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.

选项 A、activity

C、bird
D、fellow
答案 C
解析    本题考点为指称重复。关键性词语的重复(同义词、近义词、反义词、上义词和下义词)是句内和篇章衔接的重要手段。
   (1)句式分析。
   原句The______had made a game of them是个简单句，The+空白处需填入的名词作主语，had made是谓语，a game of them是宾语。
   (2)句意判断。
   根据本段首句可知，这一段是关于火鸡伪装逃生技能的例子。依据上下文可知，这两句意为“那两个猎人的愤怒可想而知，竟然被这几只鸟给耍了”。“这几只鸟”指文章主题火鸡。另外第一段最后一句话it puts on the tame…the domesticated bird以及本段最后一句话Such birds Wheaton would have called…中已经出现过bird一词，而且bird与turkey是上、下义关系，故选bird。
