Ⅲ 读后续写
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。
Danger at Scituate Lighthouse
Rebecca stood by her father, looking out the windows of Scituate Lighthouse. Low sand dunes (沙丘) with sea grass topped the Massachusetts beach. There were no clouds in the sky—nothing at all to give warning of the danger that was sailing toward them.
“Now, Rebecca,” Mr Bates began, gazing out across the open sea, “I want you and Abigail to help your mother and take care of things while I go to town for food and supplies. I won't be gone long.”
“We'll help,” Rebecca promised.
“I know I can count on you.”
Still, Mr Bates looked a little worried about leaving the lighthouse. After all, peace between the US and the UK had not yet been declared, even though the War of 1812 was nearly over. Although English warships used to frequently attack towns along the coast—including Scituate—no English soldiers had been sighted for a long time. Besides, Rebecca thought as she watched her father set off, the family would soon starve if he didn't go for food.
Her father hadn't been gone long when Rebecca happened to look out the window at the ocean. What she saw nearly made her heart stop. It was an enemy ship: a small, light gunned British warship. Calling for her mother, she grabbed her father's telescope and could just make out the name painted on the side: La Hogue.
Rebecca, Abigail, and their mother stood together, frightened, as they watched the ship sail closer. Mother told the girls to watch the ship while she tried to sound the alarm and warn the home guard in the nearby village. The girls watched helplessly as the great ship drew near. Two small boats were lowered off the side, and Rebecca knew the boats would come ashore quickly.
It was time to run. As they ran down the lighthouse stairs, Rebecca suddenly stopped when she saw her fife (横笛). Oh my fife! She thought. It just might work ... Rebecca grabbed the fife and the drum (鼓) that Abigail had been learning to play.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it. The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be coming from the confident American soldiers.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。父亲要进城采购食材,临走前很担心Rebecca (丽贝卡)和Abigail (阿比盖尔)的安全。果然,英国的战舰出现在了大海上,Rebecca急中生智,她会和妹妹做些什么呢?她们能安全脱险吗?
[精彩范文]
She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it. They hid themselves among the bushes. Peering through the trees, they saw the boats coming closer and closer. Taking a deep breath, Rebecca held her sister's trembling hand and handed her the drum. “We've got to play ‘Yankee Doodle’. You know the home guard always marches to a drum and fife. Let's make the British soldiers believe our troops are coming to fight.” Abigail nodded. Her face was white, but she gripped her drumsticks firmly. The lively rhythm of “Yankee Doodle” soon filled the air.
The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be coming from the confident American soldiers. They hesitated and slowed down the boats. The captain listened tensely, fearing that if his men landed on the beach, they would be walking into a trap, so he fired as a retreat signal. The sailors quickly turned the rowboats around. When the home guard arrived, they were amazed to find the La Hogue had already set sail. They congratulated Rebecca on her quick thinking for tricking the British into leaving. Rebecca and Abigail's bravery and lively music had defeated the enemy ... without a single shot having been fired.

Ⅲ 读后续写

Danger at Scituate Lighthouse
Rebecca stood by her father, looking out the windows of Scituate Lighthouse. Low sand dunes (沙丘) with sea grass topped the Massachusetts beach. There were no clouds in the sky—nothing at all to give warning of the danger that was sailing toward them.
“Now, Rebecca,” Mr Bates began, gazing out across the open sea, “I want you and Abigail to help your mother and take care of things while I go to town for food and supplies. I won't be gone long.”
“We'll help,” Rebecca promised.
“I know I can count on you.”
Still, Mr Bates looked a little worried about leaving the lighthouse. After all, peace between the US and the UK had not yet been declared, even though the War of 1812 was nearly over. Although English warships used to frequently attack towns along the coast—including Scituate—no English soldiers had been sighted for a long time. Besides, Rebecca thought as she watched her father set off, the family would soon starve if he didn't go for food.
Her father hadn't been gone long when Rebecca happened to look out the window at the ocean. What she saw nearly made her heart stop. It was an enemy ship: a small, light gunned British warship. Calling for her mother, she grabbed her father's telescope and could just make out the name painted on the side: La Hogue.
Rebecca, Abigail, and their mother stood together, frightened, as they watched the ship sail closer. Mother told the girls to watch the ship while she tried to sound the alarm and warn the home guard in the nearby village. The girls watched helplessly as the great ship drew near. Two small boats were lowered off the side, and Rebecca knew the boats would come ashore quickly.
It was time to run. As they ran down the lighthouse stairs, Rebecca suddenly stopped when she saw her fife (横笛). Oh my fife! She thought. It just might work ... Rebecca grabbed the fife and the drum (鼓) that Abigail had been learning to play.

[精彩范文]
She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it. They hid themselves among the bushes. Peering through the trees, they saw the boats coming closer and closer. Taking a deep breath, Rebecca held her sister's trembling hand and handed her the drum. “We've got to play ‘Yankee Doodle’. You know the home guard always marches to a drum and fife. Let's make the British soldiers believe our troops are coming to fight.” Abigail nodded. Her face was white, but she gripped her drumsticks firmly. The lively rhythm of “Yankee Doodle” soon filled the air.
The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be coming from the confident American soldiers. They hesitated and slowed down the boats. The captain listened tensely, fearing that if his men landed on the beach, they would be walking into a trap, so he fired as a retreat signal. The sailors quickly turned the rowboats around. When the home guard arrived, they were amazed to find the La Hogue had already set sail. They congratulated Rebecca on her quick thinking for tricking the British into leaving. Rebecca and Abigail's bravery and lively music had defeated the enemy ... without a single shot having been fired.
