人与自我——家庭亲情——对接B1U3
Maya and her older brother Marcus lived with their grandma. Their parents, busy with work in another city, could only return home during the winter holiday. Grandma was good at paper-cutting, and she decorated the whole room with pretty shapes of animals and flowers, devoting herself to keeping Maya and Marcus happy. However, despite her grandmother's love, Maya often felt deep frustration, complaining why she couldn't stay with her parents.
玛雅和她的哥哥马库斯和他们的奶奶住在一起。他们的父母在另一个城市忙于工作,只能在寒假回家。奶奶擅长剪纸,她用漂亮的动物和花朵装饰了整个房间,致力于让玛雅和马库斯开心。然而,尽管有祖母的爱,玛雅经常感到深深的沮丧,抱怨为什么她不能和父母呆在一起。
As the days grew shorter and colder, Maya's excitement came back. She knew that with the arrival of snow, the winter holiday would come, as well as the return of her parents. One day, the weather forecast predicted snow during daytime, so Maya eagerly rose from bed, pressing her nose against the window, and waiting for the first pretty snowflake to drop from the sky.
随着白天越来越短,越来越冷,玛雅的兴奋感又回来了。她知道,随着雪的到来,寒假会到来,她的父母也会回来。有一天,天气预报说白天会下雪,所以玛雅急切地从床上爬起来,把鼻子贴在窗户上,等待第一片美丽的雪花从空中飘落。
However, as it was getting late, Maya's excitement turned into disappointment. Sensing her sadness, grandma comforted her, “Be patient, dear. The snow will come soon.” Marcus, too, tried to be an older brother, reminding Maya that the snow could fall at night. Yet, despite their efforts, Maya remained upset. Night fell and not a single snowflake was in sight. Sadly, Maya went to bed without eating anything, going to her dreams with tears in her eyes.
然而,随着时间的推移,玛雅的兴奋变成了失望。奶奶感觉到了她的悲伤,安慰她说:“亲爱的,耐心点。雪很快就会来的。”马库斯也试着做哥哥,提醒玛雅晚上可能会下雪。然而,尽管他们做出了努力,玛雅仍然感到不安。夜幕降临,看不到一片雪花。遗憾的是,马娅什么都没吃就上床睡觉了,眼里噙着泪水去做梦。

Paragraph 1

第一段续写:为了让Maya开心,祖母和Marcus决定自己制作雪花。——本段续写的关键在于祖母与Marcus通过彼此的爱为Maya制作手工雪花,同时考虑语篇材料的结尾和二段提示句的内容得知,本段的结尾要有时间的变化——即“出现第二天清晨”——参考词汇有:Marcus;grandma;snowflakes;Maya;window;glass;devote oneself to paper-cutting
分析与示范:
Paragraph 1
To cheer Maya up, grandma and Marcus decided to make snowflakes themselves. Grandma immediately devoted herself to paper-cutting, making each paper in her hands then become elegant and delicate snowflakes. At the same time, Marcus went to great length to learn how to make snowflake by following grandma’s technique. One hour later, all kinds of snowflakes piled up like a hill on the table. Then Marcus stuck them on the windows and pictured how excited Maya would be at the sight of them. The next day, Maya woke up alone, spotting something unusual on the glass.(5句)
Paragraph 2
Maya rushed to the windows, and found snowflakes of all shapes and sizes on the glass. ___________________
第二段续写:Maya冲向窗户,发现玻璃上各种形状和尺寸的雪花。——本段续写的核心在于,Maya被祖母和Marcus前夜的行为所感动,同时受到心灵的感动——明白了家庭亲情的价值(注:最巧妙地方式莫过于无声胜有声——最好让祖母和Marcus继续处于睡觉中,让Maya实现心理的升华,是不是比三人直接交集更震撼呢?)——参考词汇:Maya;winter;snow;Marcus;grandma;parents;dropped from the sky
写作示范:
Paragraph 2
Maya rushed to the windows, and found snowflakes of all shapes and sizes on the glass. At that moment, Maya understood what had happened last night. Despite the fact that outside fell no snow still, these artificial snowflakes proved to be the best snow in the winter. In the daylight, they seemed as if they had truly dropped from the sky, which made Maya reconsider her negative emotions she had expressed. Turning back, she rested her eyes on Marcus and grandma who were still asleep. At once she acknowledged that it was them who always accompanied her during her parents’ absence.(5句)
点评:
本次高二英语下期中读后续写是一篇典型的人与自我(家庭亲情方向的命题),主题及形式和新课标命题紧密结合。但是作为一篇同步命题,由于本学期考试范围的调整,感觉选材有些偏失(下雪的内容与X3U6更为贴切),因为本次期中范围为(X2U6-X3U4),所以主题细节更像是过去两年命题的预备版。如果今年期中能严格按照同步课本的范围与主题命题,感觉效果会更好。
参考范文:
To cheer Maya up, grandma and Marcus decided to make snowflakes themselves.With practiced hands,grandma folded paper into intricate patterns,cutting carefully to create delicate snowflakes,while Marcus , observing closely, soon mastered the technique.Hours passed before they finish their handiwork.And then, grandma and Marcus taped the snowflakes on the window glass, imagining Maya’s delight when she woke to find the magic .The next morning, Maya was awakened by Marcus’s shouting, “It is snowing!”
Maya rushed to the windows, and found snowflakes of all shapes and sizes on the glass.Her heart swelled with warmth as the paper snowflakes sparkled in the morning light.When she embraced grandma and Marcus, she understood the depth of their love hidden in the fake snowflakes.Though separated from her parents, she was never alone with the company of grandma and Marcus.From then on, Maya cherished every moment with grandma and Marcus, treasuring the unbreakable bond that united them forever.
