Danger at Scituate Lighthouse

Rebecca stood by her father, looking out the windows of Scituate Lighthouse. Low sand dunes(沙丘) with sea grass topped the Massachusetts beach. There were no clouds in the sky—nothing at all to give warning of the danger that was sailing toward them.

"Now, Rebecca, " Mr. Bates began, gazing out across the open sea, "I want you and Abigail to help your mother and take care of things while I go to town for food and supplies. I won’t be gone long. "

"We’ll help, " Rebecca promised.

"I know I can count on you. "

Still, Mr. Bates looked a little worried about leaving the lighthouse. After all, peace between the US and the UK had not yet been declared, even though the war of 1812 was nearly over. Although English warships used to frequently attack towns along the coast—including Scituate—no English soldiers had been sighted for a long time. Besides, Rebecca thought as she watched her father set off, the family would soon starve if he didn’t go for food.

Her father hadn’t been gone long when Rebecca happened to look out the window at the ocean. What she saw nearly made her heart stop. It was an enemy ship: a small, light-gunned British warship. Calling for her mother, she grabbed her father’s telescope and could just make out the name painted on the side: La Hogue.

Rebecca, Abigail, and their mother stood together, frightened, as they watched the ship sail closer. Mother told the girls to watch the ship while she tried to sound the alarm and warn the home guard in the nearby village. The girls watched helplessly as the great ship drew near. Two small boats were lowered off the side, and Rebecca knew the boats would come ashore quickly.

It was time to run. As they ran down the lighthouse stairs, Rebecca suddenly stopped when she saw her fife(橫笛). Oh my! She thought. It just might work… Rebecca grabbed the fife and the drum(鼓) that Abigail had been learning to play.

Paragraph 1：

She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it.

Answer 1

【答案】She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it. They hid themselves among the trees. Peering through the trees, they saw the boats coming closer and closer. Taking a deep breath, Rebecca held her sister’s trembling hand and handed her the drum. “We’ve got to play ‘Yankee Doodle’. You know the home guard always marches to a drum and fife. Let’s make the British soldiers believe our troops are coming to fight.” Abigail nodded. Her face was white, but she gripped her drumsticks firmly. The lively rhythm of “Yankee Doodle” soon filled the air.

The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be coming from the confident American soldiers. They hesitated and slowed down the boats. The captain listened tensely, fearing that if his men landed on the beach, they would be walking into a trap, so he fired as a retreat signal. The sailors quickly turned the rowboats around. When the home guard arrived, they were amazed to find the La Hogue had already set sail. They congratulated Rebecca on her quick thinking to trick the British into leaving. Rebecca and Abigail’s bravery and lively music had defeated the enemy… without a single shot having been fired.

【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，文章講述了父親離開燈塔去找些食物的時(shí)候，麗貝卡發(fā)現(xiàn)了有敵艦駛來(lái)。

續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，第一段開頭是：She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it. 她和姐姐匆匆走出燈塔，來(lái)到燈塔后面的大沙丘上。所以應(yīng)該寫：她們藏在樹林里，小船越來(lái)越近。麗貝卡突然想到了《揚(yáng)基歌》，要讓敵人的士兵相信岸上有戰(zhàn)斗的軍隊(duì)。因此，麗貝卡和妹妹唱起了《揚(yáng)基歌》。

第二段開頭是：The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be coming from the confident American soldiers.英國(guó)士兵緊張地面面相覷——《揚(yáng)基歌》的音樂(lè)一定是從自信的美國(guó)士兵那里傳來(lái)的。所以應(yīng)該寫：英國(guó)士兵開始猶豫了，放慢了前進(jìn)的速度。害怕如果在海灘上登陸，會(huì)進(jìn)入陷阱，于是便撤退了。守衛(wèi)的士兵表?yè)P(yáng)麗貝卡思維敏捷，沒(méi)有用一槍一彈就打敗了敵人。

要注意所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右，按要求完成寫作任務(wù)。
