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.

Happiness is the subject that【C13】________the collection together. In other hands, this could become sentimental.【C14】________Mr Burnside, with only a few【C15】________, never allows that to happen.

选项
A、reclaimed
B、acclaimed
C、proclaimed
D、claimed
答案
B
解析
由首句的“短篇小说应该再度复兴”,可推断这里指这些短篇小说集是成功的,空格应填入形容词,说明这些短篇小说集的特点,同时根据后句“很少有其他短篇小说能跻身畅销书排行榜”,说明这个短篇小说集的反响特别好,故答案选B项acclaimed“备受赞扬的”。A项reclaimed“被回收的”;C项proclaimed“被公开的”和D项claimed“宣称的”代入原文均无法跟首句的“短篇小说应该再度复兴”衔接,故均排除。
