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、way
B、shape
C、sign
D、form
答案
D
解析
约翰.伯恩赛德要用他最新的短篇小说集《类似幸福》来打破这一成见,因此短篇小说集《类似幸福》是用来打破成见的形式,故应填入D项form“形式”,实际上condensed form是指短篇小说。A项way“路”和C项sign“符号”代入原文,均不能表示“短篇小说”,故排除; B项shape“外形”,常指外在的形状,不跟condensed(压缩的)连用,故排除。
