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.

答案
A
解析
本题考点为词语重复。关键性词语的重复是语篇衔接的重要手段。
(1)句式分析。
原句是由并列连词and连接在一起的两个分句。第二个分句中,loading the home-bound ships with______作介词of的宾语,load sth.with…将……装在某物上。
(2)句意判断。
本文在讲砖块在英国的历史,此处讲到砖块的出现,根据上下文,此句意为“大约就在这个时候,有人提出装砖返航”。
【知识拓展】词汇拓展。
本句中的home-bound是复合词。复合词通常是由两个或两个以上自由词素构成的,主要有复合名词:headline,handbook,driveway等;复合形容词:world-famous,dog-tired,light-blue等;复合动词:(to)outline,(to)mass-produce,(to)sightsee等;复合代词:nobody,whatever:something等;复合连词:whenever, wherever,whereas等;复合介词:throughout,outside,alongside等。
