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 阅读全文可知，空白后的a large hairy animal may live in central China叙述的是一个可能存在的事实，故此空应填fact，为连词that所引导的同位语从句所修饰的先行词。(2) A 后边一句中的a new discovery of the mystery animal in Hubei Province，为证明a large hairy animal的存在提供了证据，故此空应填prove。(3) C 科学家们对于体形庞大的多毛动物的存在有信心，是由于新发现的结果。(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是第一次提到的地点，并非特指，其前须加不定冠词。(6) B 后边一句中Three tall animals，covered with long dark hair，是在国家森林公园里度假的工程师们从来没有看到过的动物，所以对这种神秘的动物的突然出现感到吃惊。(7) C 这里是描述动物体形的，只有填入形容词tall才能与上文中的a large hairy animal所描述的形态相吻合。(8) D 下文中的they did not dare to follow any further所表示的转折意义表明，此空应填ran after，意思是“追赶”。(9) A 前句叙述了On seeing the animals, the engineer immediately stopped and ran after them. 空白后的句子表示的是转折意义，空白后又有逗号隔开，由此可判断出此空应填转折意义的副词However，在句中作插入语。(10) B with great speed以极快的速度。speed前用great修饰，前边用介词with；speed前用high修饰，前边用介词at。(11) B 前文已经叙述了On seeing the animals, the engineers immediately stopped and ran after them. 由下一句中However所表示的转折意义及工程师们所看到的情况，可以判断出此空应填follow，意为“追赶”。(12) D take photographs意为“照相”，是固定的动词短语，由下文scientists feel they can rely on what they described，可以推断出，工程师们并没有给所见到的神秘动物拍照。(13) B 科学家们虽然没有见到神秘动物的照片，然而他们认为，工程师们是受过良好教育的人，他们所描述的情况是可靠的。因此科学家们对此发现感到高兴，故此空应填delighted。(14) A 四个选项的短语动词所表示的意思不同：rely on依靠，指望；deal with对付，处理；write down写下来；pass on传递，转达。由原因状语从句中的前一个并列分句the engineers were all well educated people可以判断出，工程师们的话是信得过的，故答案选A。(15) D 这里叙述的是动作发生的时间顺序。科学家们返回森林进行研究的动作，发生在工程师们发现这种动物之后，故此空应填介词after，表示“……之后”。(16) C 下文Chinese scientists have now set up a special group to exchange information表明，这里指“采集”动物的毛发以供研究，故填collected。(17) A 四个选项均为表示人体和人体部位的名词，但根据上文scientists returned to the forest and collected some hair and measured footprints，可以确定，该句说的20英寸是指动物脚的长度。(18) D 四个选项的名词填入空白和make相搭配，构成不同意义的动词短语：make a film拍电影；make a tour旅游；make a choice选择；make a study研究。该句叙述了Chinese scientists have now set up a special group这一事实，再根据作目的状语的前一个不定式to exchange information可判断出，此空应填study，说明“a special group”的职能是用来交换信息和研究森林。(19) B 上文叙述了工程师见到了体躯庞大的多毛动物，但由于这些动物过路时速度过快没有追赶上。再根据短文最后一句They will not believe that it is real until one of the animals has been caught. 就可以判断出，一些人并不相信这些半人半猿动物的存在，故此空应填refuse，意为“不肯（相信）”。(20) C 这句话是说“直到其中一个动物已经被捉拄，人们才开始相信这种动物是真的”。故此空应填real，在句中的宾语从句中作表语。
