33、, worried and tired. She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts.

34、le they are still hot.” No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms. “I m sorry, mom, please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇读后续写。【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者因为和妈妈吵架跑了出去。之后他饿了，但是没带钱，幸运的是好心的店主给了她一碗面条，她因为感动而落泪。而店主知道后对她说，自己就给了你一碗面就让你这么感
35、激，而你小时候母亲一直在照顾你，为什么你不感恩，为什么？你伤害了你妈妈吗？店主的话让作者开始反思自己。续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：就那一瞬间，很多回忆涌入脑海，所以这一段应该写我的回忆。要详细描写妈妈是如何照顾我支持我的。第二段开头是：回到家之后，我看见妈妈坐在餐桌边，担忧又疲惫。本段应该写我回到家之后妈妈的反应，妈妈没有责怪我，反而在关心我。我因为愧疚向妈妈道歉，希望能得到她的原谅。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。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。【点睛】文章思路清晰，语言规范，段落整齐，语篇连贯，层次清晰。使用了较为高级的句式: when引导的时间状语从句When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. that引导的宾语从句I realized that I should return home immediately and say sorry to my mother.高级句式的应用提升了写作的档次，整个短文显示出了作者高水平的英语表达能力。
