The Meredith family lived in a small community.As the economy was in decline,some people in the town had lost their jobs.Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet.People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman.She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor.She knew they had problems,and they needed all kinds of help.When she had time,she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before.There was a man sick in bed,his wife,who took care of him and could not go out to work,and their little boy.The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children,John,Harry,and Clara.“He is such a help to his mother.He wants very much to earn some money,but I don’t see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room,the children sat thinking about Bernard.“I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments,John said nothing,but,suddenly,he sprang to his feet and cried,“I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention.When John had an idea,it was sure to be a good one.“I tell you what we can do,” said John.“You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us?Well,we can make popcorn(爆米花),and put it into paper bags,and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
When Mrs Meredith heard of John’s idea,she thought it was a good one,too.
With everything ready,Bernard started out on his new business.
范文欣赏
When Mrs Meredith heard of John’s idea,she thought it was a good one,too.So she praised John for his proposal,and offered him some advice.Very soon the children were busy popping the corn,while their mother went out to buy the paper bags.When she came back,she brought Bernard with her.All the children came surrounding Bernard and they gave a basket to Bernard.The basket was full of paper bags which were filled with popcorn.
With everything ready,Bernard started out on his new business.And much sooner than could be expected,Bernard returned with an empty basket.Never before had he earned so much money in his life.When he found that it was all to be his,he was so happy that he could hardly speak,but his bright smiling face spoke for him.People began to watch for the “little popcorn boy”,who earned some money to take home every week.All this was because of John’s bright idea.
读文本 寻信息
读后续写是将读和写结合起来的一种新型写作形式。首先要求学生快速阅读所给文本,获取有效信息。读后续写多为记叙文,我们在阅读时要注意以下几个方面:
1.抓住记叙文六要素
即人物、时间、地点、事件的起因、经过和结果。而读后续写所提供的文本没有最后结果要素,因此阅读文本时要抓住前面五个要素,并推测结果要素。
2.掌握记叙文的线索
记叙文的线索是贯穿全文、将材料串联起来的一条主线,它把文章的各个部分联结成一个统一整体。记叙文主要线索有:时间线、情节线和情感线等。有些线索以明线的形式出现,有些以暗线的形式出现。阅读文本时要抓住这些线索。必要时可以列出以更好地理解文章,为续写做好准备。只有对原文的脉络线索和段落结构有准确、深刻的理解,续写的内容才能和原文紧密契合。
3.把握文章主旨,推测故事方向
只有把握了文章的主旨意图,才能很好地推测故事发展方向以完成续写,并确保续写的内容和原文存在逻辑上的一致性,照应原文的信息。
4.分析用词特点和语言风格
通过分析文章的语言特点,确保在续写时尽量在语言特点上和行文风格上与所给文章保持一致。

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。
One fall,my wife Elli and I had a single goal:to photograph polar bears.We were staying at a research camp outside “the polar bear capital of the world”—the town of Churchill in Manitoba,Canada.
Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous.Polar bears—like all wild animals—should be photographed from a safe distance.When I’m face to face with a polar bear,I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens.But sometimes,that is easier said than done.This was one of those times.
As Elli and I cooked dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed,and smelled our garlic bread.
The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp,which was surrounded by a high wire fence.He pulled and bit the wire.He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.
Terrified,Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew.We yelled at the bear,hit pots hard,and fired blank shotgun shells into the air.Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off.Not this polar bear though—he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子).
I radioed the camp manager for help.He told me a helicopter was on its way,but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived.Making the best of this close encounter(相遇),I took some pictures of the bear.
Elli and I feared the fence wouldn’t last through 30 more minutes of the bear’s punishment.The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray.The spray burns the bears’ eyes,but doesn’t hurt them.So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and,through the fence,sprayed him in the face.With an angry roar(吼叫),the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
A few minutes later,the bear came back.
At the very moment,the helicopter arrived.
1.抓住文章六要素
人物:my wife Elli and I
时间:one fall
地点:at a research camp outside the town of Churchill in Manitoba,Canada
起因:to photograph polar bears
经过:encounter a hungry polar bear
结果:根据文本内容和续写第一段与第二段提示首句,推测结果应是成功脱险。
2.掌握文章线索
(1)情节线:As Elli and I cooked dinner.→A hungry bear followed his nose to our camp.→The bear pulled and bit the wire fence.→I used pepper spray.→The bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes.→...
(2)情感线:去拍摄北极熊的兴奋(amazing)→遭遇北极熊的惊恐(terrified)→最终成功脱险(relieved)
3.把握文章主旨,推测故事方向
本文主题语境属于人与自然。文章讲述了主人公拍摄北极熊的一次危险(dangerous)经历,重点描述了主人公遭遇北极熊以及与北极熊斗争的惊险过程,阐述人与动物和谐相处的主旨。由此推测故事发展的方向:一是如何与北极熊斗智斗勇;二是在直升机的帮助下,最终成功脱险。
4.分析用词特点和语言风格
文章侧重动作描写,运用大量的动词,如sniffed,smelled,followed,pulled,bit,yelled,hit,fired,ran等,句式长短结合,生动形象地描述人熊相遇的过程,画面感强。并用一些情感类心理描写与情节叙述,渲染了人熊大战的紧张气氛。续写时要侧重动作与心理描写。
读首句 猜内容
读后续写题型属于半开放性的,要求对文本后面的故事情节及故事结尾做出推断,这种形式既可以让考生充分发挥想象力,又能让考生有章可循。后面续写的两段所给的首句很关键,起到承上启下的作用,对于推测下文情节至关重要。同时,由第二段的首句也可以推断第一段的结尾信息。根据每段的首句,可以设问几个问题,然后把答案组合起来,基本上就是读后续写部分的雏形。

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。
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:续写词数应为150左右。
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.
We had no idea where we were and it got dark.
首句猜测
第一段我们可以尝试提出以下问题:
①What was the rabbit like
→
②What was my reaction to the rabbit
→
③What would we see while chasing the rabbit
→
④What happened next
→
然后进行详细回答,我们就可以写出这样的一段文章:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.It was such a lovely creature that I followed its track.But the rabbit was quickly out of my sight.In the process of seeking for it,I was totally attracted by the charm of nature.The forests,the flowers,the groups of sheep in the far distance and the singing river all made me relaxed.Both Dad and I had forgotten the time and it seemed difficult for us to go back.
写作第二段时,我们可以根据上一段的内容以及本段首句“We had no idea where we were and it got dark.”得出两个信息——迷路和天色已晚。因此我们可以围绕这两个信息试着提出以下问题:
①How did I feel and how did Dad react
→
②Did we find the way out?How
→
③Who may come to our rescue
→
④How about the surroundings in the darkness
→
然后进行详细回答,我们就可以写出以下内容:
We had no idea where we were and it got dark.The cold wind was blowing hard and the darkness made me scared.“Dad,what can we do?” I asked.“All is going well!” Dad answered.We wandered in the forest and didn’t know what would happen to us.Suddenly,we heard the sound of a river.We decided to follow the river.After a while,we heard the familiar bleating of sheep and then caught sight of the farm house.
巧润色 成美文
写作微技能三告诉我们根据首句提出一些问题,并进行详细回答,然后把答案连接起来,组成一个简单的段落,但是字数达不到要求,中间也没有衔接句,更缺少一些生动的语言表达,因为读后续写的语言表达要生动形象,离不开对人物动作的准确描写,情绪、神态的生动刻画,以及环境的渲染烘托。特别是环境的描写,它服务于文章的主题和人物刻画,不仅给读者一种身临其境的感受,有时候还可以推动故事情节的发展,烘托人物的心理活动,让文本的语言更丰富,读者的体验更深刻。真可谓“一切景语皆情语”(王国维)。借景抒情、寓情于景是写作中常用的手法。环境描写也可分为客观环境和主观环境。这里主要聚集客观环境(自然环境)的描写。
典例展示
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.My horse was so afraid that it began running ferociously.I could feel the air hitting my face heavily and hear my dad’s hysterical cry from a distance.My heart was pumping wildly and my blood was pulsing through my veins.I pulled back the reins,distracted the horse and tried every means to stop the horse but in vain.After what seemed an eternity,my dad caught up with me breathlessly and managed to stop my horse.But we found that we were in distress,with no track beside us.
We had no idea where we were and it got dark.The river beside us was still and serene under the last ray of sunshine but we didn’t have the mood to enjoy it.Suddenly,it occurred to us that there was also a river nearby the farm house.Realizing the river may be a guide back,our spirits soared and we began to trot briskly along the river.Just a few minutes later,catching sight of the shape of the house,I felt a feeling of relief and relaxation surged through me.Our being lost added a special taste to my adventurous vacation which I would remember all my life.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

It was not only the gift, but the love of the children for her that moved her very much. The two children could finish cooking a breakfast, which she didn’t expect. The children said loudly, “Happy Mother’s Day!” Mother hugged them tightly and kissed them again and again.

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。
The following stories are not mine, but my father's. I was too small to really do anything at the time. But I stood to witness them. I grew up thinking all of the world was like my father. I think that all my life has been full of both kindness and cruelty. But the kindness affected me deeper than anything else. My father says that this may go on the internet, but asks that it should not be published in paper form as these are very personal to him.
The first act of kindness that I can remember was when I was very little, I was six years old, my family and I had been out camping. Mom, Dad and sisters were ready to go home. As we put everything in the truck to go home, Dad told us to move the fire extinguisher from the back of the truck to under the driver's seat and told us a story of how a friend had been trapped in a burning car, and how since then it was always important for him to have an extinguisher ready.
Mom always rolled her eyes— it was the one hundred-thousandth time he had told the story.
On our way home from the lake where we camped, we took a short cut, which was not a short cut at all. It was getting late and about to rain. Mom started to get nervous. I didn't realize everyone had gone quiet. I was enjoying looking at the clouds as we turned a long corner.
My dad turned into the left lane, stopped the truck and ran out. Mom told him to come back. It was then that I looked out of the windshield and saw a little red car on the side of the road. Smoke was coming out of the hood. Before my father reached the driver s side door, it burst into flames.

Dad came back to the van and took out his knife.

Dad left Mom and my older sister on the road, and took the man to their home an hour 's away.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Dad came back to the van and took out his knife. Approaching the burning car bravely, my father struggled to cut the driver’s seat belt and pulled him back to the van. Then Dad took out the fire extinguisher under his seat and headed for the car once more. Luckily, the fire had been brought under control before things got worse. What a narrow escape! The young driver would have been killed without my father’s kindness and bravery. Luckily, the man was only slightly injured and came to himself after a while. Warm-hearted, my father even volunteered to drive him to their home.
Paragraph 2:
Dad left Mom and my older sister on the road, and took the man to their home an hour's away. His parents could not help expressing their appreciation for my father’s timely help, without which their son would never have survived the terrible accident. Since then, we have never taken my father’s story lightly and his kindness has been planted deeply in my mind. The experience taught us not only the importance of preparing for the urgent situation, but also the significance of being kind.

In July 2019, to celebrate his 45th birthday, Colin Dowler booked off a week from his job as a maintenance manager for the Vancouver Island Health Authority. He planned to spend two days on his own, finding a route he would eventually use to climb Mount Doggie Dowler.
His wife Jenifer didn't like the sound of her husband's latest plan. She was used to Dowler going on adventures by himself, but this time he'd boat to an unknown bay, bike an unpopulated road , hike through grizzly bear country, and camp overnights alone. There was too much room for disaster.
The night before his journey Colin packed the necessities. He filled the remaining pockets of his bag with a handheld GPS, hiking poles, his homemade sausage, and a few other essentials. Instead of his usual Swiss Army knife, he took a three-inch stainless steel pocket knife given to him by his dad.
The weather that Sunday, July 28 was nice. Colin pulled his car into the Campbell River port and quickly launched and set off in his motorboat with a mountain bike on board. About eight o'clock in the morning, he arrived at Ramsay Arm, and found a spot to tie the boat near a logging (伐木)camp where he chatted with some logging workers.
One of the workers , Vito, gave him a ride in his truck until the forest got too thick. Colin took off his bike and backpack from the truck and started his hiking and route searching. In order not to lose the way back, he marked his trail with blue ribbons (布条).
As he made his seven-kilometer marker, he came around a bend and suddenly put on the brakes—a dirty grizzly bear stood right in the middle of the narrow road, 30 meters away. Colin calculated his chances of turning around for a quick escape, but the bear could easily catch up and stop him before he picked up speed.
注意:

The bear suddenly stood up in a threatening way.

After what seemed like hours, Colin came to himself.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1:
The bear suddenly stood up in a threatening way. Meanwhile, Colin threw the sausages in his backpack towards the bear, hoping the flavor would attract it. Unfortunately, the bear rushed to him. Colin was pushed to the ground and bit in the left leg. “Ah!” he screamed with the unbearable pain. Blood flowing out, Colin suddenly remembered the knife in his pocket. He stabbed the bear’s neck as fast and strong as possible. The bear roared with pain and ran away. Losing much blood, Colin lost his consciousness afterwards.
Paragraph 2:
After what seemed like hours, Colin came to himself. He found himself surrounded by the logging workers in the camp. He was being cared for by a doctor. It was Vito who saved Colin. When he drove back, he spotted the bleeding bear and sensed that something terrible must have happened. With the blue ribbons leading his way, he finally found Colin. “You are so lucky, Colin.Without being noticed, you could have been killed for loss of blood. God help those who help themselves.” said the doctor.

It was an Art lesson. Rachel sat at the desk watching her classmates busy preparing the water jars and paints. She understood why Mrs. Weston asked her to sit down and got Lisa to fetch everything for her. It was always a disaster when Rachel tried to do Art!
Rachel sighed and reached out to dip her brush in some black paint and—oh, no! She knocked over the jar. The water spread across the desk and drowned the paper. Lisa called Mrs. Weston to see what Rachel had done. Rachel went red in the face. She jumped to her feet to get a cloth. Her chair fell over backwards. She turned round and her paintbrush caught Lisa across the face, giving her a black moustache. Lisa was so surprised that she fell back against a wire bookstand. It came crashing down and the books went all over the floor.
How clumsy (笨拙的)! Rachel thought as she went home on the bus. The bus stopped outside her house. She jumped up and her elbow (肘部) knocked a woman’s hat right over her eyes. Oh, no! Rachel said sorry, got off and ran indoors. Mum wasn’t in the kitchen but lay in bed as she caught an awful cold. Rachel offered to make a cup of tea but Mum would rather wait for Dad. Rachel sighed. She understood Mum was afraid she would spill (溅出) it.
“But would you go to Mrs. Willow for some cold cure ” asked Mum. Rachel turned to the door at once. “But Rachel, Mrs. Willow’s house is full of beautiful things, so if she asks you to come in, you’d better say no.” Rachel sighed and ran out.
Mrs. Willow was an old lady with white hair and sharp blue eyes living in an old house. She opened the door and invited her in. Rachel said why she came and that she preferred to wait outside remembering her mother’s warning. Mrs. Willow insisted Rachel come inside. Rachel took a deep breath and stepped in. She looked round Mrs. Willow’s sitting room and saw at once why Mum had been worried.

【答案】
There were beautiful things everywhere—pretty china figures and delicate vases. Rachel stood very still, afraid of knocking something over. Mrs. Willow handed Rachel a small brown bottle. Rachel couldn’t wait to get away, feeling any minute there would be a disaster. She thanked her and turned to the door when something brushed against her leg. Rachel was so surprised that she jumped backwards. It was a cat! But her elbow hit a vase and it fell to the floor, broken. How awkward!
With a smile Mrs. Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before. Rachel sighed and stared at her. “I did, when I was young. You couldn’t have been as clumsy as I was,” Mrs. Willow said, her sharp blue eyes shining. “Keep telling yourself you are a swan and it will work.” Rachel doubtfully said that several times. After they cleared up the vase, they drank tea from china cups and ate cakes off delicate plates and Rachel didn’t break another thing. It was a kind of magic. Rachel smiled.
Possible Version Two:
There were beautiful things everywhere—pretty china figures and delicate vases. All the treasures seemed to boast a long history and thus priceless. “Wow, it is really a land of wonder.” Rachel couldn’t help admiring the elegance of the china figures and vases. Mom’s words echoing(重复) in her mind, curiosity still got the upper hand(占上风). She reached for one of them, but unfortunately, the vase slipped off her hand and lay in pieces on the floor. Her heart missing a beat, she felt terribly worried.
With a smile Mrs. Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before. Rachel sighed and stared at her. “No worry at all. It’ll be perfect after being mended,” Mrs. Willow said, her sharp blue eyes shining. “Nobody grows up without being clumsy.” Rachel let out a long sigh and for the first time she felt good about her clumsy self. She believed what Mrs. Willow said must have the same magic as her special cold cure. To her amazement, she returned home with the bottle of medicine safe and sound.

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。
On a sunny Saturday in June, Alyson, 3, squealed(尖叫) with laughter as she and her mother, Marlen, played hide-and-seek in the front yard of their home. With Marlen close behind, tiny Alyson flashed into the backyard of an elderly neighbor. About halfway across the yard, Alyson suddenly disappeared, seemingly swallowed whole by a barely visible opening in the ground. Marlen screamed.
The neighbor’s caretaker, Luz, 26, was preparing dinner in the neighbor’s kitchen and assumed the shrieks were the sounds of children playing. But she ran outside anyway and found Marlen sobbing and Alyson’s sister Damary, 25, kneeing on the grass, dialing 911.
“Alyson fell in the hole!” Damary cried to Luz. Luz gave a quick glance down the hole in disbelief and saw only darkness. Then she heard Alyson’s wails(哭泣) from deep underground. “Hang on there, sweety. We’ll get you out soon.”
Luz ran inside the house and down to the basement for a ladder,which happened to be not very long. She then settled for a gray extension cord(延长线) to use as a rope with which to rappel(用绳索下降) into the hole. Back in the yard, she and Damary used their hands to dig at the hole, widening the opening from 7 inches in diameter to about 20 inches.Marlen sat on the grass,too distracted to help.
At the thought that Alyson might get hurt and was too young to grasp and climb the rope on her own, Luz made up her mind to go down herself. When the police detective Aaron arrived a few minutes later, Luz was already in the hole up to her waist.
“Get out of here,” the officer told Luz, lifting her up by the arm. “It’s dangerous for you.”
“It’s more dangerous for the Baby,” she argued, “She’s going to die.”

【答案】Paragraph 1
The detective begged Luz to wait for help, but she was determined. Touched by her resolution, the detective had no alternative but to offer his assistance. He braced one end of the extension cord, and Luz lowered herself, arm over arm, sliding slowly down the rope. On touching the ground, she discovered Alyson was submerged by water up to her neck. Calming the soaked and shivering child, she quickly picked her up in her arms. However, with only one rope, it was impossible for Luz alone to push the little girl out. They had to wait for help, yet a sense of fear began to creep over her since it was cold and dark down here.
Paragraph 2
Minutes later, the Fire Department and Rescue Squad arrived.With the confirmation of the two's safety, they lowered a ladder into the hole. Luz then managed to climb out and handed Alyson over. Emergency workers rushed the stunned toddler to an ambulance, surveying to check the damage, only to find her miraculously uninjured, without even a scratch, though a bit scared and covered with dirt.The whole family expressed their heartfelt gratitude for Luz's help. Eventually, Luz's heroic deed went viral in the neighborhood. Whenever she was praised, she just smiled, “speaking of saving lives, every second counts.”
