五、(2025·盐城市盐都区第一共同体模拟)(核心素养·文化意识)阅读理解。
紫禁城
Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places—the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors(皇帝) of the last two dynasties in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Forbidden City was built from 1406 to 1420. The palace has numerous rooms. There were places where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.
In Mandarin(普通话), the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the colour of the palace itself is not purple. The colour purple stands for the power of the great emperors of China. The palace was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.
The emperor also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During the Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet usually had over 100 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 historic site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques(古董) and treasures. I really learned a lot about Chinese culture and its history from this trip to the Forbidden City. Going on the trip and seeing the things that I had always wanted to see were like a dream come true.
1. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?
A. About 500 years.
B. More than 600 years.
C. 1,420 years.
D. 1,406 years.
2. We call the palace the Purple Forbidden City because the colour purple stands for the
A. power
B. honesty
C. wealth
D. health
3. What's the meaning of the underlined word “banquet” in Paragraph 4?
A. An important competition.
B. A wonderful performance.
C. An exciting speech.
D. A formal dinner.
4. Which of the following is not true about the Forbidden City in the passage?
A. The emperor lived there.
B. The wall of the Forbidden City is purple.
C. It is a historical place to visit.
D. The emperor had festival celebrations there.

### 紫禁城
去年夏天，我去了世界上最著名的历史古迹之一——中国北京的紫禁城。它是中国最后两个朝代，即明朝和清朝的皇帝的居所。
紫禁城建于1406年至1420年。这座宫殿有无数的房间。有皇帝和大臣们处理公务的地方。
在普通话中，紫禁城被称为“紫禁城”。然而，宫殿本身的颜色并不是紫色的。紫色代表着中国伟大皇帝的权力。这座宫殿是如此神圣，以至于平民百姓甚至都不敢梦想能进去。
皇帝也会在紫禁城举办一些规模最大的节日庆典。在中国新年期间，皇帝会邀请他的家人和官员参加一场宴会。这场宴会通常有100多道中国菜肴。这是一场非常昂贵的宴会，足以养活一个平民家庭三代人。
现在，紫禁城作为一个历史遗址，为来自世界各地的游客所熟知。每个人都可以进去。它是一个拥有无价中国古董和珍宝的博物馆。从这次紫禁城之行中，我真的学到了很多关于中国文化及其历史的知识。踏上这次旅行，看到我一直想看的东西，就像梦想成真一样。
