问题    Free Entry to Palace of Versailles—Save $ 18!
   The Palace of Versailles is one of the largest and most splendid castles in the world. Having around 2 143 windows, 1 252 fireplaces and 67 staircases, the castle is one of the most visited attractions in France.
   As a fine example of 18th-century French art, this historic building has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage (遗产) List for 30 years.
   At first it was just a hunting house built by Louis VIII. But Louis XIV chose the site to build the palace we know today, the symbol of royal absolutism (王权专制) and classical seat of power in 1789, but got a new role in the 19th century as the Museum of the History of France, which was founded when Louis Philippe became the king in 1830.
   This historic castle with its beautiful architecture and gardens, and long history, is a must-visit sight on a sightseeing trip to Paris.
   - Opening Times
   High season: 1 April ~ 31 October every day except Mondays 9: 00 ~ 18: 30. Last admission: 18: 00.
   Low season: 1 November -31 March every day except Mondays 9: 00 ~ 17: 30. Last admission: 17: 00.
   - Entry to the Palace
   To get to the Palace of Versailles by RER C (大区快铁C线) rail line, make sure to buy a "Paris-Versailles River Gauche" ticket (zones 1-4).
   With a Paris Pass you can visit the palace free of charge—that’s a saving of 18 Euros. Please note that Versailles is outside zone 3, but a single RER train ticket to Versailles will cost you only $3. 25.
   With a Paris Pass you don’t need to queue up, but can use privileged Pass holder entry, a great benefit if you are visiting during the busy spring or summer seasons.
   Note: Your entry does not include the musical fountain shows. When the water shows are taking place you will be unable to visit the gardens unless you purchase a separate ticket.  [br] What can we learn about the Palace of Versailles?
选项 A、It was used as a museum at first.
B、It was built in memory of Louis XIV.
C、It was the official seat of power in 1830.
D、It is not so busy in November as in October.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。可用排除法。根据第四段首句At first it was just a hunting house built by Louis VIII可知，凡尔赛宫最初不是博物馆，故A项错误；根据第四段第二句中的the symbol of royal absolutism and classical seat of power in 1789可知，凡尔赛宫的修建是为了中央集权和王权专制，并不是为了纪念路易十四，故B项错误；根据第四段最后一句可知，1830年它成了博物馆，故C项错误。根据Opening times部分中的High season：1 April～31 October和Low season：1 November～31 March可知，10月是旺季，而11月是淡季，故D项正确。
