Greenwich is on the River Thames, five miles from the middle of London, and its story is 2,000 years old. The first English people, the Saxons, were fishermen there, and they gave Greenwich its name "green village". Before came the Roman, you could still walk on the old Roman road in Greenwich Park. But the river was the true road to the outside world for the Romans, and for the English kings and queens who later live at Greenwich in their beautiful palaces.
The name of the earliest palace was Placentia. Its windows were made of glass--the first in England. Herry Va loved placentia. But Henry understood the future of his country, too: he knew that England must be strong at sea. So he started two big shipyards at Greenwich, and for 350 years the ships made there were the best in the world.
In 1649, a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king. When the war ended, Placentia was falling down. So King Charles 1I built a new and bigger palace, which is now the Royal (皇家的) Naval College and is open to the public.
At this time, Charles was worried about losing so many of his ships at sea: Their sailors didn’t know how to tell exactly where they were. So in 1675 Charles made John Flamsteed the first Astronomer (天文台) Royal, to try to find the answer. Flamsteed worked in a new Observatory (天文台) on the high ground in Greenwich Park. With a telescope he made himself, Flamsteed could look all around the sky. And he did, night after night, for twenty years. Carrying on Fiamsteed’s work a hundred years later, an astronomer called Harrison (1693 - 1776) finally made a clock which told the time at sea; and helped sailors to know where they were. You can see Harrison’s clock, still working, in Greenwich’s museum of the sea. Because of Flamsteed’s work, every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time.
选项
A、Henry Ⅷ
B、Romans
C、Charles Ⅱ
D、the Saxons
答案
B
解析
第一段中,“Before came the Romans”是一个倒装省略句,正常语序应为“The Romans came before”,意为在此之前罗马人到这里来。故本题答案为B。
