一、阅读理解题（共8题）
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.

HUTONG
Every year thousands of tourists come to China. They come to see the great sights of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City but often it is the hutongs that leave the strongest impression (印象), as they offer travelers an unusual view into Beijing's past. Hutongs connect courtyards of traditional houses and are a feature of ancient Chinese building. Beijing's hutongs are especially famous, however, as there are thousands of them. Nowadays, the word "hutong" has come to mean more than just the alleys (小巷), which connect the courtyards. It also refers to the courtyards themselves and even the communities.
Most of Beijing's hutongs were built between the 13th and 19th centuries during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. To help them manage the city, the Emperors (皇帝) during these periods organized different areas of Beijing and had houses built around courtyards. The Emperor's home, the Forbidden City, was in the centre of Beijing and the homes of the nobles (贵族) and rich people were in hutongs closest to the palace. Normal people lived in the hutongs further away from the palace.
By connecting people's homes, the hutongs in fact connected people's lives, whether the lives of the rich or the lives of the poor. Because the houses were built facing each other around courtyards, the families who lived there were an important part of each other's lives. They supported each other when help was needed and shared the happiness and sadness of everyday life. Because of the hutongs, courtyards were joined together for miles around creating a network of people working, playing and living together—a real community.
Hutongs are still an important part of Beijing's life and it is not surprising that tourists love the hutongs. They can walk up Sanmiao Street, which dates back 900 years, wander down Dongjiaominxiang—the longest hutong at 3 km, or squeeze through Qianshi—the narrowest (窄) at only 40 cm wide! The hutongs not only connect Beijing's streets and communities, but also its past and present, showing that Beijing is truly an ancient yet modern city.
(1) What do hutongs offer travelers
(2) Besides the alleys, what does the word "hutong" refer to nowadays
(3) When were most of Beijing's hutongs built
(4) What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
(5) What is special about Dongjiaominxiang
