The Abominable Snowman喜马拉雅雪人
He has been called the “missing link.” Half-man, half-beast. He is supposed to live in the highest mountain in the world-Mount Everest.
He is known as the Abominable Snowman. The1of the Snowman has been around for2. Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mound Everest. The native people said they3this creature and called it the “Yeti,”and they said that they had4caught Yetis on two occasions5none has ever been produced an evidence(证据).
Over the years, the story of the Yetis has6. In 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest. Shipton believed that they were not7the tracks of a monkey or bear and8that the Abominable Snowman might really9.
Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis. But the only things people have ever found were10footprints. Most believe the footprints are nothing more than11animal tracks, which had been made12as the melted(融化)and refroze in the snow.13, in 1964, a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was14and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans. But,15. no evidence has ever16been produced.
These days, only a few people continue to take the story of the Abominable Snowman17. But if they ever18catching one, they may face a real19: Would they put it in a20or give it a room in a hotel?

本文是一篇以介绍一种“半人半兽”的生物Yeti为主要内容的说明文。主要介绍了其特征、居住地以及关于它的传说故事。1、2、10、11、12、14、20题偏重于考查对文章内容的理解；3、6、8、9、18、19题考查词汇（包括词组、动词、名词）的辨析；4、7、13、15、16、17题要求根据文章内容判断适当的副词（短语）；第5题考查连词。
1.后文叙述的是关于Yeti的传说故事，故选story。
2.从1920年开始被发现，至今应有“许多年了”。
3.当地人称这种生物为Yeti，肯定是“知道”它以及关于它的事。
4.“抓住”比“知道”更进一步，用even表示强调程度的加深。
5.“曾经抓到”与“没有证据”之间为转折关系，即“虽然……但是……”。
6.第二段讲述了关于Yeti的一个传说故事，后文中将有新的介绍。故可知“故事”在“继续”。
7.Shipton相信这些“脚印”不简简单单为“猴子”或“熊”的脚印，故选simply。
8.felt与believed是并列的谓语动词，意为“感觉到”。
9.Shipton感觉这种动物可能真的存在。
10.人们发现的仅仅是“更多”的脚印。
11.许我人相信这些脚印只不过是那些普通动物（比如猴子或熊）留下的。
12.“普通的脚印”看起来不“普通”，是因为其在雪里融化而变“大”了。
13.前文介绍了一些人脚印的判断，而后文是一位俄国科学家的新发现。故判断出两部分之间应用 however转折。
14.real意为“真的，存在的”。
15.前面提到过，当地人的发现和传说没有证据可依，这一次“又”是如此。
16.没有证据被实际记载。
17.take … seriously意为“把……当回事（严肃认真对待）”。
18.succeed in doing意为“成功地做成某事”。
19.face a problem意为“面临问题”。
20.前文提到这种生物“半人半兽”，那么如果人们真的抓住一个，将面临的问题是：把它放到动物园（当它是动物？）还是在旅馆里给它一个房间（当它是人？）
