书面表达之读后续写

考题解读
)
读后续写是一种将阅读与写作相结合的考察形式,要求考生对所读材料进行续写,将其发展成一篇与给定材料有所衔接,情节架构自然,而且结构完整的短文(教育部考试中心,2015年)。读后续写多以记叙文故事类文章为主,而且主题多与社会,自然和自我相结合。比如2020年1月浙江真题反应了社会的人际关系。因此,做好读后续写的英语写作的前提是研究记叙文的行文规律以及了解读后续学的考察能力:
一、把握短文关键信息和语言特点的能力。
二、语言运用的准确性和丰富性。
三、对语篇结构的把控能力。
四、创造性思维能力。

解题技巧
)
(1)精读文章,确定文章线索。
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路,通过精读文章,找到该篇文章的写作线索,例如什么人(who)什么时间(when)在什么地方(where)因为什么(why)做了什么事儿(what),最后有了什么发展(how)。这样分析有利于考生“顺藤摸瓜”。
(2)仔细审题,明确续写要求。
一般短文后面的“注意”都有对此短文续写的具体要求,如字数限制、使用几处下划线关键词语、续写段落的首句提示,这样考生能做到“心中有数”。
(3)回扣原文,揣摩续写思路。
根据文章后面的要求,再次快速回读短文,抓住文章的思路,结合段首的提示语,最终确定续写段落的思路,同时结合文章划线词语提示,确定续写段落的内容。
(4)拟写草稿,修改错词病句。
在确定了思路和内容之后,最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中划线的关键词语拟写草稿。拟写时,注意句子结构的多样性、语言的丰富性,并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用,使上下文连贯。
(5)标出续写部分中使用到的原材料中标有下划线的关键词语。
这一点可以帮助考生检查关键词语的使用情况并根据情况做出修改。最后在誊写文字时,务必做到“字迹工整、清晰”。

Passage 1
【2023年新高考全国Ⅰ&II卷】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
