问题 The cowbird can seem a rather comical creature with a slow, awkward walk and often upraised tail. Less (i)________is the cowbirds’ habit of laying their eggs in the nests of other birds. The (ii)________nesters will usually accept the cowbird egg and raise the baby cowbird as their own. Unfortunately, cowbird eggs hatch sooner than the eggs of other species and the young cowbirds (iii)________, using their size to their advantage in getting more food from the parents.
Blank (i)  Blank (ii)   Blank (iii)
A. amusing D. feckless  G. grow quickly
B. painful E. resistant H. leave the nest
C. galling F. unwitting I. share their food
选项
答案A,F,G
解析 第一句完整，说cowbird是相当滑稽的生物，有着缓慢笨拙的步姿和通常上翘的尾巴。后句说它把蛋下在别的鸟窝里就没有那么________。空格(i)同义重复了前文的comical，因此A项amusing(有趣的)符合。再看空格(ii)，accept the cowbird egg and raise the baby cowbird as their own(接受外来的鸟蛋并像对待它们自己的幼鸟一样抚养)与________nesters同义重复。空格(ii)是对nesters属性的判断，表示对外来蛋视如己出。选项D feckless(无用的)和E项resistant(反抗的)都不符合句意。选项E unwitting(不知情的)符合，表示这些鸟并不知情。空格(iii)的逻辑连接标志是逗号，表示前后重复。using their size to their advantage in getting more food from the parents，利用体型优势获取更多食物，必然长得更快，选项G符合。
