prehistoric humans形成對比，即：前后句關(guān)系為轉(zhuǎn)折，用however。 14．本空的選項取決于對那位Russian scientist觀點的判斷： 本段前半部分說明一種對雪人存在持否定態(tài)度的說法，本句則從另一方面提供了不同看法：in 1964，a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman...and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans。這位Russian scientist顯然認(rèn)為雪人真有其物，與之相應(yīng)本空應(yīng)當(dāng)選填real(=actually existing；not imaginary)。同時可以排除與之對立的選項A。 如果選用special(C項)則應(yīng)該在已經(jīng)肯定其存在的基礎(chǔ)之上： The Yetis really exist and they are special... 上文卻根本沒有這一認(rèn)定。此處仍為討論雪人是否真“有”，而非討論其是否“特別”，C項也應(yīng)排除。 同樣道理，如果說the Snowman was familiar(to him, the Russian scientist?)也不合情理，排除D項。 本文作者希望盡可能全面客觀地報道與雪人傳說有關(guān)的各種觀點與消息，這也正是這類綜述型文體的典型特征之一。把握不同體裁的基本風(fēng)格有利于在閱讀中理解得更加明確與透徹。 15．A項，所以；B項，除此以外；C項，又一次，再一次；D項，相反。此處，照應(yīng)前文none has ever been produced as evidence，所以是又一次缺乏證據(jù)， 選C項。 16．A項，正確地；B項，實際上，實際的；C項，正常的；D項，尤其。顯然，此處意為實際上沒有證據(jù)證實過這個看法，選B。 17．A項，輕描淡寫的；B項，開玩笑的；C項，認(rèn)真的，嚴(yán)肅的；D項，恰當(dāng)?shù)�。Take something serious為固定搭配。 18．全文結(jié)尾幽默風(fēng)趣：真要逮著了Snowman，……又會如何。 四個選項均為“v．+prep．”形式，從搭配看均正確，但其中只有succeed(in)可以表示這一句意：if you succeed，you manage to do something or gain something。 三個錯誤選項中B項所起的干擾作用相對要大一些，誤選該項的考生人數(shù)占總?cè)藬?shù)的13.4％，這部分考生認(rèn)為短文此處應(yīng)為：if they insist on catching one (= one snowman)…顯然還是在理解詞義時受到漢語思維干擾太重——“堅持”去捕捉雪人……。insist on doing表達(dá)的應(yīng)該是一種延續(xù)性狀態(tài)：if you insist on doing something， you firmly ask to do it and refuse to give in，顯然應(yīng)該是與人交往中才會有的一種行為，用于本空中是不妥當(dāng)?shù)摹?/p> 19．A項，決定；B項，情況，情形；C項，主題；D項，問題。從后文可知，此處為一個問題，故C項。 20．兩種選擇，要么把他當(dāng)個人讓他住旅館，要么救治能當(dāng)動物了，動物住在zoo里，所以選A。

American beekeeping operations have been hit hard by what scientists call colony collapse disorder(C.C.D.). Almost half of their worker bees have disappeared during the past season. C.C.D. has also been reported in Israel, Europe and South America. Bees fly away from the hive and never return. Sometimes they are found dead; other times they are never found. Many crops and trees depend on pollination （授粉） by bees to help them grow.
A new report says virus may be at least partly responsible for the disorder in honey bee colonies in the United States. This virus is called Israeli acute paralysis virus. It was first identified in Israel in 2004. Ian Lipkin at Columbia University in New York and a team reported the new findings in Science magazine. Doctor Lipkin says the virus may not be the only cause. He says it may work with other causes to produce the collapse disorder.
The team found the virus in colonies with the help of a map of honey bee genes that was published last year. They examined thirty colonies affected by the disorder. They found evidence of the virus in twenty–five of them, and in one healthy colony. The next step is further testing of healthy hives.
The researchers suggested that the United States may have imported the disorder in bees from Australia. They say the bees may carry the virus but not be affected.
The idea is that unlike many American bees, the ability of Australian bees to fight disease has not been hurt by the varroa mite（全球性的蜂虱）. This insect attacks honey bees, which could make the disorder more likely to affect a hive. Australian bee producers reject these suspicions.
And some researchers suspect that bee production in the United States is down mainly because of the weather. Honey bees gather nectar（花蜜） from flowers and trees. The sweet liquid gives them food and material to make honey. But cold weather this spring in the Midwest reduced the flow of nectar in many flowers. Many bees may have starved. Dry weather in areas of the country could also be playing a part.
Wayne Esaias is a NASA space agency scientist who keeps bees in his free time. He lives in central Maryland, where he has found that flowers are blooming a month earlier than they did in 1970, which may be partly responsible for the disorder. Wayne Esaias is organizing a group of beekeepers to document nectar flow around the country.
【小題1】The researchers found the virus ______.
| A．with the help of colony collapse disorder |

The American book Who Moved My Cheese has bee a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “l(fā)ittle people” and some cheese.
The four are in amaze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
