18、mmerCautumn Dwinter答案：A 后文第 48 空前有关键信息 As spring went and summer came，因此这只松鸡是在春天步入我们的生活的。38A.got BkeptCnoticed Dimagined 答案：C 空前提到汤姆是在地里干活，所以他应该是无意当中注意到这只松鸡在地边上走来走去。notice 表示“无意当中注意到” ，符合语境。40A.naturally BcertainlyCnormally Dsurprisingly答案：D 前文第一段提到 they usually fly off when they hear human approach
