解析：本文是一篇以介绍一种“半人半兽”的生物“Yeti”为主要内容的说明文；主要介绍了其特征、居住地以及关于它的传说故事。解题时，应先略读文章，了解大意；再细读文章，依次解题；最后通读全文，检查答案的准确性。
本题考查对文章的理解和词汇的意义，兼考惯用搭配、常识和语法。题1、2、10、11、12、14、偏20重于考查对文章内容的理解；题38、41、8、9、18、19考查词汇（包括词组、动词、名词）的辨析；题4、7、15、16、17要求根据文章内容判断适当的副词；题4、13考查连词。
1.B。后文叙述的是关于“Yeti”的传说故事，故选“story”。
2.D。从1920年开始被发现，至今应有“许多年了”。
3.C。当地人称这种生物为“Yeti”，肯定是“知道”它以及关于它的事。
4.A。“抓住”比“知道”更进一步，用“even”表示强调程度的加深。
5.B。“曾经抓到”与“没有证据”之间为转折关系，即：“虽然……但是……”。
6.D。第二段讲述了关于“Yeti”的一个传说故事，后文中将有新的介绍。故可知“故事”在“继续”。
7.D。“Shipton”相信这些“脚印”不简简单单为“猴子”或“熊”的脚印，故选“simply”。
8.C。“felt”与“believed”并列。
9.A。“Shipton”感觉这种动物可能真的存在。
10.B。人们发现的仅仅是“更多”的脚印。
11.C。许我人相信这些脚印只不过是那些普通动物（比如猴子或熊）留下的。
12.B。“普通的脚印”看起来不“普通”，是因为其在雪里融化而变“大”了。
13.D。前文介绍了一些人脚印的判断，而后文是一位俄国科学家的新发现。故判断出两部分之间应用“however”转折。
14.B。“real”意为“真的”、“存在的”。
15.C。前面提到过，当地人的发现和传说没有证据可依，这一次“又”是如此。
16.B。没有证据被实际记载。
17.C。“take … seriously”把……当回事（严肃认真对待）。
18.A。“Succeed in doing”成功地做成某事。
19.D。“face a problem”面临问题。
20.A。前文提到这种生物“半人半兽”，那么如果人们真的抓住一个，将面临的问题是：把它放到动物园（当它是动物？）还是在旅馆里给它一个房间（当它是人？）

解析：全文讲作者一次有趣的吃意大利面条的经历，偏巧老师让写作文，他便写了一篇文章，原想自己留着，另写篇上交。由于时间不够，他只好将原本想留给自己的文章上交了，没想到作文极为成功。
1.A。“Spaghetti”这个词使他想起了以前吃面条的事，所以用memory .
2.A。when引导定语从句，修饰前面的evening,意为“当时”。
3.B。那天晚上作者和其他一些亲属坐在桌边吃Aunt Pat所做的面条，此时的面条不是在加工厂制做当中，不用made，不是刚买到，不用got，也不是在厨房里煮制过程中，不用cooked,而是端到餐桌上了，故用served。serve除作“服务”解以外，还有“端上（饭菜）”之意。
4.D。“在那个时候”或“在那些日子”用in those days。
5.A。
6.B。作者从未吃过意大利面条，而在座的成年人也都不擅长/没吃过，所以才有下文有关怎样吃意大利面条才得体的令人发笑的争论。
7.D。上句提到没有吃意大利面条的经验，因而大家才会争论怎样吃。所以填arguments。
8.D。吃东西的方式和举止要得体，要符合一定的社会文化，所以填socially。
9.C。文章开头提到spaghetti一词使作者想起过去的经历，由这经历突然想到了作文题，他要写这一文题。填suddenly表思绪的突然过渡。
10.B。
11.D。“把……写下来/记下来”用“put sth.down”。写下这一经历自己欣赏和享用，故用“joy”。
12.C。上文说自己要写吃意大利面条的经历，写下来自己留着享用，不给作文老师。作文是要交的，那么就写点别的给他吧。“As for him”可译为“至于他吗”
13.A。写完那篇文章，到了半夜了（自己还要睡觉），也就没有时间写准备上交的作文了。
14.C。别无选择，只好“上交”（原本打算留给自己的）作品。“hand in”是“上交”的意思。上交了但作品还是自己的，故不算放弃，不选A。B和D离题较远。
15.B。老师把作文收上去，过了两天发下来，那么这两天老师把作文批改，给分（或定个等级），作文也就是“被给过等级”的作文了。
16.A。老师极为欣赏作者的作文，所以把它朗读给全班，故选A。C项有干扰性，但“publicly”与“to the whole class”重复，不可选。
17.C。因故事有趣，有人先笑了，接着全班都开怀大笑。“then”是“接着、然后”的意思。先有人笑，然后是全都笑，不能是“无人笑，接着全都笑”，过于突兀，排除B。由于作者早已知道故事情节，未必先笑，排除D, People一词太空泛，范围过大，不可选。
18.D。自己的作文得到老师和同学们的欣赏，自然高兴，但不能显露自己的得意，所以填pleasure。
19.B。虽尽量不显示自己的得意，但心中还是充满了快乐，因为自己的作品能使人开怀一笑。所以填for，是表原因的并列连词。
20.D。从全文可知，使人发出笑声，而不是使人兴奋/满意/思考。排除其他选项。

Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was 2, with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn't 3 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment（尴尬） at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof（证明）of how 4 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand.

I knew I was doing what I should, what I could 11 was enough. At that moment, feeling Mother's 12 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to 13. She was still my mother, 14 she was something 15: a person like me, capable of fear and 16 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 17 in her arms.
A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 18.
"It's a job I can do, though." She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very 19 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 20 away across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.
