【读后续写】
I am 25 years old and some memories about Dad’s remarkable quality are impressed on my mind.
It was on a Christmas Eve when I was five years old that my dad upon arriving home from work,informed my mom and me that he would be working the next day,Christmas Day.
“WHAT DADDY? WHY? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WORK ON CHRISTMAS DAY?”
My dad,who was the manager of his work station,calmly explained that yes,although he was not scheduled to work,he volunteered to do so.
My mom was visibly upset.“Ren,you work on Christmas day every year.Man,you are not making any Christmas memories with these kids.” The rest of the evening we were discouraged.My mom and I were both very upset with Daddy.
I awoke on Christmas morning to the sounds of Christmas songs on our huge radio that was stationed in the living room.Mom and Dad were joking about something or the other there.She had apparently forgiven him sometime over the course of the night.
It was Christmas Day! I ran straight for the living room to wish my mom,dad and brother the merriest Christmas ever!After we all greeted each other,we began our usual Christmas morning ritual(仪式):Dad read the Christmas story.After the Christmas story,it was time to dig into the presents under the tree.It was the pink kitchen set,complete with tiny plastic pots,pans,plates,cups and a whole stove in it.It was exactly what I wanted and I was thrilled.
After breakfast,my dad departed.
My mom started on Christmas Dinner.I wanted to help her,but I was too distracted(注意力分散 的)cooking my own imaginary meal on my new kitchen set.But soon I was bored with that and I joined my mother in the kitchen.“Mom,why does Daddy never get a turn to get a holiday on Christmas? I asked.Being best friends,sometimes my mom told me things she probably shouldn’t.However,my mom did not give me a satisfactory answer this time.
The rest of the day flew slowly without Dad.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I decided to ask Dad why he chose not to celebrate with us every year.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【命题意图】高考英语真题中的读后续写多选自外刊,以记叙文或夹叙夹议文为主。本篇读后续写素材来源于《卫报》2020 年12 月29 日的一篇文章。文章标题是The other side of Christmas,作者是Thamar Jones。本文是一篇记叙文,文章讲述了作者的父亲圣诞节不在家过节而是去工作的故事。旨在考查学生的阅读理解能力、逻辑思维能力、想象力和语言表达能力,并培养学生的优秀品质。
【写作指导】
▲文章主线
已知线索:圣诞节前夕,父亲说圣诞节要工作,家人听到这个消息很不开心——圣诞节的早晨,“我”收到礼物很开心——早饭后,父亲上班去了——母亲在准备圣诞节晚餐,“我”百般无聊,想起父亲……
▲可续写线索
Para.1:根据续写原文最后一段可知,作者无聊地走进厨房,向母亲询问父亲圣诞节工作的原因,母亲并没有给出满意的答案。根据续写第一段首句可知,对“我”来说,接下来的这一天因为没有父亲的陪伴而过得很慢。所以,这一段应主要描述父亲没有参与当天的活动,“我”因为父亲不在而抑郁寡欢,渴望知道父亲不能在家陪伴“我们”过圣诞节的原因,和续写第二段首句照应。
Para.2:根据原文可知,圣诞节人人都想在家庆祝,而父亲每年都自愿在圣诞节这一天工作。同时,由“我”在圣诞节这一天收到自己想要的礼物可知,父亲很重视这个节日。那为什么每年圣诞节父亲都自愿去工作呢?结合原文第一段可知,父亲的优秀品质一直印在“我”的脑海里,所以这一段应主要描述父亲替别人着想。
One possible version
The rest of the day flew slowly without Dad.During lunch when we carved the turkey,Dad wasn’t here;at night when my aunts and cousins stopped by,he wasn’t here;when we were enjoying the laughter,he completely missed it.Christmas Day came and gone and I felt pitiful for my dad.For me,volunteering to work on Christmas every year equalled that I preferred to go to school rather than take Christmas vacation.I was puzzled about Dad’s choice.
I decided to ask Dad why he chose not to celebrate with us every year.Hardly had my dad arrived home the next day when I couldn’t wait to ask.Daddy’s response impressed me a lot.Christmas is a happy time with great memories filled with love and family.The other employees all wanted the day off.It was he,the manager of the station that should bear the responsibility.Only if he led the role could more people spend a happier Christmas.Dad’s selflessness quality has a lasting effect on me.
【范文赏析】
情节方面,范文保证了文章的完整性、衔接性、合理性和融洽度。(1)完整性:在原文第一段中作者采用了倒叙的方法,讲述了父亲每年圣诞节都不在家过节而是去工作,范文在原文的基础上描述了父亲没有参与当天的活动,“我”渴望知道父亲不能在家陪伴“我们”过节的原因,即父亲替别人着想。最后升华文章主题。(2)衔接性:范文情节衔接紧密,推动故事的发展。续写第一段首句说这一天因为没有父亲的陪伴而过得很慢,范文接着讲述圣诞节当天的活动,“我”渴望知道原因,因此询问父亲,和第二段首句衔接紧密,第二段父亲的回答解答了“我”的疑问。所以,范文环环相扣,层次分明,衔接紧密。(3)合理性:圣诞节全家团聚,而父亲因工作而不能陪伴,孩子为此不太开心,最后知道真正的原因后理解父亲。(4)融洽度:范文注重和原文的融洽。如范文第二段和原文第一段写父亲的优秀品质相呼应。
语言方面,续写第一段采用排比句表达了作者圣诞节当天对父亲的思念。completely,pitiful,rather than,be puzzled about,filled with,bear the responsibility 等词或短语的使用符合高考英语对考生3500 词的要求,和情节紧密相连,使用恰当。Hardly had my dad arrived home the next day when I couldn’t wait to ask.Only if he led the role could more people spend a happier Christmas.等倒装句式的使用灵活、地道。
