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.
【C6】
选项
A、usual
B、strange
C、alien
D、customary
答案
B
解析
本题考点为语境推理与词语照应。
(1)句式分析。
原句是一个带有时间状语从句的复杂句。When they did arrive in Britain作状语,it was in a very______way是主句,空格处缺少一个形容词,修饰way。
(2)句意判断。
由上文可知,15世纪前埃及、印度和罗马帝国已经使用砖块了,但很奇怪,几百年后英国建筑业才开始使用砖块。由此可见,该句意为“砖块也是以一种奇怪的方式出现在英国”。
【知识拓展】(1)词汇拓展。
①usual和customary是近义词,都有“通常的,平常的”之意,但也有不同。usual是普通用词,概念广泛,指经常发生或意料之中的事。customary通常指特定地区的习俗、风俗。
②alien与strange是近义词,均有“陌生的”之意,但也有些微差别。alien通常指的是陌生中带有害怕之意,常指外国的、异域的,如an alien environment陌生的环境。
strange指不寻常,带有惊讶之意。
e.g.She was looking at me in a very strange way.
她用一种异样的眼神看着我。
(2)语法拓展:时间状语从句。
时间状语从句是九大类状语从句之一。时间状语从句的常用引导词有when,as,while,as soon as,while,before,after, since,till,until。特殊引导词有the minute,the moment,the second,every time,the day, the instant,immediately,directly, no sooner…than,hardly…when,scarcely…when。
