读后续写——首句衔接思路及高分句式
在读后续写中,如何根据给定的故事的基础上,使得续写的篇章完整,句子之间衔接自然,逻辑性比较强,故事内容丰富且有起承转折,故事的结尾能够合理升华文章主旨。在谋篇布局的过程中,则需要从整体出发,找到整个故事主要矛盾、冲突或问题,再从给出的两段段落开头,判断事件的走向,发挥合理的想象力和创造力,解决人物冲突和矛盾,则为读后续写两小段落的基本构思思路。
一、衔接动作+语言+表情+心理等多个句式
找出文章中的主人公和涉及的人物,在事件发生过程中,描写各个人物的动作、语言、表情及心理,即对文章中出现的事件的反应。
1.表示“说”类似的词汇,如:
confirmed , explained ,mentioned, added
2.表示心理情绪+动作等相结合,如:
felt a surge of relief and awe感到一阵宽慰和敬畏
felt a mix of relief and guilt感到既宽慰又内疚
With a surge of relief sweeping over sb., 某人如释重负
mean or abusive既不刻薄,也不辱骂人
eyes filled with tears
sighed in despair绝望地叹了口气
for fear that 担心
relaxation gave way to panic and despair.放松被恐慌和绝望所取代
filled me with satisfaction and pride感到满足和自豪
Thrilled and joyful激动又高兴
例如:
When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them. He explained what had happened and mentioned the man’s claim about his father’s watch. Mr. Green looked surprised and said, “We did find an old watch when we moved in, but we had no idea who it belonged to.” Kevin felt a mix of relief and guilt. He realized the man might have been telling the truth, but breaking into the house was still wrong. (2025年浙江1月卷)
当格林夫妇回到家时,凯文去跟他们说了。他解释了所发生的事情,并提到了那个男人有关他父亲手表的说法。格林先生看上去很惊讶,说道:“我们搬进来的时候确实发现了一块旧表,但根本不知道是谁的。”凯文感到一阵释然又一阵内疚。他意识到那个男人或许说的是实话,但闯入别人家的行为依然是不对的。
Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. The officers confirmed that the man had been arrested and was being questioned. When they showed him the watch, the man’s eyes filled with tears. (2025年浙江1月卷)
凯文和格林先生把找到的手表带到了警察局。警官们确认那个男人已被逮捕并正在接受审讯。当他们把表拿给他看时,那个男人的眼里充满了泪水。
With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. He opened it with a surprised smile, and for a moment, neither of us spoke. Then we hugged — something we hadn’t done since before his wife passed away. We sat on the porch with Toby resting beside us, and I handed him the box of biscuits. (2025年全国一卷)
我带着妻子做的饼干来到哥哥家门口。他打开门时露出了惊讶的笑容,有那么一会儿,我们都没说话。然后我们拥抱了一下 —— 这是自从他妻子去世前我们就没再做过的事。我们坐在门廊上,托比在我们身边休息,我把那盒饼干递给了他。
The pay day arrived at last. Laying in front of my eyes were numerous coins, which was absolutely a great fortune ! Hardly could I conceal my excitement and I simply counted all these coins over and over again! However, what father said was lingering over my head.(2021年浙江卷)
发薪的日子终于到来了。眼前摆着一堆硬币,这简直就是一笔巨额财富啊!我简直抑制不住内心的激动,不停地数着这些硬币!然而,父亲说的话一直萦绕在我的心头。
3.形容词、副词置句首:情绪心理动作等
例如:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Afraid that I might hurt the lovely small creature, I automatically let out a cry to stop my horse.
突然,一只小兔子跳到了我的马前。我害怕我会伤害这个可爱的小生物,我自动发出一声喊叫来阻止我的马。

Evidently, Scott was scared, rooted to the spot, with his forehead sweaty and his face pale.
显然,斯科特吓坏了,站在原地不动,额头冒汗,脸色苍白。

5.衔接无灵主语:其后描述人物情绪、动作及语言等。

五六分钟,虽然感觉很长。空心蔬菜里的空气充满了我焦虑的呼吸。我能听到我妹妹的笑声和杰森的低沉的声音谈论切开巨大的东西。“没有啊!不是我的宝贝南瓜!”我抗议道。
6.衔接对话或内心独白

I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains. So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign “Going Out of Business Sale”, I marched into the crowded store. Up and down the aisles (通道), I wandered, humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.
All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store sat a canoe (轻舟) exactly like my husband’s dream Supremo Numero-Uno, whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years. My heart beat wildly. I pushed my way through the crowds, and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it was, with the manufacturer’s suggested price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi. I’m Mathew”. “Mathew. Tell me about this ElSupremo canoe. What’s wrong with it? Why is it only $750?”
“Oh. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s brand new. We’re closing the store. It’s on clearance like everything else. I’ll go check.” A few minutes later he came back and said, “I’m sorry ma’am. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. It should be $4,750 for the whole package.”
I felt tears well up in my eyes. “Oh well”, I said sadly. “Of course, it was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husband’s dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. He’s going to be 62 years old on Friday. Had to retire early for his health. It’s been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this. I promise I won’t buy anything, but it’s just an old man’s silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired,” my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.

Some people are just bound to be failures. That’s the way some adults look at troublesome kids. Maybe you’ve heard the saying. “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” I am sure that T.J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day at school.
At high school, Ware was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. Teachers would feel uneasy when they saw his name posted on the lists for the next term. Ware was moving on, but certainly not moving up. I met Ware for the first time at a leadership training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities. When I showed up to lead their first training, the community leaders gave me this overview of the attending students, “We have a total range of students, from the student body president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town.”
At the beginning of the training, Ware was standing outside of the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in. The ice really melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. Ware had some definite thoughts on those situations. The other students in his group welcomed his comments, which made a lot of sense.
The next day, Ware was very active in all the activities. By the end of the training, he had joined the Homeless Project team. The other students in the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected him chairman of the team. Most teachers strongly opposed to his being elected chairman, warning the principal that Ware would probably steal half the food. But the principal reminded them that the purpose of the program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and strengthen its practice until true change could take place. The teachers left the meeting shaking their heads, convinced that failure was approaching.

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。
Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He stopped at the fence in front of the house where he lived with his Aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt it was difficult for him to continue and sat down.
He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day. They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.
He put his hands into his pockets and took out all that belonged to him. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets —nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea.
At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.
While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. As he walked along, he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat. First he shouted loudly, like a boat captain. Then he said “Ding-Dong-Dong”, “Ding-Dong-Dong” again and again, like the bell of a riverboat. And he made other strange noises. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.
Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared for a moment and then said, “Hello! I’m going swimming, but you can’t go, can you?”
No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom’s mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working.
Ben said, “Hello, old fellow, you’ve got to work, hey?”
Tom turned suddenly and said, “Why, it’s you, Ben! I wasn’t noticing.”
“Say—I’m going swimming. Don’t you wish you could? But of course you’d rather work — wouldn’t you? Of course you would.”
Tom looked at the boy a bit, and said, “Why do you call work?”
“Why, isn’t that work?”Tom went back to his white washing, and answered carelessly.
“Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.”
“Oh come, now, you don’t mean to say that you like it?”The brush continued to move.
“Like it? Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”
Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said, “Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”
Tom thought for a moment, was about to agree, but he changed his mind.
“No—no—it won’t do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don’t think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.”
“No—is that so? Oh come, now—let me just try. Only just a little.” “Ben, I’d like to, but if it isn’t done right, I’m afraid Aunt Polly...”
“Oh, I’ll be careful. Now let me try. Say—I’ll give you the core of my apple.”
“Well, here—No, Ben, now don’t. I’m afraid...”
“I’ll give you all of it.”

Last Sunday afternoon, Sandra and I were eager to meet up with a man on Detroit’s east side to help him get ready for a job interview this week. But on the way, we spotted a dog lying near the road next to his owner. We thought he’d been hit by a car. My friend, Sandra, and I had assisted animal rescue groups before and we thought there might be something we could do, so we quickly pulled over to help.
His owner, a woman told us the dog’s name is Bosco, and she was walking him over a mile in the heat to her new home. She said Bosco was an outside dog and no one would give him a ride to her new place. That’s when she and a friend decided to walk the entire way. He was going from a life on a chain in one backyard to another. She said Bosco was having trouble breathing along the way, but they thought he could make it. But just a block away from their destination, Bosco fell down. We could tell he was suffering from heatstroke (中暑). She told us he had thrown up and could no longer stand. Bosco was out of breath quickly. His drool(口水) was also thick. Bosco’s owner said she wanted to give him away because she didn’t have time for him. She said he would never be allowed into her new “home” because her children have allergies(过敏症) and she worried he would dirty the carpet.
I made a call to Kristina Rinaldi of Detroit Dog Rescue to ask if they could help Bosco because it was clear that he was going to die without emergency care. To our happiness, Rinaldi said they could help. At once she told the people at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services that a dog which needed critical care was being rushed in and they must be ready to try their best to save him.

I was touched through experiences, memories, books, stories, animals, angels, and most of all other people. People have moved me and molded(对……影响重大)me with moments of love and examples of kindness.
One time on the day before Christmas many years ago when I was a minimum wage millworker, I found myself with very little money and very little time to buy my small children a few simple toys. I knew that they would have to be cheap ones and I hoped my children would like them. I hated not having enough to give them more. I hated being poor. And I hated feeling bad at Christmas rather than happy.
I pulled into a store parking lot and counted my money again. It wasn’t much but maybe I could get something small with it. As I was getting out of the car, I noticed the Salvation Army(救世军)bell ringer at the entrance. I felt bad again because I didn’t feel I could spare anything to give him. I started walking towards the entrance when two cars pulled into empty parking spots in front of me. The first was a shiny, new Cadillac and I felt a twinge of jealousy when I saw it. “How nice,” I thought, “would it be to have enough money to buy a car like that.” The second car, though, was an ancient sedan(轿车)more beat-up and rusty than the one I was driving.
A man hopped(冲)out of the Cadillac and hurried into the store right past the bell ringer without a second glance. Out of the old sedan came a young mother with three small children in tow(紧随着). Her clothes looked as worn out as her car, yet she stopped in front of the bell ringer, smiled, opened her purse, and dropped a bill in his red kettle(钱罐).

“My name is Joy, Joy the Jug. Unfortunately, at the moment I am rather joyless. I used to be beautiful. I was happy on the dining table all the time. But now times have changed.” She sat sad in the corner of the kitchen cupboard.
“The worst part is the loss of self-esteem. It’s wonderful when you feel useful. They would use me for sauce, milk, all sorts of different things. I could smell and taste the food. I was part of the family, I could listen to the conversation, and I knew what was going on.”Joy smiled as she thought of all the good times she had. But that was a long time ago. Joy cried a few tears.
“And now, I am no good for anything. When Mum was doing the dishes she hit me on the tap. It really hurt me. There was a big crack right from my top half way down to my base, and all along the handle. Mum said it would be dangerous to use me. And then she put me in the cupboard, and that was the end of my life.”
In the cupboard the piles of plates were listening to Joy and felt very embarrassed. They knew Joy had been a bit miserable, but they hadn’t taken much notice really.
“And then, I got moved further to the back of the cupboard. I haven’t seen the daylight for six months now. I am just shut away, unwanted. The only people who know I am here are the plates beside me, but they just ignore me.”
“Well, what do you want us to do?” asked one of the plates. “We can’t get Mum to use you if you are broken. You really aren’t much useful for anything, are you?”
“No. You are right,” said Joy sadly.
She was quiet for a while, and then she said, “There is one thing you could do. Next time Mum puts you plates back after a meal, could you move a bit so I can get closer to the edge and see out?”

With one smooth motion Quentin took the football from the quarterback, held the football tightly under his arm, and headed for the goal line. When he was less than ten yards away, a player from the opposing team rushed toward him, hoping to prevent him from scoring. But Quentin did his trade mark “Quentin quick-change” and sidestepped the opponent’s open arms. The crowd cheered as Quentin crossed the goal line and held the football high up. In the locker room after the game, the crowd’s cheers were still in Quentin’s ears, taking him back to that victorious moment. “Nice run, Quentin, ”Coach Calzi said, patting him on the back. “It was nothing, Coach,” Quentin replied. “l could do it without even trying.” The coach looked at Quentin thoughtfully for a moment and then walked away without saying anything more.
One month after the season ended, Coach Calzi called the team together to begin post season training. The coach first described the exercises he wanted everyone to do every day. Then he gave specific instructions to each player that would help overcome areas of particular weakness.
Quentin knew that he was in excellent physical shape, so he expected that his exercises would be relatively easy. He was totally unprepared for what the coach said next.
“Quentin,” said Coach Calzi, “I want you to join the debate team.”
“Join the debate team?” Quentin questioned. “I can’t spend all winter arguing different sides of an issue. Besides, I want to be a professional football player, not a lawyer. Right now I’m the best halfback on the team. I need to stay in shape!”
“Yes, you are the best, Quentin,” Coach Calzi agreed. “In fact. You’re the best player this school has seen in many years. But even the best players can learn to be better. I think you will learn some valuable things about playing football by being on the debate team.”

Paragraph 1:
I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, ma’am?” “Yes. Yes. That’s about all I have.” “Well then, you just have your husband sitting at the front gate on Friday morning around 10 o’clock so he can be there when my dad and I come to unload his new canoe. We’ll even put a bow on it for his birthday.” I started to cry. My old hand shook as I wrote out my cheque.
Paragraph 2:
“Ma’am. There’s something you should know. This store was my grandpa’s and the canoe had been ordered by him. He always promised to retire one day. Said he wanted to spend time relaxing and out fishing in a canoe.” He swallowed hard. “My grandpa died, sudden-like, just last week. He was only 68 years old. I think he’d be mighty happy that your husband will get this canoe. You just have to make sure he uses it a lot, okay? Promise?” “I promise,” I said as I dashed off to look for my dear sweet husband.

Paragraph 1:
Two weeks later, Ware led a group of 70 students to collect more than 2,000 cans of food in just two hours for the homeless people, which set a new school record. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day, in which Ware’s picture was up for doing something greater. After that, Ware led a second project, collecting 300 blankets and 1,000 pairs of shoes for the shelter, and then, a third one. More importantly, all the teachers surprisingly found that true changes were taking place on Ware at school.
Paragraph 2:
Many years later, Ware graduated from college, and then he opened his own company, where most workers were local people from his community. He still tries his best to do what he can for the society. Ware is flying quite nicely these days. From Ware’s story, we firmly believe that no one is bound to be a failure, and a bird with a broken wing only needs mending, and once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.

Paragraph 1:
Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was tired, Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite; and when Billy was tired, Johnny bought in for a dead rat and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures.
Paragraph 2:
And he had not worked. He had had an ice idle time all the time, with plenty of company—and the fence had been whitewashed three times. If he hadn’t run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends .He had discovered a great law of human action, namely, that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get.

Paragraph 1:
Sandra drove while I stayed in the back seat trying to comfort Bosco. I thought we lost him a couple of times when he was seemingly out of breath and his eyes seemed to close. By the time we arrived, Bosco was wheeled into the animal care center to receive emergency care. Bosco was put on oxygen and was taken good care of by staff there and we waited anxiously for the dog to get out of danger. Rinaldi said another dog in Detroit Dog Rescue had already been named Bosco, and she wanted this new member to have a new name for his new life.
Paragraph 2:
So Bosco is now being called Roscoe, whose critical care and recovery were estimated to be several thousand dollars. It would be difficult for Roscoe’s new home to cover the costs as a non-profit organization. Thankfully, many people who knew Roscoe’s story on Detroit Dog Rescue’s Facebook page donated money to his care. With the help of supporters, Detroit Dog Rescue managed to make it. Once Roscoe was in a stable state, Sandra and I returned to our original mission, knowing we had already been given the chance to help one desperate soul.

Paragraph 1:
I stood there for a minute in astonishment. “Maybe,” I thought to myself, “it’s better to be rich on the inside instead of the outside.” That rich man should have done something to help the poor, but he didn’t. Sometimes it was really wrong to judge a person by his or her appearance. I really had respect for the poor mother from the bottom of my heart. She set a good example for her children to follow.
Paragraph 2:
In that second a warmth touched me, my jealousy and hatred left me, and all the love and joy that are Christmas filled me. I fished a bill out of my own purse, dropped it in the Salvation Army kettle, and wished the bell ringer a merry Christmas. I found a few fun things to give my kids and drove home with my heart singing. I knew it was going to be a wonderful Christmas. I could hardly wait to see my children enjoying the presents bought for them, including a special gift—love for those in need.

Paragraph 1:
So during the next few days, as the plates were used and put back into the cupboard, they all moved a little bit and gradually got Joy to the front where she could see the family and feel some fresh air. As the dinner dishes were washed and put away Joy got right to the edge. She could see Mum’s hand coming in with more plates, and she managed to touch her hand, she got her handle caught in Mum’s fingers and threw herself over the edge of the shelf.
Paragraph 2:
Over the side she went, she closed her eyes as she went down, held her breath, and waited to be broken into pieces. Mum saw the jug falling, and caught it just before it landed on the floor. That day Mum bought some silk flowers, and put them inside Joy. As they don’t need to put water in the jug, it didn’t matter that the jug was broken. Joy was washed and put right beside the television. She is very happy now because she is part of the family again.

Paragraph 1:
Quentin went to the debate team meeting the following Monday. As the team worked on its debate, Quentin found that his team needed to listen carefully, identify any weaknesses, and then argue against them in a convincing manner when the other team presented its position. He also noticed that team members worked together to develop a strategy for responding to their opponents in the same way the football team prepared for a big game.
Paragraph 2:
By the end of the semester, Quentin had helped his team advance to the championship tournament. During the finals the opposing team had been quite persuasive in presenting their position. When it was Quentin’s turn, instead of presenting the response his team had prepared, he suddenly thought of a more effective way. It was like the “Quentin quick-change” of the football field. His alertness and reactive strategy helped his debate team win the championship.
