Answer 1

分析 本文主要介绍Windsor Castle的地理位置及历史．

解答 61．to 考查固定搭配．next to意为"紧靠…旁边，贴近"，是固定搭配．
62．to protect 考查动词不定式．此处动词不定式表示目的．
63．occupied 考查过去分词．castle是名词，其前用形容词作定语，occupied意为"在使用的"．
64．If 考查连词．根据句意：如果城堡会说话，它们会有许多故事要讲．用连词if引导条件状语从句．
65．died  考查动词时态．and是并列连词，它前后连接两个相同的语法成分，was与died都是一般过去时，构成并列谓语．
66．secretly 考查副词．sleep是动词，要用副词修饰，名词secret的副词是secretly．
67．But 考查连词．此处表示转折关系，用连词but．
68．attractions 考查名词．one of意为"…之一"，后接名词复数，即attractions．
69．including 考查现在分词．artworks与include之间是动宾关系，用现在分词短语作状语．
70．than 考查比较级．分析句子结构，两个动词不定式短语to learn ab out England和to enjoy some of the country's finest scenery之间比较，用than．
