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.
【C18】
选项
A、timber
B、cement
C、prop
D、structure
答案
A
解析
本题考点为语境推理。
(1)句式分析。
原句由并列连词and将两个分句连接在一起。后一个分句中stocks of good building______是名词词组作主语。从前一个分句中的building stone(建筑石材)可知,good building______指另一种建筑材料,因此,此处应填timber(木材)。
(2)句意判断。
本文讲的是砖块是何时、为何及如何运用于英国建筑业的。前一个分句提到伦敦与英格兰东南部的建筑石材极少,可见,此句意为“而且优质建筑木材的库存也在逐渐减少”。
