三、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Look at the keyboard of any standard typewriter or computer. “Q”“W”“E”“R”“T” and“Y” are the first six letters. Who decided on this arrangement of the letters? And why?
People tried for centuries to invent the typewriter. In 1714 in England, Henry Mill filed a patent for a machine called An Artificial Machine Or Method for the Impressing or Transcribing of Letters, Singly or Progressively one after another, as in Writing, drawing upon this way all Writing may be absorbed in Paper so Neat and Exact as not to be distinguished from Print. That machine probably didn't sell because no one could remember its name!
The first practical typewriter was patented in the United States in 1868 by Christopher Latham Sholes. His machine was known as the type-writer. It had a movable carriage, a lever for turning paper from line to line, and a keyboard on which the letters were arranged in alphabetical order.
But Sholes had a problem. On his first model his“ABC” key arrangement caused the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly. Sholes didn't know how to keep the keys from sticking, so his solution was to keep the typist from typing too fast. Sholes asked his brother-in-law to rearrange the keyboard so that the commonest letters were not so close together and the type bars would come from opposite directions. Thus they would not clash together and jam the machine. The new arrangement was the QWERTY arrangement typists use today. Of course. Sholes claimed that the new arrangement was scientific and would add speed and efficiency. The only efficiency it added was to slow the typist down, since almost any word in the English language required the typist's fingers to cover more distance on the keyboard.
The advantages of the typewriter outweighed the disadvantages of the keyboard. Typists memorized the crazy letter arrangement, and the typewriter became a huge success. By the time typists had memorized the new arrangement of letters and built their speed, typewriter technology had improved, and the keys didn't stick as badly as they had at first.
36. We know from the passage that the inventor of the first practical typewriter is ________.
A. Henry Mill. B. Christopher Latham Sholes.
C. Sholes' brother-in-law. D. Albert Einstein.
37. The author thinks the machine invented by Henry Mill could not be sold because ________.
A. it was difficult for people to accept new things.
B. there were great disadvantages of the key board.
C the name of the machine was too long.
D. the machine could not be distinguished from print.
38. Sholes decided the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard in order to ________.
A. solve the problem of the keys jamming.
B. arrange the letters in alphabetical order.
C. cause the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly.
D. compete with “ABC” key arrangement.
39. It is inferred that the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard ________.
A. is the most scientific arrangement.
B. adds speed and efficiency of typists.
C. is easy for typists to memorize.
D. keeps the typist from typing too fast.
40. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. The Story of Christopher Latham Sholes.
B. How to Invent the Typewriter.
C. The First Practical Typewriter.
D. The Arrangement of the letter.
B
When I set out to drop my dad of fat the airport, it was dark and dreary(沉闷的). It started to rain on the way. When I left the airport, the visibility wasn`t clear because of the drops of rain. It was before 6 am.
Even though the road conditions were poor, I drove at my normal speed. I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive. The exit ramp (坡道) to the highway was a tight spiral(急盘旋). It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary when the weather is miserable or it is dark. But I didn`t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast. The road was wet and my car slid, landing face down on the passenger side.
I didn’t like to drive by myself at the time and had debated taking my husband and son with me on the trip. Thankfully, I was alone in the car. My accident was slight. In fact, I was lucky enough not to have a single scratch. I shuddered to think the injuries my son would have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled. After the ear rolled three times, I found my mobile phone was lost in a pile of small things that were all lying in the bottom of the car. A lady was kind enough to let me borrow her mobile phone, but with-out the numbers preprogrammed who could I call? I was lucky enough to remember my father`s mobile phone number, and fortunate that he hadn`t yet got on his plane.
You never know when an accident will happen. As a driver, I will keep safety in mind by obeying all traffic laws and have safe-driving habits, especially in bad weather. Insist your children always wear their seatbelts. Life is a journey and everyone should value it and enjoy the ride.
41. Why was the author angry with those drivers?
A. She thought they drove too slowly. B. They didn’t pay attention to the safety.
C. They made much noise on the ramp. D. They tried to stop her car on the ramp.
42. The car accident happened .
A. at around 6 in the afternoon B. before the author dropped her dad at the airport
C. when the author almost got home D. immediately after the author left the exit to the airport
43. What does the underlined word “shuddered” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? d
A. Remembered clearly. B. Trembled because of fear.
C. Ensured the safety. D. Took control of the bad situation.
44. What is the main reason that resulted in the accident?
A. The visibility was not clear. B. The author drove rather fast.
C. It started to rain heavily then. D. It was an unsafe spot for driving.
45. We can learn from this passage that the author_________.
A. had just a single scratch B. felt sorry because her son was injured
C. called her father for help D. found her mobile phone with the help of a lady
C
Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.
Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper. The Beldon Post:
FIRE AT SEABREEZE
Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors: “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.
The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one:
ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.
What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.
Now what do you think of the rest of the “news”?
46. Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text?
A. Beldon and Canfield are both good places for tourists in summer.
B. A fire broke out at night in Seabreeze Hotel last summer.
C. It was not easy to find out exact truth from newspapers.
D. Two newspapers gave reports on the same matter.
47. Which of the following are probably facts?
a. The fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotel.
b. A cigarette started the fire.
c. An old lamp started the fire.
d. The fire broke out at night.
e. There has never been a fire in Canfield.
A. b and c B. a and d C. c and e D. a and c
48. The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think.
A. hotels in Beldon often catch fire
B. hotels in Beldon don’t often catch fire
C. this was the second fire at the Seabreeze Hotel
D. Beldon was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe
49. The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to the Beldon Post by saying that__________.
A. the bedroom lamps were very old at the Seabreeze Hotel
B. the bedroom lights made funny noise when the fire took place
C. the firemen failed to save clothing, bedclothes and other things
D. such accidents never happened in Canfield for the past 5 years
50. What does the underlined word “We” in the first news refer to?
A. Visitors. B. The government. C. The newspaper. D. The firemen.

“I can’t believe you have driven from Florida to Tennessee for me,” said Kyle, as tears filled his eyes. We talked in a private room in the church while groomsmen (伴郎) paced outside the open door. In a few minutes, the wedding would change Kyle’s life. It was a significant occasion for me, too, because I had been his second-grade teacher and mentor (导师) for the past twenty years.
It started when Kyle was assigned to my second-grade classroom. On the first day of class I approached the thin, sad-looking boy with messy blond hair. “Welcome to my class, Kyle,” I said. He looked at the floor and didn’t respond. When I helped him with his assignments (作业) during the week, I noticed he didn’t know how to properly finish his work and his writing was messy. He attempted some lessons but often had wrong answers.
During a talk with his grandmother who was raising Kyle. she said, “I’m thankful that you are his teacher. He never liked his teacher before, but he adores you. I wonder how he has been a different kettle of fish over the months. At home, Kyle now behaves better. He begins to listen to me and obey my orders. What’s more, it seems that he has fallen in love with his study.” I was glad that I could make a difference to Kyle. Unfortunately, due to some family factors, the grandmother and Kyle moved to Tennessee later.
Years later, a tall teenager visited me. It was the struggling student, Kyle. He said he had traveled to Florida to see his father and me. After that, Kyle began to visit me each summer, and we talked about his life, the importance of making good choices, etc. After graduation from school, without his parents’ support. Kyle managed to start his own business, later bought a truck, and moved into his own beautiful apartment. I was really proud of him.
And now Kyle was getting married. He said, “I’m lucky that you have influenced my life.”

三、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Look at the keyboard of any standard typewriter or computer. “Q”“W”“E”“R”“T” and“Y” are the first six letters. Who decided on this arrangement of the letters? And why?
People tried for centuries to invent the typewriter. In 1714 in England, Henry Mill filed a patent for a machine called An Artificial Machine Or Method for the Impressing or Transcribing of Letters, Singly or Progressively one after another, as in Writing, drawing upon this way all Writing may be absorbed in Paper so Neat and Exact as not to be distinguished from Print. That machine probably didn't sell because no one could remember its name!
The first practical typewriter was patented in the United States in 1868 by Christopher Latham Sholes. His machine was known as the type-writer. It had a movable carriage, a lever for turning paper from line to line, and a keyboard on which the letters were arranged in alphabetical order.
But Sholes had a problem. On his first model, his“ABC” key arrangement caused the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly. Sholes didn't know how to keep the keys from sticking, so his solution was to keep the typist from typing too fast. Sholes asked his brother-in-law to rearrange the keyboard so that the commonest letters were not so close together and the type bars would come from opposite directions. Thus they would not clash together and jam the machine. The new arrangement was the QWERTY arrangement typists use today. Of course. Sholes claimed that the new arrangement was scientific and would add speed and efficiency. The only efficiency it added was to slow the typist down, since almost any word in the English language required the typist's fingers to cover more distance on the keyboard.
The advantages of the typewriter outweighed the disadvantages of the keyboard. Typists memorized the crazy letter arrangement, and the typewriter became a huge success. By the time typists had memorized the new arrangement of letters and built their speed, typewriter technology had improved, and the keys didn't stick as badly as they had at first.
36. We know from the passage that the inventor of the first practical typewriter is ________.
A. Henry Mill. B. Christopher Latham Sholes.
C. Sholes' brother-in-law. D. Albert Einstein.
37. The author thinks the machine invented by Henry Mill could not be sold because ________.
A it was difficult for people to accept new things.
B. there were great disadvantages of the key board.
C. the name of the machine was too long.
D. the machine could not be distinguished from print.
38. Sholes decided the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard in order to ________.
A. solve the problem of the keys jamming.
B. arrange the letters in alphabetical order.
C. cause the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly.
D. compete with “ABC” key arrangement.
39. It is inferred that the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard ________.
A. is the most scientific arrangement.
B. adds speed and efficiency of typists.
C. is easy for typists to memorize.
D. keeps the typist from typing too fast.
40. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. The Story of Christopher Latham Sholes.
B. How to Invent the Typewriter.
C. The First Practical Typewriter.
D. The Arrangement of the letter.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. D 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是标准打字机或电脑键盘上字母排列的由来。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The first practical typewriter was patented in the United States in 1868 by Christopher Latham Sholes.(第一台实用打字机于1868年由Christopher Latham Sholes在美国获得专利。)”可知,第一台实用打字机的发明者是Christopher Latham Sholes,故选B。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“In 1714 in England, Henry Mill filed a patent for a machine called An Artificial Machine Or Method for the Impressing or Transcribing of Letters, Singly or Progressively one after another, as in Writing, drawing upon this way all Writing may be absorbed in Paper so Neat and Exact as not to be distinguished from Print. That machine probably didn’t sell because no one could remember its name!(1714年,Henry Mill英国为一种机器申请了专利,名为“一种人工机器或誊写字母的方法”,可以像书写一样一个接一个地或一个接一个地刻印或誊写字母,利用这种方法,所有的书写都可以被吸收在纸上,如此整洁和精确,以至于与印刷没有区别。那台机器可能卖不出去,因为没人记得它的名字!)”可知,作者认为Henry Mill发明的机器卖不出去是因为机器的名字太长了,故选C。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“On his first model, his“ABC” key arrangement caused the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly. Sholes didn't know how to keep the keys from sticking, so his solution was to keep the typist from typing too fast. Sholes asked his brother-in-law to rearrange the keyboard so that the commonest letters were not so close together and the type bars would come from opposite directions. Thus they would not clash together and jam the machine. The new arrangement was the QWERTY arrangement typists use today. (在他的第一个型号上,当打字员快速工作时,他的“ABC”键排列会导致键卡住。肖尔斯不知道如何防止键盘卡住,所以他的解决方案是让打字员打字速度不要太快。Sholes让他的姐夫重新排列键盘,这样最常见的字母就不会靠得太近,打字条就会从相反的方向排列。这样它们就不会碰撞在一起而堵塞机器。新的排列方式就是打字员今天使用的QWERTY排列方式。)”可知,Sholes决定采用QWERTY键盘的排列方式是为了解决键盘卡住的问题,故选A。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Sholes didn't know how to keep the keys from sticking, so his solution was to keep the typist from typing too fast. (Sholes不知道如何防止键盘卡住,所以他的解决方案是让打字员打字速度不要太快。)”和“The only efficiency it added was to slow the typist down, since almost any word in the English language required the typist's fingers to cover more distance on the keyboard. (它唯一增加的效率是减慢了打字的速度,因为几乎任何英语单词都需要打字者的手指在键盘上覆盖更多的距离。)”可知,QWERTY键盘的排列方式防止打字员打得太快,故选D。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“Look at the keyboard of any standard typewriter or computer. “Q”“W”“E”“R”“T” and“Y” are the first six letters. Who decided on this arrangement of the letters? And why? (看看任何标准打字机或电脑的键盘。“Q”“W”“E”“R”“T”和“Y”是前六个字母。这些字母的排列是谁决定的?为什么?)”可知,本文主要讲的是标准打字机或电脑键盘上字母排列的由来,因此最好的题目是D选项“The Arrangement of the Letters on Keyboard(键盘上字母的排列)”。故选D。
B
When I set out to drop my dad of fat the airport, it was dark and dreary(沉闷的). It started to rain on the way. When I left the airport, the visibility wasn`t clear because of the drops of rain. It was before 6 am.
Even though the road conditions were poor, I drove at my normal speed. I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive. The exit ramp (坡道) to the highway was a tight spiral(急盘旋). It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary when the weather is miserable or it is dark. But I didn`t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast. The road was wet and my car slid, landing face down on the passenger side.
I didn’t like to drive by myself at the time and had debated taking my husband and son with me on the trip. Thankfully, I was alone in the car. My accident was slight. In fact, I was lucky enough not to have a single scratch. I shuddered to think the injuries my son would have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled. After the ear rolled three times, I found my mobile phone was lost in a pile of small things that were all lying in the bottom of the car. A lady was kind enough to let me borrow her mobile phone, but with-out the numbers preprogrammed who could I call? I was lucky enough to remember my father`s mobile phone number, and fortunate that he hadn`t yet got on his plane.
You never know when an accident will happen. As a driver, I will keep safety in mind by obeying all traffic laws and have safe-driving habits, especially in bad weather. Insist your children always wear their seatbelts. Life is a journey and everyone should value it and enjoy the ride.
41. Why was the author angry with those drivers?
A. She thought they drove too slowly. B. They didn’t pay attention to the safety.
C. They made much noise on the ramp. D. They tried to stop her car on the ramp.
42. The car accident happened .
A. at around 6 in the afternoon B. before the author dropped her dad at the airport
C. when the author almost got home D. immediately after the author left the exit to the airport
43. What does the underlined word “shuddered” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? d
A. Remembered clearly. B. Trembled because of fear.
C. Ensured the safety. D. Took control of the bad situation.
44. What is the main reason that resulted in the accident?
A. The visibility was not clear. B. The author drove rather fast.
C. It started to rain heavily then. D. It was an unsafe spot for driving.
45. We can learn from this passage that the author_________.
A. had just a single scratch B. felt sorry because her son was injured
C. called her father for help D. found her mobile phone with the help of a lady
【答案】41. A 42. D 43. B 44. B 45. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己在雨天发生的一次车祸告诉我们:作为驾驶员,一定要遵守交通规则,养成安全驾驶的习惯。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive.(我对前面那些比较谨慎的司机很生气,因为他们耽误了我的行程)”可知,作者生气是因为她认为他们开得太慢,故选A。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When I set out to drop my dad of fat the airport, it was dark and dreary(沉闷的). It started to rain on the way. When I left the airport, the visibility wasn`t clear because of the drops of rain.(当我出发送爸爸去机场的时候,天又黑又闷。路上开始下雨了。当我离开机场时,由于下着雨点,能见度不太好)”以及第二段“The exit ramp (坡道) to the highway was a tight spiral(急盘旋). It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary when the weather is miserable or it is dark. But I didn`t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast. The road was wet and my car slid, landing face down on the passenger side.(通往高速公路的出口匝道是一个紧密的螺旋形。天气好的时候,这是一个危险的地方,天气不好或天黑的时候,这是一个非常可怕的地方。但我不想放慢速度,回家的时间比必要的晚。我把车开下斜坡开得太快了。路很湿,我的车滑了下来,脸朝下摔在了副驾驶一侧)”可知,车祸发生在在作者离开机场出口的时候。故选D。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“to think the injuries my son would have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled”可知,要是当时儿子坐在后座上没系安全带,翻车时他一定会严重受伤,一想到这,作者因为害怕而发抖,推断出shuddered的意思是“因害怕而发抖”,故选B。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But I didn`t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast.(但我不想放慢速度,回家的时间比必要的晚。我把车开下斜坡开得太快了)”可知,作者的车速过快导致了这次事故,故选B。

Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.
Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper. The Beldon Post:
FIRE AT SEABREEZE
Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors: “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.
The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one:
ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.
What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.
Now what do you think of the rest of the “news”?

b. A cigarette started the fire.

e. There has never been a fire in Canfield.
A. b and c B. a and d C. c and e D. a and c
48. The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think.
A. hotels in Beldon often catch fire
B. hotels in Beldon don’t often catch fire
C. this was the second fire at the Seabreeze Hotel
D. Beldon was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe
49. The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to the Beldon Post by saying that__________.
A. the bedroom lamps were very old at the Seabreeze Hotel
B. the bedroom lights made funny noise when the fire took place
C. the firemen failed to save clothing, bedclothes and other things
D. such accidents never happened in Canfield for the past 5 years

【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Canfield Times 报道说“Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel.(昨晚,贝尔登的消防队员赶到得太晚,没能抢救出Seabreeze酒店的衣物、被褥和一些家具)”以及The Beldon Post报道说“Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom.(昨天深夜,消防队员赶到Seabreeze酒店,迅速扑灭了一间卧室的小火)”可知,两则报道相反。故选C。

“I can’t believe you have driven from Florida to Tennessee for me,” said Kyle, as tears filled his eyes. We talked in a private room in the church while groomsmen (伴郎) paced outside the open door. In a few minutes, the wedding would change Kyle’s life. It was a significant occasion for me, too, because I had been his second-grade teacher and mentor (导师) for the past twenty years.
It started when Kyle was assigned to my second-grade classroom. On the first day of class, I approached the thin, sad-looking boy with messy blond hair. “Welcome to my class, Kyle,” I said. He looked at the floor and didn’t respond. When I helped him with his assignments (作业) during the week, I noticed he didn’t know how to properly finish his work and his writing was messy. He attempted some lessons but often had wrong answers.
During a talk with his grandmother, who was raising Kyle. she said, “I’m thankful that you are his teacher. He never liked his teacher before, but he adores you. I wonder how he has been a different kettle of fish over the months. At home, Kyle now behaves better. He begins to listen to me and obey my orders. What’s more, it seems that he has fallen in love with his study.” I was glad that I could make a difference to Kyle. Unfortunately, due to some family factors, the grandmother and Kyle moved to Tennessee later.
Years later, a tall teenager visited me. It was the struggling student, Kyle. He said he had traveled to Florida to see his father and me. After that, Kyle began to visit me each summer, and we talked about his life, the importance of making good choices, etc. After graduation from school, without his parents’ support.

【详解】第1步:根据提示可知,本篇为一封电子邮件;假设你是李津,你的美国朋友Chris就读于天津某国际学校。他熟悉中国文化,特别是戏曲文化。8月5日下午2:00在新落成的天津大剧院将上演越剧《梁山伯与祝英台》。请你根据以下提示,用英语给Chris写一封电子邮件,邀请他一起观看演出。内容包括:提出邀请并简述原因;提出观剧后活动建议(如参观附近的博物馆或美术馆等);请求对方回复。人称使用第一、三人称,时态使用一般现在时、一般将来时。
第2步:根据写作要求,确定关键词(组),如:be on show(上演),was just completed(新落成),at 2:00 p.m. on August 5th(8月5日下午2:00),because(因为),the culture of China(中国文化),the art museum(艺术博物馆),Looking forward to your early reply.(期待您的早日回复)等。
第3步:根据提示及关键词(组)进行遣词造句,注意主谓一致和时态问题。
第4步:连句成文,注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡,书写一定要规范清晰,保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。
【点睛】范文内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。作者在范文中使用了较多高级表达方式,如A Shaoxing Opera (过去分词)named Butterfly Lovers will be on show in Tianjin Grand Theater,(非限定性定语从句)which was just completed, at 2:00 p.m. on August 5th.;(强调句)It is (原因状语从句)because I know you like the culture of China, especially drama, that I would like to invite you to admire it.; As we all know, Butterfly Lovers is a traditional drama,(现在分词)telling about two young person’s moving love story.全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。
