文档简介

短文续写
高分短文续写:
读后续写不需要情节多么有趣或动人,而是需要和原文逻辑融洽,你不是自圆自说,而是帮助原文作者“圆”,并让人感到自然,而不是突儿做作,至于什么科幻,肯定不行
情节尽可能简洁,不要拖泥带水,一般就是续写一个到两个solution的组合:譬如别人的安慰让我镇定下来,然后耐心等待,不一会救援人物出现,脱险结束,总共核心情节就三句而已,中间无非就是感情的变化
三、情节既然很简洁,那么就必须有一定的细节描写积累,否则巧妇难为无米之炊.
这样写,并非是让思维限制了,实际上,好莱坞制作电影基本如此的:危险出现、反派眼看就要成功、超级英雄出现、成功挽救,中间夹杂着老掉牙的爱情和美女,但是有谁说这就是个固定模式而感到厌倦呢 没有,照样观众被感动得一塌糊涂的
实际上大部分的完形和鸡汤文阅读内容模式都是一个套路模式的,只是换了人物的名称而已.
四、读后续写的续写内容,命题角度来看都会围绕“Conflict & Solution”展开.结合历年考查的题材来看,题材主要关于:迷路系列(自己不知道该怎么办)、脱险系列(情况非常紧急,要快速反应了)、争吵系列(解开心结的)
解决方案基本是以下途径:
encouragement(某人的鼓励的话)
2.comfort(某人的安慰)
3.inspiration(突然灵机一动)
4.effort(自已的努力训练)
5.calm(冷静思考)
6.kindness(某人的善良)
7.courage(勇敢做起来)
8.love(爱心,不过这个需要和 move,patience结合,爱只是底子,还需要感化和耐心等待)
9.help(准确说是及时帮助)
当然这个解决方案 ( solution)可能是以上多种组合,譬如先平静下来(calm),然后有了勇气(courage),最后有了动力(inspiration)
比如某一年的熊口脱险:先calm下来,然后灵机一动想出办法,最后救援人员及时赶到;
话题不能过于专业化等,因此看似话题很广,但其实细细分类,还是有迹可循的。这就为我们平时备考提供了线索。各个冲突并非孤立的,而是相互交织,解决方法也是如此:
Conflict and Emotion: 三冲突
Solution and Emotion: 四途径
这样划分后,我们就比较方便去针对性进行训练。下面且以高考真题为例进行说明:

(浙江高考2016年10月)
One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom,“I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp”and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snow capped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!”she cried.“Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling(滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.

典型例题1
It was dark and freezing cold outside though it was four o'clock in the afternoon. The wind kept blowing. At that time, the bell rang loudly, and everybody packed their schoolbags and got ready to go home. The teacher dismissed the students, and they walked orderly to the school gate.
David was in Class One, Grade Seven. His mother would come and pick him up from school but today she was absent. David wondered what had happened, but he was not worried at mil. It usually took only ten minutes for his mother to get to school by riding an electric bike. David saw his best companion, Tommy, who was his deskmate. Tommy was waiting patiently for his mother as well. They began to talk freely and happily. David congratulated Tommy on his excellent performance in the last math exam. At the same time, Tommy thanked David, without whose help he couldn't have made such rapid progress. Five minutes later. Tommy's mother picked up Tommy and they said goodbye to each other.
David had to put up with his moments of solitude. He had no choice but to wait until his mother came into his sight. However, half an hour passed, and there was no sign that his mother would come. David was determined to walk home.
On his way home, David could hardly see any passers-by. The trees shook with the wind and the leaves fell from them without making any noise. David was lost in thinking what was wrong with his mother. Some terrible thoughts jumped out of his mind, "Maybe an accident happened to her. Maybe she got hurt by some robbers. Maybe she was seriously ill. ” Little David burst into tears and quickened his step. He did not dare to think over the results. What he could do was pray for the safety of his mother and wish everything was all right.
Time slipped away like an arrow. In the short distance, it was his beautiful house with a garden. “This must be the worst experience in my life," David thought to himself and felt scared.

练习一
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.

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.

Paragraph 1:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Dad and I found it was so cute that we decided to chase it. After a while, we were completely lost in the forest. There was nothing left in our sight but the trees.“We may not be able to make it back to the farm house in time for supper. ”I thought to myself. After a series of fruitless attempts to find a way out, we felt hungry and tired.
Paragraph 2:
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. We got stuck in the forest. And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way home, for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain. I was almost on the edge of breaking down when my father said, “Don’t worry, my son. I remember there is a river near the farm house. Find the river and we will be back home.”Finally, we found the river and got back to the house along it. Needless to say, we ate a late dinner.
练习2
During this past year, I’ve had three instances of car trouble. Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.
He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.
I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man.
The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home.

When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch.

After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours. The girl said they didn’t have lunch either. She suggested to her parents that we have lunch together. Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic. So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road. During that time, I told about what had happened to me and how I felt. They shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms. After lunch, the girl’s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other.
After they left, I got into my jeep and opened the paper bag. There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag. I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them. At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “We are very happy to be able to help you. We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed. But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm. To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger. The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger. I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved, and I would try my best to help more people in the future to make our world more beautiful and warmer.

It was lunchtime,Jerry,David,Tom,and I went to the dining hall to have lunch.I glanced across the busy cafeteria and saw the new student,Jack.He was holding his plate and waiting in lines.
David noticed him too.“Why’s the new kid dressed like the headmaster ”he asked.Tom and Jimmy laughed.
“Jack’s coo1.He’s in my English and history classes,”I said.However,I kept the truth that Jack and I had become friends when we worked on a project together.We discovered that we were both enthusiastic readers something I would never admit to Jerry,David.Tom.
I saw that Jack was walking toward us.“Don’t do it,”I thought,but in seconds he was at our table.My friends raised their eyebrows.Jerry,David,Tom piled their backpacks on the table and chairs so that there was no space left for another person to sit down.David said.“I don’t think we have room.”
This awkward situation froze the air.I could feel Jack looking at me,but I stared at my lunch as if it contained precious pearls of wisdom instead of rice and beans.After a long,uncomfortable pause,Jack left.I should have spoken up for him,but I couldn’t walk away from my three friends,could I
Jack didn’t speak to me after that meeting.He was soon hanging around with another group of kids.A few months later,I saw an announcement about Jack being chosen to be president of the school book club.I was happy for Jack’s achievements,but I realized I had made a big mistake when I said nothing at the lunch table that day.Why was I so afraid that my friends might find out that I like to read
As I stared at the announcement.I knew I needed to apologize to Jack-even if he did not want to become my friend again.I thought that my three friends would not agree.I also thought that I risked losing them as well.However,I knew that I would lose myself if I did nothing.

As the dismissal bell rang,I gathered up my books,took a deep breath,and went to find Jack.A wave of uncertainty overwhelmed me.On the way to Jack’s classroom.I felt several butterflies still fluttering in my heart.However,urged by the strong desire to be a member of the reading club,I quickened my paces spontaneously.The classroom door opened.Here came Jack.Looking into his eyes,I made an apology,explaining that I wanted to join the school book club.
Jack nodded and then mentioned my three friends.With hesitation,I had no idea how to answer him.Seeing through my mind,Jack smiled and put forward a good idea.The next day,we were having lunch when Jack approached,holding a notice to recruit new members,saying that if someone wanted to join the club,he must take three other students to form a group.To my surprise,my friends were also interested in the book club.In a flash,Jack and I beamed to each other.

Having held the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years, I was the shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited. I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest.
A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked, “Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest ” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was. “Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience,” she added.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Sara,” I replied. “I have a bit of a sore throat.”
This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I even told Ms. Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practice my script. I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools, I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed. My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.

Soon, it was my turn to talk. Facing the crowd, I found myself suffering from stage fright. I spoke in an expressionless voice and even stuttered a few times as I forgot parts of the story. My legs trembled and so did my voice. On seeing my terrible performance, the judges shook their heads. The supporters from my school looked at me in disappointment. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. In the end, I walked off the stage, my eyes filled with tears.
Finally, results were announced after the contest. I didn’t win any prizes—not even a consolation one. It was not surprising at all. I felt ashamed when I faced my classmates and of course, Ms. Sara. I regretted underestimating my opponents and overestimating myself. My vanity had cost me the championship. I now regretted being so arrogant. I had learned my lesson well and finally understood the meaning of the two sayings, “Pride goes before a fall.” and “Practice makes perfect.”
