Answer 1

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

1．A.event　　　　　　B．story                    C．adventure          D．description 答案　B 解析　从下文“Over the years,the story of the Yetis has ________.”和“These days,only a few people continue to take the story of the Abominable Snowman ________.”就不难看出 此空应填story。 2．A.centuries                                B．too long C．some time                                   D．many years 答案　D 解析　根据下文“Climbers in the 1920s reported...”及“In 1951,Eric Shipton took photographs of...”等信息,则清楚地说明了此空应填many years。 3．A.heard from                                    B．cared for C．knew of                                    D．read about 答案　C 解析　hear from接到……的信；care for关心；照顾；喜欢；know of知道,听说(不一定 见过或认识)；read about谈到,获悉。短文第二段中“...they said that they had ________ caught Yetis on two occasions(场合) ________ none has ever been produced as evidence．” 说明了人们对珠穆朗玛峰上雪人的存在只不过是听说而已,却拿不出任何证据,故最佳 答案应该选C。 4．A.even                                       B．hardly C.certainly                                     D．probably 答案　A 解析　上文“...they said that they had ________caught Yetis on two occasions(场合)”是当 地人叙述雪人存在的一种更为真实的情况,因此此空应填副词even,意思是“甚至”, 用来加强语气,强调谓语动词。 5．A.as                                         B．though C.when                                        D．until 答案　B 解析　主句中叙述了“they had even caught Yetis on two occasions（场合）,从句none has ever been produced as evidence”则否定了上述情况的真实性,表示的是让步意义,故此 空应填though,引导一个让步状语从句。 6．A.developed                                   B．changed C.occurred(发生)                               D．continued 答案　D 解析　根据短文第二段的叙述,说明了珠穆朗玛峰上雪人故事的发展情况,故此空应填 continued。 7．A.surely             B．naturally                 C．clearly                           D．simply 答案　D 解析　四个选项的副词意思分别为：surely肯定地；naturally自然地；clearly清楚地；simply 只是,仅仅。如果填入前三个,则在某种程度上肯定了Eric Shipton在珠穆朗玛峰雪地 里所拍摄的足迹是猴子或熊留下的。这与下文“the Abominable Snowman might really exist”所表达的意思不符,所以此空只能填simply。 8．A.found           B．told                           C．felt                             D．doubted 答案　C 解析　从对上一题的分析看,Shipton相信自己找到了Yetis的痕迹,但是该空缺处后的 宾语从句中用了表示可能性的might一词,由此可以确定C项为该题正确选项。而且四 个选项均为动词的过去式,但只有felt意为“感到”,不仅表示感官知觉,还表示情感 或想法,且能与前一个谓语动词believed所表达的意思相吻合。 9．A.exist                      B．leave               C．disappear                     D．return 答案　A 解析　exist存在；leave离开；disappear消失；return返回。由前一个宾语从句“that they were not simply the tracks of a monkey or a bear”可以判断出此空应填exist,即Shipton认 为在珠穆朗玛峰上,雪人很可能真正存在。 10．A.clearer                   B．more               C．possible                       D．fewer 答案　B 解析　根据该空所在段的首句“Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis.”及 下文“Most believe the footprints are nothing more than ________ animal tracks...”就可以 判断出此空应填more,说明人们在弄清雪人真相的努力中,所发现的惟一东西仅仅是更 多的脚印,故此空应填more。 11．A.huge                     B．recent               C．ordinary                     D．frightening 答案　C 解析　由下文“________,in 1964,a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was ________...”可以推测出,此空应填形容词ordinary,说明大多数人认为,他们发现 的更多的脚印,只不过是普通动物的足迹。 12．A.strange                     B．large                  C．deep                        D．small 答案　B 解析　“...as they melted and（融化） refroze in the snow”清楚地阐述了人们发现的更多 的脚印要比普通的动物足迹大的原因。此空应填形容词large。答对该题需要知道：雪上 较深些的印痕经过融化和冻结会变得更大一些。 13．A.In the end                 B．Therefore                C．After all                 D．However 答案　D 解析　根据上文不难发现这里所表示的是转折关系,故此空应填副词However,表转折。 14．A.imagined                  B．real                        C．special                    D．familiar 答案　B 解析　前句叙述了“Most believe the footprints are nothing more than ordinary animal tracks...”,我们再根据However所表示的转折意义,就不难判断出此空应填形容词real。 15．A.so                           B．besides                     C．again                         D．instead 答案　C 解析　上文中,一位俄罗斯科学家说雪人是真实的,和史前人有密切的关系。接着,作 者话锋一转,称“但没有证据给予证实”。没有证据是上文已提及的事,此处又没有证 据,故用again。 16．A.rightly                   B．really                      C．usually                   D．specially 答案　B 解析　根据上文中上一句肯定了雪人的存在,以及根据空白处所在句子中but所表示的 转折意义和again一词对雪人存在证据的再次否定,就不难判断出此空应填really。 17．A.lightly                       B．jokingly                 C．seriously                 D．hardly 答案　C 解析　我们根据空白前的语境,可以体会出当今人们对有关雪人的故事已经冷淡下来, 仅有很少的人认真对待此事,故此空应填副词seriously,意为“严肃地；认真地”。 18．A.succeed in                 B．manage to              C．depend on                 D．join in 答案　A 解析　succeed in doing做成某事；manage to do设法做到,后接不定式；depend on依靠； join in参加。由该句的主句“...they may face a real ________：Would they put it in a ________ or give it a room in a hotel？”可以推断出,条件状语从句所假定的是成功地捉 住了雪人。 19．A.decision                     B．situation                C．subject                     D．problem 答案　D 解析　短文末句“Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel？”这是捉住雪人 的人们所面临的一个难以抉择的真实问题,故此空应填problem。 20．A.zoo                             B．mountain               C．museum                    D．laboratory 答案　A 解析　人们对这种被认为生活在世界最高山峰——珠穆朗玛峰的所谓雪人,究竟属于人 类还是属于动物还没有明确地划分出来。如果“雪人”划归人类,应该give it a room in a hotel；如果把“雪人”划归动物,自然应该放到动物园里去生活了,故此空应填zoo。
