Volcanoes
The ground we walk o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n seems firm，but deep under the earth and under the sea the rocks change and move.In some parts of the world there are“fire mountains”，which we call volcanoes.From time to time they burst open and throw out fire and burning ashes.These volcanoes are very dangerous.21教育网
There are many volc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )anoes in Indonesia and Philippines.There is also a famous mountain near Tokyo，Japan，which is a volcano too.Its name is Mount Fuji.For much of the year，it is covered with snow.21·cn·jy·com
One of the most famou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s volcanoes which erupted in recent time is Krakatoa，on an island in Indonesia.The first explosion took place on 20th May，1883，but the biggest eruption did not come until the 26th and 27th August of that year.The people on the island were used to the explosions by that time，and so they were completely unprepared for this terrible happening.Almost all the people on the island died and the explosion also made huge waves in the sea，which drowned(淹死)many people on the other island nearby.After the eruption was over，people saw that the whole northern part of the island had completely disappeared.Scientists say that 15 cubic(立方)kilometers of rocks and ash were thrown up in the explosion.The noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean，and the city of Jakarta was completely dark for about two and a half hours.www.21-cn-jy.com

Ⅱ.1.D 考查fit与suit的区别。fit表大小、尺寸合适；suit表颜色、花样合适，因此正确答案为D项。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
2．B 句意：虽然这个地区很穷，但潜在的财富却是巨大的。A现代的；B潜在的；C以前的；D目前的；出席的，故B项正确。【版权所有：21教育】
3．C 句意：美国人在和别人已经约定好之 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后又发现同时还有许多其他事情时会很生气。make an appointment with sb.“与某人预约”。
4．A 句意：等所有可能性都被评估之后，我们 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )就可以决定采取何种行动。evaluate“评估”，符合题意。empty“倒空”；exist“存在”；exchange“交换”。
5．D 句意：为了提高孩子们的健康水平，学 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )校特地购买了一些新的体育设备。equipment“设备；装备”，符合题意。entertainment“款待；娱乐；娱乐活动”；enjoyment“享受；欢乐；乐趣”；amusement“消遣；娱乐(活动)”。21世纪教育网版权所有
6．C appreciat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e感激；approach靠近，接近；appoint任命；agree同意。句意：布莱克先生是个细心而且有经验的工程师，因此他常被任命去完成一些有挑战的任务。
7．C complete着重强调事物各部分都 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )齐备无缺；perfect指人或事完美无缺；absolute指事物完全不掺杂别的成分，绝对真实，只作定语；thorough指事物各个方面都很完美，尽善尽美，因此正确答案为C项。www-2-1-cnjy-com

10．A 根据语境可知：妈妈在向女儿挥手(再见)。“wave to sb.”指“向某人挥手”。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 这是一篇幽默诙谐的小故事。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )小老鼠Zigfried住在一座空荡荡的农舍，没吃没喝。圣诞节快到了，这座房子搬来了新主人，Zigfried过上了富足的生活。可惜好景不长，圣诞节这家的孩子就会有一只猫陪伴他们了。那么，Zigfried这个圣诞节会过得怎么样呢？
1．C 从语境的叙述看，这只小老鼠在窗户上 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )哈气，然后把窗户擦亮，它满怀希望地想，或许今天会有人来。这里用hopefully指它的一种心情。其中关键词maybe(或许，有可能)说明对奇迹是否在今天出现不能十分肯定，只是“有希望”。B项excitedly(激动地，兴奋地)在这里描述小老鼠的心情是不合适的。
2．D 下文说“这座农舍需要有一家人住下”，由此可知这里表示这座农舍空荡荡的，没有人住，因此选D项。
3．C 下文说它意识到自己从昨天起就没有吃东西了，根据常识可知，饿的时候是“肚子”叫，而不是“嘴巴”“鼻子”或者“喉咙”，因此选C项。
4．A 下文第三段第8空所在句说它把口袋装满了小麦，这是很重要的提示，因此选A，它从自己的窝里拿起一个袋子就跑到隔壁的农民迈克家去了。
5．B 从语境的连贯性判断选B， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )用until表示“直到”：迈克家一直是这只小老鼠的天堂，直到迈克娶了妻子，而他的妻子带来了一只猫。猫是老鼠的天敌，猫来了对老鼠来说并不是一件好事，也就是说老鼠的好日子到头了。
6．C leap“跳跃”；sni ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ff“闻，嗅”；tremble“颤抖，发抖”；withdraw“撤退”。老鼠害怕猫是常识。句意：一想到他家的那只猫，Zigfried就(害怕得)浑身发抖。
7．D 这里用steal(into ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ))描述小老鼠小心翼翼的神态和动作：它一边谨慎地向四周看，一边蹑手蹑脚地溜进存放谷物的房间。其中cautiously(小心翼翼地)是解题的关键点。
8．B 前面提到，因为害怕那只猫，它很小心，因此在往袋子里装粮食的时候“很紧张”。nervous形象地描述了老鼠当时害怕的心理。
9．C 就在老鼠转身准备离开的时候，它感觉到耳旁有呼出的热气。这里用feel表示“感觉”到外来的呼吸。21*cnjy*com
10．D 老鼠知道形势不妙，猫来了，就在 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )它旁边，面对危机，老鼠的心怦怦乱跳，因此选D。one's heart beat wildly“心怦怦乱跳”。
11．A 老鼠赶紧逃窜，幸运地躲过了那只猫的抓捕。其中，luckily是解题的提示。
12．C 上文提到，这座农舍 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )很长时间空荡荡的，没有人居住，既然是要搬来人家，那么应该选C表示“新来的”，而不是“密切的”“快乐的”“年轻的”。
13．A 文章提到圣诞节，那么应该是celebrate“庆祝”，因此选A项。语境表示奶奶要来跟它一起庆祝这个圣诞节。21·世纪*教育网
14．D 这里用介词up描述动作由远及近 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的方向，come up the road沿着这条路驶来。句意：不久，一辆汽车沿着通向这座房子的路驶来，载着黄油三明治、奶酪和巧克力。
15．A 这座农舍因为有人的搬入，有了人气，开始充满活力，因此选A，表示“有生气，有活力”。其他各项不符合语境。
16．B 句中的them指前面提到的da ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys，有人搬进来了，接下来的几天里，房子里面又开始活跃起来了，Zigfried尽情享受着每时每刻。用enjoy表示“喜欢，享受”。
17．A 从下文“What？A ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t？”可知，孩子们是讨论圣诞节用猫做礼物的信息，老鼠的好日子到头了，故用转折副词however，表示“可是，然而”。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
18．D 这家原先没人居住，老鼠总是挨饿， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )而现在，它在自家门口喝着热巧克力，当然是觉得很满足了。a satisfied smile“满足的笑容”，因此选D。
19．B 这里用discussion指这些孩子七嘴八舌地在讨论他们圣诞节会得到什么礼物。其他各项不符合语境。
20．B 听说这家的孩子圣诞节就会有只猫了 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，老鼠Zigfried脸上原本满意的笑容一下子僵住了，这里用smile与第18空后的smile呼应。
Ⅳ.1.D 推理判断题。从第一段的“In ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) some parts of the world there are‘fire mountains’，which we call volcanoes.”看出火山并不是到处都有，排除A项和B项，C项文中没有提到，故选D项。
2．B 细节考查题。从第三段的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“The people on the island were used to the explosions by that time，and so they were completely unprepared for this terrible happening.”看出当地的人们已经习惯了它的爆发，因此，当最大的爆发发生时，人们没有任何准备。
3．B 细节考查题。从第三段的“T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5，000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean”可以看出几乎5000千米远的人们都能够听到它的声音，故选B项。
4．C “and the city o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f Jakarta was completely dark for about two and a half hours”为文中原句，故C项正确。A项错在“all”；B项错在“whole”；D项巨浪只是在附近出现，在印度洋中部可以听到它的声音。
Ⅴ.1.I was about to go ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to bed when someone knocked at the door. 2.We must appoint a new teacher to the mountain school. 3.The teacher is busy evaluating the students' homework. 4.They make their way through the forest. 5.Having worked hard all day，I went to bed early.

A Tour City—Pompeii
Every year thousan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ds of tourists visit Pompeii，Italy.They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for its stadium(运动场)and theatres，its shops and restaurants.The tourists do not，however，see Pompeii's people.They do not see them because Pompeii has no people.No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2，000 years.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Once，Pompeii was a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )busy city of 22，000 people.It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius，a grass－covered volcano(火山)．Mount Vesuvius had not erupted(喷发)for centuries，so the people of Pompeii felt safe.But they were not.2-1-c-n-j-y
In August of AD ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 79，Mount Vesuvius erupted.The entire top of the mountain exploded，and a huge black cloud rose into the air.Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii.When the eruption ended two days later，Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes.Almost all of its people were dead.
For centuries，Pompe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ii lay buried under stone and ash.Then，in the year 1861，an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii.Slowly，carefully，Ginseppe and his men dug.The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79.There were streets and fountains，houses and shops.There was a stadium with 20，000 seats.Perhaps the most important of all，there were everyday objects，which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii.Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom，so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine.They liked bread too.Metal bread pans were in every bakery.In one bakery there were 81 round，flat loaves of bread—a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today.Tiny boxes filled with a dark，shiny power tell us that women liked to wear eye－makeup.
Ginseppe has died，but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) his work continues.One－fourth has not been uncovered yet.Scientists are still digging，still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
31．Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year
A．To visit the volcano.
B．To shop and eat there.
C．To watch sports and plays.
D．To see how Pompeiians lived.
32．Why had so many people remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius
A．The city nearly offered all kinds of fun.
B．The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C．Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D．The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
33．What's the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )meaning of the underlined word“exploded”in the third paragraph
A．爆发 B．震动
C．倒塌 D．爆裂
34．What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2，000 years ago
A．They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.21·cn·jy·com
B．They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.
C．They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.
D．They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.

Falkland Island Wol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ves were the largest land mammal that has died out in the last 200 years.These unique creatures were not like the wolf found in North America but were quite different.It is only recently that the true facts behind this species have been found out.
Being on the southe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rn tip of South America the Falkland Islands received few visitors.Thus even though the first sighting of the wolves was in the year 1692，they remained very common and tame until the settlers that finally settled on the Falklands viewed the wolves as a pest and organized attempts to poison and kill them.The last Falkland Island Wolf was shot by a hunter in 1876.
The Falkland Islands ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) lie about 500 miles from the mainland of South America.This prevents the spread of many species to it.This allowed the wolf to develop quickly and have no innate fear of humans since they had no contact with man.They were the top predators(食肉动物)in their environment and as such unafraid of anything.
But how did the wolf m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ake it to the islands？Many theories have been put forward but most biologists find the following two the most possible.First, there is the theory that former human inhabitants who had died or left brought the wolves to the islands.Others support the theory that the wolves found their way to the islands from a land bridge or floating ices.Recent further examinations showed that the closest relative of the Falkland Island Wolf separated from them about 6.7 million years ago.This puts the two species in North America due to the fact that canid(犬科动物)fossils have only been found in the Falkland Islands from around 3 million years ago.This gives a heavy blow to the human transportation theory due to the fact that humans have only been concretely documented in South America since around 62，000 years ago.
Humanity seldom re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alizes they have lost something special until it is already gone.This is the case of the Falkland Island Wolf.
35．What do we learn about Falkland Island Wolves
A．They were like the wolves in North America.
B．They died out because of the destroyed environment.
C．They weren't like modern wolves and they were tame.

More than half of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Americans do not take all their vacation days，even though they think they need a holiday more this year than last.And nearly a third of workers who do take a break check in with work every other day and some keep in touch hourly，according to a new survey.
“We're workaholics( ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )工作狂)，”said Samuel Nahmias，vice president of research firm StudyLogic.“From a general perspective this has a lot to do with the economic situation in the US.More and more people are unemployed.”
With jobless n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )umbers staying at 9.6 percent people who have jobs seem to be unwilling to take time off.“It is not a great picture and that affects vacations.People are not going on vacation as much and those that are going on vacation are being more selective about where they are going.”Nahmias explained.
Unlike Europe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an countries where four or more weeks of holiday each year is normal，27 percent of people questioned in the poll said they had six to ten days of annual leave and 20 percent had less than three days.With more people on the unemployment lists, those still with jobs are facing more responsibility at work，which is reflected in their lack of time off.
The majority of worke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs who did not take time off mentioned too many responsibilities or stress at work，while some people said they simply did not have the time to plan a holiday.“People are more conscious of what they are doing and when they are going on vacation because they don't want to look bad in this situation，”Nahmias explained.
Technology is also pla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ying a part with smartphones enabling workers to keep in contact in ways that were not possible before.It has to do with technology and the level of concern about what is going on in the office.
39．Americans don't take all their vacation days because ________．
A．they have been tired of taking holidays
B．they are afraid of losing their jobs
C．they want to contact their bosses closely
D．they prefer to work rather than rest
40．Which of the follow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 3
A．Traveling can make unemployed people feel relaxed.21教育网
B．People are unwilling to go on short vacations.
C．The high unemployment rate causes people not to take vacations.
D．People are more selective about their jobs.
41．What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A．Americans are under more pressure in their work than before.
B．The economic situation in Europe is better than that in America.
C．Americans are more hard－working than Europeans.
D．People in co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )untries with lower unemployment rates spend longer vacations.

Cancer sufferers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) could be treated with immune cells(免疫细胞)from donors resistant to the disease.US scientists say they have been given the permission by the authorities to test experimental treatment on humans.
Zheng Cui and his col ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )leagues at Wake Forest University of Medicine in Winston－Salem，North Carolina，have received permission from the Food and Drug Administration to screen people for their ability to avoid cancer.
Immune cells from t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he best cancer fighters will be given to cancer patients，after being matched for the blood type，the scientists said.
The scientists ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve discovered that a much larger population of immune cells called granulocytes(粒性白细胞)can also kill cancer and they have shown that immune cells from some people may effectively fight cancer in others.
The researchers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )took blood samples from more than 100 people and mixed their granulocytes with cervical cancer cells.Granulocytes from one person killed around 97 percent of cancer cells within 24 hours.However，only around 2 percent of cancer cells were killed by those from another healthy individual.
Last year，however，t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he scientists successfully treated a range of different cancers in mice by injecting them with granulocytes from a group of mice that are completely resistant to cancer.
“Our pre－clinical ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tests have been successful.If this is half as effective in humans as it is in mice it could be that half of patients could be cured or at least given one to two years extra of high－quality life，”Cui was quoted as saying.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Everyone has some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ability to fight cancer through immune cells called NK cells，which can identify and kill tumors(肿瘤)—although the extent of theses cells' influence is not known.Cells' ability to kill cancer appeared to be lower in blood samples taken from people over the age of 50 and even lower in people with cancer.It also fell when people were under stress and during winter，according to the scientists.
43．What do we know from the passage
A．Granulocytes from one person may be used to fight cancer in others.
B．Immune cells from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people resistant to cancer can be given to any cancer patients.
C．A lot of c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ancer sufferers have been successfully cured with the help of immune cells.
D．As long as canc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er patients have the same blood type with cancer fighters，they can be cured.
44．In order ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to treat cancer sufferers，scientists should get immune cells from ________．
A．healthy mice
B．patients who just get cancer
C．healthy people
D．the best cancer fighters
45．What does the underlined word“those”in Paragraph 5 refer to
A．Blood samples. B．Granulocytes.
C．Individuals. D．Cancer cells.
46．In which colum ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n of a magazine can you most probably find this passage
A．Science. B．Nature.
C．Life. D．History.

It would be plea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sant to believe that all young girls in the past got married for romantic reasons；but the fact is that many of them regarded marriage as their only chance to gain independence from their parents，to have a provider，or to be assured of a good place in society.A couple of generations ago，an old maid of twenty－five did not have much to look forward to，she was more or less fated to remain with her parents or to live in some relative's home where she would help with the chores and the children.But not so any more now.In the first place，women remain young much longer than they used to，and an unmarried woman of twenty－eight or thirty does not feel that her life is over.Besides，since she is probably working and supporting herself，she is free to marry only when and if she chooses.As a result，today's women tend (倾向)to marry later in life.They have fewer children—or none at all—if they prefer to devote themselves to their profession.The result is decline in the birthrate.
The new role that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) women have developed for themselves has changed family life.Children are raised differently；they spend more time with adults who are not their parents: baby－sitters，day－care center personnel，relatives，or neighbors.Whether they gain or lose in the process is a hotly debated question.Some child experts believe that young children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound in body and mind.Others think that children get more from a mother who spends with them “quality time” (a time of fun and relaxation set aside for them) rather than hours of forced and unhappy baby－sitting.And many child psychologists point out that children kept in day－care centers every day are brighter than those raised at home.No matter what it is，one thing about child raising to be certain of is that the longer the child is with the mother，the better.
47．It can be concluded from the passage that ________．
A．women today have developed a new role in family life
B．the birthra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )te is declining as a result of women's pursuit(追求) of careers
C．women have al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ways been dependent on their parents even after marriage
D．children must spend ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound
48．The change in w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omen's attitude towards marriage results in all of the following EXCEPT ________．【出处：21教育名师】
A．more and m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore women quit(＝leave) jobs to take care of their children at home
B．women today tend to marry later than they did
C．women have less time to raise children
D．some families remain childless
49．People have different opinions over the question as to ________.
A．how children should be raised
B．where children should be raised
C．whether children should stay with their parents
D．how long children should stay with their parents
50．The author suggests that ________．
A．working women should not have children
B．children should be kept in day－care centers all the time2·1·c·n·j·y
C．young children should stay with their mother as long as possible
D．women should leave their work to look after their children at home

Protecting our environment
With the rapid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )development of world economy，many people come to realize that we have got the development at the cost of our environment.It is often reported that we are suffering more and more disasters because of the damaged environment.
If we human ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )beings are clever enough，we should take measures to protect our environment right now.If we didn't，the earth would come to an end.We should pass laws to forbid cutting down trees.Those who pollute rivers and seas should be punished.Wild animals should be well protected.Everyone should know the importance of protecting environment.
As is known to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )all，if we act soon enough，we can still have a bright future.If we don't，one thing is certain.We will be punished by nature.

Half the world's pop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ulation is affected by Asian monsoons(季风)，but monsoons are difficult to predict.American researchers have put together a 700－year record of the rainy seasons，which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Every year，moist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(潮湿的)air masses，known as monsoons，produce large amounts of rainfall in India，East Asia，Northern Australia and East Africa.All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.
According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Edward Cook，a weather expert at Columbia University in New York，the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict.In addition，climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use.Therefore，he and other researchers spent more than 15 years traveling across Asia，looking for trees old enough to provide long－term records.They measured the rings inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.
Rainfall has a dir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ect link to the growth and Width of rings on some kinds of trees.The researchers put together a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas(地图集)documenting monsoons over seven centuries，beginning in the 1，300s.
“If the monsoo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n fails or is a very weak one，the trees affected by monsoons at that location might have a very narrow ring，”said Professor Cook.“But if the monsoon is very strong，the trees affected by that monsoon might have a wide ring for that year.”With all the information, researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.
“There has been wides ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pread starvation and loss of human life in the past during large droughts while a particularly heavy monsoon can cause serious flooding，”said Eugene Wahl，a scientist with America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.“So，the regional moisture models，dryness and wetness over such along period of time in great detail mean a kind of victory for climate science.”
1．What's the passage mainly about
A．The effects of Asian monsoons.
B．The necessity of weather forecast.
C．The achievements of Edward Cook.
D．A breakthrough in monsoon predictions.
2．It is diffic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because ________．
A．it is hard to keep long－term climate records
B．they are formed under complex climate systems
C．they influence many nations
D．there is heavy rainfall in Asia
3．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Long and deta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iled climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.
B．The Monsoon Asia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1，300 years.
C．The trees affected by monsoons grow fast if the monsoon is weak.
D．The rainfall mi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ght be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon－affected areas.
4．According to Professor Cook，the rings of the trees ________．
A．determine the regional climate

Greenwich，in the sout ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h of the Thames，the longest river in England，has a long history.Throughout time different buildings have been constructed on the same site.The Palace of Placentia，an English Royal Palace built in 1447，no longer exists apart from a few remains under the present buildings.
The impressive bu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ildings on the south bank of the Thames at Greenwich were designed by the English architect Sir Christopher Wren.The buildings were finally completed in 1745，although some parts started to be used as early as in 1705.They're now part of a university—having served as a naval(海军的)hospital and a naval college and the setting for several movies.
But the buildings s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tand on a site which has a much longer history.For nearly two hundred years，from around 1450 to 1650，Greenwich was one of the main royal palaces of England.Some of the most famous English rulers，such as Henry Ⅷ and Elizabeth Ⅰ，not only lived there，but were also born there.
Henry Ⅷ put an a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rmory(军械库)there，and there were also gardens and a mass of buildings.The Palace of Placentia was also in a strategic location，because at the time either side of Greenwich on the Thames was important places where ships were built and repaired.
Eventually，however ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，the palace fell into bad condition.In 1664，the King at the time，Charles Ⅱ，decided to replace it with completely new buildings in a modern style.Only a cellar(地窖)from the former royal palace now remains，under one of the new buildings.Its red brick，typical of the sixteenth century，contrasts sharply with the white stone above it.
