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.
Who first lived in the place that is called Greenwich today according to this passage ？ ______.
A．Henry Ⅷ
B．Romans
C．Charles Ⅱ
D．the Saxons

Nothing can more seriously change the look of a town or city so dramatically than the sudden appearance of an office building which t【72】above all the surrounding buildings. Before the arrival of this skyscraper, all the buildings in the city stood in special relationship to each other. The most str【73】of them was probably the cathedral or the town hall f【74】by other public buildings. These dominated the city and gave it a definite shape. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the new arrival dwarfs (使显得矮小) everything in sight, and even the most【75】(grace) existing buildings may now be so sadly di【76】as to seem slightly ridiculous beside this monster. It rises up above them like a huge, white, slotted (开门的) packing-case resting【77】its side, demanding at【78】merely because of its size and not because of any intrinsic (内在的) worth.
Part of the charm of a big city l【79】in the variety of styles that can be seen in the architecture of its buildings. One feels that the city has grown slowly and each age has left its mark. By demolishing buildings of f【80】times, we wipe out every vestige of the past forever.

I remember the very day that I became black. Up to my thirteenth year I lived in the little Negro town of Eatonville, Florida. It is exclusively a black town. The only white people I knew passed through the town going to or coming from Orlando, Florida. The native whites rode dusty horses, and the northern tourists traveled down the sandy village road in automobiles. The town knew the Southerners and never stopped chewing sugar cane when they passed. But the Northerners were something else again. They were peered at cautiously from behind curtains by the timid. The bold would come outside to watch them go past and got just as much pleasure out of the tourists as the tourists got out of the village.
The front deck might seem a frightening place for the rest of the town, but it was a front row seat for me. My favorite place was on top of the gatepost. Not only did I enjoy the show, but I didn't mind the actors knowing that I liked it. I usually spoke to them in passing. I'd wave at them and when they returned my wave, I would say a few words of greeting. Usually the automobile or the horse paused at this, and after a strange exchange of greetings, I would probably "go a piece of the way" with them, as we say in farthest Florida, and follow them down the road a bit. If one of my family happened to come to the front of the house in time to see me, of course the conversation would be rudely broken off.
During this period, white people differed from black to me only in that they rode through town and never lived there. They liked to hear me "speak pieces" and sing and wanted to see me dance, and gave me generously of their small silver for doing these things, which seemed strange to me, for I wanted to do them so much that I needed bribing to stop. Only they didn't know it. The colored people gave no coins. They disapproved of any joyful tendencies in me, but I was their Zora nevertheless. I belonged to them, to the nearby hotels, to the country—everybody's Zora.
My impressions of the white as a child:
The cosmological description is apt: the countries Trofimov visited seem, in their values, outlooks and aspirations, very distant from our own. "Faith at War" serves as a kind of wormhole, through which we can enter that parallel universe and begin to comprehend it. The news it brings will not comfort those who believe that globalization is drawing us closer together. On his first stop, Cairo, undergraduates dining in a McDonald' s a few days after 9ll 1 demonstrate that it' s possible to delight in a Big Mac and in the fiery deaths of 3,000 Americans at the same time. "Everyone celebrated," an 18-year-old university student gushes as she dips her fries into ketchup, "cheering that America finally got what it deserved."
This and similar encounters lead Trofimov to conclude that poverty is not the root cause of Islamic extremism: "Often those with the most bloodthirsty ideas were the well-to-do and the privileged who have had some experience with the West -- and not the downtrodden and ignorant ' masses' that are usually depicted as the font of anti-Western fury."
At his next destination, Saudi Arabia, Trofimov sips tea with a dissident who echoes a mantra of the Bush administration -- the Middle East's repressive regimes are responsible for terrorism, and the key to defeating it is to democratize the region. The country's justice minister, though, tells him that democracy is "un- Islamic".
Some of Trofimov' s material is, unfortunately, dated, especially in the chapters dealing with Iraq and Afghanistan. Iraqi Shiite leaders express deep antipathy to the United States ("Even if you turn this country into heaven, we don't want it from you," says one); he might hear different opinions now that a Shiite dominated government is more or less in place.
Trofimov's episodic narrative creates a mosaic of the Muslim universe, which is less monolithic than generally pictured. Each tile is exquisitely wrought, but the overall pattern is not always clear. Trofimov implies that in the eyes of a great many Muslims, what began as a war against terrorism has morphed into a war against Islam-- a clash of civilizations. But Muslims in more moderate countries like Tunisia and Mali don't seem to share that view, and I for one couldn't tell which vision is likely to prevail.
That said, this book deserves a wide readership. The Muslims don't understand us, we don't understand them. "Faith at War" goes a long way toward solving the second part of that dismal equation.
Concerning the book, which of the following statements is NOT true？
A．It is partly a travel book.
B．It is partly a political one.
C．It is partly a cultural commentary.
D．It is partly an academic one.
