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】______.

选项
A、apart from
B、besides
C、together
D、rather than
答案
D
解析
副词词义辨析。rather than“而不是”;apart from“除……之外”;besides“除……之外”;together,with“连同”。a sword与the usual axe为表示相反意思的词组,因此rather than符合语义。故答案为D。
