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. [br] 【C20】
选项
A、perished
B、reminded
C、notified
D、informed
答案
A
解析
本题考点为词语搭配。
(1)句式分析。
原句中,until they______of hunger是时间状语从句,在until这个引起的时间状语从句中,they是主语,要填入的动词作谓语,与of搭配,表示因……而死亡。perish of相当于die of,故填perished。
(2)句意判断。
根据上文,此句意为“……就这样它们困了好几天也没有逃出去,直到最后饿死在里面”。
【知识拓展】(1)解题技巧。
从语境出发,根据文章的中心、上下文的意思,确定空白处的意思,然后将选项逐一代入原句,经过词义辨析,选出与其前后词语搭配适当且合乎语境的选项。
(2)词汇拓展:die,decease,expire,perish与pass away。
①die:最普通用词,指某人或某物失去生命而永远不存在。
②deceased:正式用词,多指法律上的用语。
③expire:委婉用词,从本义“从肺部吐出气来”引申为吐出最后一口气,断气而死。
④perish:书面用词,多指夭折或不幸暴亡。
⑤pass away:die的委婉用法。
