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.

选项
A、fill
B、load
C、make
D、arrange
答案
A
解析
本题考点为固定搭配。
(1)句式分析。
原句中,并列连词and将两个分句连接在一起。理顺前一个分句的语序,发现该分句使用would do sth.rather than do sth.这个比较结构,对would______up with anything与return home with an empty ship进行比较,此处所选词应与empty构成反义,可见,此处应该填fill。fill up with sth.是固定搭配,意为“装满某物”。
(2)句意判断。
根据上下文,此句意为“因此,船长宁愿在船上装满任何东西,也不愿驾驶空船返航”。
