C．chose D．visited
答案　B　[考查语境推断。根据文章中的“One day I was driving to the marsh(湿地)for bird－watching”可知，有一天作者开车去沼泽地观鸟。显然，此句的意思是“当我快到(approached)目的地时”，故选B。而seek寻找，choose选择，visit参观，均不符合文章的意思。]

C．decrease D．disappear
答案　A　[考查语境推断。根据前面的“The weather forecast called for the possibility of fog”可知，天气预报说可能有雾。显然要用rise，意思是“雾开始逐渐变大”，故选A。而lift举起，decrease减少，disappear消失，均不符合文章的意思。]
