Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these 21 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents. It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 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 27 . However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back. You could 30 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.

(答案→)C 解析：【小题1】指前文句子中提及的 “a belief in fairies”, 和下文“they”一致。【小题2】从半否定句子“Not all of these … are the friendly, people-loving…”，可知文中所提fairies非友善、受人爱戴之类型；frightened, 用于修饰人的自身感觉，此处不合适。【小题3】从并列的形容词“pale”和动词 “change” 可知。【小题4】从句中“change so much” 可知。【小题5】It was heard that… 听说……【小题6】固定搭配 replace…with …替代。【小题7】呼应前文所述“many ways”。【小题8】前文有“the fairies had come and stolen the baby away…” 。【小题9】仙女用“Changeling” 把婴儿调包了。用这两种方法要把真正的孩子找回来。【小题10】固定搭配，把Changeling 放在火上

这个解释是对的
