It was originally used as a Royal Palace for the Kings and Queens of England【C2】______the time of James I who【C3】______from 1603 to 1625, but is best known as a prison and【C4】______place Tower. Within the walls of the Tower, princes have been murdered, traitors【C5】______, spies shot, and Queens of England【C6】______. One of the most famous executions was that of Anne Boleyn in 1536. She was the second wife of Henry VIII. He wanted to【C7】______her because she could not give him a son, so he【C8】______her of adultery. She was tried and found guilty. She asked to be beheaded with a sword,【C9】______the usual axe, which can still be seen in the Tower.
The Tower was also the【C10】______of one of London’s most famous mysteries. King Edward IV died in 1483. His elder son, Edward, became king【C11】______his father’s death. Young Edward lived in the Tower, and the Duke of Gloucester, his protector, persuaded Edward’s brother, Richard, to come and live there so that they could play together. But then the Duke【C12】______that he was the new king, and he was crowned【C13】______the twelve-year-old Edward,【C14】______himself Richard III. After that, the boys were seen less and less and【C15】______disappeared. It is said that they were suffocated in bed by pillows being【C16】______their mouths. It is believed that Richard III【C17】______their deaths, although it has never been【C18】______. In 1674, workmen at the Tower discovered two skeletons which were taken away and buried in Westminster Abbey in 1678.

选项
A、until
B、by
C、to
D、at
答案
A
解析
介词词义辨析。通过阅读下文but is known as a prison mad execution place(但如今它却以一所监狱和刑场著称),可知伦敦塔在以前被用作王宫。until意为“在……以前”,符合语义。故答案为A。
