问题     He has been called the "missing link" Half-man, half-beast. He is supposed to live in the highest mountain in the world — Mount Everest.
    He is known as the Abominable Snowman. The【C1】______of the Snowman has been around for【C2】______. Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest. The native people said they【C3】______this creature and called it the " Yeti" , and they said that they had【C4】________caught Yetis on two occasions【C5】______none has ever been produced as evidence(证据).
    Over the years, the story of the Yetis has【C6】______. In 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest. Shipton believed that they were not【C7】______the tracks of a monkey or bear and【C8】______that the Abominable Snowman might really【C9】______.
    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. But,【C15】______, no evidence has ever【C16】______been produced.

【C4】

选项 A、even
B、hardly
C、certainly
D、probably

答案A

解析 词义比较前后照应,上文已有一系列人们对于Yeti的关系和行为:比较finding marks…,knew of….called it…。与此处had caught Yet is on two occasions之间的语义,用even(甚至于)表现出了这两个行为的递进关系,使人注意到话语中令人吃惊的地方。hardly表否定,不像此处当地人的口气;certainly虽为肯定,但表达了一种“理所当然”的口气,难与前一行为动作(knew of this creature)相衔接;probably表示一种可能,也只是不确定的语气。
