Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis. But the only things people have ever found were 10 footprints.

解析
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。
小题1:后文叙述的是关于Yeti的传说故事，故选story。
小题2:从1920年开始被发现，至今应有“许多年了”。
小题3:当地人称这种生物为Yeti，肯定是“知道”它以及关于它的事。
小题4:“抓住”比“知道”更进一步，用even表示强调程度的加深。
小题5:“曾经抓到”与“没有证据”之间为转折关系，即“虽然……但是……”。
小题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”。
小题7:Shipton相信这些“脚印”不简简单单为“猴子”或“熊”的脚印，故选simply。
小题8:felt与believed是并列的谓语动词，意为“感觉到”。
小题9:Shipton感觉这种动物可能真的存在。
小题10:人们发现的仅仅是“更多”的脚印。
小题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。
小题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。
小题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。
小题14:real意为“真的，存在的”。
小题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。
小题16:没有证据被实际记载。
小题17:take … seriously意为“把……当回事（严肃认真对待）”。
小题18:succeed in doing意为“成功地做成某事”。
小题19:face a problem意为“面临问题”。
小题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？） |
举一反三
My Forever Valentine我永远的“情人”
Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought 1 him as my “Valentine man”.
My first recollection of the 2 he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was 3 “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to 4 my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is 5 difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember 6 that ring with pride that all the cards in the world 7 not surpass (超越).
8 I grew older, the gifts gave 9 to heart-shaped boxes filled with my 10__ chocolate and always included a 11 card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-you became 12 of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less 13 , and I took for granted that the Valentine would 14 be there. I had 15 my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite 16 .
His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a 17 of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a 18_ of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.
Those things never 19 , nor does the memory of a man who never 20 being my Valentine.

Tilly Smith, the 11-year-old British girl, who was called as “Angle of the Beach”, saved 100 tourists from a Thai beach hit by the tsunami① in 2004 and has been named Child of the Year by readers of a French children’s newspaper.
She came ahead of a South African Aids orphan, a six-year-old girl who survived a kidnapping②and a young Parisian pop singer to win the Mon Quotidien award. Tilly had studied tsunamis with her geography teacher, Andrew Kearney, shortly before flying to Thailand for a holiday with her parents and younger sister last year. As she watched the waves suddenly begin to move back, and the sea was bubbling③, she warned her mother, Penny, that the beach was about to be struck by a tsunami. Mrs Smith and her husband, Colin, warned other holidaymakers and hotel staff and scores of people were cleared from Maikhao beach at Phuket.
Tilly, now 11, and back in Thailand for anniversary commemorations④of the disaster, said: “It’s really good, just to know about tsunamis or any natural disaster in case you are in one. I’m very glad that I was able to say on the beach that a tsunami was coming. And I’m glad that they listened to me.”
Tilly is unaware of her great popularity among French children. Her picture appears on the front page of Mon Quotidien, which is read by 10 to 14-year-olds.
“Our readers chose Tilly because they could identify with her,” said Francois Dufour. “To be a pop star at 11 seems impossible, and the idea of having Aids or being kidnapped is far from their lives.”
