解析:

本文是一篇以介紹一種“半人半獸”的生物Yeti為主要內(nèi)容的說明文。主要介紹了其特征、居住地以及關(guān)于它的傳說故事。1、2、10、11、12、14、20題偏重于考查對文章內(nèi)容的理解;3、6、8、9、18、19題考查詞匯(包括詞組、動詞、名詞)的辨析;4、7、13、15、16、17題要求根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容判斷適當(dāng)?shù)母痹~(短語);第5題考查連詞。

【小題1】后文敘述的是關(guān)于Yeti的傳說故事,故選story。

【小題2】從1920年開始被發(fā)現(xiàn),至今應(yīng)有“許多年了”。

【小題3】當(dāng)?shù)厝朔Q這種生物為Yeti,肯定是“知道”它以及關(guān)于它的事。

【小題4】“抓住”比“知道”更進(jìn)一步,用even表示強(qiáng)調(diào)程度的加深。

【小題5】“曾經(jīng)抓到”與“沒有證據(jù)”之間為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,即“雖然……但是……”。

【小題6】第二段講述了關(guān)于Yeti的一個傳說故事,后文中將有新的介紹。故可知“故事”在“繼續(xù)”。

【小題7】Shipton相信這些“腳印”不簡簡單單為“猴子”或“熊”的腳印,故選simply。

【小題8】felt與believed是并列的謂語動詞,意為“感覺到”。

【小題9】Shipton感覺這種動物可能真的存在。

【小題10】人們發(fā)現(xiàn)的僅僅是“更多”的腳印。

【小題11】許我人相信這些腳印只不過是那些普通動物(比如猴子或熊)留下的。

【小題12】“普通的腳印”看起來不“普通”,是因?yàn)槠湓谘├锶诨儭按蟆绷恕?/p>

【小題13】前文介紹了一些人腳印的判斷,而后文是一位俄國科學(xué)家的新發(fā)現(xiàn)。故判斷出兩部分之間應(yīng)用 however轉(zhuǎn)折。

【小題14】real意為“真的,存在的”。

【小題15】前面提到過,當(dāng)?shù)厝说陌l(fā)現(xiàn)和傳說沒有證據(jù)可依,這一次“又”是如此。

【小題16】沒有證據(jù)被實(shí)際記載。

【小題17】take … seriously意為“把……當(dāng)回事(嚴(yán)肅認(rèn)真對待)”。

【小題18】succeed in doing意為“成功地做成某事”。

【小題19】face a problem意為“面臨問題”。    

【小題20】前文提到這種生物“半人半獸”,那么如果人們真的抓住一個,將面臨的問題是:把它放到動物園(當(dāng)它是動物?)還是在旅館里給它一個房間(當(dāng)它是人?)

The run-up to the launch of China's first lunar orbiter at the end of this month has caught the country's imagination, with more than two thirds of the nation hoping to see the launch live on TV, according to a survey.                              

According to the survey by China Youth Daily and www.qq.com, almost the entire nation hopes to catch images of the event at some point, with 99 percent of the 10358 respondents saying they expected to witness the satellite launch and 68.9 percent said they were certain to watch the live broadcast of the launch. On www.qq.com and www.sina.com, two popular web portals in the country, internet users have contributed some 2,000 poems and 5000 drawings on the theme of Chang'e I.

"The satellite launch means much more than just saying 'hello' to the moon. Maybe in the future we could also send some people to accompany sister 'Chang'e'," said a college student in the survey.

Remarkably, many people expect to visit the moon one day, with 93.4 percent of respondents saying they expected to do so.

Chang'e I is named after Chang'e, a famous character from Chinese mythology. She ascended from earth to live on the moon as a celestial being after drinking an elixir.

There is also another connection between the moon and China. In the 1970s, a crater on the moon was named after a Chinese stargazer, Wan Hu, who is said to be the first astronaut in human history.

Legend says about 600 years ago, around the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Wan Hu, a local government official, tried to fly into space with the help of a chair, two big kites and 47 self-made gunpowder-filled rockets. According to the legend after the rockets were lit there was a huge bang and lots of smoke. When the smoke cleared Wan was nowhere to be found.

China's first astronaut flew into space in 2003 with the launch of the Chinese-made spaceship Shenzhou V. China became the third country, after the Soviet Union and the United States, to carry out manned space missions.

Which is true according to the passage?

 A. According to a survey, two thirds of the nation are hoping to see the launch live on TV,

 B. The internet users have drawn some 5000 pictures of ‘Chang’e’.

C. Wan Hu, a Chinese stargazer(n. 看星星的人,占星師,天文學(xué)家) , was dead after the huge bang and a lot of smoke.

 D. China’s first astronaut flew into space in 2003 in the spaceship Shenzhou VI.

What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 5?

A. a kind of medicine for long life. B. a kind of medicine to make you light enough to fly in the air.

C. a kind of wine               D. a kind of alcohol.

Why was Wan Hu said to be the first astronaut in human history?

 A. Because a crater on the moon was named after his name.

 B. Because he was the first to go to the moon in his own “spaceship”.

 C. Because of his courage for scientific experiment to the moon.

 D. Because he made the first rocket in human history.
