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.

C、rather
D、less
答案
C
解析
本题考点为句子结构分析与固定搭配。
(1)句式分析。
原句中,so是连接词,用以连接此句与上一个句子,意为“因此”,主语是the captains,would…up with作谓语。将句子顺序调整为So the captains would…up with anything______than return home with an empty ship,便可看出本题考查would…rather than(宁愿……而不做……)句型,因此,此处填rather。
(2)句意判断。
依据上下文,此句意为“因此,船长宁愿载满任何东西,都不愿空船返航”。
【知识拓展】词汇拓展。
①rather than=instead of而不是。
e.g.You should go rather than me.
是你该走,而不是我。
②would rather A than B=would A rather than B宁愿A也不愿意B/与B相比,更喜欢A,或sb.would rather do sth.(than do sth.)/sb.would do sth.rather than do sth.某人宁愿做某事(而不愿做某事)/某人宁愿做某事而不愿做某事。
e.g.She’d rather die than give up.
她宁愿死都不放弃。
