Question

【題目】 What does Beijing’s Palace Museum look like at night? Many people don’t know the answer to this question, as it closes at around 4:30 p.m in winter and 5:00 p.m in summer. However, to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Beijing’s Palace Museum opened its door to the public after dark——for two nights only. That’s a first in 94 years! Although people could get free tickets on the museum’s website, it was difficult to get a ticket. The website even stopped working for a while because too many people visited it at the same time. Zhang Zhifu, a 77-year-old woman, received a ticket from the museum as a gift. “I grew up in Beijing and I visited the Palace Museum every year, but I never got to see it at night. It is truly an honor.” She said.

In the past celebrating the Lantern Festival was a tradition for the imperial(皇帝的) family. “We want to pass the tradition on and give people more festival experience.” Said Shan Jixiong, the head of the Palace Museum. On the night of February 19th, 2019, about 3,000 visitors spent the Lantern Festival in the Palace Museum.

【解析】

這篇短文主要介紹了在晚上物北京博物館。

【1】細節(jié)理解。文中第一段中的“as it closes at around 4:30p.m in the winter”可知北京故宮博物館在冬天時是 4：30 關(guān)門的。故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解。文中第一段中的“Beijing’s Palace Museum opened its door to the public afterdark——for two nights only.”可知北京故宮博物館在晚上對大眾開放兩晚。故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解。文中第二段中的“The website even stopped working for a while because too many people visited it at the same time.”可知網(wǎng)站停止工作是因為同一時間有太多 人訪問。B、C 項文中沒有提及，D 選項是錯誤，由文中第二段“it was difficult to get a ticket.”可知，想要的得到票的人要多，導致一票難求。故選A。

【4】細節(jié)理解。文中第二段中的“I grew up in Beijing and I visited the Palace Museum every year. ”可知這位老人是在北京長大的，C 選項正確。A 項錯誤，由第二段 Zhang Zhifu, a 77-year-old woman, received a ticket from the museum as a gift.可知，張芝傅是就收到了票。B 項錯誤，第一段就說明博物館夜間向大眾開放了兩晚，這是 九十四年來的第一次。選項錯誤，與文中最后一句句意相反“On the night of February 19th,2019, about 3,000 visitors spent the Lantern Festival in the Palace Museum.”在 2019 年 2 月 19 日的晚上，有大約 3000 人參觀博物館。故選C。

【5】細節(jié)理解。文中最后一句“On the night of February 19th,2019, about 3,000 visitors spent the Lantern Festival in the Palace Museum.”可知 2019 年 2 月 19 日 3000 人在博物 館一起度過了 the Lantern Festival（元宵節(jié)）。故選B。
