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?)
