11、l clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time.可知很多鸽子都被捕捉并杀死卖往餐厅。所以该词应该是指鸽子遇见了毁灭性的打击。故 B正确。26. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据第二段最后一句 The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.3可知鸽子被捕捉并背运往大城市卖给了各个餐厅，说明人们捕捉鸽子是为了挣钱。故

14、making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world充当的是结果状语，表示意料之中的结果。当鸽子的数量达到了 30亿只，毫无疑问它是世界上数量最多的鸟。不定式做结果状语时，常常表示意料之外的结果。2.
