Short stories are due a revival. In recent years, there have been critically【C1】________collections by American writers such as Lydia Davis and Junot Diaz. But few others manage to【C2】________the bestseller lists, and they are all too often【C3】________by novels.【C4】________their heyday in the early 20th century, short stories are mostly viewed as trials or experiments before an author【C5】________with the real thing.
John Burnside, a Scottish poet and novelist,【C6】________, this fixed idea in his latest collection, "Something Like Happy". Over 13 stories, Mr Burnside shows the versatility of the condensed【C7】________His stories take place mostly in Scotland, in flats "high up on the third floor of an apartment block in the middle of Dundee" or in the back room of a hardware shop,【C8】________men drink "sweet, milky coffee"【C9】________waiting for the results of the races.

【C15】
选项
A、exclusions
B、substitutions
C、descriptions
D、exceptions
答案
D
解析
空格所在句的短语为插入语,是对never allows that to happen(从不允许这种情况出现)的补充说明,所以D项exceptions“例外”符合文意。A项exclusions“排除”;B项substitutions“替补”和C项descriptions“描述”代入原文后,与never allows that to happen句意差别较大,不适合作其补充说明,故均排除。
