B(2025·江苏盐城盐都区第一共同体一次月考改编)
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 Ming and Qing dynasties.
The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has nearly 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with 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 meant the great power of the emperors in ancient China. It 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 in the Forbidden City. During the 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 the cost could have supported 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 there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques(古董) and treasures in it. I really learned a lot about Chinese culture and history from the trip to the Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I had always wanted to see.
()4. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?
A. About 500 years.
B. More than 600 years.
C. 1,420 years.
D. Over 10,000 years.

A. power
B. honesty
C. wealth
D. health
()6. What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word "banquet" in Paragraph 4?

B（2025·江苏盐城盐都区第一共同体第一次月考改编）
去年夏天，我去了世界上最著名的历史古迹之一——中国北京的故宫。它是明清两代皇帝的居所。
故宫建于1420年。这座宫殿有近10000个房间。它是皇帝与大臣们处理公务的地方。
在普通话中，故宫被称为“紫禁城”。然而，宫殿本身的颜色并不是紫色的。在中国古代，紫色意味着皇帝的至高权力。它是如此神圣，以至于平民百姓甚至都不敢梦想能进去。
皇帝也会在故宫举办一些规模最大的节日庆典。在中国新年期间，皇帝会邀请他的所有家人和官员参加一场宴会。这场宴会有108道中国菜肴。这是一场非常昂贵的宴会，其花费足以养活一个平民家庭三代人。
现在，故宫作为一个历史遗址，为来自世界各地的游客所熟知。每个人都可以去那里。它是一个博物馆，里面有价值连城的中国古董和珍宝。从这次故宫之行中，我真的学到了很多关于中国文化和历史的知识。能去旅行并看到我一直想看的东西，就像梦想成真一样。
4. 故宫的历史有多久？
