问题    Hunted as the wild turkey is, it has developed a high degree of ingenuity in escaping from its pursuers. It appears to have learned a game of make-【C1】______. When caught 【C2】______ close quarters, it puts on the tame and【C3】______ demeanor of the domesticated bird.
   Dr. Wheaton mentions a case【C4】______ two hunters of his acquaintance came suddenly upon a【C5】______ of five in the road. They seemed quite【C6】______, walked deliberately in front of the two gunners, 【C7】______ a fence, and disappeared slowly 【C8】______ a low hill. Then they【C9】______ to their legs, and presently to their wings, and soon placed a wide【C10】______ between themselves and their dupes. The chagrin of the sportsmen may be imagined. The【C11】______ had made a game of them. Such birds Wheaton would have called "【C12】______ civilized".
   Yet turkeys are wise in some respects and foolish in others. In old times, at【C13】______, great numbers were caught in【C14】______ built of logs, the only entrance【C15】______which was through a shallow, narrow trench. The【C16】______ birds, following the corn which had been scattered in the trench, 【C17】______ through the entrance; when perhaps half a dozen of them were inside, and the bait was all eaten, they tried in【C18】______ to get out through the top or sides of the pen, never once looking down and passing【C19】______ by the way they had come in, even though they might remain in the trap for several days, or until they【C20】______ of hunger.

D、mounted
答案 D
解析    本题考点为语境推理和词义辨析。
   (1)句式分析。
   原句They seemed…，walked…，______a fence，and disappeared slowly…的谓语是一个平行结构，四个动词seemed，walked，disappeared和本题需要填入的动词并列在一起作谓语。可见，这道题需要填入这五只火鸡发出的一连串动作之一，并与a fence(篱笆)搭配，表示“翻过篱笆”之意，应选mounted。
   (2)句意判断。
   首段告诉我们，为了逃避追捕者，火鸡进化出逃生的智谋，为了避开近旁的危险，它们会伪装出很驯顺、无辜的样子。为此，举了第二段这个例子，描述火鸡在碰到猎人时，伪装出的一系列动作。由此推断，本句意为“它们看上去若无其事，从容不迫地走在猎人前面，翻过篱笆，慢慢消失在山那边”。
