【4】B

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了英國學(xué)者Reginald Johnston在1919年第一次走進(jìn)紫禁城時(shí)，大多數(shù)宮殿不允許訪問，但在一個(gè)世紀(jì)之后，599歲的宮殿成為世界最繁忙的博物館，故宮現(xiàn)在向公眾開放，并且通過線上線下結(jié)合的方式吸引更多的年輕人。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“when the People's Republic of China is to celebrate its 70th founding anniversary (周年紀(jì)念) in October, the 599-year-old palace complex (宮殿群) becomes the world's busiest museum.” 當(dāng)中華人民共和國將于10月慶祝70周年時(shí)，有599年歷史的故宮建筑群成為世界上最繁忙的博物館。故選A。

【2】數(shù)字計(jì)算。根據(jù)文中“When the Palace Museum was founded in 1925, the public could go into the palaces.”可知，2020-1925=95。故宮已經(jīng)向公眾開放95年了。故選B。

【3】推理判斷。根據(jù)文中“It felt like you were hit by hundreds of years of history.” Christopher Allen from Britain said.” 選項(xiàng)A“Foreigners are hit by hundreds of years of Chinese history.”外國人受到中國數(shù)百年歷史的沖擊。這個(gè)說法正確；根據(jù)文中“The Forbidden City is becoming more open and friendly to visitors.”可知，紫禁城對游客越來越開放和友好。選項(xiàng)B正確的；根據(jù)文中“The Palace Museum exhibition becomes a cultural phenomenon (文化現(xiàn)象) everywhere it goes.” 故宮博物院的展覽成為一種文化現(xiàn)象。選項(xiàng)D正確的；文中并沒有提到紫禁城的票價(jià)是最低的。，選項(xiàng)C“The ticket price of the Forbidden City is the lowest.”錯(cuò)誤。故選C。

【4】推理判斷。根據(jù)文中“The Forbidden City is becoming more open and friendly to visitors. It attracted about 3.5 million visitors from abroad and 9 overseas (海外的) exhibitions were held in 2018.The Palace Museum exhibition becomes a cultural phenomenon (文化現(xiàn)象) everywhere it goes.”可知，隨著中國的發(fā)展，故宮博物館以開放的姿態(tài)歡迎全世界的游客。故選B。
