Question

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

I worked from the time when I was four and raised seven children, all of them college graduates. It seemed I’d done everything I’d ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn’t spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.

Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can’t read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.

By 1928, I’d been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. “Elzenia,” I said. “I don’t want the kids to know I can’t read or write.”

In 1938, one day my boss called me in. “George,” he said. “No one knows those machines like you do. I’d like to promote you.” But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, “Fill out this application and we’ll get you a raise.” I couldn’t admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn’t stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.

A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It’s information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I’m 98. I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn’t read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I’ve wanted to read. It was high time for action.

2.應(yīng)使用5個(gè)以上短文中標(biāo)有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)；

3.續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語(yǔ)已為你寫好；

Paragraph 1:

The young man drove me to ________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

I’m still going to school. ________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

Answer 1

【答案】The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me. Through chatting, I learned that they had all been longing to read and write out never had the chance to go to school. As the bell rang, in came the teacher, a woman well past forty. After a warm and brief greeting, we started our lesson. First we learned to read the alphabet and though I made mistakes at times, no one laughed at me. Everyone helped each other with open-hearted enjoyment.

I’m still going to school. Though faced with the most challenging event of my life, I’m full of courage and confidence. With the generous help of my teacher, friends and my children, I have made huge progress in study. Now I’m never shy about admitting the truth that once I was not able to read and write at all. Besides, I’m eager to encourage more elderly people to attend the adult education classes, because it’s never too late to learn.

【解析】

本篇書面表達(dá)是讀后續(xù)寫。通過(guò)閱讀所給文章可知，作者由于小時(shí)候生活窮沒(méi)有讀過(guò)書，成年后養(yǎng)家艱辛沒(méi)時(shí)間讀書，所以一輩子隱瞞自己沒(méi)讀過(guò)書的事實(shí)，98歲時(shí)看到成年人教育決定重返課堂接受教育。

續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，第一段開頭是：這個(gè)年輕人領(lǐng)著我進(jìn)入……，所以應(yīng)該寫進(jìn)入課堂后的所見(jiàn)所聞，即老師和同學(xué)們的情況。要詳細(xì)描述同學(xué)們都是渴望讀書的老年人們，都珍惜這次讀書的機(jī)會(huì)；老師的授課態(tài)度和授課內(nèi)容等。第二段開頭是：我仍然要去上學(xué)。本段應(yīng)該寫我對(duì)這次上學(xué)的態(tài)度，是機(jī)會(huì)也是挑戰(zhàn)。我充滿勇氣和自信，取得了大的進(jìn)步。文章最后希望更多的老年人去學(xué)習(xí)，活到老學(xué)到老。

續(xù)寫時(shí)要求使用5個(gè)以上短文中標(biāo)有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)增加了寫作難度，我們要熟悉所給劃線詞語(yǔ)，恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候加以運(yùn)用。最后還要注意所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；續(xù)寫完成后，請(qǐng)用下劃線標(biāo)出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)。按要求完成寫作任務(wù)。
