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.
【C1】
选项
A、must
B、may
C、would
D、should
答案
B
解析
本题考点为情态动词。
(1)句式分析。
原句是由but连接在一起的两个分句,前一个分句中,Bricks作主语,______have been known是谓语。“情态动词may/might+动词”表示推测,“might+动词”的确定性更小。故本题应填may。
(2)句意判断。
文章开篇即表明15世纪前英语中还没有出现brick一词。本句的第二个分句说,在此之前任何作家作品中都没有出现这个词,因而,可断定本句的第一个分句是推测,意为“在此之前,英国人可能已经知道有砖块这种东西了”。
【知识拓展】语法拓展:情态动词。
情态动词是表示说话人的情绪、态度或语气的动词,无人称和数的变化,后面跟的动词需用原形,否定式在情态动词后面加not。情态动词包括will(would),shall(should),can(could),may(might),must,need,dare,ought to,used to,had better。may表示“允许(非推测)”和“可能(推测)”,will表示“意志(非推测)”和“预测(推测)”,can/could,may/might表示“允许(非推测)”和“可能,能力(推测性)”,must/don’t have to,need(否定用法),should/ought to表示“义务(非推测性)”和“必然(推测性)”,will/would,shall表示“意志(非推测性)”和“预测(推测性)”。
