問題詳情：

Last summer I went to one of the world’s most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties () in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

  The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.

   In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City.  However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神聖的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in. 

   The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet  that it could feed a commoner’s family for three generations(代).

   Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.

I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City.   It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.

【回答】

1．A 數字計算題．由The Forbidden City was built in 1420可知紫禁城到現在有2017-1420=597年的歷史了，大約是600年，A選項符合． 2．A 細節理解題．由The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China可知紫*是皇帝權利的象徵，選A． 3．D 詞義猜測題．由The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes可推測是宴會，所以選D． 4．B 推理判斷題．由It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties可知A正確；由Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world可知C正確；由The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City可知D正確．B選項文章未提及，所以它不正確，選B． 5．C 歸納概括題．由前四段可知紫禁城在古代的作用是帝王的住處，辦公處以及宴客處，由第五段可知它現在的作用是供世界遊客參觀的歷史遺址，所以對比它們是為了說明作用上的變化，選C．
