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、cracks up
B、cracks down
C、cracks into
D、cracks on
答案
D
解析
本句意为“人们现在大多认为短篇小说就是作家________前对真实事物的尝试或实验”,D项cracks on指“努力继续做”符合文意。而A项cracks u p“(体力、精神等)垮掉,吃不消”;B项cracks down“严厉打击”和C项cracks into“把……分裂为”代入空格,均句意不通,故排除。
