第八讲读后续写下--实践运用
3.05 读后续写语篇整合“三环四步”
读后续写的过程中,考生要抓住一篇记叙文的脉络要点,通常可从记叙文六要素着手,即:时间、地点、人物、事情的起因、经过、结果,也就是when,where,who,what,why,how。这样可以了解故事的梗概,对文本的脉络走向有个基本定位。通常情况下,前面4个要素已经浮出水面,事情正处于发展中,悬念已经浮现。学生需要找出阅读文本中的悬念,并根据悬念发挥合理想象,顺应原文的情节发展进行预测,解开悬念,创作一个意料之外又情理之中的结局。
此外,考生也要分析原文语言表达方面的显著特征,观察有无直接引语、各类从句、特殊句型、非谓语动词等。通过模仿和创造,尽量提高与原文的协同,力求在各个语言层次(关键词、短语和句型等)的表达风格上和原文保持一致。在续写时要注意词汇的不同时态搭配、用词的新颖和变换及语气的强弱,避免过于口语化的词汇。
英语语法在读后续写中有着非常重要的作用。丰富准确的结构、句式对于读后续写起着重要的保障。学生可以整理提炼读后续写常用的语法结构,如分词做壮语,独立主格,倒装句,强调句型,which引导的非限制性定语从句,虚拟语气等,在平时写作中要有意识地加以应用,使得句式更丰富。
由于读后续写中大量涉及动作,尤其是肢体动作、情感及环境风景等的描写,平时要注意积累这方面的词汇和表达。例如哭这个动作,tears well up in one’s eyes,burst into tears都比cry形象生动得多。此外,阅读一些名著的简写本或当代小说,摘录其中的相关句子加以背诵或者背诵一些美文佳句,运用在续写中,可以起到画龙点睛的作用(之后会分不同专题详细讲解)。
读后续写的“三环四步”整合路径
例文:
(改编自2020年7月浙江卷高考英语试题)阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
One fall,my wife Elli and I had a single goal: to photograph polar bears. We were staying at a research camp outside“ the polar bear capital of the world”—the town of Churchill in Manitoba,Canada.
Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous. Polar bears—like all wild animals—should be photographed from a safe distance. When Im face to face with a polar bear,I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens. But sometimes,that is easier said than done. This was one of those times.
As Elli and I cooked dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed,and smelled our garlic bread.
The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp,which was surrounded by a high wire fence. He pulled and bit the wire. He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.
Terrified,Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew. We yelled at the bear,hit pots hard,and fired blank shotgun shells into the air. Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off. Not this polar bear though—he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子).
I radioed the camp manager for help. He told me a helicopter was on its way,but it would be
