考生在平时的训练中,除了要提高准确使用词汇的能力外,还要注意词汇的丰富性:减少笼统词、低年级常用词的使用,培养使用派生词、短语的习惯。既要有灵活使用简单句的能力,又要有变换使用不同结构的句式的意识和能力,如非谓语动词作状语、倒装句等,这样会提升表达的准确性,增加语句的丰富性,使文章更加生动、具体。

【典例感悟】
The Meredith family lived in a small community.As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs.Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet.People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs.Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor.She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before.There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy.The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara.“He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention.When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn(爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
When Mrs.Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one, too.Very soon, the children learnt how to pop the corn and then were busy in doing this “big” thing.At the same time, their mother went out to buy the paper bags that they needed.When she came back, she brought with her Bernard.Bernard felt grateful to all of them for what they had done for him.
Paragraph 2:
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business.Much sooner than could be expected, he returned with an empty basket and so much money that he had never seen before.He was so delighted that he could hardly speak, but his bright smiling face spoke for him.For many weeks, every Saturday, the three children would prepare popcorn for Bernard to sell.This little boy therefore could help support his family.All of this was because of John's bright idea.
[解题流程]
第一步:浏览所给信息,确定主题大意
who
Mrs.Meredith;John, Harry, and Clara; Bernard
what
The Meredith family helped Bernard earn money.
where
a small community
when
As the economy was in decline.
why
Bernard's father was sick.
文章大意
Mrs.Meredith and her three children found a good way to help poor Bernard earn money.
表达主题
Love and Kindness
第二步:梳理已知段落,确定主要情节
关注两条主线:
1.plot(明线):即谁做了什么,为什么,可以从文中获取。
2.plot(发展):Meredith一家人乐于助人,而Bernard一家人需要帮助,而两家人产生交集,交汇点则是孩子们的互动:即Meredith家的三个孩子积极思考,想出了帮助Bernard挣钱的方法——卖爆米花。
3.feelings(暗线):即谁感觉如何,需要进行合理的推测。
第三步:借助段落开头,确定续写内容
研读续写段落的开头语
Para.1
When Mrs.Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one, too.(切入点)Mrs.Meredith赞同约翰的“好主意”。
1.What did Mrs.Meredith encourage her children after she heard the good idea?
2.How did the children and Bernard do exactly?
研读续写段落的开头语
Para.2
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business.(切入点)一切准备好之后,结果会如何呢?
1.How did poor Bernard sell the popcorn?
2.Did poor Bernard earn money in the end?
续写内容
Para.1
约翰和其他孩子们是具体如何做的。
Para.2
Bernard如何具体去卖爆米花的。
第四步:刻画细节冲突,优美连贯表达
描绘孩子们忙于做爆米花的细节;Bernard卖光爆米花的开心愉悦的心情描写。情节描述合情合理,衔接自然,生动有趣。
第五步:做到首尾呼应,结构完整合理
文章开头点明主意很好,结尾应围绕着约翰的“好主意”展开,因此结尾“All of this was because of John's bright idea.”做到首尾呼应,情节合理,描述得当。

【典例感悟】
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。
Having taken part in the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years, I was a shining star of my school.When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again.Consequently, I became conceited(自负的).I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest.
A week before the contest.my teacher Ms.Sara asked. “Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest?” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was.“Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience.” she added.
“I'm sorry.Ms.Sara,” I replied.“I have a bit of a sore throat.”
This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class.I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary.On one occasion, I even told Ms.Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest.In fact, I did everything but practice my script.I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest.As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools, I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed.My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates.I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total.Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself.My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Soon it was my turn to talk.Facing the crowd, I found myself suffering from stage fright.I spoke in a nervous voice and even stuttered a few times as I forgot parts of the story.My legs trembled and so did my voice.Seeing my terrible performance, the judges shook their heads.The supporters from my school looked at me in disappointment.Never had I been so embarrassed in my life.Eventually, I walked off the stage, with all tears in my eyes.
Paragraph 2:
Finally, results were announced after the contest.I did not win any prizes, which was not surprising at all.I felt ashamed when I faced my classmates and Ms.Sara.I regretted underestimating my opponents and overestimating myself.My vanity had cost me the championship.I regretted being so arrogant. I had learned my lesson well and finally understood the meaning of the famous saying, “Modesty helps one to make progress, but conceit makes one lag behind”.
【试题分析】
在过去的两年里,“我”一直是校际故事大赛上的明星。所以,“我”再次代表学校参加今年即将到来的比赛。由于“我”的骄傲自负,“我”疏于练习,甚至还编造谎话躲避排练,因为“我”一直坚信自己是最棒的。然而,比赛当天,看到其他选手出色的表演,“我”开始慌了。“我”的手心开始出汗,内心十分紧张。
【写作指导】
本文主题语境为人与自我,通过作者的个人经历说明了骄傲使人落后的人生道理。续写时应注意在末尾点睛升华,可以用谚语等结尾。续写部分整体线索是:比赛开始——表演糟糕——尴尬下台——羞愧后悔——反思——得到教训。
第一段:由提示句“很快,轮到我讲故事了”以及材料中对作者疏于练习的描述可以推测:由于赛前准备不够充分,作者表演的时候非常紧张,甚至数次因忘词而口吃。这次表演非常糟糕,评委和支持者们很失望。作者感觉这辈子从来没有这么尴尬过,眼含着泪水走下舞台。
第二段:由提示句“最后,比赛结束后宣布了比赛结果”并结合续写第一段的内容可知,第二段可描写作者没有得奖以及作者的自我反思,如:作者感到羞愧,后悔低估了对手,高估了自己,终于明白了“虚心使人进步,骄傲使人落后”这句话的含义。
