The Palace Museum, known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the early 5th century, the capital of the Ming dynasty was moved
9、 from Nanjing to Beijing. Twenty four emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties ruled in the Forbidden City. The last dynasty fell in 1911, but Emperor Puyi still lived in the inner court. It was not until 1925 that the complex was converted into a museum. Since then the palace has been open to the pu
10、blic.2. The large-scale construction involved 100,000 artisans and 1,000,000 civilians. The material needed for building the palace came from all over the country.

20、5, choose the correct answer A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on the Answer Sheet. In my early childhood I received no formal religious education. I did, of course, receive the ethical and moral training that moral and conscientious parents give their children. When I was about ten years old, my par
21、ents decided that it would be good for me to receive some formal religious instruction and to study the Bible, if for no other reason than that knowledge of both is essential to the understanding of literature and culture. As lapsed Catholics, they sought a group which had as little doctrine and dog
22、ma as possible, but what they considered good moral arid ethical values. After some searching, they joined the local Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. Although my parents did not attend Meetings for Worship very often, I went to First Day School there regularly, eventually completing the
23、course and receiving an inscribed Bible. At the Quaker school, I learned about the concept of the “inner light“ and it has stayed with me. I was, however, unable to accept the idea of Jesus Christ being any more divine than, say, Buddha. As a result, I became estranged from the Quakes who, though be
24、lieving in substantially the same moral and ethical values as I do, and even the same religious concept of the inner light, had arrived at these conclusions from a premise which I could not accept. I admit that my religion is the poorer for having no revealed word and no supreme prophet, but my inhe
25、rited aversion to dogmatism limits my faith to a Supreme Being and the goodness of man. Later, at another Meeting for Worship, I found that some Quakers had similar though not so strong reservations about the Christian aspects of their belief. I made some attempt to rejoin an organized religious gro
26、up; I did not wish to become one again. I do attend Meeting for Worship on occasion, but it is for the help in deep contemplation which it brings rather than any lingering desire to rejoin the fold. I do believe in a “Supreme Being“(or ground of our Being, as Tillich would call it). This Being is in
27、effable and not to be fully understood by humans. He is not cut off from the world and we can know him somewhat through the knowledge which we are limited to the world. He is interested and concerned for humankind, but on man himself falls the burden of his own life. To me the message of the great p
28、rophets, especially Jesus, is that good is its own reward, and indeed the only possible rewards are intrinsic in the actions themselves. The relationship between each human and Supreme Being is an entirely personal one. It is my faith that each person has this unique relationship with the Supreme Be
29、ing. To me that is the meaning of the inner light. The purpose of life, insofar as a human can grasp it, is to understand and increase this lifeline to the Supreme Being, this piece of divinity that every human has. Thus, the taking of any life by choice is the closing of some connection to God, and
30、 unconscionable. Killing anyone not only denies them their purpose, but corrupts the purpose of all men.（分数：14.00）(1).The author of the preceding passage is most probably writing in order to _.（分数：2.00）A.persuade a friend to convert to QuakerismB.reassure a Friend that he has not become immoralC.exp
