解答 56．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中句子In 1957，the Hearst Coiporation donated the fortune to the state of California可知赫斯特公司把財富捐贈給了加利福尼亞州，所以答案選D．
57．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．在Tour Four里提到了wine basement，所以答案選D．
58．C 理解計算題．通過第一個表格及表格下注釋內(nèi)容進(jìn)行計算可知，大人的收費是沒人24元，低于六歲的孩子免費，所以答案選B．
59．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二個表格可知，F(xiàn)ebruary的星期一是從上午九點到下午五點，所以A不正確；九月和十月的六點和七點還不開始售票，所以答案是B．

點評 本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主，細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息？或是其變體．搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時使用的具體事實、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息．在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié)．做這類題一般采用尋讀法？即先讀題，然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文，找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子，再對相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對比，找出答案．

Dear editor，
I'm Wang Ping．I'm writing to offer your newspaper an article Trying to Save Both for Natural Resources and the Environment．
Saving is very important because natural resources in our world may run out one day，so we should save some for our offspring．Meanwhile，saving can help us avoid producing waste，which will make our homeland more beautiful．As students，we should make our contributions．For example，we can recycle our textbooks or use both sides of our exercise books．In this way more trees would be saved．What's more，we Chinese have a good tradition of saving and regard wasting as a shame，so we call for everybody's action to save what we can to make our beautiful life last forever．
Best wishes
Yours sincerely．
