专题06 读后续写 经典题8篇(考题猜想) A (2024河南省名校联盟高三5月联考) My mum died on a cold and rainy December morning. The dark clouds and constant light rain over her Cape Cod neighbourhood fit our sadness as my brothers and sisters and I arranged with the local funeral(葬礼) home for Mum's last depart ure from her beloved house on the edge of the river. All five of us were there, having been alerted(警觉) earlier that week. As soon as we had gotten“The Call”, we had immediately flown or driven from our homes in California,Florida, Georgia and New York to the house by the river. As I joined my brothers and sisters at the house on the Cape, I felt oddly peaceful.Though I was afraid to lose my mother, I wasn't anxious about the process. I knew that Mum had prepared well for her death. All we had to do was be present for her and each other during this final stage. She had done everything else. Mum was a born teacher and a natural organizer. When she had received the diagnosis(诊断) of incurable cancer that September, she had planned her death as practically as she had planned her busy life as a wife, mother and professional. Mum did think fondly of her neighbours and friends. Even though she had declined to share her remaining time with them, she wanted to acknowledge their friendly care and express her lasting affection for them. So Mum had asked my older sister to purchase, on her behalf, a case of wine. /The small bottles were to be decorated with ribbons(缎带) and delivered by us in person, after Mum's death, to those neighbours who had been her favourite local companions. Accordingly, in the early afternoon, as the cold morning rain gave way to a watery blue sky, all five of us set out to walk through the neighbourhood together, braving the cold air.Taking turns carrying the heavy boxes, we visited every house. Together, we carried the news of her death, that final gift of beribboned bottles, and her instruction to her friends:“Please use this Champagne to toast to our friendship.” 注意： 1.续写词数应
