Chinese scientists are again becoming excited about the 1 that a large hairy animals may live in central China. Now they hope it won’t be too long before they are able to 2 its existence. Their confidence is the 3 of a new discovery of the mystery animal in Hubei Province.

　　The Chinese 4 enjoying a holiday in 5 National Forest Park, were driving down a road. As their bus turned a corner, the men were suddenly 6 by what they saw. Three 7 animal, covered with long dark hair, were crossing the roads. On seeing the animal, the engineers immediately stopped and 8 them. 9 , when they saw how the animals moved through the forest with great 10 and strength, they did not dare to 11 any further.

　　The men did not take any 12 However, scientists are 13 by the discovery, because the engineers were all well-educated people and scientists feel they can 14 what they described.

　　 15 the discovery, scientists returned to the forest and 16 some hair and measured footprints. About 20 inches appears to be the length of the animal’s 17 ! Chinese scientists have now set up a special group to exchange information and make a 18 of the forest. But in the meantime, some people 19 to believe that this half-man, half-monkey exists. They will not believe that it is 20 until one of the animals has been caught.

Answer 1

答案：A;A;C;B;C;B;C;D;A;B;B;D;B;A;D;C;A;B;D;C
解析：

(1) A 閱讀全文可知，空白后的a large hairy animal may live in central China敘述的是一個可能存在的事實，故此空應填fact，為連詞that所引導的同位語從句所修飾的先行詞。(2) A 后邊一句中的a new discovery of the mystery animal in Hubei Province，為證明a large hairy animal的存在提供了證據，故此空應填prove。(3) C 科學家們對于體形龐大的多毛動物的存在有信心，是由于新發現的結果。(4) B 下文的the engineers immediately stopped and ran after them以及because the engineers were all well-educated people已做出了提示。(5) C National Forest Park是第一次提到的地點，并非特指，其前須加不定冠詞。(6) B 后邊一句中Three tall animals，covered with long dark hair，是在國家森林公園里度假的工程師們從來沒有看到過的動物，所以對這種神秘的動物的突然出現感到吃驚。(7) C 這里是描述動物體形的，只有填入形容詞tall才能與上文中的a large hairy animal所描述的形態相吻合。(8) D 下文中的they did not dare to follow any further所表示的轉折意義表明，此空應填ran after，意思是“追趕”。(9) A 前句敘述了On seeing the animals, the engineer immediately stopped and ran after them. 空白后的句子表示的是轉折意義，空白后又有逗號隔開，由此可判斷出此空應填轉折意義的副詞However，在句中作插入語。(10) B with great speed以極快的速度。speed前用great修飾，前邊用介詞with；speed前用high修飾，前邊用介詞at。(11) B 前文已經敘述了On seeing the animals, the engineers immediately stopped and ran after them. 由下一句中However所表示的轉折意義及工程師們所看到的情況，可以判斷出此空應填follow，意為“追趕”。(12) D take photographs意為“照相”，是固定的動詞短語，由下文scientists feel they can rely on what they described，可以推斷出，工程師們并沒有給所見到的神秘動物拍照。(13) B 科學家們雖然沒有見到神秘動物的照片，然而他們認為，工程師們是受過良好教育的人，他們所描述的情況是可靠的。因此科學家們對此發現感到高興，故此空應填delighted。(14) A 四個選項的短語動詞所表示的意思不同：rely on依靠，指望；deal with對付，處理；write down寫下來；pass on傳遞，轉達。由原因狀語從句中的前一個并列分句the engineers were all well educated people可以判斷出，工程師們的話是信得過的，故答案選A。(15) D 這里敘述的是動作發生的時間順序。科學家們返回森林進行研究的動作，發生在工程師們發現這種動物之后，故此空應填介詞after，表示“……之后”。(16) C 下文Chinese scientists have now set up a special group to exchange information表明，這里指“采集”動物的毛發以供研究，故填collected。(17) A 四個選項均為表示人體和人體部位的名詞，但根據上文scientists returned to the forest and collected some hair and measured footprints，可以確定，該句說的20英寸是指動物腳的長度。(18) D 四個選項的名詞填入空白和make相搭配，構成不同意義的動詞短語：make a film拍電影；make a tour旅游；make a choice選擇；make a study研究。該句敘述了Chinese scientists have now set up a special group這一事實，再根據作目的狀語的前一個不定式to exchange information可判斷出，此空應填study，說明“a special group”的職能是用來交換信息和研究森林。(19) B 上文敘述了工程師見到了體軀龐大的多毛動物，但由于這些動物過路時速度過快沒有追趕上。再根據短文最后一句They will not believe that it is real until one of the animals has been caught. 就可以判斷出，一些人并不相信這些半人半猿動物的存在，故此空應填refuse，意為“不肯（相信）”。(20) C 這句話是說“直到其中一個動物已經被捉拄，人們才開始相信這種動物是真的”。故此空應填real，在句中的賓語從句中作表語。
