文 体 常 识
一、 文体特点
读后续写(continuation writing)是指在阅读一段350词以内的语言材料的基础上，根据所给的两个段落开头语，将其发展成一篇与给定材料有逻辑衔接、情节和结构完整的150词左右的短文。这种写作能够激发学生的想象力，培养创新思维能力。
读后续写的内容是否与给定材料具有逻辑上的衔接，既是高考读后续写的评分标准之一，也是读后续写写作的重点和难点。
因为故事类文本的可读性强、情节发展具有较强的逻辑性，所以故事类文本就成了读后续写这种写作题型采用的主要材料。续写部分一般分为两类：
(1) 半开放性质。必须依据文章的语境逻辑推理续写。
(2) 完全开放性质。可以依据文章的思路，自己发挥。
在进行续写时，应注意以下几个方面：
1. 两个段落开头语对续写故事的发展方向起着不同的衔接作用。
(1) 第一段的开头语主要起“承上启下”的作用，其续写内容一般受到第二段开头语的影响和制约，即第一段续写的故事发展方向应为第二段开头语。
如最初的浙江省《考试说明》样题提供的“As he was running, Arthur heard the young man shouting behind, ‘Stop, stop！’”和“The taxi stopped in front of the police station and Arthur …”这两个段落开头语。从第二段开头语可知，无论第一段续写内容如何设定，其故事发展方向必定是 Arthur 乘坐出租车去了警察局。因此，第一段续写应围绕“Arthur didn't stop but took a taxi to the police station”这一过程中的行为及其心理展开描写。
(2) 第二段开头语一般呈现时间、地点和人物等续写内容发展的基本要素，虽对情节发展产生一定影响，但是对整个故事的发展方向或结局并不起决定作用。
如《考试说明》样题提供的第二段开头语“The taxi stopped in front of the police station and Arthur … ”，该句仅呈现了地点(in front of the police station)和人物(Arthur)，对该段续写内容的发展没有任何线索暗示或方向提示。
由此可见，第二段开头语对续写情节的发展不具备限制性，其发展方向具有不确定性。
2. 在读后续写所提供的材料中，往往存在暗示续写情节方向的信息词，如果不仔细阅读原文，很容易被忽视。暗示续写方向的信息词主要有以下三类：
(1) 对材料进行概括或定性的形容词或副词。
如《考试说明》样题材料的首句就出现了“A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day.”，显然该句对全文故事具有极高的概括性，且把 Arthur 当天的经历定性为funny，该形容词对续写情节的发展具有决定性影响。
(2) 助推情节发展的连词。
读后续写的思维主要有聚合和发散两种，其情节发展主要依赖连词的助推。如《考试说明》样题材料的第二段段落开头语“The taxi stopped in front of the police station and Arthur … ”中出现了and一词，则发展方向应为Arthur 进入了警察局。但若句中and改为but，则续写方向应考虑 Arthur 没有进入警察局。
(3) 表示人物态度或决定的副词。
人物的心理状态对其行为具有较大的影响，因此所提供的材料中出现的人物态度或决定应引起关注。如《考试说明》样题材料结尾出现了“He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run.”，显然frightened一词暗示 Arthur 当时心里极为害怕，且心中只有离开现场的念头。因此，续写第一段的方向应为“As he was running, Arthur heard the young man shouting behind, ‘Stop, stop！’ But Arthur kept running.”
3. 遵循故事人物既定性格非常重要。
心理学认为，个性是决定人的独特行为和思想的个人内部的身心系统的动力组织，而人的行为是其个性在某场景中的体现。因此，续写情节发展是否与所提供的材料具有逻辑性的评判视角应为续写中的人物行为是否符合所读材料中人物的既定性格。
续写过程中可以按“阅读材料分析人物行为→概括人物性格→预设续写中的人物行为”的思维模式确定较为合理的续写情节发展方向。如通过对《考试说明》样题的人物Arthur 的行为进行分析可知，Arthur 具备“善良、乐于助人但是胆小”等特点，由此可判断故事发展方向是 Arthur 走进警察局报告发生的一切。

实 践 运 用
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 eleven years old, I had a big accident. I get scared even now when I think about that time. I went skating near my house. There were many people, and I saw some of them falling on the ice.
It was my first time to go ice skating, so I was nervous. I was wondering how to skate.
I went with a friend who was very skilful. He spent some time teaching me how to skate, but I didn't learn much. He left me and skated all around. As soon as he left, I fell down. I envied the other people because they could skate well. I was bored because I kept falling, so I took off my skates and just walked around on the ice in my shoes. It was cold and my feet were frozen.
Suddenly, I stepped on something that was not hard. What was it It was a weak place in the ice. When I stepped there, I sank under the ice. I thought that I was going to die, but I did my best to grab something to get out from under the ice. I tried to grab the edge of the ice, but it was very difficult for a child.
It seemed like a very long time, like a year. Then, fortunately, someone helped me. He grabbed my arms and pulled me up. So, I lived and I'm still alive today. I thanked him. At that time, my friend came back. I was annoyed at him because he was supposed to take care of me, but he didn't. He was embarrassed. When I took a taxi home, the taxi driver was surprised and asked what had happened. I didn't want to say anything because I was tired and scared. Even now, whenever I think about that time, I feel uncomfortable. I don't want to go skating again even now.

It_was_long_before_I_went_skating_once_again,_accompanied by one of my roommates. This time I was careful and cautious. Step by step, I was able to stand up on the ice myself and headed out a little, not so steadily and I fell down many times. She was very skilful and patiently explained to me how to start, turn, pause and stop. Gradually I learnt to skate well and became skilful. I felt very confident and no longer scared.
However,_ever_since_then_I_haven't_found_any_time_to_go_skating,_not because I do not like skating, but because I am too busy working. I've learnt a lot from these two skating experiences. We all have moments of desperation. But if we can face them bravely, that's when we find out how strong we really are. Whatever we do, we must have the patience to do it as well as the skill. Remember: never get too much pride because of victory or lose heart in the case of failure.
