问题     In early-twentieth-century England, it was fashionable to claim that only a completely new style of writing could address a world undergoing unprecedented transformation— just as one literary critic recently claimed that only the new “aesthetic of exploratory excess” can address a world undergoing well, you know. Yet in early-twentieth century England, T. S. Eliot, a man fascinated by the “presence” of the past, wrote the most innovative poetry of his time. The lesson for today’s literary community seems obvious: a reorientation toward tradition would benefit writers no less than readers. But if our writers and critics indeed respect the novel’s rich tradition (as they claim to), then why do they disdain the urge to tell an exciting story?
In the context of the passage as whole, “address” is closest in meaning to

选项 A、reveal
B、belie
C、speak to
D、direct attention toward
E、attempt to remediate

答案C

解析 本题选择address的本意。在文中,address是动词词性。作为动词,address通常表明“演讲”或“应对”,因此选项C最接近。
