Hearst Castle was built by William Randolph Hearst between 1922 and 1939, at a cost of more than $30 million—about $277 million today.I spent all day looking around, but a day wasn't enough time to see everything. There was so much to see. Hearst Castle has four houses. The main house, “Casa Grande”, is much bigger than the other three, which were used for guests. Many of these guests were Hollywood film stars, and they often came to Hearst's parties.At Hearst Castle, there are 56 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms and 19 sitting rooms. There are also beautiful gardens, a garage for 25 large cars and two swimming pools, one inside and a larger one outside. I loved the one outside, the “Neptune Pool”—it was a pity we couldn't go swimming!I found the tour very helpful. The guide told me that Hearst, at the age of ten, toured Europe with his mother, looking at paintings and castles. He never forgot this tour and decided that he wanted his house to look like a castle.Hearst died in 1951, and his family gave Hearst Castle to the people of California. It is now a museum.阅读短文,根据其内容对下列句子进行判断。

学英语简单吗?肯定会有许多学生说:“难死了”。
为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢?答案只有一个:“不得法。
”英语与汉语一样都是一种语言,为什么你说汉语会如此流利?那是因为你置身于一个汉语环境中,如果你在伦敦呆上半年,保准说起英语来会非常流利。
但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境,那么你可以自己设置一个英语环境,坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”,那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。
一、多“说”。
自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语,见了同学,尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候,谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典,遇到生词时查一下这些生词,也不用刻意去记,用的多了,这个单词自然而然就会记住。
千万别把学英语当成负担,始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。
或许你有机会碰上外国人,你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼,和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪,婚史等私人问题。
尽量用一些你学过的词汇,句子去和他谈天说地。
不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。
因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇,而且不太看重说法,你只要发音准确,准能顺利地交流下去。
只是你必须要有信心,敢于表达自己的思想。
如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系,你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象,对它谈你一天的所见所闻,谈你的快乐,你的悲伤等等,长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。
二、多“听”寻找一切可以听英语的机会。
别人用英语交谈时,你应该大胆地去参与,多听听各种各样人的发音,男女老少,节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到,如果这样的机会少的话,你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听,这将会对你帮助很大,而你去听学过的课文的磁带,那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。
三、多“读”。
“读”可以分为两种。
一种是“默读”。
每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提高阅读速度有很大的好处,读的内容可以是你的课本,但最好是一些有趣的小读物,因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。

Hearst Castle was built by William Randolph Hearst between 1922 and 1939, at a cost of more than $30 million—about $277 million today.I spent all day looking around, but a day wasn't enough time to see everything. There was so much to see. Hearst Castle has four houses. The main house, “Casa Grande”, is much bigger than the other three, which were used for guests. Many of these guests were Hollywood film stars, and they often came to Hearst's parties.At Hearst Castle, there are 56 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms and 19 sitting rooms. There are also beautiful gardens, a garage for 25 large cars and two swimming pools, one inside and a larger one outside. I loved the one outside, the “Neptune Pool”—it was a pity we couldn't go swimming!I found the tour very helpful. The guide told me that Hearst, at the age of ten, toured Europe with his mother, looking at paintings and castles. He never forgot this tour and decided that he wanted his house to look like a castle.Hearst died in 1951, and his family gave Hearst Castle to the people of California. It is now a museum.阅读短文,根据其内容对下列句子进行判断。
正确的,请选择A;错误的,请选择B;文中没有提及的,请选择C。

It got this name because it spends most of its time in the Arctic seas. It is also called by other names, for example, the white bear or the ice bear. When a polar bear gets out of the sea, it shakes water from its fur like a dog or it removes the water by rolling on the ice.(61) It is very cold where polar bears live. The temperature is very often as low as-55℃.The polar bear is the largest meat-eating animal on land. The male weighs from 350 to 650 kg and he is two and a half to three metres long — almost as long as a car. A polar bear's skin is black but its fur has no colour — it looks white when the sun shines on the ice. It has big feet so it can stand easily on the ice.The polar bear likes to live alone. It walks long distances, sometimes 30 km a day, because it needs to find food. The bear eats fish and it also enjoys seal meat. It goes swimming or lies in the sun when it isn't looking for food!It is a very good swimmer. The female bear usually has two babies once every three years. The babies, or cubs, are born in November. Sometimes the cubs die in their first year because they have an accident or they don't get enough food to eat. (62) If they live, they stay with their mother for nearly two years but then they must leave her to go and live alone on the ice.There are only about 25,000 polar bears alive today. The areas where they live have many problems with pollution, and there are also problems with thin ice. Polar bears need your help!A)将文中划线的61、62小题的两处句子分别翻译成汉语。
