问题     When the Portuguese began trading with China in the early 1500s,【C1】______was one of the luxury goods they carried home in their ships. Only the Chinese knew how to make this delicate, often【C2】______, material that rings when you【C3】______it. Demand for porcelain made expressly for foreigners spread as far as the Netherlands, Germany, Persia, the Ottoman empire, Japan and the young United States.
    The Chinese【C4】______drew on traditional shapes, but quickly began to branch out, making Western tureens(汤盆)in the form of pigs, cocks, blue-eyed ox heads and crouching crabs, as well as【C5】______shaped as colourful fish. It was a world apart from the traditional Chinese porcelain.
    Now Chinese【C6】______are beginning to acquire them as homage to the【C7】______and commercial wisdom of their forebears. For the moment, though, the best collection is still in Brazil. It is the focus of a new three-volume study of 600【C8】______pieces.
    Maria Ant6 nia Pinto de Matos, director of the National Tile Museum in Lisbon, spent 11 years on this project. She tells the story of early【C9】______and the fascination with the crafty strategy of foreign trade with China and the many influences that flowed back and forth across the water. Her books document the【C10】______from tradition to Western shapes, among them are coffee pots. These books are expensive, but they are well worth the investment. This is the best work yet written on Chinese export porcelain and will be a resource for collectors, dealers for years to come.
A)exploration B)collectors C)outstanding D)translucent
E)break F)porcelain G)manufacturers H)hardware
I)transition J)receivers K)large amount of L)tap
M)sophistication N)enormous O)sauce plates
【C2】
选项
答案D
解析 根据上下文可知这里要填一个修饰瓷器的，表示其品质的形容词。分析句意可知这里讲的是只有中国人知道如何制作这些精致的、半透明的、一敲就响的东四。translucent的意思是“透明的”，体现了瓷器的性质，其他形容词，如enormous表示“巨大”的意思，不太恰当，不是所有的瓷器都是巨大的。因此，选translucent。
