解析:

36.從上下文可知，應(yīng)用story。story除了有“故事”的意思外，它還有“傳說”的意思。好多年來有關(guān)Abominable Snowman的傳說到處流傳。A表示“大事”；C表示“冒險(xiǎn)”；D為“描述”。答案為B。 

37.從下文可知，在20世紀(jì)20年代登山者在Mount Everest發(fā)現(xiàn)了類似人的足跡。如選擇A顯然不合適。B項(xiàng)too long沒有語境。C項(xiàng)some time一段時(shí)間，時(shí)間長度比較短。因此，答案為D。 

38.know of聽說。當(dāng)?shù)厝苏f他們曾聽說過這種動物。heard from收到某人的來信；care for關(guān)心；read about讀有關(guān)的事，都不能作為答案。答案為C。

39.even“甚至于”，用以加強(qiáng)語氣，說他們曾聽說過這種動物，并把它叫做“Yeti”，他們說他們甚至兩次偶然的機(jī)會曾捉住過“Yeti”。而B項(xiàng)hardly“幾乎不”；certainly“當(dāng)然”表懇定；probably表“可能”均不合語境。答案為A。 

40.從所給的連詞的意思來看，選擇though比較合適。though連接讓步狀語從句的意思是“雖然沒有拿出什么證據(jù)”。而as表原因;when表時(shí)間；until表示條件“直到……”。答案為B。 

41.  D項(xiàng)表示為“繼續(xù)”，多年來，有關(guān)Yeti的傳說繼續(xù)流傳下去。D表示為“繼續(xù)”；A表示“發(fā)展”；B表示“變化”；C表示“出現(xiàn)”，均不合語意。答案為D。 

42.simply僅僅。Shipton相信這不僅僅是猴子或熊的足跡。而A表示“完全地”；B為“自然地”；C為“清晰地”。答案為D。 

43.felt“認(rèn)為”。根據(jù)上下文，他認(rèn)為Abominable Snowman有可能真的存在。A表示“發(fā)現(xiàn)”；B表示“宣布”；D表示“懷疑”。答案為C。

44．exist表動詞存在(vi)；Shipton從他拍照的一組足跡得出Abominable Snowman可能真地存在的結(jié)論。B表逃脫；C表消失；D表返回。答案為A。 

45．盡管人們在尋找有關(guān)Abominable Snowman是否存在的證據(jù)方面做了進(jìn)一步的努力，但惟一可以找到的東西是更多的足跡。A強(qiáng)調(diào)更清楚的；C為“可能的”；D為“稀少的”均與文章不符。答案為B。 

46．大多數(shù)人相信，這不過是普通野獸的足跡。nothing more than和……一模一樣。文章講述：“Yeti”與眾不同，是與“普通野獸”比較，故用ordinary；A表示巨大的；B為“最近的”；D表示“令人恐懼的”。答案為C。 

47．large“巨大的”，由于雪融化，使重新凍結(jié)的足跡變大了。A為“奇怪”；C為“深的”；D為“崎嶇不平的”。答案為B。 

48．從上下文的意思可知，雖然大多數(shù)人都不相信Abominable Snowman的存在，但蘇聯(lián)科學(xué)家說，Abominable Snowman的確存在。句子之間明顯存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。答案為D。

49. real表示“真的”，與大多數(shù)相反，蘇聯(lián)科學(xué)家得出Abominable Snowman的確存在的結(jié)論。答案為B。 

50.雖然蘇聯(lián)科學(xué)家說Abominable Snowman的確存在，但仍然沒有實(shí)際的證據(jù)。答案為C。 

51.actually=in fact實(shí)際地；A表示“正確地”；C表示“正常地”；D表示“特別地”。答案為B。 

52.由于一直沒有找到實(shí)際的證據(jù)，現(xiàn)在只有少數(shù)人繼續(xù)認(rèn)真對待有關(guān)Abominable Snowman的傳說。take sth. seriously認(rèn)真對待，其它選項(xiàng)無此意。答案為C。 

53.succeed in在某個(gè)方面取得成功。而B表示“堅(jiān)持”；C表示“依靠”；D表示“參加”。答案為A。 

54.如果人們真地捉住一個(gè)Abominable Snowman，他們就會面臨一個(gè)真正的問題。下文是個(gè)問句，答案為D。 

55.從短文的第一句話可知,Abominable Snowman一半是人，一半是野獸，所以，如果有人真的捉到了一個(gè)Abominable Snowman，他們就會面臨一個(gè)問題，是把它作為動物放在動物園呢?還是作為人讓其住在賓館里呢?A最合適；而B表示“山”；C表示“博物館”；D表示“圖書館”與文章內(nèi)容都不符，故答案為A。

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.
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. Wayne Esaias is organizing a group of beekeepers to document nectar flow around the country.
【小題1】The researchers found the virus ______.

A．with the help of colony collapse disorder
B．by researching the causes of bee death
C．with the help of a map of honey bee genes
D．with the help of a scientist of NASA
【小題2】What is the passage mainly about?
A．American beekeeping industry has been strongly influenced by the bee disorder.
B．Studies are being carried out on the causes of the bee disorder, but questions remain.
C．How the causes of the bee disorder in U.S have been found.
D．The bee production in U.S is down because of Israeli acute paralysis virus.
【小題3】How many possibilities may be involved in the bee disorder according to the passage?
A．Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.
【小題4】We can infer from the passage that ______.
A．Israeli acute paralysis virus should be responsible for the disorder

The American book Who Moved My Cheese has bee a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens.

The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “l(fā)ittle people” and some cheese.
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.
