Answer 1

分析 本文主要介紹Windsor Castle的地理位置及歷史．

解答 61．to 考查固定搭配．next to意為"緊靠…旁邊，貼近"，是固定搭配．
62．to protect 考查動詞不定式．此處動詞不定式表示目的．
63．occupied 考查過去分詞．castle是名詞，其前用形容詞作定語，occupied意為"在使用的"．
64．If 考查連詞．根據句意：如果城堡會說話，它們會有許多故事要講．用連詞if引導條件狀語從句．
65．died  考查動詞時態(tài)．and是并列連詞，它前后連接兩個相同的語法成分，was與died都是一般過去時，構成并列謂語．
66．secretly 考查副詞．sleep是動詞，要用副詞修飾，名詞secret的副詞是secretly．
67．But 考查連詞．此處表示轉折關系，用連詞but．
68．attractions 考查名詞．one of意為"…之一"，后接名詞復數，即attractions．
69．including 考查現(xiàn)在分詞．artworks與include之間是動賓關系，用現(xiàn)在分詞短語作狀語．
70．than 考查比較級．分析句子結構，兩個動詞不定式短語to learn ab out England和to enjoy some of the country's finest scenery之間比較，用than．
