专题11 读后续写
▲命题特点
读后续写作为高考新题型，是一种将阅读与写作紧密结合的考查形式。该题型的阅读部分多为350词以内的记叙文，旨在考查学生对篇章的把握与理解能力，续写部分为150词左右的两段文章，旨在考查学生对所学语言知识的运用能力以及学生的想象力和创造力。纵观近几年的读后续写，篇篇好故事，或遇险，或趣事，但无论内容是什么，故事读起来都引人入胜，续写写起来也并非易事。
读后续写多是故事性很强的记叙文，文章的难度不大，但是取材非常广泛，它不仅涉及学生的日常生活，还会涉及广泛的其它领域。出题人的设题大同小异，通过完整故事的叙述，考查学生用英语叙事和描写的能力，尤其是对动作、情感和环境的细节描写。每篇文章都遵循一定的时空线、情节线和情感线，因此我们的续写内容必须沿着原文已给的“三线”进行合情合理地想象，并通过对人物动作、外在表情、内在心理和环境等细节描写使之“有血有肉、生动形象。”
▲技巧点拨
1.理清已知信息
精读文章，关注细节和脉络。阅读是读后续写的起点，起点的高低直接影响着续写能达到的高度，因此考生要通过阅读梳理文中主要人物之间的关系、主要人物的性格特点、故事发展线索，以便把握故事的走向，构建情节。厘清主要信息不仅可以帮助考生理解故事情节，推断故事发展方向，同时对续写时的人物描写有指导作用。
2. 研判续写方向
（1）定文章基调
在读完文章后，考生要根据各段落的主旨，明确文章的整体构架和中心思想。此外，考生需要通过文中的细节描述来确定续写内容的基调，如分析描写人物的形容词和人物发出的动作、文中的对话、所给的两个续写段首句来确定续写的基调，寻找续写的切入口，从而展开合理的情节想象。
（2）定文章走向
所给续写段落开头语对故事发展有提示、衔接、引导和限制作用。续写时，考生要站在作者的角度，继承原文写作思路，需要注意续写内容应积极向上，设计的结局应是正向的，如意外事件类的续写结局应是事情得以解决。此外，续写第二段的开头往往暗示着第一段的故事走向。
（3）定续写框架
在读后续写中，细读是起点，写作则是重点，而建构是难点。考生可将梳理出的信息和拓展的细节结合形成故事发展的要点，从而构建简单的续写故事框架。另外，在写作时，考生应注意句子结构的多样性、词汇的丰富性，利用储备的语言知识，根据内容慎重选择词汇、词块和句式，且有意识地使用高级句式，使表达富有感染力。此外，考生还应该注意续写内容与所给段落首句的衔接程度。
3.推测后续情节
续写每个段落时，考生可以用倒推的方式构思四个情节，可以用“四问法”呈现续写内容，围绕主旨推断情节发展。续写第一段以续写第一段与第二段衔接内容为起点，倒推第一段的情节；续写的第二段以问题圆满解决、正能量的传递为宗旨，倒推第二段的故事内容。两段内容聚焦主要人物的所看、所听、所感、所想、所说、所做，以及人物之间的互动，关注主次人物之间的交流，尽量不要唱独角戏。考生续写时对每段设四问，围绕这四问作答，既能凸显主旨，又能关照全文，使续写文章整体协调、情节合理。或者，考生在考场写作时，可以构建“四步倒推法”思维导图，以便建构续写的情节，从而快速成文。
4.续写精彩华章
(1)抓住关键信息，构思续写框架。通读全文，理清记叙文六要素脉络。掌握记叙文的三大线索即时间线、情节线和感情线。把握文章主旨和故事的发展方向，确保续写的内容和原文要有逻辑上的一致性，并能回应原文的信息。
(2)根据两段首句和“五所”——所见，所闻，所说，所思，所做，对此进行设问，可以有效地丰富续写的情节。
(3)注意四个顺畅呼应，进行有效衔接。注意续写首句与给出的首段首句的衔接、续写首段尾句与给出的次段首句的衔接、给出的次段首句与续写次段首句的衔接和文章结尾升华与文章主题意义的衔接。
5. 烘托故事情节
(1)充分利用环境描写。不仅可以揭示故事发生的背景，还可以渲染气氛、衬托人物的内心世界。当人物在碰到困难时候，我们往往要加大笔墨来描写故事环境的险恶，恐怖和不安，衬托角色的内心，从而推动故事情节到高潮。
(2)学会分解动作，形成一个完整的动作链，让描写更加丰富生动。动作链可以和情感，环境，心理，语言等结合，形成动作面。
(3)放大角色的内心冲突，有助于建立紧张和不确定的时刻。
(4)运用合适的修辞手法，如明喻、暗喻、拟人、夸张等，让续写更加生动传神。

There’s a park close to my house, with a small lake in one corner that’s home to many creatures. Every Sunday morning, I go jogging in this park. As I circle the lake, I notice an elderly woman sitting by the water with a metal cage beside her.
Today, my curiosity made me stop and approach her.
As I took a closer look, I saw that the cage was actually a small metal trap, and there were a few turtles walking around the trap, unharmed. The lady took one of the turtles in her hands and gently rubbed the shell (壳) with a sponge (海绵) brush.
I came over to say hello to her politely. “Good morning,” I said. “I come here for jogging every Sunday morning and I see you sitting here by the lake. Please don’t mind my curiosity and innocence, but I really want to know what you’re doing to the turtles.”
The lady smiled and said, “I am cleaning the turtle’s shell. Turtles gradually get more and more algae (水藻) and other dirt on their shells, which weighs them down and prevents their swimming abilities. It also reduces their ability to absorb heat. Over time, their shells become weak and rot (腐烂) away.”
“Oh wow! That’s really thoughtful of you!” I shouted in shock.
She continued, “Every Sunday morning, I spend a couple of hours by the lake to relax and help out these little guys stay clean. Strange as it sounds, this is my little way to make a difference in the world.”
I thought for a while and said, “But all freshwater turtles have algae and other dirt on their shells. They live with that their whole lives, don’t they?”
“Yes, sadly, they can’t help it,” she replied.

Frank Mason opened a new art gallery. He intended to use the gallery to showcase the best artworks from local artists, many of whom deserved to be more well-known. He hanged a highly detailed landscape by Sheila, his favorite artist. It was valuable as she had disappeared several years ago.
A few years later, Frank had grown his gallery into a business. One cold day, Frank stood at the window and watched the strong winds send snow down the street outside. He noticed a woman standing outside. Snowflakes covered her shoulders. He opened the door and greeted her. The woman shook her head. “I haven’t got any money. I just wanted to get out of the snow for a bit. w Frank felt bad for her being stuck out in the cold.
“Do you like art?” he asked. “I love art. Unfortunately, I can only afford to visit free galleries. The lady quickly spoke out a few names. Frank was surprised to hear she loved many of the same little-known artists he did. He would never expect this poor woman to have such a good understanding of art and he noticed the woman’s hands trembled severely.
“Don’t mind my shivers (颤抖),” she said “I’ve struggled to get medication since I lost my home. Frank felt a rush of sympathy. He showed her around the gallery and finally decided to end the tour with his favorite piece. He opened the door to the room that contained his private collection.The woman pointed to the landscape on display. “That’s mine,” she said “I painted that. ”
“What?” Frank was shocked. The woman showed Frank her social security card.
“You’re one of my favorite artists. What happened to you?” Frank asked. “I developed Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病).” Sheila sighed. “I couldn’t paint anymore.” Frank offered her a job helping to care for his children and live with his family in order to cure her disease.

My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.

The day was Thankful Thursday, our “chosen day” of service. It’s a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out in the world and make a positive contribution, however small it is. On this particular Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do, but we knew that something would present itself.
Driving along a busy Houston road, I prayed for guidance in our quest to fulfill our weekly Act of Kindness. Around the noon hour, my two little ones wasted no time in letting me know their hunger, chanting, “McDonald’s, McDonald’s, McDonald’s” as we drove along. And I began searching earnestly for the nearest McDonald’s. Suddenly I realized that almost every crossroad I passed through was occupied by a beggar. And then it hit me!
If my two little ones were hungry, then all these beggars must be hungry, too. Perfect! Our Act of Kindness had presented itself. We were going to buy lunch for the beggars. After finding a McDonald’s and ordering two Happy Meals for my girls, I ordered an additional 15 lunches and we set out to deliver them. It was exciting. We would pull alongside a beggar, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things would get better. Then we’d say, “Oh, by the way, here’s lunch.” And then we would head to the next crossroad.
It was the best way to give. There wasn’t enough time for us to introduce ourselves or explain what we were going to do, nor was there time for them to say anything back to us. The Act of Kindness was anonymous and empowering for each of us, and we loved what we saw in the rearview mirror: a surprised and delighted person holding up his lunch bag and just looking at us as we drove off. It was wonderful!

My name is Yolanda. Whenever I recall the autumn 20 years ago, my heart is filled with mixed feelings. Joyce, aged 18---just one year older but much taller than me--was my best friend, so do our parents.
“Joyce is a knock out,” Mom would say so. I would have protested if these remarks were on anyone else. But Joyce had her unique charm--the long light hair curled slightly on her temples, the large and beaming eyes; an invariable smile on her cheeks whether in the brilliance of sunshine or in the twilight of dusk--the figure was too graceful for anyone to defend.
Sure enough, that autumn witnessed her fortune take over---signing with a modeling agency, now already doing registration and runway work.
On my 17th birthday, Father gave me his refurbished (翻新的) SVT Cobra R as he promised--a gift I like most but to be wasted on me for now, as I did not come of age for a driving licence. I promised Dad I would be driving around in a year’s time.
But the urge to have a go had been scratching me.
That weekend, I proposed to drive Joyce to the movie’s downtown as my gift of congratulations on her job offer. She accepted my offer of a ride in my beloved car. I reminded her to put on the lap belt. There we went,putting some fries on the seat between us to share.
It was a purple night, and I was driving my best friend around contentedly. Turning around a curve too fast, before I knew it, I skidded along and hit the guardrail in the middle of the road. My cheekbone cracked on the steering wheel, the car came to a stop with the passenger door open just a few feet from me. There under the moonlight on the path, French fries, the dash (仪表板), and my lap. An impossible amount of blood on Joyce’s face, flaps of skin were hanging out of her eyes...
We were rushed to the hospital in separate ambulances. Later, I learned that I was to recover soon. When I asked about Joyce, my mother hesitated for a moment, then spoke quietly, “She’s all right, but the scar above her eye--best plastic surgeon in the city, but end of her modeling career.”

On his way home, Tommy saw a gray, long-haired cat sitting on the sidewalk. As he stopped to pet her, he noticed that she was not wearing a collar(项圈). She rubbed her head against his hand. She reminded Tommy of Smoky, the cat he had when he was younger. Smoky’s fur had been long and gray too. Tommy petted the cat for a while. Then he said, “I have to go,” and continued to go home. To his surprise, the cat followed him on the way.
When Tommy was home, he walked up the porch(门廊)steps and went into the kitchen. The cat followed him up the steps and sat quietly outside the door, watching him closely. Tommy made a sandwich. The cat continued to stare at him. Tommy sighed. “I know it’s not a good idea to feed a stray cat(流浪猫),” he said, “but you look so hungry! I can’t sit here and eat without feeding you!”
Tommy put some turkey on a plate for the cat. As Tommy watched, she ate every piece of the turkey and then began to clean her face. “Wow!” Tommy said, “You must have been starving. I wonder how long it has been since someone fed you.”
Tommy finished his sandwich and looked at the cat. Her long fur was matted(缠结), Tommy remembered that Smoky’s brush and toys were in the storeroom. “I’m going to clean you up a little,” Tommy said to the cat. He found Smoky’s brush and got to work. As the dirt came out, the cat’s fur began to get lighter. “Hey!” Tommy said, realizing the truth. “You’re not gray—you’re white!”
After the brush, the cat climbed onto Tommy’s lap. “You’re so friendly. You probably belong to someone,” Tommy said. “I bet you’re just lost.” When Tommy’s father came home, Tommy showed him the lovely cat. “Why don’t you make some notices to put up in the neighborhood?” his father suggested.

As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.
In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.
On Dad’s final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. “Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,” he used to say, “and a story at every one.” A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate.
A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn’t the case.
As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.
While Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad’s postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.

Two years ago, homeless Minnie was adopted by a single rich woman. Life did get a bit easier ever since she was taken in by her foster mom, but the little girl was still not happy. How she wished she could have a father!
One morning in class, Minnie’s teacher, Mr Thompson, made a surprising announcement, making Minnie frown (皱眉) again.
“Kids, tomorrow is Father’s Day! And at school, we’re all celebrating it by having breakfast with Dads! All of you get to bring your dads or anyone you look up to as your dad to school tomorrow. We’ll all sit in one circle, share funny stories, and have breakfast together.”
“What a terrible idea!” Minnie muttered (咕哝) under her breath.
For the rest of the day, most kids were talking up their fathers: businessmen, policemen, engineers, and even an actor. Everybody had somebody who was a father figure, except for Minnie.
After school, Mr Thompson spotted the sad little girl sitting alone by the school gate.
“Are you all right, Minnie?” Mr Thompson asked. Suddenly, the child hugged his legs and cried. Minnie told her trouble to her teacher and Mr Thompson comforted her.
After getting home that evening, Mr Thompson couldn’t shake off the sadness he had seen on Minnie’s face. Suddenly, he had an idea. He opened his laptop, and as the keys on the keyboard clattered, Mr Thompson began to smile.
He was putting out a post on social media, sharing Minnie’s story and asking for a dad to volunteer for Minnie and show up to school the next day as her father figure. Thirty minutes later, his phone buzzed.
And it buzzed again and again. By the time the teacher checked his phone, he was shocked to see the number flashing across the screen.
“50 volunteers? Am I reading this right?” Mr Thompson gasped. He put on his glasses and read through all the responses on his post. He was so surprised. These 50 volunteers all wanted to come and help Minnie.

Today was Community Service Day at school. Maya’s class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home. It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace (腿支架) to school, which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning, Maya looked down, feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier, she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still, she was unsure about others’ reaction. All morning at school, kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief, they didn’t say anything.
In the classroom, Maya was drawing little green buds (芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking, “What’s that for?” Not knowing what to say, Maya pretended she didn’t hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness, she glanced back at him, and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch, the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path. Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair, with a big smile on her face, sat the lady, wearing a pink coat, with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life. Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir, she greeted first. “I’m Joan, ” she said cheerfully, “Glad to meet you. ”
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration, “You’ve written a poem! That’s so artistic!” Samir’s face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture. “The first flowers of spring!” she cried in delight. “You really have a gift for using colour!” she said. Clearly, Joan’s praise added great power into Maya.

My heart pounded as I stared at the screen. I re-read the message from my friend, Noelle. Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news, a recent development Noelle had shared with only a few close friends, including me. She didn’t know who let the word out, but she was hurt and disappointed.
I felt so guilty. I knew how the news had got out because I had been the one to tell someone else. Honestly, I hadn’t realized she meant to keep it so close to home, but at the same time I’d known it wasn’t a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else.
Did she really not know it was me? It would have been easy to come clean and apologize if her note was an accusation. But it read as though it had been copied and pasted to several people. So I chose the coward’s way out.
“I’m so sorry that happened to you,” I typed. “How awful that your confidence was broken.”
I hoped that would do. Her reply came back within seconds: “Thank you.”
Surely, that would be good enough. I didn’t take responsibility for my actions, but I’d sympathized with her pain. It would be okay for me to remain anonymous (不公开姓名的) as long as I was sorry, wouldn’t it?
But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only of my original action, but because I’d put wrong upon wrong by covering it up.
I felt miserable at church on Sunday. I tried to avoid communication. Watching others take part while I sat in silence was a painful experience-one I never wanted to repeat.
Later, the speaker in the church challenged us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way to being the best of ourselves, and if so, we should not to let it stop us and we needed to clear it away.

I was a single mother of four children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our backs. I always told myself to be brave and strong, just for my four children. I hoped all my efforts would be worthwhile, as long as my children could grow up healthily. Every New Year’s Day we drove downtown to enjoy a special dinner, but the big excitement for the kids was the fun of shopping at the mall. This was a tradition of my family, so they all looked forward to the coming of the day. They talked and planned for weeks ahead of time, asking each other what they wanted for New Year’s Day.
The big day arrived and we started out early. I gave each of the four kids a twenty-dollar bill and asked them to search for gifts. Then everyone scattered (散开) with the bill. I sat at a table in a cafe waiting for my children and enjoying an instant of silence. It must be a happy day.
Back in the car driving home, everyone was excited about the day, laughing and asking each other about what they had bought. I noticed Ginger, my younger daughter had only one small and flat bag with her. I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars—fifty-cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty-dollar bill I had given her? I was angry. After getting home, I called her into my bedroom and closed the door. I couldn’t hold back my anger and shouted at her, “What about the rest of the money? No one would be convinced all these candies are worth 20 dollars. What did you do with the rest of the money?”

（2023·吉林白城·高二统考期末）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。
For as long as I could remember, I had wanted to travel into the Amazon jungle. During the last summer break at university, I decided to travel there. I didn’t have much money. So I found the least expensive flight to Lima, Peru. Once there, I planned on traveling to the town of La Merced. To get there, however, I had to take a taxi for the next fourteen hours.
By the time I reached La Merced, I found a hotel and asked the man at the front desk if there were any travel routes into the jungle. His simple answer was “no”. In fact, there was no way to go farther into the jungle except by hiring a boat to travel down the Amazon. However, I found that an impossible choice.
At that point, I decided to go out and get something to eat. I had walked less than a minute from the hotel when a rainstorm swept across the town. I raced ahead to the closest restaurant to get out of the rain.
I took a table by myself and ordered a meal. I was very tired. I was also feeling sorry for myself. I had flown down to Peru and then taken a fourteen—hour journey in a taxi only to discover there was no way to get into the jungle.
Then, I saw an old man. He headed over to my table. “Hi, my name’s Fritz,” he said in English. With a smile, I introduced myself and we talked for half an hour. I told him my story. He could see I was tired and unhappy, and his eyes softened as he listened.
“Come with me and stay with me and my wife Helga at our home in the jungle. We have a coffee plantation (种植园) there. You can stay as long as you’d like. At six o’clock tomorrow morning, I’ll pick you up at the hotel and take you on a trip into the jungle,” Fritz said.
“Thank you very much,” I said. “Six o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Honestly, I didn’t expect he would appear.
