    He is known as the Abominable Snowman. The   1   of the Snowman has been around for   2   . Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest. The native people said they   3   this creature and called it the “Yeti”, and they said that they had   4   caught Yetis on two occasions   5   none has ever been produced.

   Over the years, the story of the Yetis has   6   . In 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest. Shipton believed that they were not   7   the tracks of a monkey or bear and   8   that the Abominable Snowman might really   9 

Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis. But the only things people have ever found were   10   footprints. Most believe the footprints are nothing more than   11   animal tracks, which had been made   12   as they melted (融化) and refroze in the snow.   13  , in 1964, a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was   14   and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans.

答案:B;D;C;A;B;D;D;C;A;B;C;B;D;B;C;B;C;A;D;A
解析:

這篇文章是有關(guān)“Yetis”的種種故事及其發(fā)展,按照人們對(duì)它的認(rèn)識(shí)順序進(jìn)行說(shuō)明。文章的開(kāi)篇段為考生明了“missing link”的外貌和生活的地方:他被稱(chēng)為過(guò)渡性生物,半人半獸,生活在世界最高峰——埃佛勒斯峰(即珠穆朗瑪峰)”,文章的結(jié)尾句他們把他放在動(dòng)物園還是旅館的一個(gè)房間是對(duì)文章開(kāi)篇(半人半獸)的照應(yīng)。

    1題,答案是B。本段開(kāi)始的他就是眾所周知的雪人,結(jié)合第一自然段,這是雪人的傳說(shuō),雪人的故事。story這一答案從6空前也能得到驗(yàn)證。

    2題,答案是D。從后文中“Climbers in the 1920s reported”可知雪人的傳說(shuō)已有達(dá)“80年左右,所以many years為正確答案。

    3題,答案是C。由于雪人只是一種假想的生物,誰(shuí)也沒(méi)有親眼看到過(guò),所以只是聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)。同時(shí)也是考查know的搭配。

    4題,答案是A。這是對(duì)副詞的考查。

    5題,答案是B。這是對(duì)連詞的考查。though放在第二個(gè)分句前表示可是、然而。

    6題,答案是D。考查對(duì)上下文的理解,前文中“20年代有雪人的報(bào)道,又在后文中提到“1951年,Eric Shipton在埃佛勒斯峰的雪地上拍攝了一組足跡,說(shuō)明雪人的故事在繼續(xù)。

    7題,答案是D。這是對(duì)上下文理解的考查,同時(shí)考查副詞的用法。Shipton相信,這不單純是猴子或者熊的足跡。

    8題,答案是C。這是對(duì)上下文理解的考查,同時(shí)考查對(duì)這幾個(gè)單詞的掌握情況。根據(jù)上文的說(shuō)明,Eric感到(felt)雪人可能真的存在。

    9題,答案是A?疾閷(duì)上下文的理解。

    10題,答案是B。考查文章的邏輯關(guān)系。上一段說(shuō)明了Eric拍攝到一組可能是雪人的足跡,他本想進(jìn)一步驗(yàn)證雪人是否真的存在,但結(jié)果看到的是更多的足跡(more footprints)

    11題,答案是C?疾檫壿嬐评砟芰ΑH藗兿胱C實(shí)雪人的存在,可結(jié)果看到的只是足跡,由此大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為:所看到的足跡只不過(guò)是普通動(dòng)物的足跡(ordinary animal tracks)。

    12題,答案是B。對(duì)常識(shí)和推理能力的考查。我們知道留在雪地中的足跡由于融化而變大。

    13題,答案是D。這是對(duì)邏輯關(guān)系的考查。由下文可知,俄國(guó)科學(xué)家又提出存在雪人這一觀點(diǎn)。

    14題,答案是B。俄國(guó)科學(xué)家認(rèn)為雪人是一種殘留的猿人進(jìn)化中的過(guò)渡性生物,或者說(shuō)是史前人類(lèi)。因此雪人是真正存在的。

    15題,答案是C。盡管俄國(guó)科學(xué)家認(rèn)為雪人是存在的,但他還是沒(méi)有證據(jù)來(lái)證實(shí)雪人的存在。

    16題,答案是B。對(duì)副詞的考查。tightly正當(dāng)?shù)、正確地actually表示實(shí)際上、事實(shí)上;normally表示正常地;particularly表示獨(dú)特地、顯著地

    17題,答案是C。考查學(xué)生捕捉信息詞的能力和推理能力,同時(shí)也考查幾個(gè)副詞的意義和用法。由于反復(fù)的驗(yàn)證都無(wú)法確定。因此只有少數(shù)人(only a few people)認(rèn)定雪人是存在的。

18題,答案是A,在某方面成功。

19題,答案是D,問(wèn)題。

20題,答案是A。這是考查詞組和詞的意義和用法。作者又作大膽假設(shè),如果雪人是確實(shí)存在的,而且又真的成功(succeed in)捕獲一個(gè)雪人,人們可能會(huì)面臨一個(gè)難題(problem):把這個(gè)半人半獸的雪人放在動(dòng)物園(ZOO)里還是旅館里呢?

Another officer who      15 there was surprised when he saw the officer of the guard choose      16 small man. 17 he said to him. "Why 18 you take     a big man with you?

The real difference is    4    in the West, you have your own plate of food,    5    in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone   6    .

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific  1   ;I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my  2  .“All great discoveries,”he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.”  3   a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.  4   wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the  5  of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that  8   to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well,  9   of that. Yet I  10   if those“best years”were true in other  11   .

Then how about the field of   12   ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it  13   ,but look when these people  14   their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln  15   the life of a country lawyer and was elected to government. At what age? Twenty-six.

But why  16   best years some after thirty? After thirty, I  17   ,most people do not want to take risks or try   18   ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was  19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still  20   for me.
