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.

答案
C
解析
本题考点为固定搭配。
(1)句式分析。
原句采用了存在句there be结构,a strange______作主语,which left Britain,at一 一, …是定语从句,修饰a strange______。在这个定语从句中,at______作状语。
(2)句意判断。
根据上下文,该句意为“英国砖块制造史有一段奇怪的空白期,至少在这数百年间,砖块都没有用于建筑行业”。
【知识拓展】语法拓展:插入语。
插入语通常是对一句话的一些附加解释,说明或总结,有时表示说话者的态度和看法,有时起强调的作用,有时是为了引起对方的注意,还可以起转移话题或说明事由的作用,也可以承上启下,使句子与前面的语句衔接的更紧密一些。
e.g.Strange,there is nobody in the theatre.
很奇怪,剧场里居然没人。
It’s a great mistake,I think,not to meet him at the airport.
我看,不去机场接他是个大错误。
