读后续写 心灵的蜕变：接受帮助的力量 讲义-浙江省宁波市奉化区2023-2024学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题

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。 Mitzvah is a word my grandmother often said to me since my childhood. It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. But according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently. It was three months ago, and I’d just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York. Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I’d said I could manage. Letting them help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21. As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots, making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted(编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice. “Why don’t you see if you cam find a lift(搭便车)?” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don’t know my neighbours; I feel funny asking for favours. Pride would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbours at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key. Result? An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hour journey. When I sneaked into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car. Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness(固执). 注意: 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已写好。 Paragraph1: On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. _________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 文章大意： 这篇文章讲述了主人公Linda在布鲁克林的大学生活中，如何逐渐理解并接受祖母所说的"mitzvah"（善行）的深层含义。起初，Linda因为害羞和独立自主的形象，拒绝接受别人的帮助。然而，在一次大雪中，她意识到接受别人的帮助有时也是一种善举。在期末考试那天，她鼓起勇气向邻居请求搭车，最终得到了帮助，也领悟到接受他人的善意同样重要。通过这次经历，Linda学会了放下自尊，接受社区的关爱和联系，体会到了人与人之间的温暖和互助的力量。 在原文中，有几处伏笔为续写部分提供了线索： 祖母的智慧：祖母经常对Linda说"mitzvah"，强调做好事的重要性，同时指出接受别人的帮助也是一种祝福。这是故事中的一个重要主题，为续写中Linda最终接受帮助的行为提供了铺垫。 Linda的性格：Linda被描述为一个害羞且独立的人，她不愿意让别人帮助她，这与她后来在极端天气下请求帮助形成了对比。 恶劣天气：故事中提到了大雪和严寒，这为Linda最终请求帮助提供了紧迫的情境。 邻居的存在：故事中提到了Linda的邻居，尤其是那位手里拿着车钥匙的女士，这暗示了Linda有求助的可能性。 在续写中，这些伏笔得到了回应： 祖母的智慧：在续写中，Linda在决定请求帮助时回想起了祖母的话，这显示了她对祖母智慧的理解和接受。 Linda的性格转变：Linda最终克服了她的害羞和独立性，向邻居请求帮助，这标志着她性格上的转变和成长。 恶劣天气的影响：大雪和严寒的天气在续写中继续发挥作用，成为Linda决定请求帮助的直接原因。 邻居的帮助：续写中Linda向邻居请求帮助，并得到了积极的回应，这直接回应了原文中邻居的存在和潜在的帮助。 One possible version： Paragraph 1: On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. For an hour, I stretched my neck, praying desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home, and I prayed, “how can I get to school? What should I do?” As I palled Grandma’s scarf more tightly around my mock, again I seemed to hear that whisper. Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah. That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, which I did not, there wasn’t a soul on the street. Paragraph 2: As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. She was going out with a set of keys in her hand. In that split second, desperation overcame pride. I blurted, “Could you possibly give me a lift?” I hurriedly explained, “I’ve been waiting for the bus for ages, and I don’t want to miss my final exam.” Her expression softened with understanding, “Of course, I’ll give you a lift.” Heaving a sigh of relief, I couldn’t help but marvel at how a simple act of asking for help had changed everything, It was at that moment that I finally understood what “Mitzvah” really meant. 下水文1 Paragraph 1: On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. The wind was biting, and the snow was coming down so heavily that I could barely see the road ahead. I felt a pang of regret for not accepting the help that was offered to me before. This time, the stakes were higher; my final exam was crucial for my grade. As I stood shivering at the bus stop, I remembered my grandmother's words echoing in my mind, "Linda, sometimes it's a blessing to let another person do something for you." I realized that my pride was not worth the risk of missing an important exam. Just as I was about to turn back and ask for a lift, I saw the woman from upstairs pulling out of the parking lot in her car. Paragraph 2: As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman. She looked at me, her eyes filled with concern as she noticed my shivering form. "Linda, are you going to school?" she asked, her voice warm and inviting. I hesitated for a moment, then nodded, my pride warring with my need for help. "Would you like a ride?" she offered, and this time, I didn't let my stubbornness get in the way. "Yes, please," I replied, my voice filled with gratitude. She smiled and opened the car door for me. As we drove through the snow, I felt a warmth that was not just from the heater but from the kindness of a stranger. I understood then what my grandmother meant by a mitzvah. It was not just about doing good deeds for others, but also about accepting the kindness that others wanted to give. That day, I let go of my pride and embraced the blessing of community and connection. 下水文2 Paragraph 1: On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. The wind howled around me, and the snowflakes swirled like a white-out, making the path to the bus stop treacherous. My heart pounded in my chest as I thought about the exam that would determine my future. This time, the pressure was too great, and the weather too harsh. I knew I couldn't risk being late. As I reached the bus stop, I spotted the familiar figure of my upstairs neighbor, bundled up and about to get into her car. It was now or never. I mustered all my courage and approached her, my voice shaking slightly as I asked, "Excuse me, would you mind giving me a lift to school? The bus is unreliable in this weather." Paragraph 2: As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman. She looked surprised for a moment, then her expression softened into a warm smile. "Of course, Linda," she said, "I've been wondering why you never asked for a ride before. We're neighbors, we should help each other out." I felt a wave of relief and gratitude wash over me as I climbed into her warm car. We chatted on the way to school, and I learned that she was a professor at a nearby university. She shared some last-minute tips for my exam, and I felt my confidence grow. When we arrived, she wished me good luck, and I thanked her from the bottom of my heart. As I walked into the exam room, I realized that my grandmother's wisdom had not only saved me from the cold but had also taught me a valuable lesson about community and the power of accepting help when it's offered. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
