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.
【C17】
选项 A、rushed
B、squeezed
C、followed
D、went
答案A
解析 rushed“冲”比followed“跟随”和went“走”更有表现力，因为rushed最能表现火鸡为食物争先恐后的情态，因此选A。squeeze through指“费力地、艰难地挤过某个狭小的地方”，这里选squeezed也讲得通，不过，考虑到这里是引诱火鸡进来的陷阱，因此让火鸡费力挤进来不太符合陷阱的设定，让火鸡快速冲进来，效率更高，对比之下，选rushed比较好。
