| 1．本句动词为has been around，意思是has existed，例如：
Mobile phones have been around(=existed)for quite a while． 从该动词语义的延续特征看，前面的主语(即此空中)不会是具体的某一项event(=anything that happened)；也不是一次adventure(=an unusual，exciting and possibly dangerous activity，journey，experience，etc)，因此，可以排除A、C两项。 如果说是the description(=what sth．／sb．is like)of the Snowman，也难以涵盖短文所讲述的内容，至少还有关于它的发现、踪迹等等，因此，也可以排除D项。 从本段与以下几段的内容看，讲述的都是有关the Snowman的传说，也就是story(=an account of events， real or imagined；注意是“一系列”events)。B项在语义和结构上都能满足要求，可为最佳答案。 下段开头也再次提及story，采用了“返指”手段，体现全文的呼应与一致。本题的解题思路说明，考生如能按照要求通读全文，具备一定的语篇意识，则能更为迅速准确地找到答案。 2．此处意为Snowman存在的故事已经流传已久，干扰项为A项centuries，因为珠峰附近人迹罕至，有人记述该故事?
