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、most
B、least
C、present
D、best
答案 B
解析    本题考点为固定搭配。
   (1)句式分析。
   原句采用了被动式，描述火鸡过去的情况。In old times和at______是状语，great numbers是主语，指great numbers of turkeys，谓语是were caught，in+名词作地点状语，过去分词短语built of logs作与in搭配的名词的定语，the only enhance…是定语从句，限定与in搭配的名词。
   (2)句意判断。
   第一段和第二段告诉我们火鸡很会伪装逃生，因而惠顿博士称它们为半进化的鸟。本段首句说“火鸡有时候很聪明，有时候却又很愚蠢”。据此可知，此句意为“至少过去是这样的，常有大量的火鸡被关进木制的畜栏里，进入畜栏的唯一入口是一条狭窄的壕沟”。at least是固定搭配，意为“至少，起码"，因此，此处应该填least。
