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、goes
B、comes
C、ties
D、excludes
答案
C
解析
根据后句“如果在其他人的笔下,这可能会变得多愁善感”,说明本短篇小说集的主题是积极的。空格处填入动词作定语从句的谓语,表明主语the subject与宾语collection的关系,即 “‘幸福’是贯穿这本短篇小说集的主题”,选项中只有ties“把……联系在一起”代入原文,符合语义,故答案选C项。A项goes和B项comes均为不及物动词,不能直接连接宾语,故排除;将D项excludes“排除”代入原文,句意不通,故排除。
