解析:

1. 四个选项均为名词,都可以填入空白处作句子的主语,但从该段叙述的多年来人们关于生存在喜马拉雅山上的雪人的传说及下文Over the years,the story of the Yetis has continued.和These days,only a few people continue to take the story of the Abominable Snowman seriously.就不难看出此空应填story。

2.短文大部分描述的是多年来人们对于世界最高峰——珠穆朗玛峰上有关雪人存在的传说、考察和猜想,文中Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount ?Everest?及In 1916,Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest.等信息,则清楚地说明了此空应填many years。

3.四个选项的短语动词所表达的意思不同。hear from接到……的信;cared 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  4  caught Yetis on two occasions  5  none has ever been produced as evidence(证据)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,自然最佳答案应该选C了。

4.上文20世纪20年代的登山者报告,在珠穆朗玛峰坡上发现了像人脚印一样的足迹。当地人听说过这种动物并给其起名为“雪人”。这里they said that they had caught Yetis on two occasions 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,故最佳答案选A。

5.主句中叙述了they had even caught Yetis on two occasions,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。

6.四个选项的过去分词都可以和助动词has构成现在完成时态,从单句看很难选择。短文第二段叙述了Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest及下文In 1916,Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest则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.根据四个选项的副词意思判断,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。

8.四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。两个并列的谓语动词后各带一个宾语从句,叙述了Shipton由拍照珠穆朗玛峰雪地里的足迹联想到雪人存在的可能性,故C为最佳选项。

9.四个选项所表达的意思不同:exist 存在;escape逃跑;disappear消失;return返回。由前一个宾语从句that they were not simply the tracks of the a monkey or 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.短文第二段叙述了Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest。我们再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 ordinary 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,所发现的唯一东西仅仅是更多的脚印,故此空应填more。

11.由下文However,in 1964,a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was real 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.此句which 引导的非限制性定语从句中,含有一个原因状语从句。As they melted and 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,在定语从句中作主语补足语。

13.空白后1964年,俄罗斯科学家说的the Abominable Snowman was real and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans与上句说的大部分人相信脚印只不过是普通动物的足迹,不承认雪人的存在所表示的是转折关系,故此空应填副词However,表转折。

14.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。一位俄国科学家认为雪人是真的。

15.短文第二段叙述了登山者报告,发现了在珠穆朗玛峰坡有像人脚印的足迹,当地人把这种动物称之为雪人,他们还说甚至于两次捉到了雪人,事实是none has ever been produced as evidence。短文第四段又叙述了1964年,一位俄国科学家说雪人是真的,并且与史前的人类继续存在着联系。由but所表示的转折意义及空白后no evidence has ever actually been produced可以判断出,此空应填副词again,在句中作插入语,说明俄罗斯科学家所说的雪人的存在,又一次没有得到真实存在的证据。

16.四个选项的副词填在句中作状语修饰谓语动词语法都正确,但是根据上文中 一句肯定了雪人的存在,以及根据空白所在句子中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actually。

17.上文叙述了登山者及当地人认为珠穆朗玛峰雪人的存在,并对弄清雪人的真实情况作了进一步的努力,还有一些外国人也认为雪人是真的,但都只不过是传说和猜测而已,谁也拿不出真凭实据。我们再根据空白前的语境,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”。

18.四个选项均为“动词+介词”构成的短语动词,其后都能跟动名词作宾语,填在句中语法都正确,但它们所表达的意义都不同:succeed in做成某事; insist on坚持;?depend on?依靠;join in参加。由该句的主句they may face a real problem:Would they put it in a zoo 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,无疑答案应选A。

19.四个选项的名词填入句中作宾语语法都正确,但短文末句Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel?则清楚地告诉我们,究竟把雪人放在何处?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。

20.四个选项均为表示处所的名词,填入哪个选项正确很难做出抉择。我们读了短文第一段就可以知道,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。

US bees operation keeping groups have been attacked seriously by so called Colony (群体)Collapse Disorder.Almost 1/2 of their worker bees have vanished during the past season.This disorder 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^^}) by bees to help them grow. 

A new report says a 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 found in Israel in 2004.lan 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.This insect attacks honey bees, which could make the disorder more likely to affect a hive.Australian bee producers object to these suspicions.

And some researchers suspect that bee production in the United States is down mainly because of the weather.Honey bees gather nectar 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 apart.

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.

What is the author’s attitude toward the cause of this disorder?

       A.Doubtful. B.Neutral.    C.Supportive.      D.Negative.

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.

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 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.
