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、out
B、down
C、on
D、of
答案 A
解析    本题考点为词语搭配。
   (1)句式分析。
   原句中，never once looking down and passing______by the way…是现在分词短语作状语，其中by the way they had come in是方式状语，looking down和passing______是并列的现在分词短语，由looking down所用的现在分词+副词结构可知，passing______一定也是现在分词+副词这种结构，即passing后要填入的是一个副词，表示从……中出去，故本题填out。
   (2)句意判断。
   依据上下文可知，这些进入畜栏的火鸡到死都没有注意到它们进来时的那条通道，并从那里出去。由此可判断，此句意为“当大半的火鸡进入畜栏，吃光谷粒后，它们便试图从里面出来，它们在畜栏的顶部和四周白费力气，却从未低下头看看进来时的路，就这样它们在畜栏里困了好几天，直到最后饿死在里面”。选项中的介词只有out与pass搭配表示“从……中出去”，故填out。
   【知识拓展】词汇拓展。
   与pass相关的表达：pass to转到，讨论；pass out昏倒，失去知觉，分发；pass down传下来，遗传，继承；pass on传递，继续，去世；pass off(以某种方式)发生并完成；pass away去世；pass over越过，忽略；pass by从……旁边经过；pass for冒充，假扮，被认为；pass through通过，经历，遭受。
