读后续写--告别拒信的阴霾，奔赴大学新征程 讲义-山东省泰安市泰山外国语学校2024-2025学年高二下学期开学考试英语试题

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落的开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I was in New York City on a school trip. I called home from a pay phone, and my little sister, Alex, said four envelopes had arrived: Georgetown, Cornell, William and Mary and the University of Massachusetts. She then opened and read them to me in her ten-year-old voice: “We regret that we do not have a place for you...” Rejected from Georgetown. “You were one of many qualified candidates...” Rejected from Cornell. And number seventy-three on a waiting list of seventy-five at William and Mary. Accepted to U Mass, my safety school. I didn’t digest the rejections immediately. I toured the United Nations, took train home and went back to school. Then I realized that other people had gotten into schools they really wanted to go to. Up to that point in my seventeen years, I hadn’t really failed at anything. I got good grades, made the school team and scored well on my SATs. I hadn’t experienced any major disappointments in my life, no deaths, no disease, no divorce, no cavities (龋齿) even. So being rejected seemed disastrous. I had always assumed I’d go to one of the“good schools.”I really wanted to be chosen: This is the place for smart people, and we want you. U Mass, on the other hand, had the reputation of being a party school to which, come September, I’d be headed with the guy who sat next to me in tenth-grade history and who, during tests, left his book open on the floor and turned the pages with his feet. I did not get active like my friend Heather, who, having been rejected by her first choice, made I Love Lucy-style plans to drive to the Duke campus with her soccer ball and her science-fair project to show the admissions board(招生委员会) exactly what they were rejecting. I simply said things like, “I’ve decided to give up the undergraduate degree and take a cake-decorating course.” The subtext in this was: I’m stupid. The world isn’t fair. 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。 I remained bitter until one day, my father sat me down. ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deeply touched by his words, I began to reconsider my situation.____________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 文章大意 作者在纽约参加学校旅行时，通过电话得知自己申请的几所理想大学都拒绝了自己，只有保底的马萨诸塞大学录取了自己。在此之前，17 岁的作者人生顺风顺水，没有经历过重大挫折，这次被拒让他觉得仿佛是一场灾难。他一直认为自己会进入一所 “好学校”，而马萨诸塞大学在他眼中是一所 “派对学校”，他的心态变得消极，甚至说出要放弃本科学位去学蛋糕装饰的话。 故事山分析 · 开端：作者在纽约旅行时接到妹妹电话，得知自己被多所心仪大学拒绝，仅被保底学校马萨诸塞大学录取。 · 发展：作者意识到他人进入了理想学校，而自己此前人生顺利，这次被拒让他觉得是巨大的失败，心态消极，对马萨诸塞大学充满抵触。 · 高潮：父亲与作者坐下谈话，改变了作者的想法。 · 结局：作者重新审视自己的处境，积极面对未来。 伏笔以及在续写中的回应 伏笔：作者此前人生顺利，未经历重大挫折。回应：在父亲的开导下，作者意识到人生不可能总是一帆风顺，这次挫折是成长的机会。 伏笔：作者对马萨诸塞大学的负面看法。回应：重新思考后，作者决定以积极的态度看待这所学校，挖掘其优点。 伏笔：作者消极的话语，如要放弃本科学位去学蛋糕装饰。回应：改变想法后，作者放弃这种消极念头，重新规划大学生活。 伏笔：朋友 Heather 被拒后的积极行动。回应：作者可能会从 Heather 的行动中获得启发，学习她积极争取的精神。 伏笔：作者未像 Heather 一样积极行动。回应：在父亲的引导下，作者开始变得积极，像 Heather 一样主动去改变对现状的看法。 续写要点 第一段：父亲与作者坐下谈话，父亲可能会分享自己的经历，告诉作者失败是人生的一部分，鼓励作者不要气馁，引导作者正确看待这次挫折。 第二段：作者被父亲的话触动，开始重新审视自己的处境，可能会想到马萨诸塞大学的优势，决定积极面对大学生活，为未来制定计划。 情感线 一开始作者因被拒而感到沮丧、消极，认为自己很失败，世界不公平。在父亲谈话后，作者开始反思，情感逐渐转变为积极向上，对未来充满期待。 故事线 作者接到被拒通知，心情低落。 作者消极对待，表达放弃本科学位的想法。 父亲与作者谈话，开导作者。 作者被父亲的话触动，开始反思。 作者重新审视马萨诸塞大学，发现其优点。 作者积极规划大学生活，充满信心面对未来。 主旨升华句 Failure is not the end, but a stepping - stone to success. 失败不是终点，而是成功的垫脚石。 Every setback is an opportunity for growth and self - discovery. 每一次挫折都是成长和自我发现的机会。 It's not the destination that defines us, but the journey we take to get there. 定义我们的不是目的地，而是我们到达那里所经历的旅程。 A positive attitude can turn a negative situation into a chance for a new beginning. 积极的态度可以将消极的情况转变为新开始的机会。 In the face of rejection, it's our resilience that determines our future. 面对拒绝，我们的韧性决定了我们的未来。 写作示范 示范一 I remained bitter until one day, my father sat me down. He looked at me with a gentle smile and said, “Son, I know you're disappointed, but this is just a small setback in life. When I was young, I also faced many rejections. I wanted to join a prestigious company, but they turned me down. However, that didn't stop me. I kept working hard and finally found a better opportunity.” He told me that every failure was a lesson and an opportunity for growth. Deeply touched by his words, I began to reconsider my situation. I realized that U Mass might not be as bad as I thought. It had its own unique advantages and excellent professors. I decided to make the most of this chance. I started researching the courses offered there and made a plan for my first semester. I was determined to prove myself and show that I could still achieve great things, no matter which school I went to. 示范二 I remained bitter until one day, my father sat me down. He shared his own story of failure when he lost a big business deal. He said, “I felt like the world had ended, but then I realized that life goes on. Rejection is just a part of the process. You have to learn from it and move forward.” His words made me think deeply about my own situation. Deeply touched by his words, I began to reconsider my situation. I thought about Heather's active attitude and decided to follow her example. I reached out to some seniors who had studied at U Mass and learned about the amazing clubs and research opportunities there. I realized that it was my attitude that mattered. I was excited to start this new chapter of my life at U Mass, ready to embrace all the challenges and opportunities that came with it. 参考答案 I remained bitter until one day, my father sat me down. He put his hand on my shoulder and said, “Honey, I understand how you feel. But life is full of unexpected twists and turns. Remember when I tried to start my own business and failed? It was hard, but I didn't give up. These rejections are not the end of the world. They are just opportunities for you to find a better path.” He told me that every successful person has faced failures and that what sets them apart is how they respond. Deeply touched by his words, I began to reconsider my situation. I thought about all the things I could do at U Mass. Maybe it wasn't the school of my dreams, but it could still offer me a great education and wonderful experiences. I decided to focus on the positive aspects. I started looking into the different majors, clubs, and activities available. I was no longer going to let the rejections define me. Instead, I was going to make the most of this new opportunity and create my own success story. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
