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 writer. 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 brick-making 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.

解析
本题考点为语义推理与词义辨析。依据语境判断句意,辨析近义词,选择正确答案。
(1)句式分析。
原句是由but连接在一起的两个分句,在but之后的分句中,they作主语,______enough to be…作表语,enough是副词,修饰本题要填的形容词,表示“但是,它们并不是很……”之意。
(2)句意判断。
依据前文,本句意为“但砖块并不是很常见,作家都没有用过这个词”。
【知识拓展】语法拓展:语篇衔接。
本句中的but(但是)为表示转折的并列连词。并列连词是语篇衔接的一种手段。语篇衔接的手段多种多样,大体可归于以下三类:
①表示时间顺序、方位关系、因果关系等逻辑概念的过渡性词语,统称为“逻辑纽带”。连接性状语,如to begin with;in the first place,in the second place;next,then;finally,last,lastly;to conclude,also,besides,furthermore,moreover,then,in addition;equally,likewise,similarly;for example,for instance,that is;consequently,hence,so,therefore,thus;in contrast,by comparison等,就是逻辑纽带。
②通过省略、替代、照应等句法手段所表示的承接关系,这类连句手段为“语法纽带”。
③通过词汇的重复,同义词、近义词、反义词的使用及平行结构的使用所表示的承接关系,统称为“词汇纽带”。
