读后续写--拖延的苦果：一次建筑设计项目的教训 讲义-安徽省合肥一六八中学2024-2025学年高三上学期10月段考英语试卷

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。 Most people think that procrastination (拖延症) is a negative habit. But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our “slower” approach to getting tasks done. I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the “do it right now” gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” “No way!” I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister’s…or so I thought. At school we’d been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have no clue how I could get it done,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands-on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a second thought for weeks. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That taught me a great lesson. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 续写要点 第一段（Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project.） · 情感线：从最初的自信满满到此时的惊慌失措、焦虑不安。 · 故事线：描述 “我” 意识到时间紧迫后的一系列慌乱行为，如匆忙找材料、思绪混乱、手忙脚乱地开始搭建，同时意识到自己之前浪费了太多时间，即便通宵赶工，作品也不尽人意。 · 写作思路：通过对 “我” 的心理、动作描写来体现慌张和后悔的情绪，突出拖延带来的不良后果。 第二段（That taught me a great lesson.） · 情感线：懊悔、醒悟，下定决心改变。 · 故事线：总结这次经历，反思拖延并非总是如自己之前认为的那样有益，认识到在有期限的任务面前拖延的危害，以及规划和及时行动的重要性，表明要改变拖延习惯的决心。 · 写作思路：强调这次教训对自己的深刻影响，从思想转变到未来行动的规划。 主旨升华句 1.

My heart sank as I stared at the empty space where my construction was supposed to be. I rummaged through the limited materials I had gathered, my mind a blank. Every minute ticked away, adding to my anxiety. I clumsily started piecing things together, but mistakes piled up. The design I had envisioned seemed impossible to achieve now. As the night wore on, I was filled with self - reproach for my over - confidence and weeks of idleness. That taught me a great lesson. I understood that procrastination was like a double - edged sword. While it might give the illusion of more thinking time, it could also destroy our chances of success. I vowed to respect time limits from then on. No more false comfort in the guise of "delayed creativity". I knew that only by acting promptly could I avoid such disasters and achieve my goals. 第二篇 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. Suddenly, a sense of dread washed over me. I began scrambling for materials, but everything seemed to be going wrong. The ideas that once flowed freely now eluded me. I was sweating profusely as I tried to assemble something, anything. My earlier bravado was replaced by sheer desperation. The cafeteria display now seemed like a distant dream as I struggled to make sense of the mess I'd created by my delay. That taught me a great lesson. I realized that procrastination is a dangerous game. It can make us overestimate our abilities and underestimate the value of time. This experience was a wake - up call. I learned that we must be responsible for our time and tasks. We can't afford to let procrastination derail our plans. From that day forward, I made a commitment to myself to be more disciplined and to value every moment of preparation. 参考范文 Para.1 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I hastily and quickly glued together what I pulled out from our recycle bin, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. Several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed constructions. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was obvious that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had. Para.2 That taught me a great lesson. I learnt from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks on time, but also I felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
