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. 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 sur-plus _______【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】.

【C7】
选项
A、never
B、more
C、still
D、less
答案
C
解析
空格处的词修饰flourishing,结合下文提到羊毛出口到其他国家,可知英国的羊毛贸易仍然很红火,故选C。more用在此处不适合,此处没有通过和其他时代对比以突出15世纪羊毛出口更繁荣,而是宽泛地指出当时的一种常态。
