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.

选项
A、acquire
B、earn
C、reach
D、meet
答案
C
解析
文章前面提到美国作家(如莉迪亚.戴维斯和朱诺特.迪亚兹)也写过一些广受好评的短篇小说集,之后用转折词But连接,说明前后句之间为转折关系,空格处填入的动词与bestseller lists构成动宾搭配,句中的主语是其他短篇小说,而书籍一般是“登上”畅销书的行列,故答案选C项reach“到达”。另外A项acquire和B项earn为近义词,均指“得到,获得”;D项meet意为“遇到;满足”,这三项均不能与“畅销书单”进行搭配,故排除。
