    解答 56．C 细节理解题．根据文中句子In 1957，the Hearst Coiporation donated the fortune to the state of California可知赫斯特公司把财富捐赠给了加利福尼亚州，所以答案选D．
    57．D 细节理解题．在Tour Four里提到了wine basement，所以答案选D．
    58．C 理解计算题．通过第一个表格及表格下注释内容进行计算可知，大人的收费是没人24元，低于六岁的孩子免费，所以答案选B．
    59．B 细节理解题．根据第二个表格可知，February的星期一是从上午九点到下午五点，所以A不正确；九月和十月的六点和七点还不开始售票，所以答案是B．

    点评 本文考查细节题为主，细节题可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息？或是其变体．搜查信息在阅读中非常重要它包括理解作者在叙述某事时使用的具体事实、数据、图表等细节信息．在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节．做这类题一般采用寻读法？即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，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．
