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) 答案为B。选项A "event"(事件), 选项C "adventure"(冒险), 选项D "description"(描述-多用于具体细节)都与文意相去甚远, 故不用。 　　(2) 答案为D。文章到此处所提供的信息还不足以作答该题。该题的答题依据来自"Climbers in the 1920s reported．．．""Over the years, the story of Yetis has continued ．"以及"In 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs．．．" 选项A"centuries"把时间理解过长;选项C"some time"则把时间理解过短。 　　(3) 答案为C。选项C "knew of"意思是"知道有．．．;听说过", 符合文意。 选项A heard from（收到某人的消息或来信）, 选项B"关心, 喜欢",以及 选项D read about (阅读关于．．．的文章) 明显不合文意, 故不用。 　　(4) 答案为A。选项A even(甚至) 加重其后的动词caught 的语气, 为后面的though 引出让步状语从句作铺垫。 　　(5) 答案为B。选项B though (虽然)引出让步状语从句, 符合文意逻辑。 　　(6)答案为D。选项Dcontinued=went on意思是"有关Yetis的传说还在继续"。选项C"occured"是个生字, 意思是"发生", 相当于"took place"。选项A"developed"(发展)无法与"the story"搭配使用, 故不用。 　　(7) 答案为D。选项D "simply"(简直)用来加强语气。请看例句： He simply did not know what to do． My mother simply wouldn't put up with her． 　　(8) 答案为C。选项C "felt"相当于 "thought"(认为), 与其前的动词 "believed"意思相承。"and felt that the Abominable Snowman might really resist "一句可看作是对上一句的补充。 　　(9) 答案为A。选项A "exist"(存在) 与文章一开始就交代的 "He is supposed to live in the highest mountain in the world - Mount Everest"以及下面所交代的 "Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis"相吻合。选项B "escape"和选项C "disappear"不但与文意不符, 而且二者干扰角度相似。故一并排除。 　　(10)答案为B。其前交代过"Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks"。故此题 选用(found) more (footprints)。 至于选项A "clearer"(更清晰的), 因前面并未提到 "tracks"是否清楚, 缺乏比 较对象, 故不用。 　　(11) 答案为C。此句的意思是"脚印只不过是普通的动物足迹"。 "nothing more than" (不过是．．．) 　　(12) 答案为B。根据常识 "as they melted(融化) and refroze in the snow"以后, 脚印 不可能变得 "deep" "rough"(粗糙), 而再经冻上的脚印倒是有可能变大, 故选项B是正确的。 　　(13) 答案为D。选项D "However"(然而) 表示转折, 符合文意。选项A "In the end"(最后), 选项B "Therefore"(因此), 以及选项C "After all"(必竟)都无法串接上下文的逻辑, 故不用。 　　(14) 答案为B。第11题曾提到过"脚印只不过是普通的动物足迹", 本题通过 "However"(然而)表示转折, 而选项B 'real'(真实的)刚好表现出这种转折之意。 　　(15) 答案为C。第5题曾提及 "though none has ever been produced as evidence(证据)", 故此题选用 "again"。 　　(16) 答案为B。选项A "rightly"(正确地), 选项C "规范地", 以及选项D "particularly"(特别地'都有一个共同点, 即 "evidence has ever been produced", 这当然有悖于文意, 故不用。 　　(17) 答案为C。"take something seriously"意思是 "严肃地对待某事", 这和下面的假设 "But if they ever succeed in catching one"都是一致的, 反映了某种因果关系。 　　(18) 答案为A。通过下面假设的问题 "Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel?"可以推断出选项A "succeed in"。选项B "insist on", 选项C "depend on", 以及选项D "join in"都着眼于 "未捕获"的假设, 这当然不合文意。 　　(19) 答案为D。下文 "Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel?"是个再清楚不过的 "problem"。选项A "decision"(决定) 相当于"choice"(选择), 应用于有明确的挑选条件的场合。 　　(20) 答案为A。第20题所在的最后一句其实与文章开头相呼应： Half-man, half-beast,而最能反映这一说法, 并和文中提及的 "hotel"一词相对的就是 "zoo"。
