对于古埃及的农民来说，______尼罗河泛滥的规律是性命攸关的大事，因此他们______着去计算天数，小心地记录日期。他们把月亮和星星作为日历。当天狼星在夏天升起的时候，古埃及人知道尼罗河就要泛滥了;接着当新月的时候，就是古埃及新一年的开始。 依次填入划横线部分最恰当的一项是()。
A.揭示 尝试
B.遵循 坚持
C.总结 学习
D.掌握 摸索
参考答案：D
解析：解析 根据文段语境可知，由“因此……计算天数，小心地记录日期”可知，古埃及的农民并没有把握尼罗河泛滥的规律，因此“揭示”、“遵循”不符合句意，排除A、B，“学习”一般用于学习已知事物，“摸索”则用于未知事物，第二个空根据文段语境，选择“摸索”，更符合句意，故答案为D选项。 考点：实词填空
