续写5步骤第2节 技法指导
读后续写以记叙文为主,记叙文是以记人、叙事、写景、状物为主,以人物的经历和事物的发展变化为主要内容的一种文体形式。下面以2023年新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ卷为例来逐条讲解写作技法。
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。
When I was in middle school,my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest.I said no without thinking.I did not love writing.My family came from Brazil,so English was only my second language.Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play,where I played all the parts.No one laughed harder than he did.
So,why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories.If you’re willing to apply yourself,I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words,I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject.Paul Revere was a silversmith(银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18,1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming.My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth.Not a brilliant idea,but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think,as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately.I got tired.I had doubts.I wanted to quit.But,like Revere’s horse,I kept going.I worked hard.I checked my spelling.I asked my older sister to correct my grammar.I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library.I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher,he read it,laughed out loud,and said,“Great.Now,write it again.” I wrote it again,and again and again.When I finally finished it,the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing.If I didn’t win,I wouldn’t care.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

技法一 阅读文本,获取有效信息
一、读懂原文,理清六要素
记叙文有六要素(五个W和一个H),即who(人物)、when(时间)、where(地点)、why(事件的起因)、what(经过)和how(结果)。读后续写所提供的文本除了结果这一要素之外,把其余五个要素叙述得清清楚楚。因此阅读文本时要紧扣这五个要素。
读(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ)文本,得出六要素为:
文本6要素(5W+1H) 文本内容
Who(人物) my social studies teacher and I
When(时间) when I was in middle school
Where(地点) in my school
What(事件) My social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest.
Why(起因) Encouraged by his words,I agreed to give it a try.
How(结果) 续写中介绍
二、细读原文,找出双线
故事类记叙文有两条线索,一是情节(plot)线,二是情感(feeling)线。通常情况下,随着情节的发展,人物的情感会产生变化。所以,对情节的整体把握就离不开对人物情感发展的分析。两条线索既相对独立又相互交融,所以,在梳理时,可以将两条线索互相参照,互相贯通。
按照情节发展的顺序,同时提取表示情感的词汇、句型及表达,进而获取情感的发展方向。特别关注情节发展的高潮,也是情感的最大变化。这是记叙文的核心,往往也是最大冲突的爆发点和续写的基础。
读(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ卷)文本,理出文章的情节线和情感线如下:
1.情节线:拒绝参赛→尝试参加→以马的口吻写作→想放弃→继续坚持→不在乎是否能获奖
2.情感线:自我否定→自我尝试→自我创新→自我怀疑→自我坚持→自我突破
可以清晰地在“情节山”上展示出来:
三、确定主题,写出主题升华句
读(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ卷)文本知本文的主题为“人与自我:个人成长”。概括文本大意知:本不喜欢写作的作者在老师的鼓励下,通过自己的努力,不但尝试参加了写作比赛,而且通过自己的坚持不懈完成了参赛作品,实现了自我突破。由此我们可以推断出,作者写这篇文章的意图是表达对老师的感激:感激老师的鼓励和让他意识到“心之所愿,无所不成”。所以续写部分应该是作品获奖和感恩老师。遵循正能量原则,写出本文的结尾升华句。
1.从感恩老师和老师的鼓励的角度来写
(1)No more words could convey my gratitude to him.It was he who made me realize nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
(2)Since then,my teacher’s encouraging words,just like a lighthouse in the mist,would always be lighting in the sky of my life.
(3)Then he pointed that my passion,devotion and persistence contributed to my success.“Just like the horse you wrote,he got tired and had doubts,but he kept going.”
(4)I benefit a lot from my loved teacher.His painstaking care and encouragement will influence my whole life.
(5)After that,his words have echoed in my ears for many years,and every time I start writing,I will think of my teacher.He taught me how to believe in myself and guided me towards a bright future.
2.从个人努力的角度来写
(1)From then on,not only did I have a good command of writing,but I also knew the truth—fear never builds the future,but hope does.
(2)Only then did I realize that it was bravery and determination that can conquer all the difficulties.Hard work paid off eventually.
四、研判故事的语言风格和语言特色
阅读文本时,要留意文章使用的主体时态(tense),还要注意文章使用的句式结构,如三大从句、非谓语动词、强调句型、倒装句式、虚拟语气等,并画线标出,以使续写的内容在语言色彩和行文风格上与所给文章保持一致。
读(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ卷)文本知本文的主体时态是一般过去时,续写部分也应该继续使用该时态。文本中运用了以下丰富的句式:
1.When I was in middle school,my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest.I said no without thinking.(时间状语从句;非谓语动词)
2.Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play,where I played all the parts.No one laughed harder than he did.(动名词作主语;结果状语从句;定语从句;“否定词+比较级”表示最高级)
3.So,why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail?(定语从句)
4.Encouraged by his words,I agreed to give it a try.(过去分词短语作状语)
5.If I didn’t win,I wouldn’t care.(虚拟语气)
由以上句子可知,文本中分词作状语、状语从句、虚拟语气等句式的综合运用使得语言具有一定的丰富性,配合着短句,形成了长短句结合的节奏感。除了这些句式以外,文章还通过对主人公动作链的描写以及心理描写等丰富了细节,刻画了主人公在情感上对待英语写作的转变。续写部分的文风也要延续这些才行。
技法二 利用信息,预测后续情节
一、根据首句,构建情节框架
对所给文本后面的故事情节及故事结尾的推断是写好读后续写的前提。高考所给的读后续写是半开放性的,这种形式既可以让人充分发挥想象力,又能让人有章可循。可以根据下表中的口诀来确定每段要写的内容:
两段首句定一框 即根据两段所给首句来确定第一段的框架 二框二首正能量 即第二段的框架由第二段的首句和正能量结尾来确定
根据(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ卷)的第一段所给首句“A few weeks later,when I almost forgot the contest,there came the news.”再结合第二段首句“I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation.”,使用“两段首句定一框”策略,可以推断出续写的第一段应侧重介绍消息的内容,再加上“我”听到消息后的反应(所听、所思等)以及领奖的情景(所见、所听、所思、所做等)。
根据第二段首句与正能量的结尾即“二框二首正能量”策略,确定第二段应侧重介绍“我”与老师在办公室里发生的事(所说、所做等),以及“我”对英语写作态度的转变(所悟),与前文“我”并不喜欢英语写作形成呼应,最后再点题,表明“我”对老师由衷的感激之情。
二、根据首句,写出衔接句
续写的几个衔接句即第一段的第二句,第一段的最后一句和第二段的第二句都是得分要点,如图所示:
升华句前面已经写出来了,下面是几个衔接句。
1.第一段的第二句:第一段所给首句是A few weeks later,when I almost forgot the contest,there came the news.(几个星期后,当我几乎忘记比赛的时候,传来了消息。)所以接着要写消息的内容,此消息一定和获奖、颁奖有关,再根据续写情感要积极(positive)的原则,应该是获得非常好的奖项,传播此消息的方式可以多样,如电话告知、同学告知、老师宣布等都可以,也可以不提,直接写消息的内容即可。
(1)It was exciting to learn that I had gained first prize and an award ceremony would be held in three days.
(2)I received a phone call,and it was from the organization that said I had won the grand prize.
(3)“You won first prize in the writing contest,” one of my classmates rushed to my desk.
(4)The moment I saw my name on the top of the first prize list,surprise and joy occupied my mind.
(5)When my teacher walked into the classroom,a shining bright smile was on his face.He had just announced I won first place in the writing contest when everyone surprised in disbelief firstly but then gave me thunderous applause.
2.第一段的最后一句:因为第二段的第一句说领奖后“我”去了老师的办公室,所以第一段的最后一句要含有颁奖并提到老师。
(1)When the award presentation finished,I felt a mixture of feelings.I wanted to say something to my teacher.
(2)With the trophy in one hand and award certificate in the other hand,I threw my eyes at my teacher,who gave me a thumbs up,with his eyes twinkling with pleasure and pride.It was at that moment that I was overwhelmed with gratitude to my teacher.
(3)I explained why I chose this special subject and even acted out one role play as Revere’s horse on the stage,which made the audience laugh out.In the end,I showed my gratitude to the horse rider—my social studies teacher.
(4)Everything went smoothly and I was surrounded by flowers and applause.However,the person with whom I desired to share my joy was my teacher.
(5)Patiently and confidently,I told the audience how I once didn’t love writing and now enjoyed writing and how I realized the value of perseverance with the help of my teacher.
3.第二段的第二句:第二段所给首句是I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation.(颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。)所以接着应该写“我”到办公室后的所见、所说与所做。也可以写“我”走进办公室老师见到“我”的反应。
(1)“Thank you very much!” I showed my certificate to him with my eyes watering,“Without you,I couldn’t have done it.”
(2)Bathed in the enjoyment,he waved at me and expressed his congratulations.
(3)The teacher walked towards me excitedly and gave me a big hug,saying,“Congratulations,boy,and have a seat.”
技法三 大胆设问,构思续写细节
以上步骤仅仅定出了写作框架,在构思时,还要进行情节扩充,让续写有血有肉。建议大家写“五所”,即所见(环境描写/人物描写/神态描写)、所闻(语言描写)、所说(语言描写)、所思(心理描写)、所做(动作描写),并对此进行设问,可以有效地丰富续写的主要情节。如:
读(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ卷)文本,我们可以对两段内容进行如下设问:
第一段:A few weeks later,when I almost forgot the contest,there came the news.
1.How did I get the news
2.What was the news
3.How did I and others feel about the news
4.What did the people around do when hearing the news
5.What did I do then
第二段:I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation.
1.What was the teacher doing when I entered the teacher’s office
2.What did I say to the teacher
3.How did the teacher feel when hearing my words
4.What did he do and say then
5.How did I feel when hearing the teacher’s words
把以上设问的答案组合起来,再增加一些衔接过渡句,就得到了续写的两段内容。尝试完成续写。
A few weeks later,when I almost forgot the contest,there came the news._______

技法四 遣词造句,精细打磨语言
读后续写对语言综合运用能力要求更高。要增添“读后续写”的表达效果,不仅要有词汇量的积累,还要注意避免使用泛泛而谈的词汇,应该多使用具体的词汇使表达更加准确到位。 只有准确、连续的动作和夸张丰富的表情以及细致的心理活动描写,才能让人物栩栩如生!
一、善用动作链
在读后续写的写作过程中,成功的动作描写可以交代人物的身份、地位,可以反映人物心理活动的进程,也可以表现人物的性格特征。人物的动作或简单或复杂,都不是一下子就能完成的,细心观察才能捕捉到最能体现人物特征的慢镜头。因此,在描写动作时,要学会细化动作,把动作过程分解成一连串细微的动作,形成动作链,写出动作的连贯性,这样才能使描写具有画面感,使人物更立体。动作链有以下结构形式:
·动作A+B+and+C ·句子+ ing ·句子+having done ·句子+ ed ·句子谓语连动+ ing
He stopped the taxi,jumped in with the suitcase and told the driver,“Go to the police station,please.”他拦下了出租车,拿着箱子跳进车里,然后对司机说:“请到警察局去。”
The boys rushed to the lake,took off their clothes and jumped into the water.男孩们冲到湖边,脱下衣服跳进水里。
The singer glanced at the audience,took a deep breath and began to sing.歌手瞥了一眼观众,深吸了一口气,开始唱歌。
She would get off the car excitedly,laughing and dancing around.她会兴奋地下车,又笑又跳。
The old man sat under the sunset,reading the newspaper and listening to the radio.老人坐在夕阳下,看着报纸,听着收音机。
Having queued for 3 hours,he was told that the ticket had been sold out.排了3个小时的队后,他被告知票已经卖完了。
Deeply moved by the story,the children began to cry.孩子们被这个故事深深感动了,哭了起来。
Poppy trotted to him and got up on his back legs,trying to lick his old friend.小狗波比小跑到他跟前,站立起来,要舔他的老朋友。
Tony rushed to Rose and threw his arms around her tightly without hesitation,wiping tears from her cheeks.托尼毫不犹豫地冲向罗斯,紧紧地抱住她,帮她擦去脸颊上的泪水。
二、会用高级句式
1.形容词(短语)作状语
形容词(短语)在句中作状语,可以表明主语所处的状态。如:
Lost in the mountain for two days,these students were finally rescued by the local police.这些学生在山里迷路两天后最终被当地警察救了出来。
Speechless and happy,she held her son tightly into her arms,with tears welling up in her eyes.她高兴得说不出话来,紧紧地抱着她的儿子,热泪盈眶。
2.非谓语动词
巧妙地使用非谓语动词可以使句型更多样化,使文章结构更加紧凑,使文章所表达的含义更加简明。如:
Exposed to the truth,I hugged dad in my arms tightly.真相大白后,我紧紧地拥抱了爸爸。
I lowered my head with embarrassment,standing there like a fool.我尴尬地低下头,像个傻瓜一样站在那里。
Wild with joy,she jumped up,grabbing the blouse and flourishing it while crying.她高兴得跳了起来,一把抓住衬衫,把它拿在手里挥舞着,哭了起来。
She made a final effort to cry for some help.Nevertheless,no one would come to save her.Jane walked along the stream,with fear gradually beating her bravery.她做了最后的努力,大声呼救。然而,没有人会来救她。简沿着小溪走着,恐惧渐渐打败了她的勇气。
3.with复合结构
with复合结构可以丰富句子的内容,其作用一般相当于一个状语从句,可以表示原因、条件、伴随、结果、方式等。如:
(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ)There was nobody inside.I slipped in and gingerly set the trophy on my teacher’s desk with a note attached,saying,“It’s a glory for both of us!Your inspiration seems a beacon guiding my way ahead.” 里面没有人。我溜进去,小心翼翼地把奖杯放在老师的桌子上,并附上一张纸条,上面写着:“这是我们俩的荣耀!你的鼓舞就像指引我前进的灯塔。”
(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ)“Thank you very much!” I showed my certificate to him with my eyes watering.“Without you,I couldn’t have done it.” “非常感谢你!”我把我的证书给他看,眼里流着泪,“没有你,我不可能做到。”
(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ)On hearing of the unexpected news,she was so surprised that she froze with her mouth wide open.听到这个意外的消息,她惊讶得目瞪口呆。
(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ)With tears in my eyes I said to him,“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for your timely help.”我含着眼泪对他说:“我要向您表示衷心的感谢,感谢您的及时帮助。”
4.独立主格结构
独立主格结构的构成为“名词/代词+现在分词/过去分词/不定式/形容词/介词短语”,其作用相当于一个状语从句。如:
I embraced my father without a word,tears streaming.我默默拥抱着父亲,泪流满面。
She thought of Tom,memories flooding out as she closed her eyes and recalled the kindness of him.她想起了汤姆,当她闭上眼睛,回忆起他的友善,往事涌上心头。
My heart pumping wildly and my blood pulsing through my veins,I pulled back the reins,distracted the horse and tried every means to stop the horse but in vain.我的心在狂跳,血液在静脉中跳动,我拉住缰绳,转移马的注意力,用尽一切办法想让马停下来,但都是徒劳。
The boy rushed to the old man’s house,his face covered with sweat.男孩冲到老人家里,满脸是汗。
5.复合句
常用的复合句有定语从句、名词性从句和状语从句。如:
(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ)I firstly expressed my gratitude to my loved teacher and said,“What you said gave me a great deal of encouragement,which inspired my motivation to writing.I wouldn’t have succeeded without your help.” 我首先对我敬爱的老师表示感谢,并说:“您说的话给了我很大的鼓励,激发了我写作的动力。没有您的帮助,我不可能取得成功。”
Eagerly,the twins gazed at their mother,whose eyes were filled with tears of thrill.双胞胎热切地注视着妈妈,她的眼里充满激动的泪水。
That’s why Anna was surprised the following day when Bobby had made several ads.这就是第二天鲍比做了几个广告时安娜感到惊讶的原因。
Cold and tired though we were,the kids’ smiling faces cheered us up.虽然我们又冷又累,但孩子们的笑脸使我们振奋起来。
6.倒装句型
为了突出或强调句子中的某个部分,我们可以将其置于句首,形成倒装结构。如:
Hearing the dog barking fiercely,away fled the thief.听到狗凶猛的叫声,小偷逃走了。
Not only did we lose all our money,but we also lost our way/but also we lost our way.我们不仅丢了所有的钱,还迷了路。
Only when you find peace in your heart will you keep good relationships with others.只有当你找到内心的平静时,你才能跟别人保持良好的关系。
Never had Jane missed Tom so much.Even a quarrel would be sweet now.简从来没有这么想念过汤姆。现在即使是争吵也会是甜蜜的。
So tightly did he draw the wolf’s neck against his shoulders that the animal could scarcely breathe and tried in vain to use its teeth.他把狼的脖子紧紧地拉在肩上,以至于狼几乎无法呼吸,让它的牙齿也无法派上用场。
7.强调句型
强调句型的基本结构为“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他部分”。如:
Martin realized it was not about the quantity of friends but the quality that mattered.马丁意识到重要的不是朋友的数量,而是质量。
(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ)It was at that moment that I was overwhelmed with gratitude to my teacher.就在那一刻,我对老师充满了感激之情。
It was not until then that I came to realize that we should always be honest.直到那时我才意识到我们应该永远诚实。
8.虚拟语气
在表示虚假的、与事实相反的或难以实现的情况时用虚拟语气;表示主观愿望或某种强烈情感时,也用虚拟语气。如:
If there hadn’t been your help,the boy would have failed in the test.
要是没有你的帮助,这个男孩就会在测试中不及格。
But for this experience,she wouldn’t have realized that she should spend more time with her family.
如果没有这次经历,她就不会意识到她应该花更多的时间和家人在一起。
If only I had not made such a stupid mistake.
要是我过去没有犯这样一个愚蠢的错误就好了。
It’s high time that we focused/should focus our attention on our study.
该是我们把注意力集中在学习上的时候了。
(2023·新课标Ⅰ、Ⅱ)Without his encouragement,I couldn’t have won the prize.要是没有他的鼓励,我不可能获奖。
9.“无灵主语”句
“无灵主语”简单理解就是“没有生命”的东西作主语,比如时间、地点、自然现象等。比如My love goes to everybody.中love就是没有生命力的名词,但是go就是有生命力的动词。
“无灵主语”的应用大致分为五大类:
第一类:主语是表示情感状态的抽象名词
这类名词有fear(恐惧),excitement(兴奋)等。与之对应的动词有seize(突然侵袭,突然控制),choke(使哽咽),flood(使大受感动,充满),creep(不知不觉地产生),grip(使感兴趣,对……产生强有力的影响),give way to(被……代替)等。

第二类:主语是表示时间和地点的名词
这类名词有the town(镇),the following year(第二年)等。与之对应的动词有witness(见证),see,boast(有引以为荣的事物)等。

The following year saw the death of his mother.
第二年他的妈妈去世了。
The town boasts a beautiful lake.
这座小镇引以为荣的是有一片美丽的湖。
第三类:主语是表示自然现象的名词

卡塔琳娜非常兴奋,她点了点头,开始帮助那位天文学家。
三、巧用修辞手法
无论是在汉语还是在英语中,修辞都是一门具有独特魅力的艺术。在读后续写中,恰当地运用修辞手法可以使平淡的语言变得鲜活、生动,从而增强文章的表现力,也有助于获得高分。较为常用的修辞手法有比喻和拟人两种。
1.比喻
比喻是根据事物之间的相似点,把某一事物比作另一事物,从而把抽象的事物说得具体、形象,把深奥的道理说得通俗、浅显、明白。常见的比喻形式有明喻和暗喻两种。
(1)明喻通常是把被比喻的“本体”和用以比喻的“喻体”同时说出,说明本体事物像喻体事物。它是最简单、最常见的一种修辞手法,其常见的标志词有like,as,as if,as though等。
Jenny couldn’t resist her inner joy,flying into the door like a bird.(情感描写)珍妮控制不住内心的喜悦,像小鸟一样飞进了家门。
The scenery along the journey is just like a breathtaking landscape painting.(景物描写)
沿途的风景就像一幅令人叹为观止的山水画。

Ⅱ.短文续写
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。
Molly and her husband Rex ran a used bookstore in a small town.People,mostly kids,came here to read books,sell books and buy books.The morning had been full of rain,and passers by were walking with narrow eyes under umbrellas.Molly rested both her hands on the counter and leaned(倾斜)forward to watch the world outside in the rain while Rex was busy sorting out books on the bookshelves.Rick,who sat on the floor burying himself in reading a hardback illustrated book,was the only customer in such a rainy day.Rick was a regular customer to the bookstore and he never sold a book or bought a book.He just read books.
“Can you keep this book for me?” Molly heard a shy voice and looked down to find it was little Rick that stood before the counter,holding the illustrated book and asked.
“Sure!” Molly nodded encouragingly.But the uncertainty remained on Rick’s face.“I’ll be back really soon.Promise.Tomorrow if I can.” Molly nodded to him as seriously as she was treating an adult.Molly wanted to ask him if there was anything difficult,but she kept silent.Anyway,she put the illustrated book in a drawer in case anyone else would take it.Most of the secondhand books in her store were unique.If it was sold,she would fail to keep her promise.
Rick didn’t return the following day,or the day after that.Molly was somehow disappointed.Rex suggested placing the illustrated book on the bookshelf so that others could read it or take it.In Rex’s opinion,children made promises all the time and they promised all kinds of things.When they came to a store and was attracted by something,they promised to come back and they asked the shopkeeper not to let anyone else take the things they wanted away.It happened all the time.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
But Molly insisted that they should wait and keep the book.____________________

一、个人成长
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。
My dad believed in responsibility! Independence! New experiences! He often used his fascinating stories of his youth to urge us children to fresh achievements.
One day he came home from work early and saw me watching a local TV show—Talent Sprouts,a daily contest for kids fourteen and under.Four performances filled the half hour from 5:00 to 5:30.You might watch anything from a violin solo to a magic show.At the end the performers were spotlighted,and KMTV’s judges named a winner.
It didn’t take Daddy long to look me in the eye.“You should go on Talent Sprouts.You can play ‘Ave Maria’.Think of it—an unforgettable experience to be on TV as an eleven year old!” Before I argued,he had been already off on his story of the hilarious(滑稽的) glory of his performance.Thus,though I didn’t want to,I agreed.Actually,I did know Schubert’s “Ave Maria”,a very easy version that used two hands to simplify those famous arpeggios(琶音).I did have it memorized.
The next morning,I mailed my application with the required information.I had almost forgotten about it when the notice came for an audition time on a Saturday afternoon.Daddy said part of being independent and responsible was to go by myself.The bus went right by the KMTV studios.
So that Saturday I checked in at the desk and sat down to wait.I was soon called.The host of Talent Sprouts,Lew Jeffrey,and the musical director,Warren Rudd described the routine for the participants and told me I could begin to play my piano piece.
Into the eighth measure(小节) I noticed Warren Rudd nod to Lew Jeffrey.That gave me confidence,and I relaxed.Daddy was over the moon when I told him I had been assigned a day to perform less than two weeks away.Still,I had very little confidence in my talent.I knew I had an easy arrangement.I could never have played Schubert’s original.

One morning this summer holiday,I was running on the road when I saw an elderly foreign lady waving her phone at me,speaking to me in a foreign language.Obviously,she didn’t speak English at all.When I listened to her more carefully,I found she was speaking German.She was clearly lost and trying to walk to the house where she lived.She showed me screen shots of maps on her phone as if she wanted me to help her find her way home.Actually,I learned some German in my spare time because our school will have German classes the next term.However,I was so poor at it that it was almost useless in practice.
I studied nearby and I knew my classmate,Lisa,who was good at speaking German.So I decided to telephone her.“Hi,Lisa.I came across a German lady.Do you have time to come and act as a translator now?” I said and then sent her my location.Unfortunately,Lisa answered,“Sorry,Belle.I’m shopping now.I can reach your place in about half an hour.” Hearing that,I had to tell her that I could manage myself.
Suddenly,an idea flashed through my mind.I downloaded a translation app and used the voice function to translate what the lady said into English.Just in this way,I learned that she came here to visit her daughter who was new to the city to teach.And I also determined the address she needed to get to.It was not far from here to her house,so I offered to walk with her to her destination.She was greatly grateful to me and kept saying sorry for taking my time.
When we got to the house,her daughter just came back.She was as touched by my kindness as her mother.I kept reminding her that it was no trouble for me,and that I only intended to make sure her mother got there safely.
Walking with the lady was more rewarding than running alone.Despite having to rely on technology to communicate due to the language barrier,I felt lucky to have been able to help her.When I left,I couldn’t wait to share the wonderful experience with Lisa.

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 Right Thing
My mother worked as a housekeeper and she was often given used toys as well as many other goodies by her clients.My elder sister and I always loved sharing the recycled books and board games brought home by my beloved mom,which we considered great gifts life presented us.
The long awaited Christmas finally approached.One December day,an old model toy car arrived in the load of goods.It was as long as my forearm and took both hands to lift.My sister didn’t want it,so it was all mine.I immediately set about to wiping it clean and polishing it to a bright candy apple red.It turned to be a thing of beauty,and I became overjoyed at possessing it.My elder sister was amazed at the newly polished,refreshing toy car,with a hint of regret and envy in her eyes.
As was planned,our relatives from France came to visit us that Christmas.It was a time when the family bond got strengthened.I shared the prized toy car with Alex,my young French cousin.Eyes glued to it,he fell in love with the wonderful,shiny red automobile the instant he saw it.It was a rare moment to see him feeling so relieved and happy.He’d been unlucky so far in life,suffering severe,life threatening illnesses as a child,leaving him mentally and physically stuck and the family starved of cash.Of course,such lovely toys like my dear model car were unreachable dreams for him.
Seeing Alex’s consuming thrill brought by the red car,I was seized by immense joy as well.But contrary to Alex’s excitement,a voice inside me constantly reminded,“Watch out! He’d keep it for himself.”,which got me faintly worried.I followed my cousin for fear of something.
My mother also noticed Alex’s fondness for the car.Approaching me,she asked gently in a low voice,“Would you like to give it to Alex?”

With the start of new school,freshmen of Hendersonville High School in Nashville were excited to meet new classmates and teachers.Among them,however,15 year old Sergio Peralta was feeling very nervous because his right hand had never fully formed since he was born.Going to a new school and being “different” is always scary.Sergio was particularly concerned with what his classmates would think of him.
Sergio’s parents had trained him to use his left hand from an early age.As he grew up,he was used to not using his right hand.He could write with his left one and do some things with special tricks or techniques.Despite this,in the first days of new school,Sergio always felt like hiding his underdeveloped right hand in his sleeve as if nobody would ever find out if he did so.
It didn’t take long for someone to learn Sergio’s secret.Jeff Wilkins,the teacher of Sergio’s engineering class,figured out that Sergio was missing part of his hand and decided to do something for the new student.Jeff had been leading a robotics project in the school and expert in 3D printing technology.Besides,he hoped to take advantage of this hands on chance to help his students learn more about engineering and how building a robotic hand worked.
So in his class,Jeff announced with great enthusiasm,“You’re supposed to be engineering,coming up with new ideas and solving issues.Now Sergio needs a new hand,so we’ll work together to build Sergio a robotic hand.” His words fueled everyone’s curiosity and creativity.
For the next four weeks,Jeff and his class including Sergio worked on the project.After some precise measurements and researches,the class put forward a design draft.Jeff made a few adjustments and gave them some practical suggestions.With access to online models and a 3D printer,they eventually created a robotic hand,which was intended to look good and work well,like catching something.

五、邻里关系

Next to our house lived an old couple,who,accustomed to country life,were unwilling to move to the city to live with their son and stuck in a lonely existence for many years.It seemed that they didn’t feel like making any new connections with others,including their next door neighbours.
The neighbourhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose.Rumor(流言,传言) was that they sat inside and drank tea all day.The only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!” The rosebushes crawled along the fence.Or rather,they served as a fence between our house and theirs,overgrowing the support.
I was eleven at the time and the oldest of our family girls.A suitable playing court was a headache problem for us when we felt like playing softball games,which was our favourite sport then.We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses,but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose.
One day,we had a softball game in our yard.Mary was trying to catch a fly ball.She stumbled(绊倒) over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more.Just at that moment,Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary.She screamed angrily,“Look at what you’ve done to our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble.You have no idea what this rosebush means to me!”
Hearing this,my sisters and I ran into our house.Breathlessly,we told Mom what had happened.“Girls,I have told you not to play softball near those e outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom,we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested.“They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us.We followed her outside to help repair the rose fence.While Mom was examining the damaged roses,Ruby slowly walked out.She looked sad.And it wasn’t her nose that was red,but her eyes.

“She needs me.” Those were the exact words I spoke to my husband when I spotted Dottie,a little dog we found at a local shelter eight years ago.
Dottie leaned(倾斜) away when I tried to pet her and refused to let me hold her.While the other dogs jumped and barked,Dottie returned to the back of the cage,curled up in a ball,hoping us to leave her alone.
On the entire drive home,Dottie was in fear.So,upon arrival at our house,we got right to work.I held her as much as possible,touching her head and softly singing in her ear.We learned that she loved belly touch,so every time we passed by,we would offer a gentle touch.Eventually,we noticed her presenting her belly as we walked by her.I knew we were making real progress when I found her quietly sleeping on a chair one day,her head resting on one of my shoes.My heart melted(融化) as I realized she had brought it there because it contained my smell,and she wanted it nearby.
Ever so slowly,our little dog came to life.She began to play with toys,enjoy walks,and rest on our laps.There was no special treatment,no fancy food or toys.All we did was love her.And she grew well.She was so broken when we first met her that we had no idea what her true personality would be.But now we found a sweet,playful,loving soul.
One day,a few years after her adoption,I was busy doing housework around the house,doing laundry and climbing the stairs from the basement up to the main floor.When I finished,I sat down and enjoyed a well deserved break.That’s when I realized I hadn’t seen Dottie for a while.I called to her and began searching.My heart raced and my pace quickened as I began checking under beds and behind sofa.

Dear Glen,
I am Li Hua, monitor of Class 1, Senior 3. I am writing to invite you to join us to climb a mountain next Friday,which is the Double Ninth Festival.Mountain climbing serves as a traditional activity on that day.Standing on the top of the mountain,we can enjoy broader horizons.
We will gather at the school gate at 4:00 p.m.on that day.The school bus will take us to the Qingyun Mountain.Bottled water and snacks will be offered.And there are stone steps up to the mountaintop,so it won’t be so challenging and tiring.

Dear Mr Green,

The play is based on the story of Hua Mulan who,after disguising herself as a man,joined the army instead of her father in the Northern Wei Dynasty.To us,however,the adaption of such an epic is quite challenging and we don’t want anything inappropriate to spoil the play.So would you please spare some time to revise the draft script attached to this email If possible,may I pay you a visit at your office next Tuesday to give you more details
Any of your professional advice would be highly appreciated.Best wishes.
Yours truly,

World Environment Day on Campus
June 5th,2023 marked the 50th anniversary of World Environment Day,with the slogan “Beat Plastic Pollution”.In honor of this occasion,our school organized various activities to sensitize students about the urgent need to combat plastic pollution and promote sustainable practices.
The event started with an engaging presentation by environmental experts,who highlighted the detrimental impact of plastic and emphasized the importance of reducing,reusing,and recycling plastic.Then a plastic collection drive was held so as to encourage everyone to bring in their plastic waste for proper disposal.Additionally,students participated in a poster making competition,creating thought provoking artworks that showcased the importance of sustainable alternatives.
The response to these activities was overwhelming.It is through such collective efforts that we can hope to “Beat Plastic Pollution” and create a cleaner,healthier environment for future generations.

On hearing the sharp whistle,I dashed out,the wind rushing against my face and the crowd’s cheers echoing around me.My attempts to match the pace of fellow runners proved challenging,but I did not give up.I pushed myself to the limit and crossed the finishing line with all my strength.

Dear schoolmates,
Volunteering is playing a crucial role in students’ overall development.With the approach of winter vacation, it’s high time that we took up volunteering.
A willing heart to volunteer provides us with massive benefits.Volunteering not only makes us feel connected with the community but also is beneficial to our well being.Blessed with a sense of purpose in life,we are offered an amazing opportunity to learn valuable skills.There are different ways of serving people,ranging from volunteering at children’s home or libraries to virtual volunteering,such as helping pupils with schoolwork online.
Why not throw ourselves into volunteering It makes us a better person and creates a better world.
Yours sincerely,

The Person I Admire Most
When it comes to the person I admire most,I can’t help thinking of Fan Jinshi who is an archaeologist and a guard of Dunhuang.
After graduating from Peking University,Fan Jinshi chose to work in Mogao Caves,Dunhuang.Although the living environment was terrible,she was deeply attracted by the works of art and desired to protect them for the future generations.She and her team overcame difficulties,explored scientific concepts and built a “digital Dunhuang”,which has balanced the relationship between cultural relics protection and tourism.
Fan Jinshi is called the daughter of Dunhuang.She deserves the respect of all at home and abroad.

I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation.With the trophy in hand,I entered the office.My teacher rose from the seat and came up to me.“Congratulations!” he said,slapping me on the back.He grinned from ear to ear as I showed him the trophy.“I owe my success to you,” I said sincerely.“Without your encouragement and belief,I wouldn’t have succeeded.” He laughed,his eyes shining with excitement.“I knew you had it in you.I’m proud of you for not giving up.” Whenever looking back on this incident,I feel extremely grateful to him.It was my social studies teacher who encouraged me to realize my potential and thus changed the course of my life.

第4节 分类集训
一、 When my Monday came,I again took the bus to KMTV alone and waited.Everything was familiar this time.But hearing the musical sounds and applause from time to time,I felt my heart was pounding with excitement and nervousness.Eventually,it was my turn.Taking a deep breath,I calmed down.Confident,I went to the piano and began to play.Easy,so easy! Fun almost...right up to the coda at the end.I suddenly realized I should not be at the end! My heart jumped to my mouth.I had skipped a part.A huge part.How did that happen
Somehow my brain went to work and I continued playing.I tried to smile at the camera and played the rest smoothly as if no skipping had happened.After what seemed an eternity,I stopped playing.However,it turned out that my performance had probably lasted barely a minute.Surely the result was as expected—I wasn’t the winner.On my way home,I surprised myself by feeling more relieved than disappointed.I could not pretend that my performance was best.In truth,the other three were far superior.When I came back home to talk about “The Big Skip”,Daddy smiled,“It may not have been noticed by someone who doesn’t know Schubert’s ‘Ave Maria’.Your movement was smooth.You didn’t fall apart.All in all,a worthwhile experience.”
二、 No sooner had I picked up my phone than Lisa called me.“Belle,how is it going Do you still need my help?” Lisa asked.“Thanks,Lisa.Everything is OK.And I’d like to tell you about it,” I said.I told her exactly what had happened,and specifically described how I had solved the problem.Lisa praised me for my quick wit.Then I asked her to teach me German in case I needed it later.She promised.By the end of the holiday,I could have already communicated with her in some simple German words.So I was ready for the new term with confidence.
When the German teacher entered the classroom in the new term,I felt I’d seen her somewhere before.What amazed me was that she came over to me,saying,“Glad to see you again!I’m Florence.” I was surprised to find that she was the daughter of the lady that I had helped during the holiday.What a fantastic fate! As our new foreign teacher,Florence was patient and considerate.We all respected her and took every lesson seriously.I even made friends with her mother,so I had more opportunities to practise speaking German.I was resolved to visit Germany the next summer holiday.
三、 Giving or keeping I struggled with myself.Giving it Hardly could I imagine life without the model car! After all,it was my most precious treasure,which I had been proud of.My heart kept aching at the prospect of giving it away.Nope! I shook my head determinedly.Glancing at my mother’s expectant eyes,I couldn’t help sobbing.Keeping it Definitely,it would otherwise upset Alex.Torn between the two tough choices,I was totally at a loss.Nevertheless,deep down,I could feel my affection for Alex.Yep! I resolved to do the right thing.
In the moment of parting,my model car went with Alex.Though I was crushed to see it go,my heart sang when I saw his beaming face as he tightly clutched it.Seeing the thumbs up from my mother and sister,I did swell with relief,pride and joy,for I knew it was not a gift;to some extent,it was our concern and love for him.Plus,sharing the model car also strengthened our bond,which,I was fully convinced,would always uplift him.An effort made for the happiness of others lifted us above ourselves as well.
四、 Then came the final testing day.The whole class gathered in the science classroom,watching breathlessly as Jeff carefully loaded their self made robotic hand onto Sergio’s right arm.It fitted quite well! So excited was Sergio that his arm trembled slightly.Having put a baseball on the desk,Jeff signed to Sergio to pick it up.Slowly,Sergio extended his right hand and reached for the ball.Successfully he caught hold of it and everyone present broke into cheers! Holding the ball,Sergio couldn’t contain his tears.Never in his life did he expect to catch something with his right hand!
The life changing gift for Sergio drew huge attention.Jeff and his students became an instant hit and various media competed to cover the news.When interviewed about the intention of the project,Jeff said,“I intended Sergio’s robotic hand to show our support for him.Meanwhile,I hope to foster students’ scientific spirit through this hands on operation.” His students stated that Jeff challenged them to transform abstract concepts into reality,from which they benefited greatly.Soon voluntary donations poured in,which would go to the school’s scientific research and help students develop better.
五、 Ruby walked over to my mother,we girls holding our breath.We waited to see who would shout first and what terrible things would be said.“We are sorry about the flowers.The girls will fix them and help weed the roses,” said Mom.My sisters and I looked at each other in horror,but Ruby smiled through her tears.“I know we’re particular about these roses,but they’re very special because they remind me of my mother.” Soon both women were down on their knees examining the damaged bushes together.
A few weeks later,the plants all came back to life.My mother and Ruby worked together on the roses all summer and many summers to follow.So did my sisters and I.A friendship was formed between the families.Ruby became part of our family,spending many happy hours at our house,especially during countless birthdays,graduations and weddings.And the rose fence wasn’t a fence any longer.My mother had turned it into a bridge.
六、 Suddenly,I remembered the door to the basement.I dashed to the door and opened it without any hesitation.There she sat on the top step,quiet as a mouse,head down,ears hanging down.She had been following me,as she always did,and I had casually closed the door on her.So she had to wait quietly for me to find her.I don’t know whether she assumed that she was being punished,but it was clear that she was hurt,for she behaved differently this time.
I held her in my arms tightly,telling her how sorry I was.I touched her head and rubbed her belly gently,telling her that she was not making trouble.She let me hold her for exactly one minute and then suddenly ran off,returning with a toy for me to throw.At that very moment,Dottie taught me a valuable lesson:Forgive quickly because forgiveness is to light a lamp not just for others but also for ourselves.Life is short.There is so much love to offer and receive and so many toys to chase.
