问题     Something kept scratching on the outside of the tent. I wouldn’t have thought much about it【C1】______I hadn’t recently seen a ridiculously【C2】______film on television in which a monster tried to get into its【C3】______bedroom by scratching on the door with its claw-like hands. A stupid【C4】______, but it kept coming back,【C5】______sleep. When a cry rang out across the moor I crawled out to see what it was all about.
    In a small tent this is less easy than it【C6】______. After【C7】______yourself from a cocoon-like sleeping-bag, you have to【C8】______with the zip-fas-teners of the tent from a kneeling【C9】______outside all seemed in order. The【C10】______noise came from clumps of spiky rushes【C11】______blown by the wind【C12】______the canvas. The only【C13】______I have for the eerie cries is that overhead may have passed a(n)【C14】______flock of stone curlews, birds which make a diabolical noise.
    The moon was the colour of a corpse. Uncomforted, I crept back into the tent. Dawn was pretty dreary , too. Flocks of drifting clouds had settled down low【C15】______the horizon, jostling each other, uneasily, like sheep undecided what to do next. Hoping fervently they would push off, I paced【C16】______and walked on, taking the left【C17】______of the River Tavy, looking for its junction with the tributary that led to Great Kneeset. Nattor Down loomed up where it should have been, but another apparently unmapped hill popped【C18】______on the opposite side of the torrent, rather spoiling my simple conception of the landscape.
    The going became difficult,【C19】______a great deal of the stuff they call clitter, the rubble from the outcrops of granite, had fallen down into the gorge. But the compass【C20】______the heading and I scrambled along as fast as I could in weather that seemed to be worsening. I decided to make for some high place where I could look around and see whether it looked safe to go on.
【C13】
选项 A、reason
B、cause
C、explanation
D、excuse
答案C
解析 此处指作者对奇怪的叫声做出自己的解释，但并来看到任何证据，所以reason、cause都不可用。
