    The modern【C1】______of Andersen is of a simple, innocent, child-like spinner of tales. Letters and diaries by Andersen,【C2】______, draw the picture of a very different man: a(an)【C3】______intelligent, ambitious writer with a miserable past, a love of high society, and a【C4】______soul. Andersen’s fairy tales【C5】______much more than magical adventures, full of characters【C6】______on Andersen’s own life and from the many worlds he traveled through in his【C7】______life’s journey. Like the ugly duckling, born in a【C8】______duck-yard, Andersen was born the son of a poor cobbler (鞋匠) in the city of Odense. At the age of 14, he left home and Odense【C9】______, traveling alone to Copenhagen to make his fame and【C10】______. Andersen began to write fairy tales at the age of 29, with great excitement. The tales were revolutionary for several reasons. Across Europe, the field of children’s fiction was still in its very early【C11】______and was still【C12】______by dull, religious stories mainly【C13】______to teach moral values.
    Andersen’s【C14】______tales were rich as chocolate cake after a diet of wholesome gruel (稀粥) , and the narrative voice spoke familiarly, warmly to children,【C15】______than scolding to them from on high. And unlike the folk tales collected by the Grimms,【C16】______in distant lands once upon a time, Andersen made his tales in Copenhagen and other familiar,【C17】______settings, mixed fantastical descriptions with ordinary ones, and【C18】______everyday household objects with【C19】______and magic. Even the language of the stories was fresh and【C20】______.
【C8】
选项 A、general
B、coarse
C、clumsy
D、humble
答案D
解析 形容词辨义题。后面提到“安徒生出生于欧登塞市一个贫穷的鞋匠家庭”，humble与ugly，poor形成对应，指安徒生与丑小鸭的境遇相似，故为答案。general“一般的，普通的”；coarse“粗糙的，粗俗的”，一般指某物质地低劣或加工不精致；clumsy“笨拙的”，均不符合文意，故排除。
