阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When you are about to go to a boarding school in England, there are many different questions that may come to mind. But once you look at them with some perspective, you will certainly feel easy. Here is a normal boarding day.
Early Morning:
Usually boarders get up around 7: 00 am and have around an hour to take a shower and put on their uniform before breakfast.
Lessons:
Classes start at 9: 00 am and every lesson lasts for 50 minutes. After two lessons, at 10: 40 am, you’ll have a short break. The next period of classes will include two more lessons.
Lunch:
Lunch is usually held around 12: 30 pm at the dining hall, where you’ll join your friends to enjoy a hot dish. After an hour of lunch, you’ll have three or four more lessons to attend.
Dinner:
At 5: 00 pm you will have finished your school lessons for the day. Most boarding schools in the UK offer their full boarders different kinds of hot meals to choose from.
Activities/ Sports:
All boarding schools in the UK provide many different kinds of activities for their boarders, such as football, swimming, golf or art.
Prep:
An important part of boarding school life is the supervised homework session known as “prep”. Although prep might sound stressful, it’s a great way for you to keep up with your studies.
Free time:
Once you are done with all your classes and activities, it’s time to relax.
Bedtime:
In most boarding schools, the lights go out around 10: 30 pm.
Being nervous just before you go to a boarding school is completely normal and understandable. Hopefully, being aware of the usual routine you’ll be following can help you. Once you are there, you will also see how exciting life in a boarding school in England can be.
1. What can help you keep up with your studies in the boarding school
A. Doing activities. B. Having lessons.
C. Enjoying free time. D. Supervised homework sessions.
2. What do we know about boarding schools in England from the text
A Classes usually start at 8: 30 am.
B. Students can have a short break after four lessons.
C. They don’t give students any free time.
D. They turn off the lights around 10:30 pm.
3. What is the purpose of the text
A. To help students know about boarders’ life.
B. To attract more students to boarding schools.
C. To introduce a new school life.
D To advertise for boarding schools.
B
If you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit — right Actually, no. A banana peel can take up to two years to be naturally processed, and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of discarded banana peels. An orange peel and a cigarette butt has a similar biodegrading (生物降解) term to that of a banana peel, but tin cans last up to 100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles.
Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we can’t merely measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is discarded in the UK every day.
It’s not a cheap habit either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers 500 million, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to 1 billion. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping you could face a 20,000 fine or even jail time and, if you disposed of something dangerous, the court could give you five years to serve. Regardless of how severe these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2,000 were found guilty out of 825,000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules.
4. What does the underlined word “discarded” in para1 mean
A. Harmless. B. Processed. C. Thrown. D. Long-lasting.
5. Which of the following has the longest biodegrading term
A. Glass bottles. B. Tin cans. C. Cigarette butts. D. Banana peels.
6. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The severity of rubbish can be measured by its lifetime.
B. Quite a few people were found guilty of illegally littering.
C. Every year UK taxpayers spend 500 million keeping streets free of dirt.
D. Cigarette-related litter and peels can be ignored for their fairly short lifetime.
7. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To inform readers of different biodegrading terms.
B. To call for people not to litter illegally.
C. To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags.
D. To stress the importance of good behavior.
C
The health benefits of staying active are already well-known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.
After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besides the named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.
In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.
Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.
Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.
8. How is the study conducted
A. By doing comparative experiments. B. By analyzing previous data.
C. By evaluating survey information. D. By tracking participants for a long time.
9. What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to
A. Ball sports. B. Racket sports.
C. Individual sports. D. Traditional sports.
10 What can we infer from paragraph 5
A. Few people will play football. B. Tennis will become more popular.
C. The result of this study is wrong. D. The study needs to be further improved.
11. What does the author advise people to do
A. Stick to any sport that you like. B. Play badminton and tennis only.
C. Stop running and playing football. D. Do any sport according to guidelines.
D
If businesses are to get those workers unwilling to go back to work to their position, finding ways to keep people who work together or meet at social gatherings between 2 to more than 2 meters will be the issue that needs handling badly. An Israeli company thinks it can help, using smart sensors hung on workplace ceilings.
PointGrab developed its technology before the pandemic to help workspace managers optimize (优化)how employees use office space. About the size of a smoke alarm, the sensors can record the exact number and location of people in buildings including offices, hotels and restaurants.
One of the company’s first clients was Deloitte, which installed the system at its flagship London office last year, PointGrab’s sensors were connected to screens in the building to show the availability of desks and shared areas in real time. PointGrab CEO Doron Shachar says it was one of a range of innovations that helped Deloitte fit 30% more people into 3% less space.
Now PointGrab has adapted the technology so the sensors can also monitor social distancing by keeping track of how far apart people are, and whether they’re traveling in one direction around a building. Workspace managers can set up alerts for when two people are closer than two meters for more than 30 seconds, for example.
The sensors have been included in the “six feet office” concept created by real estate services company Cushman & Wakefield to encourage employees to practice social distancing. They are currently being used in this way at a university in the Netherlands, and at an innovation hub in Belgium.
While the social distancing innovation is new, PointGrab has deployed more than 10, 000 sensors for workspace optimization, including in the offices of Coca-cola, Facebook and Dell.
Workers might not like the idea, but PointGrab says no images or identifying features are recorded. Instead, each employee is represented as an anonymous dot on a dashboard. “The sensor does not violate people’s privacy,” Shachar says. “ This is extremely important in the workspace.”
12. What is the key to getting the workers back into the office now
A. Maintaining social distance B. Minding their own business
C. Offering more social interactions D. Keeping workplace ceilings clean
13. What does the underlined word “deployed” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Delayed B. Inserted C. Chaired D. Fixed
14. What can workers expect of smart sensors according to the text
A. They could stop the viruses from spreading
B. They may help reduce energy consumption
C. They can protect their privacy effectively.
D. They will help record their images clearly
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Smart Sensors——a Way to Monitor the Workers in the Office
B. Smart Sensors——Tool to Track Social Distancing in the Office
C. PointGrab——a Pioneer to Use Smart Sensors in the Office
D 2 or more than 2 Meters——a Suitable Social Distancing

California will be the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products.___16___It will go into effect on January 1, 2023.
California’s fur law was one of several bills designed to prevent cruelty to animals. “California is a leader when it comes to animal protection and today that leadership includes banning the sale of fur, ” said Governor Newsom in a news report. “___17___We are making a statement to the world that beautiful wild animals like bears and tigers have no place on trapeze (高空秋千) wires or jumping through flames.”___18___More than a dozen European countries, including the United Kingdom, Austria, Norway and the Netherlands have also passed laws to limit the fur trade.

Many retailers are also ending fur sales. In mid-October, Macy’s (American’s department store) announced it will stop fur from all its stores by the end of 2020. The stores will also close all fur vaults and salons. Other fashion brands such as Prada, Gucci, Michael Kors and Burberry have taken similar steps in recent years.
A. But we are doing more than that.
B. California is taking the lead in protecting animals.
C. Similar laws have been carried out globally already.
D. And that in turn will leave many people unemployed.
E. Two other California cities had already banned fur sales.

If you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit — right Actually, no. A banana peel can take up to two years to be naturally processed, and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of discarded banana peels. An orange peel and a cigarette butt has a similar biodegrading (生物降解) term to that of a banana peel, but tin cans last up to 100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles.
Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we can’t merely measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is discarded in the UK every day.
It’s not a cheap habit either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers 500 million and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to 1 billion. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping you could face a 20,000 fine or even jail time and, if you disposed of something dangerous, the court could give you five years to serve. Regardless of how severe these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2,000 were found guilty out of 825,000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules.
4. What does the underlined word “discarded” in para1 mean
A. Harmless. B. Processed. C. Thrown. D. Long-lasting.
5. Which of the following has the longest biodegrading term
A. Glass bottles. B. Tin cans. C. Cigarette butts. D. Banana peels.
6. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The severity of rubbish can be measured by its lifetime.
B. Quite a few people were found guilty of illegally littering.
C. Every year UK taxpayers spend 500 million keeping streets free of dirt.
D. Cigarette-related litter and peels can be ignored for their fairly short lifetime.
7. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To inform readers of different biodegrading terms.
B. To call for people not to litter illegally.
C. To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags.
D. To stress the importance of good behavior.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B

The health benefits of staying active are already well-known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.
After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besides the named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.
In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.
Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.
Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.
8. How is the study conducted
A. By doing comparative experiments. B. By analyzing previous data.
C. By evaluating survey information. D. By tracking participants for a long time.
9. What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to
A. Ball sports. B. Racket sports.
C. Individual sports. D. Traditional sports.
10. What can we infer from paragraph 5
A. Few people will play football. B. Tennis will become more popular.
C. The result of this study is wrong. D. The study needs to be further improved.
11. What does the author advise people to do
A. Stick to any sport that you like. B. Play badminton and tennis only.
C. Stop running and playing football. D. Do any sport according to guidelines.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The study evaluated responses from 80,306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.”（这项研究评估了英格兰和苏格兰80306名30岁及以上成年人关于他们的健康，生活方式和运动模式的调查反馈。）由此可知，这个研究是通过评估调查问卷来进行的。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。第二段开头提到打羽毛球和网球对减少死亡率的巨大作用，接下来的介绍用调查研究来证明这个结论。根据“ After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise ”可知，研究中评估了参与实验人员的年龄、性别、体重、吸烟习惯、饮酒、受教育程度以及包括指定运动在内的其他运动形式等因素。由此可知指的是段首提到的羽毛球和网球，再根据下文“47% for racket sports,”可知，the named sports指的就是羽毛球和网球。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.”（跑步和足球明显缺乏益处可能是由于没有考虑到几个变量造成的。）可知，这个研究没有发现跑步和足球明显的好处，可能是由于几个没有考虑到的变量造成的。这说明，这个研究还是有不足之处的地方，研究需要进一步改善。故选D。

If businesses are to get those workers unwilling to go back to work to their position, finding ways to keep people who work together or meet at social gatherings between 2 to more than 2 meters will be the issue that needs handling badly. An Israeli company thinks it can help, using smart sensors hung on workplace ceilings.
PointGrab developed its technology before the pandemic to help workspace managers optimize (优化)how employees use office space. About the size of a smoke alarm, the sensors can record the exact number and location of people in buildings including offices, hotels and restaurants.
One of the company’s first clients was Deloitte, which installed the system at its flagship London office last year, PointGrab’s sensors were connected to screens in the building to show the availability of desks and shared areas in real time. PointGrab CEO Doron Shachar says it was one of a range of innovations that helped Deloitte fit 30% more people into 3% less space.
Now PointGrab has adapted the technology so the sensors can also monitor social distancing by keeping track of how far apart people are, and whether they’re traveling in one direction around a building. Workspace managers can set up alerts for when two people are closer than two meters for more than 30 seconds, for example.
The sensors have been included in the “six feet office” concept created by real estate services company Cushman & Wakefield to encourage employees to practice social distancing. They are currently being used in this way at a university in the Netherlands, and at an innovation hub in Belgium.
While the social distancing innovation is new, PointGrab has deployed more than 10, 000 sensors for workspace optimization, including in the offices of Coca-cola, Facebook and Dell.
Workers might not like the idea, but PointGrab says no images or identifying features are recorded. Instead, each employee is represented as an anonymous dot on a dashboard. “The sensor does not violate people’s privacy,” Shachar says. “ This is extremely important in the workspace.”
12. What is the key to getting the workers back into the office now
A. Maintaining social distance B. Minding their own business
C. Offering more social interactions D. Keeping workplace ceilings clean
13. What does the underlined word “deployed” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Delayed B. Inserted C. Chaired D. Fixed
14. What can workers expect of smart sensors according to the text
A. They could stop the viruses from spreading
B. They may help reduce energy consumption
C. They can protect their privacy effectively.
D. They will help record their images clearly
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Smart Sensors——a Way to Monitor the Workers in the Office
B. Smart Sensors——Tool to Track Social Distancing in the Office
C. PointGrab——a Pioneer to Use Smart Sensors in the Office
D. 2 or more than 2 Meters——a Suitable Social Distancing
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种智能传感器，能够跟踪办公室里社交距离，用来优化工作环境，防止病毒在员工之间传播。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“If businesses are to get those workers unwilling to go back to work to their position, finding ways to keep people who work together or meet at social gatherings between 2 to more than 2 meters will be the issue that needs handling badly. (如果企业想让那些不愿回去工作的员工回到自己的岗位上，那么想办法让一起工作或在社交聚会上见面的人保持两米到两米以上的距离，将是非常需要处理的问题。)”可知，现在让员工回到办公室的关键是保持社交距离。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文（第五段第一句）“The sensors have been included in the “six feet office” concept created by real estate services company Cushman & Wakefield to encourage employees to practice social distancing. (这些传感器被包括在房地产服务公司Cushman & Wakefield设计的“六英尺办公室”概念中，以鼓励员工保持社交距离。)”说明这些传感器要放置在办公室里，从而推知划线词句“While the social distancing innovation is new, PointGrab has deployed more than 10, 000 sensors for workspace optimization, including in the offices of Coca-cola, Facebook and Dell.(虽然社交距离创新是个新事情，但PointGrab已经deployed了1万多个传感器来优化工作空间，包括在Coca-cola、Facebook和Dell的办公室。)”其中划线短语应为“安装；安置”的意思，选项D“安装”与之意义最为接近。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Workers might not like the idea, but PointGrab says no images or identifying features are recorded. Instead, each employee is represented as an anonymous dot on a dashboard. (工作人员可能不喜欢这个主意，但PointGrab表示，没有记录图像或识别特征。相反，每个员工都被表示为仪表板上的一个匿名点。)”以及Shachar所说“The sensor does not violate people’s privacy. (这种传感器不会侵犯人们的隐私。)”可以推知，工作人员期望智能传感器能够有效地保护自己的隐私。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段中“About the size of a smoke alarm, the sensors can record the exact number and location of people in buildings including offices, hotels and restaurants. (这种传感器大小和烟雾报警器差不多，可以记录办公楼、酒店和餐馆等建筑内人员的确切人数和位置。)”以及第四段中“Now PointGrab has adapted the technology so the sensors can also monitor social distancing by keeping track of how far apart people are, and whether they’re traveling in one direction around a building. (现在，PointGrab对这项技术进行了改进，这样传感器也可以通过跟踪人们之间的距离，以及他们是否在大楼的一个方向上旅行，来监控社交距离。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种智能传感器，能够跟踪办公室里的社交距离。选项B“智能传感器——跟踪办公室社交距离的工具”突出主题，适合做标题。故选B项。

California will be the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products.___16___It will go into effect on January 1, 2023.
California’s fur law was one of several bills designed to prevent cruelty to animals. “California is a leader when it comes to animal protection and today that leadership includes banning the sale of fur, ” said Governor Newsom in a news report. “___17___We are making a statement to the world that beautiful wild animals like bears and tigers have no place on trapeze (高空秋千) wires or jumping through flames.”___18___More than a dozen European countries, including the United Kingdom, Austria, Norway and the Netherlands have also passed laws to limit the fur trade.
____19____“The signing of the ban shows the point that today’s customers simply don’t want wild animals to suffer extreme pain and fear while keeping up with the fashion,” said Kitty Block, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States and president of Humane Society International. Not everyone, however, was pleased with the ban. Banning the killing of animals for their fur means killing the fur business, says Hyatt, an owner of a fur store.___20___
Many retailers are also ending fur sales. In mid-October, Macy’s (American’s department store) announced it will stop fur from all its stores by the end of 2020. The stores will also close all fur vaults and salons. Other fashion brands such as Prada, Gucci, Michael Kors and Burberry have taken similar steps in recent years.
A. But we are doing more than that.
B. California is taking the lead in protecting animals.
C. Similar laws have been carried out globally already.
D. And that in turn will leave many people unemployed.
E. Two other California cities had already banned fur sales.
F. Not surprisingly the ban is welcomed by animal rights activists.
G. The ban applies to clothing, shoes, handbags and other things that contain fur.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了加州通过了一项禁止销售和生产新毛皮产品的法律及对其实施后可能出现的问题的探讨。
【详解】1.结合空白处前“California will be the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products.”加州将是第一个禁止销售和生产新毛皮产品的州。可以推断，接下来讲述的是这个禁令会应用于哪些产品上。选项G."The ban applies to clothing, shoes, handbags and other things that contain fur."该禁令适用于服装、鞋子、手提包和其它含有毛皮的物品。和文意相符合，故选G。
2.结合本段中“California is a leader when it comes to animal protection and today that leadership includes banning the sale of fur, ”加利福尼亚州在动物保护方面处于领先地位，如今，这一领导地位包括禁止销售毛皮，可知，加州在动物保护方面所做的措施增加了禁止销售毛皮的细节；根据空白处后一句“We are making a statement to the world that beautiful wild animals like bears and tigers have no place on trapeze (高空秋千) wires or jumping through flames.”我们正在向世界宣告，像熊和老虎这样珍贵的野生动物，不应该出现在空中飞人的钢丝上，也不应该在火焰中跳跃。可以推断，空白处论述的是在单纯的禁止销售毛皮措施外，加州也想全世界宣告保护野生动物的重要性。选项A.“But we are doing more than that.”但我们做的远不止这些。符合文意，故选A。
3.结合空白处后一句“More than a dozen European countries, including the United Kingdom, Austria, Norway and the Netherlands have also passed laws to limit the fur trade.”十多个欧洲国家，包括英国，奥地利，挪威和荷兰，也通过了限制毛皮贸易的法律。可以推断，空白处的内容为除了加州之外，还有国家也通过了类似的法律。选项C.“Similar laws have been carried out globally already”.类似的法律已经在全球范围内实施。符合文意，故选C。
4.结合空白处后表示转折的细节“Not everyone, however, was pleased with the ban.”然而，并不是每个人都对禁令感到满意。通过对比可知，本句之前讲述的细节是对于这个禁令赞同的人们。作为段首的句子，应为对赞同作概括。选项F.“Not surprisingly, the ban is welcomed by animal rights activists.”毫不奇怪，这项禁令受到动物权利保护者的欢迎。和空白处后的细节形成呼应。故选F。
5.结合空白处前“Banning the killing of animals for their fur means killing the fur business,”禁止猎杀动物获取毛皮意味着扼杀毛皮生意，可知接下来，作为顺承关系，理应讲到的是没有这种生意之后的其他结果，选项D.“And that in turn will leave many people unemployed.”这反过来会导致很多人失业。符合文意，故选D。

考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：随着季节的变换，会患感冒或得流感的风险更高，而有灰尘的风扇会增加这样的风险。整个篇章都是在用一般现在时态表述。再加上前面一句中的often miss是一般现在时态。后面使用的是情态动词can，故推知此题必填一般现在时态形式，主语为a higher risk of catching a cold or flu。故填exists。

考查动词不定式表目的状语的用法。句意：为了除去油渍，你可以使用这样一个方法解决：即醋、水、洗碗清洁剂和烤熟的苏打一起清洗来除去油渍。这里根据后半句的you could use a solution….可以推知此题的考点是动词不定式作目的状语。置于句首要大写。故填To remove。

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者的园艺爱好。
【详解】第一处：考查名词的数。句意：在我所有的爱好中，园艺使我特别高兴。名词hobby为可数名词，根据前面的all修饰可知用复数形式。故将hobby改为hobbies。

第三处：考查冠词。句意：每个季节，我都能在我的院子里看到各种各样的花。a variety of各种各样的。故将the改为a。

It is nice to receive your email. Now I’d like to tell you some thing about the Palace Museum.
The Palace Museum was called the Forbidden City in the past. It took 200,000 workers more than 14 years to build it, which was finished in 1420. As one of the largest museums in the world, the Palace Museum holds the cultural treasures from the past 5,000 years of Chinese history. The City’s palaces have 9,999 rooms altogether. Chinese people traditionally have thought of “9” as a lucky number. Students from all over China can now visit it in groups free of charge every Tuesday. And every year, millions of foreigners from all over the world come to visit it.
I hope you can come to China and take a look at this museum with your own eyes.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
