Anna Gavalda’s fiction is appealing largely because of her writing styles, which is certainly (i)___ .
It is heavy on dialogue (and light on embellishment) features very short sections (of often only a few sentences) in rapid succession, and in general favors an unadorned directness.
Not surprisingly, this style works better in short-story form than in novels, and the story collection I Wish Someone Were Waiting for Me Somewhere (ii)___ her attempt to (iii)____ it in a novel, as in, for example, Someone I Loved.

G. undermine
B. distinctive

H. sustain
C. convoluted

I. reject

翻译:A G 的小说引人入胜主要因为她独特的写作风格。它偏重对话(较少修饰)多为快节奏的短小段落(通常只有几句话),总体上直截了当。并不奇怪的是,这种风格更适合短篇小说而非长篇小说,而她在(短篇)故事合集《 I Wish Someone Were Waiting for Me Somewhere 》中表现出的这种风格明显强于长篇小说,比如《 Someone I Loved 》。
(网上版本为 sentence,改为 sentences)
第1空主要用排除法,根据 appealing 排除 annoying,根据 rapid / directeness 排除 convoluted。
后两空的判断都在第三句内,这种风格 works better in short-stories,而由句尾可知 Someone I Loved 是一本 novel,关系就清楚了,代入选项即可。
feature 给 … 以显著地位,由 … 主演
succession 连续(交替),一连串事物,一系列,(王位、头衔或财产等的)继承权(资格排序)。在本句中意译为节奏。
unadorned 朴素的,未装饰的
short-story 短篇小说,短故事
novel (长篇)小说
precede (时间、顺序、位置等)在 … 之间
impress 给 … 留下深刻印象,使 … 难以忘记 …
reject 拒绝
