问题 ______, once the prison during the 16th and 17th, is now one of the British most popular tourist attractions.

选项 A、The Tower of London
B、The Big Ben
C、The Stonehenge
D、Westminster Abbey

答案A

解析 本题考查英国历史知识。伦敦塔(The Tower of London)1988年被列为世界文化遗产,是不列颠群岛最受欢迎的历史景点。伦敦塔曾用作堡垒、军械库、避难所和监狱,特别用来关押上层阶级的囚犯。最后的这一用途产生一条短语“sent to the Tower”,意思是“入狱”;大本钟(The Big Ben)是英国国会会议厅附属的钟楼,为伦敦的传统地标;巨石阵(The Stonehenge)是著名的史前时代文化神庙遗址,位于英格兰威尔特郡;西敏寺(Westminster Abbey)是伦敦的国家级圣公会教堂,可以说是英国地位最高的教堂。
