    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】______.
【C4】
选项 A、strained
B、irritated
C、twisted
D、tortured
答案D
解析 形容词辨义题。前文提到“安徒生早期家境贫寒”，因而肯定吃了不少苦，“灵魂饱受折磨”，tortured“受折磨的”符合题意。strained“紧张的，勉强的”；irritated“恼怒的，生气的”；twisted“扭曲的”，均不符合文意，故排除。
