1. event意为“事件”;story意为“故事、传说”;adventure意为“冒险”;description意为“描述”。根据全文可知,关于雪人这件事是一个故事或传说。

2. 从下文中的“Climbers in the 1920s”可知,关于雪人的故事已有许多年(many years),不可能是其他选项。

3. know of意为“听说”,其他选项不符合文章意思。

4. even在此用来加强语气,表示甚至有人抓到过雪人。

5. though引导让步状语从句,表示尽管目前还没有证据证明这一问题。

6. 根据文章意思,雪人的故事应当是还在继续流传。

7. simply在此处作“仅仅、简单的”讲,此句意为“这不只是猴子或熊的脚印”。

8. 根据前文中believed一词我们可知,Eric Shipton没有什么证据,只能是感觉到(feel)。

9. 本题考查动词词义。exist意为“存在”;escape意为“逃脱”;return意为“归还,回来”。根据上下文很容易确定答案。

10.从文中的意思来看,后来人们只是发现“更多的(more)脚印。”

11.由“nothing more than”来暗示“脚印”也不过是普通动物的行迹而已。

12.结合上下文的意思,雪地里的足迹经过融化再冻会变“大”(large)。

13. however此处表示转折,因为下文写的是一名俄罗斯科学家所持的不同观点。

14. 后文讲到一名俄罗斯科学家认为雪人是与史前人类相联系,由此可见这位科学家认为雪人是“真的”(real)。

15.上文提到的没有证据证明这种情况又出现了,故用again。

16. actually此处指“事实上”,这位俄罗斯科学家的观点仍然没有得到事实证明。

17.联系上下文可知,大部分人都不相信雪人的故事了,只是少数人“认真”(seriously)对待雪人的传说,take sth. seriously意为“认真对待某事”。

18.本题考查动词词组的意思。succeed in doing sth.意为“成功做某事”,符合句意。

19.根据文意,应为面临的“难题”(problem)。

20.从文章的意思看,雪人如果是“人”就应当住旅馆;如果是“动物”,就应该进“动物园”(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.

The researchers found the virus sharply by            .

       A.studying the published Science Magazine

How many possibilities may be involved in the bee disorder according to the passage?

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 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.
