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. His men carry knives or conduct extramarital【C10】________; his women are often【C11】________housewives who drink, take up bell-ringing in their local church or fantasise about younger men【C12】________a way of filling in time.
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. Instead, happiness【C16】________stays away from these figures; so much【C17】________they have almost ceased to【C18】________it.

【C4】
选项
A、In addition to
B、Similar to
C、In place of
D、In contrast to
答案
D
解析
该句前半句提到20世纪初时是短篇小说的全盛时期,后半句说如今的短篇小说风光不再,两者情况相反,故应填入具有对比关系的D项In contrast to,句意为“与20世纪初时短篇小说的全盛时期相比,如今的短篇小说风光不再”。另外A项In addition to“除……之外 (还)”表示对情况的补充说明,B项Similar to表示“与……相似”;C项In place of表示 “代替”,这三项均不能表达“对比”关系,因此均排除。
