    The modern【C1】______of Andersen is of a simple, innocent, child-like spinner of tales. Letters and diaries by Andersen,【C2】______, draw the picture of a very different man: a (an) 【C3】______intelligent, ambitious writer with a miserable past, a love of high society, and a 【C4】______soul. Andersen’s fairy tales【C5】______much more than magical adventures, full of characters【C6】______on Andersen’s own life and from the many worlds he traveled through in his【C7】______life’s journey. Like the ugly duckling, born in a【C8】______duck-yard, Andersen was born the son of a poor cobbler (鞋匠) in the city of Odense. At the age of 14, he left home and Odense【C9】______, traveling alone to Copenhagen to make his fame and【C10】______. Andersen began to write fairy tales at the age of 29, with great excitement. The tales were revolutionary for several reasons. Across Europe, the field of children’s fiction was still in its very early【C11】______and was still【C12】______by dull, religious stories mainly【C13】______to teach moral values.
    Andersen’s【C14】______tales were rich as chocolate cake after a diet of wholesome gruel (稀粥), and the narrative voice spoke familiarly, warmly to children,【C15】______than scolding to them from on high. And unlike the folk tales collected by the Grimms,【C16】______in distant lands once upon a time, Andersen made his tales in Copenhagen and other familiar,【C17】______settings, mixed fantastical descriptions with ordinary ones, and【C18】______everyday household objects with【C19】______and magic. Even the language of the stories was fresh and【C20】______.
【C16】
选项 A、raised
B、told
C、set
D、put
答案C
解析 动词辨义题。此句意为“格林兄弟搜集的民间故事通常发生在很久以前的遥远国度里”，be set in“以……为背景”符合题意。raise“提高，筹集”；tell“讲述”，但此处指的是故事发生的场景；put“放置”，均不符合文意，故排除。
