Something has been happening to the concept of "fiction",either in critical discourse and elsewhere. For a long time, __1__ this concept operated under common understood restrictions. __2__ It was used to refer to a certain genre of literature; a certain __3__ aspect of literature in general——the element of plot, action,or fable, including such constituents like character, setting, __4__ scene, and so on; and to any narrative or story contained __5__ a large element of invention. But recently, the concept of "fiction" has undergone an extension. Though still used to __6__ refer to the action or plot of literary work, it has come to __7__ be appllied to something more: to the ideas, themes, and beliefs that are being embodied in the action or plot. It is __8__ not only the events in literature that are regarded as fictive but the "message" or "world view" conveyed in the presentation of the events as well. And this is not the end of the matter.
Gone a step further, critics now sometimes suggest, by a kind __9__ of tautology, that literary meanings are fictions although all __10__ meanings are fictions, this critical view asserts that "life" and "reality" are themselves fictions.
答案：
1. either—both．both...and...為固定搭配。
2. common—commonly．過(guò)去分詞understood作定語(yǔ)，需要副詞修飾
3. 在第二個(gè)a certain前加to，與前面的to短語(yǔ)并列，都為refer to所加的短語(yǔ)
4. like—as 或 刪掉such．such...as為固定搭配。如刪掉such則為單獨(dú)由like引出所舉的說(shuō)明性的例子
5. contained—containing．現(xiàn)在分詞做定語(yǔ)，相當(dāng)于定語(yǔ)從句。
6. extension—expansion．extension與expansion為形近詞，前者強(qiáng)調(diào)縱向的擴(kuò)大，增加或延長(zhǎng)，后者著重多方位的，全面的發(fā)展和擴(kuò)大。
7. work—works．此處指的是文學(xué)作品，常用works。
8. 刪掉being．整篇文章都為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。
9. Gone—Going．現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語(yǔ)，表示動(dòng)作由主語(yǔ)發(fā)出。
10. although—because．應(yīng)該是原因狀語(yǔ)從句，而不是讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。
