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、rushed
B、squeezed
C、followed
D、went
答案 A
解析    本题考点为语义推理和词义辨析。
   (1)句式分析。
   原句中，The______birds是主语，following the corn which had…是现在分词短语，作The______birds的定语。______through the entrance中，through the entrance前要填入的是动词，作本句的谓语。
   (2)句意判断。
   根据前一句…great numbers were caught…和后一句when perhaps half a dozen of them were inside…可知，这里指火鸡为了吃谷粒争相涌入畜栏，此处要填一个动词与through搭配表示快速通过，冲进，所以选rush。squeeze也有挤进的意思，但常与介词in／into搭配。因此，此句意为这些贪婪的鸟儿为了吃洒落在壕沟里的谷粒，相继涌入畜栏。
