【英语】2020届二轮复习书面表达之读后续写2学案
第二讲 读后续写 考点 考查项目 2019.6 2018.11 2018.6 2017.11 2017.6 读后续写 语篇类型 轮空 轮空 故事类记叙文 主题语境 人与社会 主题内容 和爸爸去朋友家农场游玩迷路的故事 和父母一起去旅行的故事 和朋友一起骑行，在野外遇到狼的故事 标 示 词 名词 7 7 7 动词 2 0 3 形容词/副词 1 3 0 其他 0 0 0 考查方式 提供一段350词以内的语言材料，要求考生依据该材料内容、所给段落开头语和所标示关键词语进行续写(150词左右)，使之构成一篇与给定材料有逻辑衔接、情节和结构完整的短文 一、命题特点 读后续写是一种将阅读与写作紧密结合的考查形式，旨在考查考生的综合语言运用能力。读后续写——给出前文，写后文。理论上来说，前文用于阅读输入信息，信息经过大脑思维转换后，形成对前文的理解，理解一定是建立在确定主旨大意，明确前文作者态度和关键信息的前提下，在大脑思维中建立一个对前文的理解框架和概括，在此基础上，继续建立顺序思维，确定接下来在理解前文的基础上如何安排下面继续可能或者应该出现的内容，续写部分内容不仅要求词汇和语言框架的准确使用、 语言的润色等，更重要的是，你要明白你应该如何整理续写内容，以使得其和前文形成统一连贯的、能够表述完整信息的表达内容。续写是读和写的统一，之间穿插了对阅读能力、概括能力、思维转化能力、语言领悟能力、语言组织能力、创造性思维能力，以及对上下文逻辑关系的掌握等的考查。 续写对于前文文本的选择应该是脉络清晰，能够为不同层次考生根据不同能力确认主旨信息的文本。前文的选择一定既要信息完整，可以提炼观点，又要为下面的续写留有余地，考验命题者的选文判断能力。 高质量地完成读后续写最重要的是要通过大量阅读信息的输入，形成一定的阅读思维能力。沉淀思维，归纳信息，梳理脉络，转换思维，那么阅读的思维能力注定会迅速提升，对续写的前文的理解是这一题型的最关键部分， 否则后面的续写就不会有任何形成思维的信息输入，也就谈不上输出了！多读，多思维，多沉淀，多拓展，这是应对读后续写的重要环节！ 二、题型特点 读后续写的阅读材料一般以350词以内的记叙文和夹叙夹议文为主，偶有少量议论文。考生要在此文的后面接着续写约150词左右的文字与前文构成一个完整的故事。一般来说，记叙文浅显易懂，但故事情节多曲折动人，故事线索的逻辑性也较强。要求考生续写的部分多是故事发展的高潮或结局。情节曲折跌宕，线索性和逻辑性较强。考生要抓住故事的叙事线索，依据原文的写作思路续写文章，并适当发散。写作要求考生在读懂原文的基础上，在规定时间内展开合理的想象，并运用所学的英语知识完成一篇约150词左右的续写。原文给出10处左右的标有下划线的关键词语，所续写短文应使用5个以上。续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已经给出。 考生所续写的部分要有创新性，不是原文的抄写或胡编乱造，同时，还要带有原文色彩(必须使用原文5处以上的关键词语)。 续写一般分为两类：半开放性续写和完全开放性续写。半开放性续写要求考生务必根据文章的逻辑推理续写。完全开放性续写则要求考生依据文章的思路自由发挥。续写时要尽可能与原材料的中心思想和语言风格上保持一致。 读后续写不是随心所欲地写，而是要在所给段落开头和所标出关键词的帮助下完成续写部分(150词左右)。其中，段落开头语与传统写作中的开头语类似，在某种程度上引导你的思路向某个方面发展，所续写部分不能脱离各自的段落开头语另起炉灶，要在其基础上进行拓展发挥。 读后续写要求读写并重，需要考生对给定材料精确理解，这样所续写部分才不至于偏离主题，就这方面而言，读后续写有点类似阅读理解题中对文章后续发展的推断，如：What would happen next? 续写部分的思路和内容并不一定是唯一的，考生可根据自己对上文材料的理解，对文章的结尾做出不同的诠释。 三、 评分原则 1．本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。 2．评分时，先根据所续写短文的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量、确定或调整档次，最后给分。 3．词数少于130的，从总分中减去2分。 4．拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个重要方面，评分时，应视其对文章的影响程度予以考虑。 5．如书写较差以致影响文章，可将分数降低一个档次。 6．评分时，应主要从以下四个方面考虑： (1)与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度； (2)内容的丰富性和对所标出关键词语的应用情况； (3)应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性； (4)上下文的连贯性。 各档次的给分范围和要求 档次 描述 第五档 (21－25) ——与所给短文融洽度高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接合理。 ——内容丰富，应用了5个以上短文中标出的关键词语。 ——所使用语法结构和词汇丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但完全不影响意义表达。 ——有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。 第四档 (16－20) ——与所给短文融洽度较高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接较为合理。 ——内容比较丰富，应用了5个以上短文中标出的关键词语。 ——所使用语法结构和词汇较为丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但不影响意义表达。 ——比较有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。 第三档 (11－15) ——与所给短文关系较为密切，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接。 ——写出了若干有关内容，应用了4个以上短文中标出的关键词语。 ——应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求，虽有一些错误，但不影响意义表达。 ——应用简单的语句间连接成分，使全文内容连贯。 续 表 档次 描述 第二档 (6－10) ——与所给短文有一定的关系，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接。 ——写出了一些有关内容，应用了3个以上短文中标出的关键词语。 ——语法结构单调，词汇项目有限，有一些语法结构和词汇方面的错误，影响了意义的表达。 ——较少使用语句间的连接成分，全文内容缺少连贯性。 第一档 (1－5) ——与所提供短文和开头语的衔接较差。 ——写出内容太少，很少使用短文中标出的关键词语。 ——语法结构单调，词汇项目很有限，有较多语法结构和词汇方面的错误，严重影响了意义的表达。 ——缺乏语句间的连接成分，全文内容不连贯。 0 白卷、内容太少无法评判或所写内容与所提供内容无关。 一、思维流程 1．品读原文，确定文章线索 每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索，如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等，这样有利于考生“顺藤摸瓜(结尾)”。 2．仔细审题，明确续写要求 一般短文后面的“注意”都有对此短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制、使用几处标有下划线的关键词语、续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到“心中有数”。 3．回读原文，揣摩续写思路 根据文章后面的要求，再次快速回读短文，抓住文章的思路，结合段首的提示语，最终确定续写段落的内容。 4．拟写草稿，修改错词病句 在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或文中画线的关键词语拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性、语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。 5．关键词语的使用，誊写文字 标出续写部分中使用到的原材料中标有下划线的关键词语，这一点可以帮助考生自己检查关键词语的使用并根据情况做出修改。最后在誊写文字时，务必做到字迹工整、清晰。 二、续写方法 1．精读所给语言材料，理清文章脉络并明确作者的论点，确定文章主旨。 2．寻求前文与续写段段首句之间的内在联系，站在作者的角度，设计并发展情节，想象要合理，情节要连贯。 3．后续情节一般为故事的高潮或延续，是原作者声音的延续、态度的延伸，因此，要尽量符合原文思路，并求得与读者的心理共鸣，让读者回味无穷。 4．续写时心态要端正，所续写内容要积极、健康向上，把事物美好的一面展示出来。 5．利用自己已有的知识和经验，在继承原作者风格和语言基础之上，准确、地道地表达，充分展示语言的表现力。提高关联词与过渡语的使用率，增强整句表现力。 6．如果所给短文为议论文，那么议论文中的段落首句多为主题句，观点鲜明。续写时，要围绕段落分论点确定论证方法，如正反对比、例证等。 三、备考建议 面对读后续写这一新写作题型，在了解了其特点和写作技巧之后，考生只要加以适度练习，便可以对此新题型做到得心应手。 1．充分利用记叙文故事类的阅读理解或者完形填空。考生在做此类文章的试题时，读到适当的位置，可以短暂停止，根据已读部分文章的脉络，对文章进行发散思维，设想可能的几种结尾，最后对照原文的结尾，看自己的设想是否与原文一致。 2．经常实施微型化训练，也就是对所读文章的某一段落进行设想。根据某一段落的首句提示，结合文章的上文对该段进行合理设想，具体推断该段可能要讲述的内容。 3．与传统写作类似，续写文章更加要注意句与句之间的连接词，甚至是冠词的暗示作用。 4．进行适度专题化练习。俗话说，熟能生巧。对于读后续写这一新题型也是如此。通过适度地练习，可以进一步熟知该种题型的特色，更好地掌握该种题型的写作技巧，更有效地调动传统写作的基础知识，从而写出一篇优美的续写短文。 (一) (2018·浙江卷6月)阅读下面短文， 根据所给情节进行续写， 使之构成一个完整的故事。 It was summer，and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before.He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque，a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon.Uncle__Paul,__my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos. His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm__house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm，” he said.After breakfast，I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool. In the afternoon，I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride，and he said yes，as long as my dad went with me.I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So，my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats，got on our horses，and headed slowly towards the mountains.“Don’t be late for supper，” Uncle Paul cried，“and keep to the track so that you don’t get__lost！”“OK！”my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight．It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1： Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse._____________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： We had no idea where we were and it got dark._______________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Paragraph 1： Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Afraid that I might hurt the lovely small creature, I automatically let out a cry to stop my horse. However, it became scared and started to run like crazy. All this coming, without warning, I was seized by fear. “Don’t let go the rope! Keep calm！” yelled Dad. I followed what he told me to. To my relief, it stopped slowly. But before we jumped off the horses, we found that we had been off the beaten track and got__lost. Paragraph 2： We had no idea where we were and it got dark. Exhausted and hungry, I wondered if we could find our way back. I kept shouting for help, hoping my shouts could be heard by someone, but there was no reply. Dad sounded a little worried as he reminded me to calm down. It was then that my mind raced. “Listen, Dad, the rushing river water，” I shouted excitedly, “we can return to the farm__house down the river．” Before long, we caught sight of the lights in the distance. We knew we were safe. What a thrilling vacation, like never before, we had! (二) (2017·浙江卷11月)阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 A Vacation with My Mother I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprises and amusements, all because of my mother—loving, sweet, yet absentminded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her. My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our trip approached, David,__my eightyearold brother, and I unwillingly said goodbye to all of our friends. Who knew if we’d ever see them again? Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, camping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we’d returned home to get the purse and traveler’s checks Mom had forgotten. David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept: “You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨) while I go, and I’ll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.” I had terrible pictures in my mind：“Honey, where are the kids？”“What？！ Oh, Gosh...I thought they were being awfully quiet.” We were never actually left behind in a strange city, but we weren’t about to take any chances. On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea: Why didn’t we find a house with a likelylooking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there? David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections(反对). If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is. We finally found a vacancy in the next town. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1： The next day we remembered the brandnew tent we brought with us.__________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： We drove through several states and saw lots of sights along the way.________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Paragraph 1： The next day we remembered the brandnew tent we brought with us. We were happy to see it still packed, and hoped it would be packed forever. However, things came to its turning point. Mom lost Dad in the gas station when we were sleeping. What’s worse, as the dark approached, we met the same trouble again. Fearful as Mom was, she decided to camp near the road waiting for Dad. The wind cried widely like a monster. Tears took control of us. Mom embraced us tightly singing a smooth song, which really relaxed us. We didn’t met Dad in the last few days, but we felt comfortable staying with Mom. Paragraph 2： We drove through several states and saw lots of sights along the way. The tent became a closer friend then. Every time we camped, Mom would read a book or sing a soft song. The warmth of her arms never faded away in my memory. Though she was forgetful，laughter accompanied us along the way. We finally met poor Dad in our destination. This trip made me realize that love may have many ways, but it can always warm people in the dark.

As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty. He would have been a stray(流浪) dog, until he came to me. I was seven years old. My dad had just got a new job in Nasik. We had moved into a rented house. It was raining very heavily on the day we moved. It was a cold dark night. We had our meal and went to sleep. Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door. I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amused with what I saw outside. There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door. It was wet and trembling. At first it was difficult to see the little one. It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence. It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat. Was it sick or injured? I felt pity for the poor soul. I went in and came out with an old towel. I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he had become dry. I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow. He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately. The next morning, everyone in the family came to know about the unusual guest. “Shall we keep him with us？” I questioned my mom. Like any other parents would, my parents first totally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty. Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family members. Para.1： One day, Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg._____________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2： Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.______________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Para.1： One day, Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg. Days passed on and one evening when Spotty returned from his long walk, he appeared very exhausted. He came to my room and sat near me. It was then that I saw his hind leg was injured and was bleeding. I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat. I was very upset. But the next day, Spotty was up to his usual pranks though he limped a bit. After this incident my relation with Spotty became more intense. I really admired him a lot for his courage. Para. 2： Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly. We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere. After some time Spotty became quiet. I patted him on his back and came inside. The next day morning, my heart skipped a beat when I didn’t see Spotty. I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere. And this time he had gone and would never come back. I cried and waited for him. We waited for one long week. But there were no signs of him. Then one day my dad got transferred to Mumbai. We shifted back to Mumbai. What would have happened to Spotty? Would he have died? These were the only questions in my mind, but they all remained unanswered forever.

The month of January was spent planning our perfect June wedding.My mother，two sisters and I went to town to buy the gown that would play the leading role on my special occasion.We went from one shop to another，still no sign of the dress of my dreams.We were about to give up when we entered one more shop. I had a good feeling as we entered the quiet little shop filled with the scent of fresh flowers.The shop owner announced she had one dress in the back that was expensive and not even my size，but perhaps I might want to look at it anyway.When she brought it out，I screamed in delight—This was it! Even though it was too large and more costly than I had expected，I talked Mom into buying it.My excitement assured me I would be able to get it resized in my hometown. A friend gave me the number of a lady who worked at home changing clothes.When I arrived at her house，she carefully inspected my dress and asked me to try it on.Then she told me to pick it up in two days. When the time came to pick it up，I was excited but a little nervous.What would have become of my wedding gown? Thank goodness.The dress still looked exactly the same，but it now fitted as if it had been made especially for me. But on Valentine’s Day，my fiancé called and said he was to call off the wedding.He said he wanted to travel and experience life for a few years before settling down.He apologized for it and then quickly left town.My world turned upside down.I was heart－broken and had no idea how to recover.Day by day I survived.

Paragraph 2： I did have my summer wedding after all，only a year later.And I did get to wear the dress of my dreams—standing beside Tim，who was just the son of the lady that altered it.Perhaps without that special gown，I would never meet with Tim，let alone getting married to him.

As he was tightening up the tire，the old lady rolled down the window and told him that she couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid.Then the lady asked how much she owed him.Any amount would have been all right with her.He replied，“If you really want to pay me back，here is what you do：Do not let this chain of love end with you.”He waited until she started her car and drove off. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café.She went in to grab a bite to eat，and take the chill off.It was a dulllooking restaurant.Outside were two old gas pumps.The waitress came over with a sweet smile on her face.The old lady noticed the waitress was nearly eightmonth pregnant，but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude.The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger.Then she remembered Bryan. After the lady finished her meal，she paid with a D|S100 bill.The waitress quickly went to get change for her，but the old lady was gone by the time she came back.The waitress wondered where the lady could be.Then she noticed something written on the napkin(餐巾纸)． Paragraph 1： There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote.____________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： There were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve，________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Paragraph 1： There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote.“You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too.Somebody once helped me out，the way I’m helping you.If you really want to pay me back，here is what you do：Do not let this chain of love end with you.”Under the napkin were four more D|S100 bills. Paragraph 2： There were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day.That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed，she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written.How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month，it was going to be hard. She knew how worried her husband was，and as he lay sleeping next to her，she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low，“Everything’s going to be all right. I love you，Bryan Anderson.” 读后续写(一) (建议用时：每篇25分钟) A 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 He met her at a party.She was so outstanding, with many boys around her, while he was so ordinary, with nobody paying attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him.She was surprised, but out of politeness, she agreed. They sat in a nice coffee shop.He was too nervous to say anything, and she felt uncomfortable, thinking, “Please let me go home.” Suddenly he asked the waiter, “Would you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee.” Everybody stared at him.So strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby？” He replied, “When I was a little boy, I was living near the sea.I liked playing in the sea, and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood. I miss so much my hometown and my parents who are still living there.” While saying that he couldn’t hold back his tears.She was deeply touched.That’s his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart.A man who can speak out his homesickness must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has responsibility for his family. Then she also started to speak about her faraway hometown, her childhood, and her family.That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who met all her demands: he was kindhearted, warm and careful.He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee！Then the story went on just like every beautiful love story: the princess married the prince, and then they were living in happiness...And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee.

It said, “My dearest, please forgive my only lie I told you—the salty coffee.Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous that I said salt.Actually I wanted some sugar.” He said many times he wanted to tell her the truth, but he was afraid of losing her.He also told her having her with him was his biggest happiness in his life.If he could live for a second time, he still wanted to marry her. Paragraph 2： Learning the truth while reading the letter, she wept, with tears down her face, making the paper totally wet.Never had she doubted it.Thinking that every time he drank the strange taste of coffee, her heart ached a lot.Her husband was such a kindhearted and considerate man that he hid the truth for his whole life.How deeply he loved her! Someday, someone asked her, “What’s the taste of salty coffee？” “It’s sweet，” she replied.

You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog？” “Yes, yes, and yes.” “I don’t believe you.” “We will.We promise.” They didn’t. They wanted to walk the cute dog that first day.From day two, neither of them thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life, she calculated，“The medium one is the most reliable.” Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld(心灵相通)．She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, send her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand—which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she would extend across my stomach as I watched television, and snored on my homeoffice couch as I worked on my design. Even so, part of me continued to reject walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised.“Not fair，” I said to myself as she and I walked.“Not fair，” I’d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home. In September, 2008, the Great Depression hit Arizona.With that, my husband and I were both laid off overnight.During the following six months, Joe and I hurriedly rushed here and there to seek a new job, doing anything and everything we could to request employment.Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.However, Misty still needed walking. Paragraph 1： Upset as I was, I had to walk Misty while seeking a job.__________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Months going by, my life changed a little and I came to enjoy my walks with Misty.____ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Paragraph 1： Upset as I was, I had to walk Misty while seeking a job. I felt it a heavy duty to apply my energy to the routine walk.Every time I walked Misty, I felt exhausted and fed up.One day, Misty stopped in front of me, unwilling to move forward despite my dragging the rope.Dramatically, all my anxiety, exhaustion and displeasure erupted like a volcano.I knelt down, burying my head in my hands, tears rolling down my face.Then, Misty approached me and laid her head on my knees to comfort me. I was a little embarrassed but grateful for Misty’s understanding.Then I stood up, with my steps firm and powerful. Paragraph 2： Months going by, my life changed a little and I came to enjoy my walks with Misty. It felt more like relaxation than duty. Misty shared my negative feelings and kept walking peacefully, which comforted me a lot. Thanks to Misty’s silent companion, I regained the enthusiasm to life and finally went through the hard times. With my unremitting efforts, I eventually got a new job, and so did Joe. Everything seemed to be just fine and my family went back to routine. But something did change—I had an earnest and faithful friend.

Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different. “Quick！Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled. Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying. Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke. They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit. Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas(睡衣裤)—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind. “She would have run for safety like everyone else！” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go！” Paragraph 1： Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.___________________________ ____________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. ______________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Paragraph 1： Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Frozen with fear, he stood rooted to the spot. He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane’s hand tightly. By then, both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging. Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying. Paragraph 2： Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane’s mind. She told them Ms. Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough, Makcik was lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom’s joy was immense. 读后续写(二) (建议用时：每篇25分钟) A 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 When I was ten years old, I lived with my family in a small house in rural South Jersey. I often accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries. Without a car, we walked, and I would help her carry the bags. My mother had to shop very carefully, as she was a waitress, and her salary barely sustained(勉强维持) us. One day, while she was weighing prices, a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia(百科全书) caught my eyes. The volumes were beautifully creamcolored. Volume Ⅰ was ninetynine cents with a tendollar purchase. All I could think of while shopping was the book. I stood at the register(收银台) with my mother, holding my breath as the cashier rang up the items. It came to over eleven dollars. My mother produced a five, some singles, and a handful of change. As she was counting out the money, I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia. “Could we get one？” I said, showing her the display. “It’s only ninetynine cents.” I did not understand my mother’s increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount, “Not now, Patricia，” she said sternly. “Today is not a good day.” I packed the groceries and followed her home, upset. The next Saturday, my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone. Two quarts of milk and a loaf of bread — that’s what a dollar in 1957. I went straight to the World Book display. There was only one first volume left, which I placed in my cart(购物车). I didn’t need a cart, but took one so I could read as I went up and down the aisles. A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave, but I couldn’t bear to part with the book. With no detective in sight, I, impulsively(冲动地), put it inside my shirt and zipped up my jacket. I was a tall, skinny kid, and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious. Paragraph 1： My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective._____________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Paragraph 1： My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register. I paid the dollar for the three items and was about to leave when I felt a heavy tap on my shoulder. It was a big detective. “You stole something. You will be searched，” he announced. Horrified, I slid the book out from inside the shirt and handed it over. “An encyclopedia？” he asked, somewhat surprised. “Yes，” I whispered, trembling. “Why didn’t you ask your parents to purchase it？” “I did, but they didn’t have the money.” With a sigh, he made me promise to tell my parents about my wrongdoing and then let me leave. Paragraph 2： Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective. Unexpectedly, she didn’t explode as usual. She fell silent, looking extremely anxious. Consumed with guilt, I gathered my courage, apologized and promised that it would never ever happen again. “All will be OK！” said my mother, wrapping me in her arms. Then she told me that she would go to the A&P to tell the detective I had admitted and that I should play outside. Hours later, when I was back home, I noticed a bag with my name on it. I opened it and packed inside was the World Book Encyclopedia, Volume Ⅰ.

Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were wellbehaved, all of them standing in line, twobytwo behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as they could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight in shining armor.” He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say “You got that right.” The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded “please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.” The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, lowered her head and her lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say？” The ticket lady again told him the price. The man obviously didn’t have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus? Actually we were not wealthy in any sense, so I understood how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them. Paragraph 1： Seeing what was going on, my dad seemed to have an idea.________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： That day my dad and I went back to our car.____________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Paragraph 1： Seeing what was going on, my dad seemed to have an idea. He put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.” The man turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on.He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill, and with his lips shaking and a tear running down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.” Paragraph 2： That day my dad and I went back to our car. We didn’t go to the circus that night.When I asked dad why he did so, Dad said, “My child, it was a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn’t begging for a handout, but he reminded me of my father, when I was young.” He paused for a while, as if wandering in his memory. “We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others. We didn’t go to the circus tonight, but we didn’t go without. Now, who wants an ice cream？” C 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 Bobby was getting cold sitting out in his backyard in the snow.Bobby didn’t wear boots; or rather, he didn’t own any.The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them and they did a poor job of keeping out the cold. Bobby had been in his backyard for about an hour already.Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift.He shook his head as he thought, “This is useless.Even if I do come up with an idea, I don’t have any money for a gift.” Wiping tears from his eyes, Bobby started walking down to the street where the shops were.It wasn’t easy being six without a father, particularly when he needed a man to talk to. Bobby walked from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window.Everything seemed so beautiful but so out of reach.It was starting to get dark and Bobby reluctantly turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the glimmer(微光) of the setting sun’s rays reflecting on something on the roadside.He reached down and discovered a shiny dime(一角硬币)． Never before had anyone felt as wealthy as Bobby did at that moment.As he held his newlyfound treasure, warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store.His excitement quickly turned cold when the salesperson told him that he could not buy anything with only a dime. He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line.When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother’s Christmas gift.The shop owner looked at Bobby and his one dime offering.Then he put his hand on Bobby’s shoulder, saying，“You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.” As Bobby waited, he looked at the beautiful flowers and even though he was a boy, he could see why mothers and girls loved flowers.

Paragraph 2： With the bunch of roses in his hands, Bobby walked out of the door and then broke into a run.Within minutes, he was at home, still breathless.“Look, Mum, what have I bought for you？” Bobby called out in the backyard.His mother could hardly believe her eyes upon seeing the beautiful flowers in front of her.“Merry Christmas！” Bobby said and began to tell her everything he had experienced in the flower shop.Mother took her son in her arms, tears of happiness streaming down her cheeks.Standing in the bitter cold air, they somehow didn’t feel cold at all. 读后续写(三) (建议用时：每篇25分钟) A 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighbouring farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious disagreement in forty years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labour and goods as needed without a hitch. Then the long cooperation fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and then grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence. One morning, there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I’m looking for a few days’ work，” he said. “Perhaps you have a few jobs here and there. Could I help you？” “Yes，” said John. “I do have a job for you. Look across the small creek at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer(推土机) there and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to annoy me but I’ll do better. See that pile of wood by the barn(谷仓)? I want you to build a fence — an 8foothigh fence —so I won’t need to see his place anymore.” The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and holedigger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.” John had to go to the town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get everything ready and then he left. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing and nailing. At sunset when John returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. John’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. Paragraph 1： There was no fence at all. It was a bridge! ______________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： They turned to see the carpenter lift the toolbox onto his shoulder.___________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Paragraph 1： There was no fence at all. It was a bridge! A bridge stretched from one side of the creek to the other! John was about to complain about everything, when he found the neighbor, his young brother, was coming across the bridge, his hands outstretched. “You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I have said and done，” said John’s brother. The two brothers met in the middle, taking each other’s hand and hugging each other. Paragraph 2： They turned to see the carpenter lift the toolbox onto his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few more days. We have more jobs for you，” said John. “I’d love to stay on，” the carpenter said, “but I have many more bridges to build.” Observing the carpenter leaving, the two brothers waved grateful goodbye to him. What a thoughtprovoking story! Every day we have the choice of building a fence or a bridge. One leads to separation and anger while the other leads to openness and friendship.

The bell，which produced a uniquely pleasant sound，had been in Robin’s family for over a hundred years. He valued it dearly and enjoyed sharing its song with all who came to his shop. Although the bell hung on the inside of the main door，Robin had tied a wire to the screen door so that it would ring whether the inner door was open or not. Hearing the bell，he left the backroom to greet his customer. “And how can I help you，little lady？”Robin’s voice was joyful. “Hello，sir.”The little girl spoke almost in a whisper. She looked at Robin with her big brown eyes，and then slowly scanned the room in search of something special. Shyly she told him，“I’d like to buy a present，sir.” “Well，let’s see，”Robin said，“who is this present for？” “My grandpa. It’s for my grandpa. But I don’t know what to get.” Robin began to make suggestions.“How about a pocket watch? It’s in good condition.”The little girl didn’t answer. She had walked to the doorway and put her small hand on the door. She shook the door gently to ring the bell. Robin’s face seemed to glow as he saw her smiling with excitement. “This is just right，”the little girl said.“Momma says grandpa loves music.” Just then，Robin’s expression changed. Fearful of breaking the little girl’s heart，he told her，“I’m sorry，Missy. That’s not for sale. Maybe your grandpa would like this little radio.” The girl looked at the radio，bowed her head，and sadly sighed，“No，I don’t think so.” In an effort to help her understand，Robin told her that the bell had been his only companion，for the rest of his family were all gone now，except for his estranged (疏远的) daughter whom he had not seen for nearly a decade. Paragraph 1： With a giant tear in her eye，the little girl looked up at him.________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Later that evening when Robin was closing up the shop，he heard a familiar ringing.________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Paragraph 1： With a giant tear in her eye，the little girl looked up at him. She managed a forced smile，murmuring“Thank you，anyway”and turned toward the doorway. Suddenly Robin thought of his estranged daughter. Looking at the leaving girl，Robin called out，“How much have you got to spend，Missy？”At this，the little girl emptied her purse onto the counter—two dollars. After a quick struggle in his mind，Robin said，“Today is Christmas Day and this is your lucky day. The bell costs exactly two dollars.”Holding the special bell close to her chest，the child danced out. Paragraph 2： Later that evening when Robin was closing up the shop，he heard a familiar ringing. He couldn’t believe his ears! There in the doorway stood the little girl，ringing the bell and smiling sweetly. Puzzled，Robin went up to her.“Have you changed your mind，little lady？”“No，”the child grinned，“Momma says the present is for you.”Before Robin had time to say another word，the child’s mother stepped in. Holding back her tears，she gently said，“Hello，Dad.” C 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 A merchant sent his son to learn the secret of happiness from the wisest of men.The young man wandered through the desert for forty days until he reached a beautiful castle at the top of a mountain.There lived the wise man that the young man was looking for. However, instead of finding a holy man, our hero entered a room and saw a great deal of activity: merchants coming and going, people chatting in the corners, a band playing sweet music, and there was a table with different kinds of delicious food on it.The wise man talked to everybody, and the young man had to wait for two hours until it was time for his audience. The wise man listened attentively to the reason for the boy’s visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have the time to explain to him the secret of happiness.He offered his suggestion that the young man take a walk around his castle and come back in two hours’ time. “However, I want to ask you a favor，”he added, handing the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil.“While you walk, carry this spoon and don’t let the oil spill(溢出)．” The young man began to walk around the castle, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon.At the end of the two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man. “So，”asked the wise man，“did you see the beautiful curtains hanging from the windows of my dining room? Did you see the garden that the master of gardeners took ten years to create? Did you notice the beautiful furniture in my library？” Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing.His only concern was not to spill the drops of oil the wise man had given him. “So, go back and see the wonders of my world，” said the wise man.“You can’t trust a man if you don’t know his house.” Paragraph 1： Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and walked around the castle again.________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： “But where are the two drops of oil I give you？” asked the wise man._____________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Paragraph 1： Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and walked around the castle again.Absorbed in the wonders, he forgot the spoon in his hands gradually.This time, not only did he see the beautiful curtains of the dining room, but also the spectacular garden where different kinds of plants grew.What’s more, he also walked into the library to have a look at the wonderful furniture.Then he went back to meet the man and expressed his happiness to see so many great views in the castle. Paragraph 2： “But where are the two drops of oil I give you？” asked the wise man.Embarrassed again, the young man couldn’t say a word.However, the wise man smiled and comforted him，“this is just the secret of happiness.Nowadays, most of us pay much attention to our work but have less time to relax.People often complain about life but they seldom relax to find happiness.Happiness is just around us.”On hearing that, the young man went back with satisfaction.Since then, he could always find happiness in life.查看更多
