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。
(2023·浙江1月卷)
I was invited to a cookout on an old friend's farm in western Washington.I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years.A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it.It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape.She was covered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings.She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in.The broken window glass was the likely answer.I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes.I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings.Still, she made no attempt to fly.Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired Or too thirsty
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move.I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away.
Hovering (悬停), she approached within six inches of my face.For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side.Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident.They promised to fix the window.As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car.I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering.She turned from person to person until she came to me.She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone.For a moment, all were speechless.Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.”
注意:续写词数应为 150 左右。
A few weeks later, I went to the farm again.
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared.
【语篇解读】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者被邀请去一个农场野餐,发现一个房子里有只蜂鸟被蜘蛛网困住了,作者把蜂鸟救了,把蜂鸟带出去的时候它迟迟不肯走,当作者走到一条布满黑莓的小路时,它开始动了,但是却不肯飞走,徘徊着,后来终于飞走了,当作者准备离开时,蜂鸟又飞到作者面前,好像是在和作者告别。
【文脉构思】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后,我又去了农场。”可知,第一段可描写作者回到农场时所看到的和所想到的。
②由第二段首句内容“我正要离开,这时蜂鸟出现了。”可知,第二段可描写蜂鸟对作者的反应以及作者的感想。
2.续写线索:想起救蜂鸟的时候——回到那个房子——想到那只蜂鸟——看见蜂鸟——蜂鸟的表现——作者的感想
【参考范文】
A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. As my car neared it my thoughts drifted back to the moment when I rescued the hummingbird from the spider's web.I rushed back to the deserted house.It was a great comfort that the original hole in the window was nowhere to be found.Leaving the house, I couldn't help wondering how it was getting on now.Had it managed to find its way back home, or was it still out there somewhere struggling to survive
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. A flash of movement caught my attention.I turned around to see the same hummingbird hovering in the air.It seemed that the bird was waiting for me, its beady eyes locked on mine as if trying to convey some deep, unspoken gratitude.I felt a surge of relief and awe at the sight of this sound and grateful creature, and I knew that I would always cherish the memories we shared as I climbed into my car and drove away.

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。
“Woof! Woof!” Emma was closing up her bookstore and the loud barking behind her frightened her so badly that she dropped her keys.She turned and found a large dog standing behind her.“Where did you come from ” Emma asked as she got back her keys.
The dog walked closer and pressed up against Emma's leg.He looked up at Emma and wagged his tail. Emma touched his ear, and her hand brushed against the collar (项圈) hidden beneath the dog's thick coat.Emma parted the dog's fur to see if there was a name tag attached to the collar.Instead, she found rows of shiny blue and yellow stones encircled the collar.“That is one fancy collar,” Emma said.“Someone must be looking for you.”
Emma glanced up and down the street, but didn't find anyone who seemed like they were looking for the dog.She asked some passers-by if they'd seen anyone, but they all shook their heads.
It seemed like she had no other choice, so Emma took the dog home with her.She ate dinner, fed the dog some of the food she'd bought on the way home, then settled onto the sofa.The dog sat beside the sofa and rested his chin on her knee.Emma looked down into his soulful eyes.“Don't worry.I'll find your owner.” She patted the dog's head.
Emma took the dog to her bookshop with her the next day.“I didn't know you had a dog.” Emma looked up at the man who'd just entered her shop.It was her regular customer Peter.
“I found him, but he's not mine,” Emma said.
“Well, I hope he won't scare away your customers.” Peter walked closer to the dog.Peter's words worried Emma.She kept a close eye on the dog, but he didn't bark at anyone.When a woman with a little kid entered the store, the dog even went over to sniff the child.

Looking at the well-behaved dog, Emma decided to do something to help find his owner.
