解析:

1. 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為名詞,都可以填入空白處作句子的主語,但從該段敘述的多年來人們關(guān)于生存在喜馬拉雅山上的雪人的傳說及下文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.就不難看出此空應(yīng)填story。

2.短文大部分描述的是多年來人們對(duì)于世界最高峰——珠穆朗瑪峰上有關(guān)雪人存在的傳說、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,則清楚地說明了此空應(yīng)填many years。

3.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的短語動(dòng)詞所表達(dá)的意思不同。hear from接到……的信;cared for關(guān)心、照顧、喜歡;know of知道,聽說(不一定見過或認(rèn)識(shí));read about 談到,獲悉。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(證據(jù))說明了人們對(duì)珠穆朗瑪峰上雪人的存在只不過是聽說而已,卻拿不出任何證據(jù),自然最佳答案應(yīng)該選C了。

4.上文20世紀(jì)20年代的登山者報(bào)告,在珠穆朗瑪峰坡上發(fā)現(xiàn)了像人腳印一樣的足跡。當(dāng)?shù)厝寺犝f過這種動(dòng)物并給其起名為“雪人”。這里they said that they had caught Yetis on two occasions 是當(dāng)?shù)厝藬⑹鲅┤舜嬖诘囊环N更為真實(shí)的情況,因此此空應(yīng)填副詞even,意思是“甚至”,用來加強(qiáng)語氣,強(qiáng)調(diào)謂語動(dòng)詞,故最佳答案選A。

5.主句中敘述了they had even caught Yetis on two occasions,從句none has ever been produced as evidence則否定了上述情況的真實(shí)性,表示的是讓步意義,故此空應(yīng)填though,引導(dǎo)一個(gè)讓步狀語從句。

6.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的過去分詞都可以和助動(dòng)詞has構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài),從單句看很難選擇。短文第二段敘述了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則說明了珠穆朗瑪峰上雪人故事的發(fā)展情況,故此空應(yīng)填 continued。

7.根據(jù)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的副詞意思判斷,如果填入前三個(gè),則在某種程度上肯定了Eric Shipton 在珠穆朗瑪峰雪地里所拍攝的足跡是猴子或熊留下的。這與下文the Abominable snowman might really exist.所表達(dá)的意思不符,所以此空只能填 simply。

8.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為動(dòng)詞的過去式,但只有felt 意為“感到”,不僅表示感官知覺,還表示情感或想法,且能與前一個(gè)謂語動(dòng)詞believed 所表達(dá)的意思相吻合。兩個(gè)并列的謂語動(dòng)詞后各帶一個(gè)賓語從句,敘述了Shipton由拍照珠穆朗瑪峰雪地里的足跡聯(lián)想到雪人存在的可能性,故C為最佳選項(xiàng)。

9.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)所表達(dá)的意思不同:exist 存在;escape逃跑;disappear消失;return返回。由前一個(gè)賓語從句that they were not simply the tracks of the a monkey or bear可以判斷出此空應(yīng)填exist,即Shipton 認(rèn)為在珠穆朗瑪峰上,雪人很可能真正存在。

10.短文第二段敘述了Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest。我們?cè)俑鶕?jù)該空所在段的首句Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis及下文Most believe the footprints are nothing more than ordinary animal tracks 就可以判斷出此空應(yīng)填more,說明人們?cè)谂逖┤苏嫦嗟呐χ,所發(fā)現(xiàn)的唯一東西僅僅是更多的腳印,故此空應(yīng)填more。

11.由下文However,in 1964,a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was real 可以推測(cè)出,此空應(yīng)填形容詞ordinary,說明大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為,他們發(fā)現(xiàn)的更多的腳印,只不過是普通動(dòng)物的足跡。

12.此句which 引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句中,含有一個(gè)原因狀語從句。As they melted and refroze in the snow清楚地闡述了人們發(fā)現(xiàn)的更多的腳印要比普通的動(dòng)物足跡大的原因。此空應(yīng)填形容詞large,在定語從句中作主語補(bǔ)足語。

13.空白后1964年,俄羅斯科學(xué)家說的the Abominable Snowman was real and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans與上句說的大部分人相信腳印只不過是普通動(dòng)物的足跡,不承認(rèn)雪人的存在所表示的是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故此空應(yīng)填副詞However,表轉(zhuǎn)折。

14.前句敘述了Most believe the footprints are nothing more than ordinary animal tracks,我們?cè)俑鶕?jù)However所表示的轉(zhuǎn)折意義,就不難判斷出此空應(yīng)填形容詞real。一位俄國(guó)科學(xué)家認(rèn)為雪人是真的。

15.短文第二段敘述了登山者報(bào)告,發(fā)現(xiàn)了在珠穆朗瑪峰坡有像人腳印的足跡,當(dāng)?shù)厝税堰@種動(dòng)物稱之為雪人,他們還說甚至于兩次捉到了雪人,事實(shí)是none has ever been produced as evidence。短文第四段又?jǐn)⑹隽?964年,一位俄國(guó)科學(xué)家說雪人是真的,并且與史前的人類繼續(xù)存在著聯(lián)系。由but所表示的轉(zhuǎn)折意義及空白后no evidence has ever actually been produced可以判斷出,此空應(yīng)填副詞again,在句中作插入語,說明俄羅斯科學(xué)家所說的雪人的存在,又一次沒有得到真實(shí)存在的證據(jù)。

16.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的副詞填在句中作狀語修飾謂語動(dòng)詞語法都正確,但是根據(jù)上文中 一句肯定了雪人的存在,以及根據(jù)空白所在句子中but所表示的轉(zhuǎn)折意義和again 一詞對(duì)雪人存在證據(jù)的再次否定,就不難判斷出此空應(yīng)填actually。

17.上文敘述了登山者及當(dāng)?shù)厝苏J(rèn)為珠穆朗瑪峰雪人的存在,并對(duì)弄清雪人的真實(shí)情況作了進(jìn)一步的努力,還有一些外國(guó)人也認(rèn)為雪人是真的,但都只不過是傳說和猜測(cè)而已,誰也拿不出真憑實(shí)據(jù)。我們?cè)俑鶕?jù)空白前的語境,可以體會(huì)出當(dāng)今人們對(duì)有關(guān)雪人的故事已經(jīng)冷淡下來,僅有很少的人認(rèn)真對(duì)待此事,故此空應(yīng)填副詞seriously,意為“嚴(yán)肅地”“認(rèn)真地”。

18.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為“動(dòng)詞+介詞”構(gòu)成的短語動(dòng)詞,其后都能跟動(dòng)名詞作賓語,填在句中語法都正確,但它們所表達(dá)的意義都不同:succeed in做成某事; insist on堅(jiān)持;?depend on?依靠;join in參加。由該句的主句they may face a real problem:Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel?可以推斷出,條件狀語從句所假定的是成功地捉住了雪人,無疑答案應(yīng)選A。

19.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的名詞填入句中作賓語語法都正確,但短文末句Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel?則清楚地告訴我們,究竟把雪人放在何處?這是捉住雪人的人們所面臨的一個(gè)難以抉擇的真實(shí)問題,故此空應(yīng)填problem。

20.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為表示處所的名詞,填入哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)正確很難做出抉擇。我們讀了短文第一段就可以知道,人們對(duì)這種被認(rèn)為生活在世界最高山峰珠穆朗瑪峰的所謂雪人,究竟屬于人類還是屬于動(dòng)物還沒有明確地劃分出來。如果“雪人”劃歸人類,應(yīng)該give it a room in a hotel;如果把“雪人”劃歸動(dòng)物,自然應(yīng)該放到動(dòng)物園里去生活了,故此空應(yīng)填zoo。

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.

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 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(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.

The four are in amaze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
