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. 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 Mound 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 an evidence(证据).
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 the 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.
These days, only a few people continue to take the story of the Abominable Snowman   __17 . But if they ever   18  catching one, they may face a real   19 : Would they put it in a   20  or give it a room in a hotel?

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.”
1. The passage mainly wants to tell readers that ______.
A. a little girl saved 100 tourists out of a tsunami
B. British “Angle of the Beach” was named Child of the Year
C. many people came for anniversary commemorations
D. the tsunami was able to be avoided
2. The underlined words “Mon Quotidien” (in Paragraph 4) should be the name of ______.

3. Which of the following about Tilly Smith is TRUE?
A. She could make full use of her knowledge from books.
B. She was ever kidnapped by a pop singer.
C. She visited Thailand by boat with her parents.
D. She had expected to attract the French children.
4. According to the Tilly Smith’s knowledge, when there is a tsunami, ______.
