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. The 1 of the Snowman has been around for 2 . Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest. The native people said they 3 this creature and called it the “Yeti”, and they said that they had 4 caught Yetis on two occasions 5 none has ever been produced.
Over the years, the story of the Yetis has 6 . In 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest. Shipton believed that they were not 7 the tracks of a monkey or bear and 8 that the Abominable Snowman might really 9
Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis. But the only things people have ever found were 10 footprints. Most believe the footprints are nothing more than 11 animal tracks, which had been made 12 as they melted (融化) and refroze in the snow. 13 , in 1964, a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was 14 and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans. But, 15 , no evidence has ever 16 been produced.

解析:
这篇文章是有关“Yetis”的种种故事及其发展,按照人们对它的认识顺序进行说明。文章的开篇段为考生明了“missing link”的外貌和生活的地方:“他被称为过渡性生物,半人半兽,生活在世界最高峰——埃佛勒斯峰(即珠穆朗玛峰)”,文章的结尾句“他们把他放在动物园还是旅馆的一个房间”是对文章开篇(半人半兽)的照应。
第1题,答案是B。本段开始的“他就是众所周知的雪人”,结合第一自然段,这是“雪人的传说,雪人的故事”。story这一答案从6空前也能得到验证。 第2题,答案是D。从后文中“Climbers in the 1920s reported”可知雪人的传说已有达“80年左右”,所以many years为正确答案。 第3题,答案是C。由于“雪人”只是一种假想的生物,谁也没有亲眼看到过,所以只是“听说过”。同时也是考查know的搭配。 第4题,答案是A。这是对副词的考查。 第5题,答案是B。这是对连词的考查。though放在第二个分句前表示“可是、然而”。 第6题,答案是D。考查对上下文的理解,前文中“20年代有雪人的报道”,又在后文中提到“1951年,Eric Shipton在埃佛勒斯峰的雪地上拍摄了一组足迹”,说明雪人的故事在“继续”。 第7题,答案是D。这是对上下文理解的考查,同时考查副词的用法。Shipton相信,这不单纯是猴子或者熊的足迹。 第8题,答案是C。这是对上下文理解的考查,同时考查对这几个单词的掌握情况。根据上文的说明,Eric感到(felt)雪人可能真的存在。 第9题,答案是A。考查对上下文的理解。 第10题,答案是B。考查文章的逻辑关系。上一段说明了Eric拍摄到一组可能是雪人的足迹,他本想进一步验证雪人是否真的存在,但结果看到的是更多的足迹(more footprints)。 第11题,答案是C。考查逻辑推理能力。人们想证实雪人的存在,可结果看到的只是足迹,由此大多数人认为:所看到的足迹只不过是普通动物的足迹(ordinary animal tracks)。 第12题,答案是B。对常识和推理能力的考查。我们知道留在雪地中的足迹由于融化而变大。 第13题,答案是D。这是对逻辑关系的考查。由下文可知,俄国科学家又提出存在雪人这一观点。 第14题,答案是B。俄国科学家认为雪人是一种残留的猿人进化中的过渡性生物,或者说是史前人类。因此雪人是真正存在的。 第15题,答案是C。尽管俄国科学家认为雪人是存在的,但他还是没有证据来证实雪人的存在。 第16题,答案是B。对副词的考查。tightly指“正当地、正确地”;actually表示“实际上、事实上”;normally表示“正常地”;particularly表示“独特地、显著地”。 第17题,答案是C。考查学生捕捉信息词的能力和推理能力,同时也考查几个副词的意义和用法。由于反复的验证都无法确定。因此只有少数人(only a few people)认定雪人是存在的。 第18题,答案是A,在某方面成功。 第19题,答案是D,问题。 第20题,答案是A。这是考查词组和词的意义和用法。作者又作大胆假设,如果雪人是确实存在的,而且又真的成功(succeed in)捕获一个雪人,人们可能会面临一个难题(problem):把这个“半人半兽”的雪人放在动物园(ZOO)里还是旅馆里呢?
