In 1951, a mountaineer called Eric Shipton was climbing with some friends in the Himalayas. 1. One day, they were surprised to see a line of big footprints in the snow.

The footprints looked like those of a person. But they were twice as wide! When Eric Shipton looked more closely at the prints in the snow, he was really surprised. The creature was walking barefoot(赤脚地) in the freezing snow! 2.
"No socks or boots(靴子)?" said Eric. "It can't be a person!" Eric knew that he and the other climbers would die without boots in the freezing temperature of the mountains.
In 1970, another mountaineer came close to a snowman. Don Whillans was climbing in the Himalayas with some guides. One of the guides shouted, "Yeti coming!"
3. He saw a big black creature going behind the mountain.
The next day, Don walked behind the mountain and saw the creature's footprints in the snow. They were about the same size as his boot prints—not as big as the footprints Eric Shipton saw.
Later that night, Don was sitting quietly in his tent. 4. Suddenly, he saw the creature again—it was near the tent! The creature went over to some trees and started to pull the branches(树枝).
Don was surprised and excited, and he wanted to see more. He put out his hand to get his camera. But the creature heard something or saw Don moving. 5. Soon it was gone again. Don never saw the yeti again.

6. 拓展迁移 Do you believe there is a yeti? Why or why not?

7. 拓展迁移 What can we learn from the two mountaineers' stories?

1. F 由“希普顿与一些朋友在喜马拉雅山脉进行攀登”可知，下文表示:他们想要研究这个奇特而美丽的地方。
2. B 上文提及“这个生物在冰冷的雪地里赤脚行走"，下文对应表示:能清晰地看到每一个脚趾。
3. A 下文提及“他看到一个巨大的黑色生物正在山后走"，上文对应表示:他立刻抬头看去。
4. E 由“那天晚上，唐静静地坐在他的帐篷里"可知，下文表示:他望着外面明亮的月光。
5. D 下文提及“那个生物很快又消失了"，上文对应表示:它很快跑到山那边去不见了。
6. 【拓展迁移】No, I don't. Because there is no clear evidence to prove its existence.(言之有理即可)
7. 【拓展迁移】We should keep exploring the unknown and be brave to find the truth.(言之有理即可)
