高考英语读后续写深度解读（四）

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。

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.

We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.

His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.

In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a hose ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

续写要求：

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2.至少使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Paragraph1:

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.

Paragraph2:

We had no idea where we were and it got dark.

【思路点拨】

1.文本细解读，确定续写结局

本文是记叙文，讲述了“我”和父亲来到叔叔的农场去骑马的故事。到达叔叔的农场后，“我”感受到宁静美丽的农场生活：夜半听到水声和蛙声，清晨看到婶婶喂鸡，叔叔和爸爸骑马。因为羡慕骑马很酷，下午时候，在晚餐前，“我”也和父亲去骑马。叔叔嘱咐我们别迷路了，尽早回来晚餐。

续写部分应为故事的结局，即“我”们是如何会迷路以及迷路后如何重新找到叔叔农场的故事。

2.段首句解读，确定续写方向

续写第一段首句写道“突然间一只小兔子跳到了我的马前”，第二段首句写道“我们不知道我们在哪儿，而且天已经黑了”，由此可知第一段内容应着重描写“我”的马受到惊吓失控狂奔导致迷路的情形。可以设想：兔子惊吓到我的马后，导致它从路径上奔出，父亲因记挂我的安全，骑马也跟着我的马狂奔，等马匹跑到河边时候，我们发现自己到了个陌生的地方，这与第二段段首“我们不知道自己在那儿，而天已经黑了”形成巧妙衔接。续写第二段内容应着重描写我和父亲如何找到归路，可设想：我和父亲正着急时候，听到叔叔的呼叫声，最终和叔叔一起返回农场。

3.划线词解读，规划续写细节

1)分类划线词

角色——dad，Uncle Paul

事物——sheep

环境——river，track，farm house

动作——feed，get lost

其他——sight，late

2)构思具体情节

第一段情节：小兔子突然出现惊吓到马→马跑出预定道路（track）→父亲（dad）担心我的安全一路跟随→马跑到河边（river）停下，我们发现自己迷路（get lost）了；第二段情节：视野（sight）内没有熟悉的事物，不知农场（farm house）在何方→绝望时听到叔叔呼喊声→叔叔猜测我们遇险，赶来相救→一起安全返回家中。

Paragraph1:

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Its abrupt appearance scared my horse, making it run off the track wildly. I spared no efforts to hold on as hard as I could and my dad was trying to keep up, extremely worried about my safety. Fortunately, minutes later, the horse stopped before a river, out of breath. Relieved, we looked around trying to find the track. However, it was nowhere to be found. So aimlessly did the frightened horse run that we got lost unconsciously.

Paragraph2:

We had no idea where we were and it got dark. Nothing in sight was familiar and neither did we know where the farm house was. Just at the point of desperation, from the distance came a faint voice. “It must be Uncle Paul,” I exclaimed excitedly. That we didn’t come back for dinner made him realize something unusual might have happened. So my uncle went out to look for us. Finally, we reached our uncle’s farm house safe and sound.

亮点积累

1.词汇

abrupt adj. 突然的；exclaim v. 尖叫；faint adj. 微弱的

2.短语

spare no efforts 不遗余力；out of breath 上气不接下气地；safe and sound 安然无恙

3.提分句式

So aimlessly did the frightened horse run that we got lost unconsciously.

[分析] 该句含so…that句型。这个句型中，当so + adj./adv.置于句首时，句子会采用部分倒装。

[译文] 受到惊吓的马儿没有目的地瞎跑，结果不知不觉中我们就迷路了。

A Season for Mercy

Polly, my stepmother, suggested the sweetest name：Mercy. We soon learned it was just what this new puppy would need.

My parents’ naughty dog would jump out of bed and go-go-go all day long. So when they brought home a Christmas tree, they expected chaos. To their astonishment, Mercy didn’t seem to care. She paid zero attention to the tree suddenly growing in her living room. Nor did she react to the fancy presents under it, including a wrapped box of Milk-Bones.

Dad and Polly were confused—they’d never had a dog that didn’t force them to move everything to higher ground as if they were expecting a flood. But Mercy seemed oblivious (未察觉的).

A few days before Christmas, Polly awoke early, as usual. She passed the dimly (昏暗地) lit living room and then stopped cold. Glancing back into the room, she saw that every last present was gone. Only the tree was still there.

Had they been robbed? Why hadn’t Mercy barked? Where was she? Had the burglars (窃贼) taken her? Suddenly, Polly noticed a scrap of ribbon on the floor. Then a bit of torn wrapping paper a few feet away. Some glitter beyond that. The clues all made a trail leading toward the back door.

Polly turned on the light of the backyard. The perpetrator’s (罪犯) head lifted and froze. Alarm and guilt made her eyes wide. Oh, yes, it was Mercy.

She lay under her favorite tree in a nest of wrapping paper, chewed-up boxes, and curling bits of ribbon. Presents were pawed from their packages. Fragments of tissue paper mixed with the last remaining evidence of gifts.

Paragraph1:

Clearly Mercy’s self-control had failed. She’d silently carried the packages out the door so she could enjoy herself in private. Almost anything was gone, including cookies, chocolates, candy canes, and four pounds of Milk-Bones. Mercy was so lucky my parents didn’t punish it as it was expected. On the contrary, they were so grateful that they laughed off the ruined presents. Only one problem remained. With all the presents destroyed, my parents couldn’t know what gift people had given us, so how could they send out thank-you cards?

Paragraph2:

A few days later, Polly found Mercy guiltily licking a plate where a doughnut had just been. Polly took a photo of the shamefaced dog and used it to make thank-you notes. The caption read, “Thank you for the...” Inside, the whole story was explained. We all had to laugh. And everyone shared the sweet story. Mercy presented the problem, and Mercy provided the answer finally. It’s really a season for Mercy.
