It was my junior year of undergraduate，and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters，endings that satisfied the story even if they didn't have a traditionally positive outcome.Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them. This was an ah­ha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I'd pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn't guess, I'd pick up a mystery(悬疑)．One where I kind of knew what was going to happen，historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end － that's hard. It's hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable, but doesn't seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what's right for the characters. 　　That's why this issue (期) of Writer's Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you're doing. If it's short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work. This issue won't tell you what your ending should be － that's up to you and the story you're telling － but it might provide what you need to get there. 1.Why did the author go to Prof.Gracie？ A.To discuss a novel. B.To submit a book report. C.To argue for a writer. D.To ask for a reading list. 2.What did the author realize after seeing Prof.Gracie？ A.Writing is a matter of personal preferences. B.Readers are often carried away by characters. C.Each type of literature has its unique ending. D.A story which begins well will end well. 3.What is expected of a good ending？ A.It satisfies readers' taste. B.It fits with the story development. C.It is usually positive. D.It is open for imagination. 4.Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims？ A.To give examples of great novelists. B.To stress the theme of this issue. C.To encourage writing for the magazine. D.To recommend their new books. [语篇解读]　文章主要讲述了如何续写故事结尾，围绕文学作品结尾的创作进行探讨，为学生平时欣赏文学作品和开展写作练习提供了有益建议。 1．A　[细节理解题。由第一段内容可知，作者在大学三年级时正在进行一项关于维多利亚文学的独立研究，并刚刚读完乔治·艾略特的《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》。他去找教授讨论小说的结局。] 2．C　[推理判断题。由第二段内容可知，作者在教授的启发下意识到，不同类型的文学作品有其特有的结局。如果想要读一个结局保证是幸福的，就读爱情小说；如果想要一个猜不出的结局，就读悬疑小说。每种类型的文学作品都有其独特的结局。] 3．B　[细节理解题。由第三段内容可知，一个好的结局需要平衡创造性和不可预测性，同时又不能显得突兀，还需要符合角色的发展。] 4．B　[推理判断题。由第四段内容可知，作者提到Peter Mountford和Elizabeth Sims是为了说明本期Writer's Digest杂志的主题，即帮助读者了解如何写出一个好的结尾。] ◆素材积累 (一)由文本积累主题词块 1．an independent study 　独立研究　 2．be heartbroken with 　对……感到心碎　 3．with all one's patience 　竭尽耐心　 4．a positive outcome　积极的/正能量的结局　 5．the same way 　采用同样的方法　 6．come from nowhere　无中生有，不知从哪里冒出来的　 (二)由文本积累阅读词汇 1．junior year of undergraduate 　本科三年级　 2．unpredictable adj.　不可预测的　 3．a love romance　一部爱情罗曼史　 4．technique n. 　技巧，技术，技能　 5．kind of 　稍微，有点儿，有几分　 6．traditionally adv. 　传统地　 7．historical adj. 　历史的　 8．fiction n．　科幻小说　 (三)由文本辨熟词生义(将词义对应的字母填到横线上) 1．carry A．支撑，承载　　　　　　B．携带，佩戴 C．传输，表达 D.承担，承受 ①Police in many countries carry guns.　 B　 ②The delegation was carrying a message of thanks to the Chinese people.　 C　 ③He has been appointed to carry the department work.　 D　 ④The old bridge is still in use，carrying a lot of traffic. 　 A　 2．satisfy A．使(某人)满足，满意　　B．满足(要求、需要) C．使确信 ①The people in that country need to be satisfied of the need for reform.　 C　 ②The education system must satisfy the needs of all children.　 B　 ③The proposed plan will not satisfy everyone.　 A　 ◆素养提升(阅读理解之隐含推断题) 阅读理解的隐含推断题的解决有一定的难度，但并非无路可循。千变万化，离不开话题。本文的话题是故事的“ending”，从而第2题的选项锁定C和D两个选项。再根据文章语境内容没涉及到D中的故事开头“begin”，可以排除。故选C项。 ◆[针对训练]　(2025·全国二卷阅读D)Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. What can be inferred about the author's early life? A．He witnessed food shortage. B．He enjoyed the local cuisine. C．He donated food to Africans. D．He helped to cook at home. 解析：A　[推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase ‘there are children starving in Africa’ was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. (这种感觉或许源于在南非的成长经历——在那里，‘非洲还有孩子在挨饿’ 这句话与其说是晚餐时的祈祷，不如说是对现实令人不安的提醒。)” 可知，作者在南非长大，那里有孩子挨饿是事实，由此可推断作者早年目睹了食物短缺的情况。] 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
