Hearst Castle is in California, America. A person called William Randolph Hearst built it between 1922 and 1939, at a cost of more than $30 million. Last year, I had a trip to that castle.
I spent the whole day looking around. But there was much to see, and a day wasn’t enough. Hearst Castle has four houses. The main house, “Casa Grande”, is the biggest one. Visitors can live in the other three ones. Many of them are Hollywood film stars, and they often come to the parties there.
At Hearst Castle, there are also beautiful gardens and two swimming pools, one inside and a larger one outside. I loved the one outside, the “Neptune Pool”. It was a pity that we couldn’t go swimming there!
The guide told us that Mr. Hearst travelled around Europe with his mother at the age of ten and looked at paintings and castles. He never forgot that tour and wanted his house to look like a castle. When Mr Hearst died in 1951, his family gave Hearst Castle to the people of California. Now it’s a museum.
1.The underlined word “Castle” in the first paragraph means _____.
|
A．城堡 |
B．胜地 |
C．城垛 |
D．楼阁 |
2. “Casa Grande” is _____ the other three ones at Hearst Castle.
|
A．younger than |
B．bigger than |
|
C．older than |
D．smaller than |
3. There are _____ at Hearst Castle.
|
A．beautiful gardens |
B．one swimming pool inside |
|
C．one swimming pool outside |
D．all the above |
4. _____ made Mr. Hearst build this wonderful castle.
|
A．A tour around Europe |
B．The paintings and castles in Europe |
|
C．His mother |
D．His dream |
5. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
|
A．Hearst Castle in California was cheap to build. |
|
B．Hearst Castle is on a mountain near the sea. |
|
C．Many Hollywood film stars come to Hearst’s parties. |

Dear Year 5 kids,
Hello! I’m from Year 6 in Mrs. Batley’s class. However, last year I was a Year 5 kid in Mr. Poulter’s class. We went on a fantastic journey to see “The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World” by courtesy of (承蒙……的允许) Time Travel Tours Ltd. Yes, we got into their “time machine” (we had to travel this way as the wonders are all gone now except for the pyramids) and set the dials for the correct time and place. And before we knew it, we were walking around the masterpieces of architecture (建筑杰作). We sent back postcards from all seven places. Click on any of these seven locations on the map below to find out what we saw. This year’s Year 5 kids may find it very useful! So, get exploring and discover ...
Lots of love,
Holly Reardon
