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.

D、transport
答案
C
解析
本题考点为词义辨析。
(1)句式分析。
原句使用了for one thing…(and)for another(thing)这个表示列举的连接性状语,将两个句子连接在一起。前一个句子中,代词it代指前一句话中所说的空船。
(2)句意判断。
从上一句可知,倘若船长找不到搭载的货物,就得空船返航,而船长都不愿意这样做。这句话应该是说他们不愿意这样做有两个原因。因此,此句意为“一方面,空船在暴风雨中很难控制;另一方面,也是空间的极大浪费”。
【知识拓展】语法拓展:it的用法。
it除了作代词外,还可以在句中充当形式主语或形式宾语,后面的真正主语或真正宾语通常是不定式结构、-ing分词结构或名词性分句结构。
e.g.It’s illegal to drive without a license.
无照驾驶是违法的。(it作形式主语)
He made it clear that he didn’t want to speak to me.
他表明他不想跟我说话。(it作形式宾语)
