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、shift
B、use
C、fun
D、believe
答案 D
解析    本题考点为语境推理和复合词。
   (1)句式分析。
   原句是简单句，代词it指上句中的the wild turkey，to have learned动词不定式的完成式作主语补语，而a game of make-______作宾语。由a game of可知，要填入的词与make构成合成词作介词of的宾语。make-believe n．意为“假装，假扮者”，因此，可以断定此处应填believe。
   (2)句意判断。
   根据首句可知，本文是关于火鸡逃避追捕时所采用的伎俩以及结果。首句已经提到，为了躲避追捕，火鸡已经进化出一种本领，由此可以猜想下文应该会对这种能力做进一步说明。阅读后文可知这种能力是伪装。make believe是固定搭配，意为“假装，伪装”，由此断定这句话意为“它们似乎学会了伪装"。
