The word "brick" did not appear in the English language before the 15th century. Bricks【C1】________ have been known in Britain before then, but they were not【C2】________ enough to be mentioned by any write. We know that they were used in ancient Egypt, in India, and in the Roman【C3】________; they were used again in parts of Europe; but there is a strange【C4】________ in the history of brickmaking
which left Britain, at【C5】________, without bricks for building for several hundred years. When they did arrive in Britain, it was in a very【C6】________ way.
In the 15th century, Britain’s wool trade was【C7】________ flourishing, and shiploads of wool were exported to other countries, among them, Germany and Holland. These ships would have had to return empty,【C8】________ their captains were able to pick up a【C9】________ cargo, and no captain likes an empty ship. For【C10】________ thing, it is difficult to【C11】________in stormy weather; for another thing, it is a great waste of space. So【C12】________ than return home with an empty ship, the captains would【C13】________ up with anything, and at about this time, somebody had the idea of loading the home-bound ships with【C14】________. These were already being used【C15】________ in Holland and Germany, where the brick-makers were anxious to sell their surplus【C16】________.
These bricks must have been a godsend to the builders of London and southeast England. There was very【C17】________ building stone in that part of the country, and stocks of good building【C18】________ were running【C19】________. Bricks were first used for the big houses of rich people living in the countryside, and only later for town houses and【C20】________ cottages.
【C20】
选项
A、old
B、simple
C、humble
D、magnificent
答案
D
解析
空格后的名词和town houses并列,前面还有一个并列结构是big houses,都表示用砖块的房屋类型,可推断此处是和“大房子”和“城镇房屋”并列的“豪华小别墅”。magnificent“壮丽的,宏伟的”符合文意。
