36.从上下文可知，应用story。story除了有“故事”的意思外，它还有“传说”的意思。好多年来有关Abominable Snowman的传说到处流传。A表示“大事”；C表示“冒险”；D为“描述”。答案为B。
37.从下文可知，在20世纪20年代登山者在Mount Everest发现了类似人的足迹。如选择A显然不合适。B项too long没有语境。C项some time一段时间，时间长度比较短。因此，答案为D。
38.know of听说。当地人说他们曾听说过这种动物。heard from收到某人的来信；care for关心；read about读有关的事，都不能作为答案。答案为C。
39.even“甚至于”，用以加强语气，说他们曾听说过这种动物，并把它叫做“Yeti”，他们说他们甚至两次偶然的机会曾捉住过“Yeti”。而B项hardly“几乎不”；certainly“当然”表恳定；probably表“可能”均不合语境。答案为A。
40.从所给的连词的意思来看，选择though比较合适。though连接让步状语从句的意思是“虽然没有拿出什么证据”。而as表原因;when表时间；until表示条件“直到……”。答案为B。
41. D项表示为“继续”，多年来，有关Yeti的传说继续流传下去。D表示为“继续”；A表示“发展”；B表示“变化”；C表示“出现”，均不合语意。答案为D。
42.simply仅仅。Shipton相信这不仅仅是猴子或熊的足迹。而A表示“完全地”；B为“自然地”；C为“清晰地”。答案为D。
43.felt“认为”。根据上下文，他认为Abominable Snowman有可能真的存在。A表示“发现”；B表示“宣布”；D表示“怀疑”。答案为C。
44．exist表动词存在(vi)；Shipton从他拍照的一组足迹得出Abominable Snowman可能真地存在的结论。B表逃脱；C表消失；D表返回。答案为A。
45．尽管人们在寻找有关Abominable Snowman是否存在的证据方面做了进一步的努力，但惟一可以找到的东西是更多的足迹。A强调更清楚的；C为“可能的”；D为“稀少的”均与文章不符。答案为B。
46．大多数人相信，这不过是普通野兽的足迹。nothing more than和……一模一样。文章讲述：“Yeti”与众不同，是与“普通野兽”比较，故用ordinary；A表示巨大的；B为“最近的”；D表示“令人恐惧的”。答案为C。
47．large“巨大的”，由于雪融化，使重新冻结的足迹变大了。A为“奇怪”；C为“深的”；D为“崎岖不平的”。答案为B。
48．从上下文的意思可知，虽然大多数人都不相信Abominable Snowman的存在，但苏联科学家说，Abominable Snowman的确存在。句子之间明显存在转折关系。答案为D。
49. real表示“真的”，与大多数相反，苏联科学家得出Abominable Snowman的确存在的结论。答案为B。
50.虽然苏联科学家说Abominable Snowman的确存在，但仍然没有实际的证据。答案为C。
51.actually=in fact实际地；A表示“正确地”；C表示“正常地”；D表示“特别地”。答案为B。
52.由于一直没有找到实际的证据，现在只有少数人继续认真对待有关Abominable Snowman的传说。take sth. seriously认真对待，其它选项无此意。答案为C。
53.succeed in在某个方面取得成功。而B表示“坚持”；C表示“依靠”；D表示“参加”。答案为A。
54.如果人们真地捉住一个Abominable Snowman，他们就会面临一个真正的问题。下文是个问句，答案为D。
55.从短文的第一句话可知,Abominable Snowman一半是人，一半是野兽，所以，如果有人真的捉到了一个Abominable Snowman，他们就会面临一个问题，是把它作为动物放在动物园呢?还是作为人让其住在宾馆里呢?A最合适；而B表示“山”；C表示“博物馆”；D表示“图书馆”与文章内容都不符，故答案为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.
