【題目】閱讀下面的短文，然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

The Forbidden City is also called “Zijincheng (purple forbidden city)”. It is the largest and greatest palace in China today. Under Ming Emperor ,people began to build the Forbidden City in 1406,and it took 14 years to finish it.

The palace is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meters wide from east to west. It has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters. A 52-meter-wide-moat（護(hù)城河） encircles a 9.9 –meter- high wall which encloses the complex(綜合設(shè)施).

The Forbidden City in Beijing was the emperors’ palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Though its walls are red and its roofs are yellow, the palace’s name mentions the color purple. How did it get this name? In fact, this has more to do with what the palace stands for than what it looks like.

The character “ zi ” refers to (指代) the Ziwei star. According to ancient Chinese astronomy (天文學(xué)), the Ziwei star was surrounded (包圍) by 28 other stars, meaning it was the heart of the sky. People believed that the palace of the God Emperor, which is called Ziweigong, or Ziwei palace, was located on this star.

Chinese emperors were believed to be the sons of the God Emperor. It was believed that their palace on the earth should be like the Ziweigong in the sky. That’s how the Forbidden City got its name.

In Chinese culture, the color purple stands for good luck. This belief began with Laozi, the founder of Taoism (道教) who lived around 2,500 years ago. One day, when Laozi was traveling through the Hangu Pass (函谷關(guān)) in Henan from the east, a purple mist suddenly appeared in the air. This “purple air from the east” (紫氣東來) story led people to connect the color to great sages (圣人), and it also stands for nobility (高貴).

【1】When did people finish building The Forbidden City?

【2】Does the name of “Zijincheng” have more to do with what it looks like?

【3】How wide is the moat which encircles the high wall?

【4】Where was the God Emperor’s palace located according to ancient Chinese belief?

【5】Good luck and nobility.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文，文章主要介紹紫禁城的建造，“紫”所代表的含義以及紫色的文化內(nèi)涵。

【1】

根據(jù)第一段“people began to build the Forbidden City in 1406,and it took 14 years to finish it”，可知1406年開始建紫禁城，花了14年完成，完成建造是在1420年。故答案為In 1420.

【2】

一般疑問句用yes或no來回答。根據(jù)第三段“this has more to do with what the palace stands for than what it looks like”名字與外貌不怎么相關(guān)，更多的是與它代表的事物有關(guān)。故答案為No, it doesn’t.

【3】

根據(jù)第二段“A 52-meter-wide-moatencircles a 9.9 –meter- high wall”可知護(hù)城河寬度是52米。故答案為52 meters (wide).

【4】

根據(jù)第四段“the Ziwei star …the palace of the God Emperor, which is called Ziweigong, or Ziwei palace, was located on this star”可知古代皇帝的宮殿位于紫微星上。故答案為On the ziwei star.

【5】

根據(jù)最后一段“In Chinese culture, the color purple stands for good luck”以及“it also stands for nobility”可知在中國文化里，紫色代表好運(yùn)和高貴。故答案為Good luck and nobility.
