本文主要向人們講述有關 Snowman 的一些情況，這種非人非獸的動物到底是否真的存許多人看法不一，盡管有人說他們看到了甚至抓到了 Snowman，但實際上卻沒有相應的證據。
1. B。根據下文中 Over the years, the story of the Yetis has continued. 和 These days, only a few people continue to take the story of the Abominable Snowman seriously 可知此題應填 story。
2. D。比較四個選項并根據下文的 in the 1920s 這一信息，可知此題選 D 最佳。
3. C。指當地人聽說過(know of)這種動物。其他幾項均不合句意，注意不要選 A，hear from 的意思是“收到…的來信”，但若改為 hear of 則可以。
4. A。even 用于加強語氣，意為“甚至”。
5. B。前面說 they had even caught Yetis on two occasions，而后面又說none has ever been produced as evidence，比較四個選項，只有選though 意義才最合適。
6. D。文章第1段說Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest，第2段又說 In 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest，有關 Yetis 的傳說在繼續(continue)流傳。
7. D。比較四個選項的意思：entirely=整個地；naturally=自然地；clearly=清楚地；simply=只是，僅僅。同時結合本句語境以下與下文 the Abominable snowman might really exist 的邏輯關系，選項 D 最合適。
8. C。此處的 felt 與前一句的 believed 大致同義，均表示當事人的主觀判斷。
9. A。Shipton 認為那不僅僅是猴子或熊的足跡，也就是說他認為 Abominable Snowman 真正存在的可能性。
10. B。根據文章第2段中的 Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest，以及 Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis 和其后的 Most believe the footprints are nothing more than ordinary animal tracks 可知此題填 more 最佳。
11. C。本句語境為：大多數人認為這不過是普通(ordinary)野獸的足跡�？崭袂暗� nothing more than 意為“和…一樣”。
12. B。根據常識并比較四個選項，可知選項 B 最合適。注意空格后的 As they melted and refroze in the snow 說明了人們發現的腳印要比普通的動物足跡大的原因。
13. D。下句說 in 1964, a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was real and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans，這與句說的“大部分人認為腳印只不過是普通動物的足跡”為轉折關系，故填 However。
14. B。前后兩句意思轉折，看法相反——即蘇聯科學家認為 Abominable Snowman 的確存在。
15. 第4至5空處說“有人說他們有兩次還捉住了 Yetis 但是沒有證據”，此處又說“沒有證據”，故填 again。
16. B。比較四個選項，此處填 actually(實際上)較合適。
17. C。由于找不到雪人存在的證據，現在人們對有關雪人的故事已經冷淡下來，只有很少人認真對待此事。take sth seriously 意為“認真對待某事”。
18. A。四個選項后均可接動名詞，但意義不同：succeed in doing sth=成功地做好某事，insist on doing sth=堅持做某事，depend on doing sth=依靠做某事，join in doing sth=參加做某事。結合下文語境，此題選 A 最佳。
19. D。冒號后引出的是一個“問題”，故填 problem。
20. A。由于雪人是 Half-man, half-beast，所以若真的抓到了雪人，那到底是應將其當作 beast 關時動物園呢，還是將其當作 man 讓其住進賓館？——這倒真是個問題。

US bees operation keeping groups have been attacked seriously by so called Colony （群體）Collapse Disorder．Almost 1/2 of their worker bees have vanished during the past season．This disorder 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^^}） by bees to help them grow．

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 |
| 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. |
