Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。

A light knock on the door brought me from my kitchen. Because we had just moved into the neighbourhood, I couldn’t imagine who it would be. Opening the door, an old man stood there, who was dressed in dirty clothing and wearing dirty rubber boots. His hand hung a plastic bag.

“Can I help you?” I asked.

“Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables?” His blue eyes were hopeful.

“Are they from your garden?” I looked inside his plastic bag and saw some carrots with soil.

“Yes,” His voice was soft. “And I can get some apples from a tree in my yard. Would you like some of those, too?”

My heart softened, and I wondered if he is badly in need of the bit of money. With a sigh, I said, “Please step inside and I’ll get my money.”

The next day, he knocked at our door again. This time, my little four-year-old daughter got there first. “Oh, hello. Would you like to come in for tea?" Without a second thought, the old man stepped inside and held out a broken basket with several bruised (擦傷的)apples. “From my tree,” he said, removing a worn cap. “You might like to make a pie. ”

The three of us sat at the kitchen table and drank our tea. It was obvious that my daughter liked hosting a visitor in her never-ending questions. “What is your name? Where do you live? Why are your clothes so dirty?”

The homeless-looking man laughed as he answered each question. His name was Mr. Locket and he lived around the corner. His wife had passed away several years before, and his children all lived far away. He was lonely. His need for company had sent him door to door selling fruit and vegetables. Ours was the only door opened to him that day.

Answer 1

【答案】When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day. Making his way to the door, he turned and waved us goodbye. My daughter excitedly waited for his visit and made full preparations. As the old man visited us the next day and entered the kitchen, he was amazed by all of the preparations for him. including apple pies. His eyes were filled with tears. We became friends and enjoyed the company this old visitor offered us. Later on, we kept in touch by writing letters, for he had become too old to get around.

Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man’s daughter. She informed us that our dear old friend had passed away. “I’m so grateful for your showing care for my father,” she wrote. “I can see how much you meant to him. Here is a letter from my father to you.” The letter goes like this, “Thank you for all your kindnesses to an old man. When I was lonely, you took me in. When I was badly in need of a family, you accepted me. My last few years are filled with happiness because of you,”

【解析】

本篇書面表達是讀后續(xù)寫。根據(jù)所給閱讀材料的內(nèi)容，在所給材料后續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。

通過閱讀所給文章可知，Mr. Locket的妻子幾年前去世了，他的子女都離得遠，他一個人孤獨地生活，為了排解孤獨他上門向鄰居推銷自己種的蔬菜和水果。作者剛剛搬來這個社區(qū)，Mr. Locket敲響了她家的門，并且請他進門，第二天他再來時還請他喝了茶，作者一家是唯一給他開門的鄰居。

續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，兩段都給了開頭，這就為寫作限定了發(fā)揮的空間，考生所寫內(nèi)容要能與所給開頭銜接自然，對考生是個挑戰(zhàn)。

第二段可以寫老人去世后作者收到了老人女兒寄來的信，寫信里的內(nèi)容，表達老人女兒對作者一家的感激，可以寫老人給作者一家的留言，通過老人的話來表現(xiàn)作者一家在老人最需要陪伴的日子里所做的一切，對老人的意義。
