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?

The author of the passage suggests that present-day readers would
particularly benefit from which of the following changes on the
part of present-day writers and critics?

A An increased focus on the importance of engaging the
audience in a narrative
B Modernization of the traditional novelistic elements already
familiar to readers
C Embracing aspects of fiction that are generally peripheral to
the interest of readers
D A greater recognition of how the tradition of the novel has
changed over time
E A better understanding of how certain poets such as Eliot
have influenced fiction of the present time

这个需要归纳。题目类型是取非题，找对应的主语关键词和特征。定位在最后一句话，they disdain the urge
to tell an exciting story，因此答案选得就是把disdain去掉的选项，即包含an exciting story含义的，A的narrative可以和story对应，是答案。B、D不是有利于读者的，C、E无关选项排除。
