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 brickmaking

选项
A、usual
B、strange
C、alien
D、customary
答案
B
解析
空格处是形容砖块出现在英国的方式。由上文可知,15世纪的埃及、印度和罗马都已经使用砖块了,但奇怪的是,几百年后英国才开始使用砖块。故可推断砖块是以一种奇怪的方式出现在英周。alien与strange同义,但是alien偏向干指“陌生中带着害怕的情绪”,而strange偏向于“陌生而感到惊讶”,这里选择strange比较合适。答案选B。
