答案： 36.stands. 考查动词时态。句意：紫禁城是中国最著名的地标之一，位于北京中心，承载着600多年的历史。此处为谓语动词，描述客观事实，用一般现在时；主语The Forbidden City为单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式stands。故填stands。
37.to reflect 考查非谓语动词。句意：游客常常对宏伟的宫殿和精致的花园感到惊叹，这些建筑设计精准，体现了中国传统文化。此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合句意，此处表示目的，所以使用不定式作目的状语。故填to reflect。
38.glory 考查名词。句意：复杂的雕刻和金色的屋顶在阳光下闪耀，增添了宫殿的辉煌。形容词性物主代词palace’s后接名词，glorious的名词形式为glory意为“辉煌”，表抽象概念，为不可数名词。故填glory。
39.impressive 考查形容词比较级。句意：虽然中国有许多历史遗迹，但很少有比紫禁城更令人印象深刻的。此处为形容词作表语，impress的形容词为im-pressive意为“令人印象深刻的”，与空前的more构成形容词的比较级形式作表语。故填impressive。
40.where 考查定语从句。句意：这里是古代艺术与皇权完美结合的地方，每年吸引数百万游客。此处为关系词引导的是定语从句，从句中不缺主语和宾语，先行词place表示地点，所以使用关系副词where引导。故填where。
41.for 考查介词。句意：严格的规定已被实施，以防止粗心的游客对其造成破坏，确保它的魅力能完好地保留给子孙后代。固定搭配reserve sth. for sb.意为“为某人保留某物”符合句意，所以此处使用介词for。故填for。
42.covering 考查非谓语动词。句意：冬季的紫禁城尤其神奇，一层薄薄的雪覆盖着屋顶，使金砖更加闪耀。when引导的非限制性定从句中已经有谓语动词makes，所以此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰snow，snow与cover为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填covering。
43.have been used 考查动词语态。句意：近年来，现代技术已被用于保护和修复这座古老的杰作。此处为谓语动词，时间状语In recent years表明动作从过去持续到现在，用现在完成时；technologies与use为被动关系，用现在完成时的被动语态，主语为复数。故填have been used。
44.its 考查代词。句意：多亏了这些努力，人们可以在未来的几个世纪里继续欣赏它的壮丽。修饰名词magnificence用it的形容词性物主代词its，意为“它的”。故填its。
45.a 考查冠词。句意：对于那些热爱历史和建筑的人来说，参观紫禁城是必须的。must在此处为可数名词，意为“必须做的事”，表泛指“一件必须做的事”，且must以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。故填a。
