But after the operation, Susan burst into tears for a different reason: across the cut on their newborn sons back was a sweet winter scene, hand-drawn on his bandages（绷带）. “There were rolling hills of snow, a pine tree and a snowman with a hat and broom, she recalled. It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family. It was a moment I'll never forget.” Susan soon learned the artist was her sons surgeon, Robert Parry, who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980 s during his internship（实习期）at children's medical center. where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to decorate children’s bandages. “My first reaction was, 'What is he doing? Hey, that’s kind of neat,’ ” Parry recalled. “I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork. The smiles took everyone's attention from the surgery. Then I decided to follow suit.” Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks, and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients' personalities. From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies, there isn’t much he hasn’t drawn. Most kids want superheroes sports team logos or princesses, while babies often receive scenes with flowers trees and sea creatures During the last 30 years, Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the stitches（伤口缝线） of more than 10, 000 children. “During a time of stress for families, it's nice to be able to help them smile and laugh," Parry said. This is something positive that I can do for them, which is what I like most about it.” For Parry, the reward is knowing he hopefully made a difference in a child’s life, and except for his drawings on bandages, they can go on and live their lives and never know I was in it.” he said. He's not ready to retire, but he's found a new hobby to keep his hands skillful in the years to come. “I've taken up knitting（编织）,” Parry said. “Hats, sweaters, gloves---I enjoy it all. But mostly, I enjoy giving everything away.” 41. Susan burst into tears after her baby's operation because she was__________.

He is looking forward to life after retirement. D He is more interested in knitting than drawing. C The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的）skill. However，while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life. Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand. Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate. In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said. Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换）“those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time. “In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won't have knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.” 46. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past? A. The absence of blackboard in classroom. B. The use of new technologies in teaching. C. The lack of practice in handwriting. D. The popular use of smartphones. 47. Berninger’s study published in 2009 . A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer. B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper. C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences. D. discussed the importance of writing speed. 48. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling? A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words. B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability. C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas. D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas. 49. What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Window. B. Soul C. Picture. D. Imagination. 50. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage? A. Computers can help people with their choice of words. B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching. C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms. D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade. D Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them. In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. Study you role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.” 51. Imitation proves useful when you . A. know you are unique B. lose the balance of life C. begin to learn something new D. get tired of routine practice 52. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should . A. forget daily fear and pain B. choose the right example C. ask others for decisions D. stay away from stars 53. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are . A. desperate to influence others with their knowledge B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality C. eager to discover what their ancestors did D. willing to accept others' ideas 54. The trouble a creator faces is . A. the lack of strong motivation B. the absence of practical ideas C. how to search for more materials D. how to use imagination creatively 55. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. To highlight the importance of creatively. B. To criticize the characters of role models. C. To compare imitation with creation. D. To explain the meaning of success. Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文， 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Last December, Doris Low turned 90. Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into Braille to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers. She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises for more than 40 years. After working in the business world for a while, Low got fed up. So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library. Low’s mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, low read to her. Then “hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille, I decided to give it a try.” In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library. The job was strenuous — she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again. For a number of years, low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape. Three years ago, she took up proofreading at the CNIB’s word factory. In April, during Volunteer Week, the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions. Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print. “I can’t imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris’s contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years — and she is still doing so,” said a CNIB official. “For me,” said Low, “the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer. Three thins matter most in my life: a little play, a little work, a little love. I’ve found them all here.” 56. What does Low still do at the age of 90 at the CNIB? ( no more than 10 words) 57. Why did Low learn Braille? ( no more than 15 words) 58. what does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mean?(1 word) 59. What are Low’s contributions to the CNIB?

But after the operation, Susan burst into tears for a different reason: across the cut on their newborn sons back was a sweet winter scene, hand-drawn on his bandages（绷带）. “There were rolling hills of snow, a pine tree and a snowman with a hat and broom, she recalled. It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family. It was a moment I'll never forget.” Susan soon learned the artist was her sons surgeon, Robert Parry, who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980 s during his internship（实习期）at children's medical center. where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to decorate children’s bandages. “My first reaction was, 'What is he doing? Hey, that’s kind of neat,’ ” Parry recalled. “I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork. The smiles took everyone's attention from the surgery. Then I decided to follow suit.” Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks, and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients' personalities. From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies, there isn’t much he hasn’t drawn. Most kids want superheroes sports team logos or princesses, while babies often receive scenes with flowers trees and sea creatures During the last 30 years, Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the stitches（伤口缝线） of more than 10, 000 children. “During a time of stress for families, it's nice to be able to help them smile and laugh," Parry said.

With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的）skill. However，while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life. Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand. Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate. In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said. Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换）“those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time. “In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won't have knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.” 46. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past? A. The absence of blackboard in classroom. B. The use of new technologies in teaching. C. The lack of practice in handwriting. D. The popular use of smartphones. 47. Berninger’s study published in 2009 . A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer. B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper. C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences. D. discussed the importance of writing speed. 48. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling? A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words. B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability. C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas. D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas. 49. What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Window. B. Soul C. Picture. D. Imagination. 50. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage? A. Computers can help people with their choice of words. B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching. C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms. D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. B 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。随着现代科技的发展，书写渐渐被人们所忽视。但是Berninger的研究表明，书写在现代教学中应该占有一席之地。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill.（随着像电脑和智能手机的使用，书写已经成为了人们怀旧的东西）。所以教学中使用新技术使得手写成为过去。故选B项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand.（Berninger和她的同事做了个研究，想看看学生用电脑和用手工完成各种写的任务的情况）可知，伯宁格在2009年发表的研究集中在手写和电脑书写的区别上。故选A项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段首句“In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write.（在更近的一次研究中，Berninge想看看拼写在学生写作技巧中所发挥的什么作用，结果发现字写得好的孩子文章也写得好）。所以拼写能力与写作能力密切相关能说明拼写的作用。故选B项。 【49题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段“Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换）“those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said.”可知，拼写帮助学生把想法转化为他们思想中的文字，再把思想中的文字转换到纸上。所以看到想象中的文字，不仅能帮助孩子们把想法变成文字，而且能发现拼写错误并改正它们。故判断出换线的词语为“想象”。故选D项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。通断全文可知，首段说明随着新技术的到来，手写已经成为过去，之后文章中部提到手写的好处。根据最后一段进一步阐明书写的重要根据最后一段“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won't have knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”在我们的计算机时代，有些人认为我们不必教拼写，因为我们有拼写检查，”她说。“但是直到孩子的功能拼写能力达到五年级的水平，他们才知道如何在计算机提供的选项中选择正确的拼写。由此判断出“书写在现代教学中应该占有一席之地”。故选C项。 D Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them. In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. Study you role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.” 51. Imitation proves useful when you . A. know you are unique B. lose the balance of life C. begin to learn something new D. get tired of routine practice 52. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should . A. forget daily fear and pain B. choose the right example C. ask others for decisions D. stay away from stars 53. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are . A. desperate to influence others with their knowledge B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality C. eager to discover what their ancestors did D. willing to accept others' ideas 54. The trouble a creator faces is . A. the lack of strong motivation B. the absence of practical ideas C. how to search for more materials D. how to use imagination creatively 55. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. To highlight the importance of creatively. B. To criticize the characters of role models. C. To compare imitation with creation. D. To explain the meaning of success. 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. B 54. D 55. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了要创新，不要盲目模仿。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful.(在技能或性格发展的早期阶段，模仿是有帮助的)”以及所举的例子可知，当你开始学习新东西时，模仿被证明是有用的。故选C。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.(作为一个孩子，如果你观察那些生活很糟糕的人，你可能会接受他们的恐惧和痛苦，并继续追随他们的所作所为。如果你不为自己做出强有力的选择，你将会得到别人软弱选择的结果。在娱乐领域，我们的文化美化名人。那些明星在银幕上看起来很棒。但当他们走出屏幕，他们的个人生活可能是灾难性的。如果你要追随某人，关注他们的才能，而不是他们的坏性格或不可接受的行为)”可知，人们选择不好的榜样时，就会使模仿的结果变坏。由此推知，为了避免模仿的不良后果，我们应该选择正确的榜样。故选B。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration not desperation. (有福的人是愿意按照他们突然的渴望去创造一些独特的东西。想想那些对你影响最深的电影、书籍、老师和朋友。他们之所以能够打动你是因为他们的创作是基于灵感而不是绝望)”可知，根据作者的观点，世界因为那些准备把他们的原始想法变成现实的人而前进。故选B。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.(有创造力的人有无穷无尽的想法。创作者面临的问题不是没有素材；它是关于如何处理敲着想象之门的材料)”可知，创造者面临的问题是如何创造性地运用想象力。故选D。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.(盲目模仿是自我毁灭。对于那些认不出自己独特价值的人来说，模仿显得很有吸引力；对于那些知道自己实力的人来说，模仿是不可接受的)”及下文论述可知，文章的主要目的是强调要创新，不要盲目模仿。故选A。 Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文， 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Last December, Doris Low turned 90. Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into Braille to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers. She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises for more than 40 years. After working in the business world for a while, Low got fed up. So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library. Low’s mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, low read to her. Then “hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille, I decided to give it a try.” In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library. The job was strenuous — she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again. For a number of years, low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape. Three years ago, she took up proofreading at the CNIB’s word factory. In April, during Volunteer Week, the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions. Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print. “I can’t imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris’s contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years — and she is still doing so,” said a CNIB official. “For me,” said Low, “the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer. Three thins matter most in my life: a little play, a little work, a little love. I’ve found them all here.” 56. What does Low still do at the age of 90 at the CNIB? ( no more than 10 words) 57. Why did Low learn Braille? ( no more than 15 words) 58. what does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mean?(1 word) 59. What are Low’s contributions to the CNIB? ( no more than 10 words) 60. What do you think of Low? Give your reasons. ( no more than 20 words) 【答案】56. She helps transform literature into Braille (for blind readers/ the blind). 57. (Because) her mother’s eyes began to fail and she heard an/ the advertisement. 58 Difficult/Hard/tiring/tough. 59. She has brailled and proofread hundreds of books, and read books into onto tape. 60. Low is kind and helpful because she has devoted much time to transcribing books into Braille as a volunteer. /Low is kind-hearted lady with a positive attitude toward life because she takes delight in helping others. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。Doris Low 到去年12月份就90岁了。但是她从事志愿者活动已经有40年了。她的工作是把故事和知识传播给盲人读者通过吧文学作品翻译成布莱叶盲文。有时还要读录成磁带。三年前她又从事校对工作。这个工作很辛苦，但是她喜欢。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into Braille to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers.(她仍然每周开车去多伦多的加拿大国家盲人研究所（CNIB），在那里她帮助把文学转化为盲文，把故事和知识的力量带给盲人读者的听觉和心灵)”可知，Low现在90岁仍然在CNIB从事帮助把文学作品翻译成布莱叶盲文的工作。故答案为She helps transform literature into Braille (for blind readers/ the blind). 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Low’s mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, Low read to her. Then “hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille, I decided to give it a try.” In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.(Low的妈妈喜欢阅读。当她的眼睛开始衰弱时，Low读给她听。后来，“听到一则鼓励人们学习盲文的广告，我决定试一试。” 1973年，她被认证为盲文抄写员，并开始作为志愿者为CNIB图书馆抄写书籍)”可知，因为她的妈妈喜欢阅读，但是她的视力变差了，而她也听到了一则鼓励人们学习布莱叶盲文的广告。故答案为(Because) her mother’s eyes began to fail and she heard an/ the advertisement. 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据画线词后文“she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again”可知，她可能翻到一页的末尾，最后一行写错了，就得从头再写一遍，可见这份工作很辛苦，故画线词意思是“辛苦、困难”，故答案为Difficult/Hard/tiring/tough. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段“Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print. “ I can’t imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris’s contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years — and she is still doing so,” said a CNIB official.(多亏了像Low这样的志愿者，CNIB图书馆为无法阅读传统印刷品的人提供了8万多份资料。 CNIB的一位官员说：“我无法想象有多少读者从多丽丝作为一名熟练的志愿者的贡献中受益，她丰富的嗓音和她多年来对数百本书进行盲文和校对的高度准确性，而且她现在仍在这样做。”)”可知，Low对CNIB的贡献：把很多书翻译成了布莱叶盲文、校对了数百本书籍还读书录成磁带。故答案为She has brailled and proofread hundreds of books, and read books into onto tape. 【60题详解】 开放性题目。题干：你觉得Low怎么样？说明你的原因。可回答：Low很善良，也很乐于助人，因为作为一名志愿者，她花了很多时间把书转录成盲文。/Low是一位有积极生活态度的善良的女士，因为她喜欢帮助别人。故答案为Low is kind and helpful because she has devoted much time to transcribing books into Braille as a volunteer. /Low is kind-hearted lady with a positive attitude toward life because she takes delight in helping others. 书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津。下周你校将开展主题为“My favourite traditional Chinese festival”的英语演讲比赛，请你根据以下提示撰写一篇演讲稿： （1）你最喜欢的一个中国传统节日； （2）介绍该节日的特色； （3）阐述你喜欢该节日的原因（如：意义、感受等）。 注意： （1）词数不少于100; （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Hello, everyone!
