读后续写之人与动物
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。
A man called, asking if an owl (猫头鹰) could be rescued.Ellen Kalish was happy to help, who runs the Manhattan Wildlife Center in New York.She is used to getting calls about taking in wild animals.The caller told her where this tiny owl was hiding out.It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees.But this year, the tree looked a little worse.Many people made fun of its branches.They called the tree a “symbol of 2020”, meaning its sad look reminded them how tough the past year was.
The tale of the owl's rescue quickly became the highlight of this year's tree.Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers caught sight of the creature.It was buried in the base of the tree.The owl most likely traveled with the tree on its journey to Manhattan.But there was no proof about where it came from and how it ended up stuck in this tree.Getting the little bird out from the base of the tree, the worker noticed that the creature got badly injured and seemed not to eat or drink anything for a few days.She was too weak to fly, but luckily she was still alive.
In that case, the worker had to bring the owl home.He named her Rocky as he spotted her in the Rockefeller Center.Considering he himself had no idea how to keep an owl, he decided to find a place that rescues wildlife animals.That was why he called the Center.After Kalish got the full story about the bird, she met the man at a gas station.Then the man handed her a box with the owl inside.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Kalish took the box carefully.
Rocky didn't look that terrible as she was in the box a week before.
[读后续写四步曲]
第一步 通读全文,理清脉络
1.读要素,弄懂故事大意
本文大意:主要讲述了Manhattan野生动物救助中心的创始人Ellen Kalish接到陌生电话,询问他们是否接受野生猫头鹰,Ellen驱车去加油站接过猫头鹰的故事。
2.读人物,理清人物关系
Ellen Kalish, a worker, Rocky
3.读时态,确定主体时态
一般过去时
4.读结构,了解叙述方式
第1段:曼哈顿野生动物中心的Ellen Kalish接到电话,要求救援藏在洛克菲勒中心圣诞树里的猫头鹰。
第2段:猫头鹰在树底部被发现,可能随树运往曼哈顿。它受伤严重,无法进食和饮水,但仍然活着。
学生用书第179页
第3段:工人将猫头鹰带回家,取名Rocky,因不知道如何照顾它,联系曼哈顿野生动物中心。Kalish得知情况后,在加油站接过了猫头鹰。
续写部分:第一段主要描写Kalish接过猫头鹰,精心照料,帮助它恢复健康;第二段则讲述Kalish训练Rocky适应新环境、放飞它回归大自然的过程。
由此可见,材料是按照时空变化来划分的。我们在构思续写时应从这个叙述方式去进行拓展。
5.读语言,把握语言特色
原文中的语言特色:
(1)定语从句的使用
Ellen Kalish was happy to help, who runs the Manhattan Wildlife Center in New York.
It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees.
(2)被动语态的使用
It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees.
Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers caught sight of the creature.It was buried in the base of the tree.
(3)非谓语动词的使用
Getting the little bird out from the base of the tree, the worker noticed that the creature got badly injured and seemed not to eat or drink anything for a few days.
第二步 依据首句,构思框架
1.读懂两段首句
第一段首句译文:Kalish小心地接过盒子。
第二段首句译文:Rocky看起来不像一周前在盒子里那么糟糕了。
第一段框架:Kalish接过猫头鹰,精心照料,帮助它恢复健康的过程。
第二段框架:Kalish训练Rocky适应新环境、放飞它回归大自然的过程。
2.写好两个衔接句
第一段首句后的衔接句:She opened the box gently.
第二段首句后的衔接句:On Friday, Kalish moved Rocky to an outdoor practice cage so she could get used to new circumstance and Kalish could monitor her flight.
第三步 增加细节,展开续写
基于第一段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
Kalish的动作描写(她轻轻地打开盒子)→猫头鹰的动作描写(站在一个纸板箱里,直视着她)→Kalish的心理描写(我想,这真是个奇迹!这只鸟是怎么在这次旅行中幸存下来的?)→描述性语言(她给这只猫头鹰取名为Rockefeller,或者“Rocky”)→Kalish的语言描写(说她非常饿)→Kalish的动作描写(立即给她水和食物)→描述性语言(一名兽医对她进行了检查,她没有骨折或内部损伤)→Rocky的动作描写(到周四,开始给自己洗澡)→Kalish的语言描写(猫头鹰洗澡会导致“到处都是水”)
基于第二段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
Kalish的动作描写(周五,将Rocky转移到一个户外的练习笼中,以便她适应新环境,Kalish也可以监控她的飞行情况)→Rocky的动作描写(到周二黄昏时,她似乎已经准备好走了)→Kalish的动作描写(把Rocky带到附近森林的一片空地上,把她从笼子里抱出来,然后把她举向天空)→Rocky的动作描写(Rocky在Kalish的手上坐了一会儿,审视着周围的环境。然后,她飞走了,落在附近的一棵松树上)
第四步 检查优化,整洁誊写
Kalish took the box carefully. She opened the box gently.The owl was standing in a cardboard box, looking straight at her.“I thought, this is a miracle! How did this bird survive this trip?” She named the owl Rockefeller, or “Rocky”.“She was super hungry,” she says, estimating that she probably had not been able to eat or drink for at least a few days.She immediately gave her water and food—a few frozen mice—which she ate quickly.A veterinarian examined her, and X-rays showed that she had no broken bones or inner damage.By Thursday, Rocky started to bathe herself—a sign she was feeling good.An owl bath, Kalish says, leads to “water everywhere”.
Rocky didn't look that terrible as she was in the box a week before. On Friday, Kalish moved Rocky to an outdoor practice cage so she could get used to new circumstance and Kalish could monitor her flight.By Tuesday at dusk, she seemed ready to go.Kalish brought Rocky to a clearing of nearby forest, removed her from her carrier and raised her toward the sky.Rocky sat on Kalish's hand for several moments, surveying her surroundings.Then, she flew off, settling in a nearby pine tree.

世界水日
Everyone needs water, and every drop is precious.On 22 March, World Water Day draws attention to the essential role of water in our lives.It also focuses on the difficulty many people have getting clean water.
每个人都需要水,每一滴水都很珍贵。3 月 22 日,世界水日提醒人们注意水在我们生活中的重要作用。它也关注许多人在获得清洁水方面的困难。
We all need water to stay alive, but about two billion people around the world live without clean water in their homes.That's around a quarter of the world's population.Many of them live in rural communities or in places where there are wars and conflicts.Meanwhile, climate change is making the little water they have access to less and less.
我们都需要水来维持生命,但全世界约有20亿人家里没有清洁水,这大约占世界人口的四分之一。他们中的许多人生活在农村社区或有战争和冲突的地方。与此同时,气候变化使他们能获得的少量水越来越少。
People may get sick from drinking dirty water.Thousands of children worldwide die every day from diarrhea caused by dirty water.In some countries, people walk many kilometers every day to get water, and sometimes the water isn't clean.If children spend most of their day walking for water, they can't go to school.
人们可能会因为喝脏水而生病。全世界每天都有成千上万的儿童因脏水引起的腹泻而死亡。在一些国家,人们每天要走很多公里去取水,有时水也不干净。如果孩子们每天大部分时间都花在取水的路上,他们就不能去上学了。
In 1992, the United Nations made a special day for water, and World Water Day has been celebrated on 22 March every year since 1993.On this day, many countries hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water.They try to find solutions to providing everyone in the world with clean water.
1992年,联合国为水设立了一个特别的日子,自1993年以来,每年3月22日都庆祝世界水日。在这一天,许多国家举办活动,教育人们了解脏水问题。他们试图找到为世界上每个人提供清洁水的解决方案。
Some charities organize fundraising events for World Water Day.Other groups organize events like “Walk for Water”, where people walk 4, 8 or 12 kilometers each day in March to see how it feels when they have to walk a long way to get their drinking water.People give them money to do these things, and all this money helps provide clean water to as many people as possible around the world.So,on this World Water Day, what will you do?
一些慈善机构为世界水日组织筹款活动。其他团体组织“为水而行”等活动,人们在三月份每天步行4、8或12公里,体验不得不走很远的路去获取饮用水的感受。人们给他们钱来做这些事情,所有这些钱都有助于为全世界尽可能多的人提供清洁水。那么,在这个世界水日,你会做什么呢?
