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 【C16】________, 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] 【C7】

选项 A、reached
B、approached
C、topped
D、mounted

答案 D

解析前面有walked，后面有disappeared，可见空格处和这两个动词构成一连串动作，由后面的寅语fence可推测火鸡要从栅栏上跳过，因此用mounted。reached“到达某地”和approached“接近”填入空格处也讲得通，不过这两个动作其实是walked的一部分，再专门列出有些累赘，因此reached和approached不如mounted好。topped为……之首，胜过。
