Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest.

    Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis. But the only things people have ever found were【C10】______footprints. Most believe the footprints are nothing more than【C11】______animal tracks, which had been made【C12】______as they melted(融化)and refroze in the snow.【C13】______, in 1964, a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was【C14】______and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans.

【C20】

选项 A、zoo
B、mountain
C、museum
D、laboratory

答案A

解析 前后照应逻辑推理常识运用,四个地点似乎都和雪人有关,但我们必须根据具体的语境来考虑。本句恰为本文的幽默所在,且与前文相呼应:开头段中提及雪人为half—man,half—beast(半兽半人),该处又出现与空缺处单词相对应的a room in a hotel(半人住的地方),因此答案应为zoo(半兽呆的场所)。是把它当作动物放在动物园里(zoo)呢,还是把它当作人在旅馆里给他布置好房间呢?
