答案:1.B;2.D;3.C;4.A;5.B;6.D;7.D;8.C;9.A;10.B;11.C;12.B;13.D;14.B;15.C;16.B;17.C;18.A;19.D;20.A;
解析:

(1)

从上下文可知应选story。story除了有“故事”的意思外,还有“传说”的意思。句意为“好多年来有关Abominable Snowman的传说到处流传”。

(2)

从下文可知,在20世纪20年代登山者在Mount Everest发现了类似人的足迹。如选择A项显然不合适。some time表示一段时间,时间长度比较短。因此,选项D应是最佳答案。

(3)

know of意为“听说”。全句意为“当地人说他们曾听说过这种动物”。heard from意为“收到某人的来信”;care for意为“关心”;read about意为“读有关的事”,都不能作为答案。

(4)

从句子的意思可知,当地人说他们曾听说过这种动物,并把它叫做“Yeti”,他们说他们甚至有两次偶然的机会曾捉住过Yeti。

(5)

从所给的连词的意思来看,选择though比较合适。though连接让步状语从句的意思是“虽然没有拿出什么证据”。

(6)

多年来,有关Yeti的传说继续流传下去。

(7)

simply意为“仅仅”。Shipton相信这不仅仅是猴子或熊的足迹。

(8)

felt此处表示“感到;认为”。全句表示“他认为Abominable Snowman有可能真的存在”。

(9)

Shipton从他拍照的一组足迹得出Abominable Snowman可能真的存在的结论。

(10)

尽管人们在寻找有关Abominable Snowman是否存在的证据方面作了进一步的努力,但惟一可以找到的东西是更多的足迹。

(11)

大多数人相信,这不过是普通野兽的足迹。nothing more than表示“仅仅;只不过”。

(12)

由于雪融化,使重新冻结的足迹变大了。

(13)

从上下文的意思可知,虽然大多数人都不相信Abominable Snowman的存在,但苏联科学家说,Abominable Snowman的确存在。句子之间明显存在转折关系。

(14)

与大多数情况相反,苏联科学家得出Abominable Snowman的确存在的结论。

(15)

虽然苏联科学家说Abominable Snowman的确存在,但仍然没有实际的证据。

(16)

actually意为“实际地”。

(17)

由于一直没有找到实际的证据,现在只有少数人继续认真对待有关Abominable Snowman的传说。take sth.seriously意为“认真对待某事”。

(18)

succeeded in表示“在某个方面取得成功”。

(19)

如果人们真的捉住一个Abominable Snowman,他们就会面临一个真正的问题。

(20)

从短文的第一句话可知,Abominable Snowman一半是人,一半是野兽,所以,如果有人真的捉到了一个Abominable Snowman,他们就会面临一个问题,是把它作为动物放在动物园呢?还是作为人让其住在宾馆里呢?
