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 write. 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.

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 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】.

选项
A、usual
B、strange
C、alien
D、customary
答案
B
解析
空格处是形容砖块出现在英国的方式。由上文可知,15世纪的埃及、印度和罗马都已经使用砖块了,但奇怪的是,几百年后英国才开始使用砖块。故可推断砖块是以一种奇怪的方式出现在英国。alien与strange同义,但是alien偏向于指“陌生中带着害怕的情绪”。而strange偏向于“陌生而感到惊讶”,这里选择strange比较合适。答案选B。
