1、2020年暑假新高三英语增分专项突破+题型特训12语言表达类：书面表达之读后续写考试大纲要求考纲解读满分25分。提供一段350词左右的语言材料，要求考生依据该材料内容、所给段落开头语和所标示关键词进行续写(150词左右)，将其发展成一篇与给定材料有逻辑衔接、情节和结构完整的短文。(1)与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度;(2)内容的丰富性和对所给关键词语的覆盖情况；(3)应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性;(4)上下文的连贯性。考试说明要求要求考生在理解一篇不完整文章的基础上，充分调动想象创新思维，大胆预测文章缺失部分的内容走势，进行充满个性色彩的设计，并用英语进行续写表达。读后续写原文所提供短
2、文词数在350左右，划线词语涉及到名词(词组)、动词(词组)、介词(词组)和形容词等，其中，以名词(词组)为主，在续写中至少要使用5个关键词语，需要注意：在使用关键词语时根据时态和语态的需要，可以改变动词的形式，可以改变名词的单复数，但不要改变关键词语在原文中的含义和词性；多以记叙文故事类文章或者夹叙夹议类文章为主，故事情节有曲折、有起伏，但故事线索的逻辑性比较强。读后续写表现出如下特征：1.创造性：即发挥想象力，该题型具有一定的开放性，考生需用自己的语言对故事情节进行内容创造；2.逻辑性：即根据已提供的关键信息，按照可能的合理的方向续写，使文章逻辑结构完整；3.丰富性：即语言能力的充分体现，
3、词汇句法的准确与复杂程度，细节描写的生动性等都将让故事更加立体饱满。读后续写操作简便，通常的做法是从外语读物中截留一篇结尾缺失的材料，让学习者读后写全内容。此法用于外语学习，大致有以下优点(王初明，2012)： （1）释放想象力，培养创新思维能力。在理解阅读材料的基础上创造性地构思续写内容，必须发挥想象力，而想象力是创新的源头，续写有助于培养创新思维能力。（2）理解与产出紧密结合。如前所述，这是提高外语学习效率的重要条件。若要完成好续写任务，必须充分理解阅读材料的内容，同时接着续写，记忆新鲜，模仿容易，协同效应佳。（3）与阅读材料及其作者互动。续写时，学习者需要回读原文，以保持所写的内容和语言
4、与原文连贯，因而迫使产出和理解协同，如同与比自己语言水平高的本族语者互动，产生拉平效应。（4）创造性地模仿和使用语言。续写必须生成新的内容，在表达新内容遇到语言障碍时，可直接使用阅读材料中出现的词句，为写作纤困。这是一种语言模仿，但具有创造使用的特征：模仿阅读材料中的词语句型，表达自己创造的内容。学习者马上运用新学到的词语或进行熟词新用，不仅学得好记得牢，而且容易产生成就感，增强外语学习兴趣和动力。（5）在接触语篇中使用语言。语言的交际使用通常发生在语篇中，语篇提供语言使用不可缺少的恰当语境。在正确语境中学习语言能够抑制母语语境知识补缺，不仅使语言学得地道，而且有助于语言的后续运用。（6）阅读
5、材料有助于学习者自我纠错。阅读材料提供语言正确使用的样板，续写产生的协同效应使习作的语言向阅读材料的语言看齐，致使语言错误相对减少，教师批改作文的负担减轻。（7）适用于不同水平的外语学习者。阅读材料的难易程度弹性较大，适应性强。最易的读后续写可用于训练小学生，最难的可用于培训研究生。随着学习者阅读理解能力和写作能力提高，可不断调整阅读材料的难度以促学。（8）对外语学习和教学几无负面作用。坚持读后续写一两个学期，定能显著改善学习者的外语运用能力。（9）杜绝抄袭。续写使学习者难以抄袭，若有抄袭，很容易被发现。（一）准确理解原文，把握主题文章的主题或主旨是作者想要表达的中心思想，反映了他的写作意图，
6、是全文的灵魂，贯穿全文的始末，统领故事的发展，是学生续写的依据和方向。只有抓住原文的主题，续写的内容与原文主题才能相一致且合乎逻辑。否则续写部分就会与前文不一致，从而偏题。学生一定要准确理解所提供的材料，确保自己的理解与作者意图表达的相一致。在续写时，要紧紧把握主题，使文章主题前后一致，高度融合。这就需要学生了解记叙文的常见主题并学会判断主题。可以通过文章的标题、背景、主要情节、首尾判断，也可以从文章中的议论抒情句进行推敲。（二）理清人物事件及脉络要点要续写所提供的阅读材料，必须理清文章的脉络线索及人物事件，要对文中线索进行有根据、合乎情理又合乎逻辑的创造性推测，把故事续写下去。要抓住一篇记叙
7、文的脉络要点，通常可从记叙文六要素着手，即：时间、地点、人物、事情的起因、经过、结果，也就是when，where，who，what，why，how。这样可以了解故事的梗概，对文本的脉络走向有个基本定位。通常情况下，前面4个要素已经浮出水面，事情正处于发展中，悬念已经浮现。学生需要找出阅读文本中的悬念，并根据悬念发挥合理想象，顺应原文的情节发展进行预测，解开悬念，创作一个意料之外又情理之中的结局。（三）根据段落开头语确定续写方向，根据画线词语确定细节找到悬念之后，并非可以天马行空、随心所欲地想象，学生还需要仔细阅读后面两个续写段落的开头语，这两句开头语对续写起着方向性的指引作用，又有限制作用。因
8、此，在预测情节发展时，必须紧跟原文内容，紧密衔接段落开头语，才能保证续写内容的融洽度。学生通过研读这两句话，可大致预测出接下去会发生什么，而且第二段的开头语往往隐含第一段的信息，所以第一段的续写方向相对第二段会更明确。读后续写的画线关键词对续写起着限制和引导的作用，所以，在预测了故事的大致走向之后，学生需要将这些关键词结合到预测的情节中，勾勒出更加丰富的故事细节。（四）注意语言表达的准确性和丰富性情节构思完成，细节敲定之后就是语言表达的问题。跟任何写作一样，读后续写要求语言表达准确、流畅，上下文之间逻辑紧密，通顺连贯，结构和词汇丰富。这是一个长期积累的过程，但鉴于读后续写的特殊性，学生可以有意
9、识地积累。1.增强语法结构和词汇的丰富性英语语法在读后续写中有着非常重要的作用。丰富准确的结构、句式对于读后续写起着重要的保障。学生可以整理提炼读后续写常用的语法结构，如分词做壮语，独立主格，倒装句，强调句型，which引导的非限制性定语从句，虚拟语气等，在平时写作中要有意识地加以应用，使得句式更丰富。由于读后续写中大量涉及动作，尤其是肢体动作、情感及环境风景等的描写，平时要注意积累这方面的词汇和表达。例如哭这个动作，sob，weep，wail，tears well up in ones eyes，burst into tears都比cry形象生动得多。此外，阅读一些名著的简写本或当代小说，摘
10、录其中的相关句子加以背诵或者背诵一些美文佳句，运用在续写中，可以起到画龙点睛的作用。2.保持与原文在语言风格上的一致性既然是续写，就应该是一篇完整的记叙文，需要在各个语言层次的表达风格上和原文保持一致，达到水乳交融的效果。由于所提供的续写材料的语言风格各不相同，有的质朴，有的华丽，有的欢快，有的忧伤。不同的语言风格会用不同的语言，学生在平时训练过程中就要学会判断原文的语言风格并进行模仿，尽可能与原文用词相仿，句式相近，语气相通。总之，在续写时要注意词汇的不同时态搭配、用词的新颖和变换及语气的强弱，避免过于口语化的词汇。2020年1月，浙江卷，读后续写阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成

21、y is for Poppy!”【解析】这是一篇读后续写作文。通过阅读所给文章可知，文章讲述了男孩要去上大学，和自己的狗Poppy道别。而没有了男孩在家里，Poppy也非常想念男孩，于是男孩父母决定给Poppy买一条小狗作伴。续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：爸爸打开盒子，一条可爱的小狗出现了。所以后文应该是描写买来的小狗的样子以及这两只狗的相处情况；第二段开头是：几个星期后，男孩从大学回到家里。本段应该写男孩回到家以后看到两条狗的反应，以及父母告诉男孩这条狗是买给Poppy的。续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注

Then Joy turned to me, “Now, how can I help you?” I explained the situation and the occasion and told her that I also wanted a similar pair of diamond earrings for my daughter because I knew that Betsy would have loved them too. “How about some pearl earrings instead?” she said an
