问题     Many people in the literary would say that British literature has lost its【C1】______nowadays. Many others【C2】______with this opinion. But what is not【C3】______doubt is that a lot of the exciting new literature published in Britain in recent years【C4】______been written by people from outside Britain. Since 1981, nine of the fourteen winners of the Booker Prize, an important prize【C5】______a work of fiction, were writers from【C6】______British colonies like India.
【C7】______many of the best ’serious’ British writers manage to be popular as well as pro found, the vast【C8】______of the books could not be classified as ’serious’ literature. Britain is the home of【C9】______might be called ’middlebrow’ literature.(That is, mid-way between serious and popular fiction)Many British authors write novels【C10】______as ’romances’ , one of the middlebrow types. The British publisher which sells more books than any other is Mills & Boon,【C11】______books are exclusively【C12】______this type.
    Poetry at the end or the twentieth century is【C13】______popular in Britain after it stopped being the normal【C14】______of literary self-expression 200 years ago.  Books for poetry sell【C15】______comparatively large numbers. Their sales are not【C16】______as large as sales of novels, but they are large【C17】______for a few small publishers to【C18】______entirely on publishing poetry. Many of these poems are not academics and they are【C19】______to non-specialists. Perhaps the ’pop’ idiom and the easy【C20】______of sound recording have made more people comfortable with spoken verse.
【C16】
选项 A、hardly
B、nearly
C、barely
D、merely
答案B
解析 考察段落意思的把握和词语辨析，首先根据文章意思来判断，这里要表达的是“诗歌类书籍的销量不如小说”这样一个意思，在选项之中的四个词语之中，not nearly可以表示“远远不如”的意思，not merely A表示“不止有A”的意思，而barely和merely一般不和not连用，而是在肯定的句式中使用。
