问题     Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was(and perhaps still is)a belief in fairies. Not all of these【C11】______are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are【C12】______and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows【C13】______and pale and has changed so much that it is almost【C14】______to the parents. It was then【C15】______that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and【C16】______the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended【C17】______. However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been【C18】______. In those cases there was often a way to get the【C19】______baby back. You could【C20】______the Changeling on the fire— then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.
【C12】
选项 A、cruel
B、powerful
C、frightened
D、extraordinary
答案A
解析 根据上句的意思，此处应选择贬义词，而powerful、extraordinary是褒义词，不合题意，C项frightened的形式不正确，表示“神仙本身令人害怕”应用frightening，所以排除B、C、D三项。形容词cruel与下句的cause much human suffering相一致。
