题目内容
20.If there is a building which symbolizes a country-such as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australia-then it has to be the Taj Mahal for India.It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653in memory of his wife,Mumtaz Mahal.From the time they got married,they wouldn't be separated.She followed him to wars,advised him on affairs of state,and was loved by his people for her good work.But she died in 1631during childbirth.The emperor was heart-broken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.
It took more than 20years for the Taj Mahal to be built.Workers were brought in,not only from all over India,but from Central Asia too.A total of 20,000people worked on the building.
In 1657,Shah Jahan fell ill,and in 1658his son Aurangzeb,imprisoned (囚禁) his father and seized power.Shah Jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666.He was finally buried there with his wife he could never forget.
The Taj Mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit.As it is built with white marble stones,its character changes in different lights.It looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset.At sunset,for example,the colour of the Taj changes from white to yellow,then to pink.As the moon rises,it turns a silvery white.
To show respect to the Taj,tourists are asked to take off their shoes during their visit.

解答 1-3 BCA
1.B 细节理解题.根据文章第二段中的"It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife"可知,妻子Mahal死后皇帝伤心欲绝,修建泰姬陵的目的是为了纪念死去的妻子.
2.C 细节理解题.根据文章第三段中的"Workers were brought in,not only from all over India,but from Central Asia too."可知,建造泰姬陵的工人既有印度人又有中亚人,因此不全是来自中亚的.
3.A 推理判断题.根据文章第四段的描述可知,Shah Jahan晚年被自己的儿子囚禁起来并被剥夺了权利,直到去世.由此可以推断,他的晚年生活肯定非常艰难.
