Ⅰ 外刊输入——悟语言之道
Wildlife Teaches Lesson
It was March 9, the day after my 17th birthday, when I met Pigeon on my way back to my neighbourhood. Being the same as most other afternoons, nothing was unusual. My friends and I walked down the street, making plans for dinner.
All of a sudden, my attention was caught by what happened across the street. A bus had run over a pigeon (鸽子), leaving the poor creature struggling to take off. She reminded me of a toddler who could only move unsteadily, using her wings as arms to climb toward the edge of the road, but she made no progress. It was, without doubt, one of the most painful scenes I've ever witnessed.
On a whim (心血来潮), I rushed over to pick her up. The moment my fingers came into contact with her warm, soft body, something immediately struck me and flooded my heart like an electric current—the feeling of life and nature.
Observing the pigeon in my hands, I felt her heartbeat, I sensed her breath, and I received her warmth. Since she couldn't fly, I was aware that it would have been irresponsible to leave her there. After a moment of hesitation, I wrapped her in my shirt and brought her back.
I named her Pigeon and decided to give her a health check. Her feet couldn't stretch and support her body weight effectively. When I gently pulled her claws (爪子), I received no response. Her feet must have been badly hurt by the bus, and the only thing I intended to do for her was to provide her with a comfortable environment.
As soon as she was put inside a box I'd found, Pigeon was alarmed and struggled toward the darkest corner and curled up (蜷缩) in it. I tried to touch her again, but was rejected by her screaming and the flapping (拍打) of her wings.
My mind was filled with questions at the beginning. How on earth could such a quiet animal be transformed into something so unfriendly and attached to darkness? Then I came to realize that it was my fault.
After all, pigeons are wildlife. Nature is their home, the sky is what they long for, and freedom is their faith. How can I, a human being, be as significant as those things within just a few hours? To her, I am just another threat.
Many of us often think in a selfcentred way, and only when we think about others, including other species, can we live in harmony with nature. It also takes time to recover, both physically and mentally, and I hope that Pigeon gets well soon.

Ⅲ 读后续写入门篇:关注构思
读后续写要求“语言要模仿;内容要创造”。所以针对这个题型,解题需要分为两个步骤,第一是读:读懂要素和主题、读通情节和感情发展并读精、读深;第二步就是续写:首先要关注衔接,其次就要关注构思。
现有考查的续写文本为记叙文。基于文本特点,续写内容的丰富性取决于情节的发展。因此,要基于前文的阅读,进行合理的预测,进而发展为续写的内容。但是,不管情节如何一波三折,从开头到结尾,情节的发展一定要紧紧围绕主题进行。情节必须为主题服务,与主题无关的情节就属多余。
所以,可以按照每段三个层次,构思每一段的情节。
第一段 | 基于段首句,延续文章的发展 |
预测可能的故事情节 | |
根据第二段段首句,预测第一段的结束 | |
第二段 | 基于段首句,延续文章的发展 |
故事的结局 | |
升华:呼应主题——受到教训,得到启发,获得灵感 |
【典题精析】
阅读下面的材料, 完成以下任务。
Chito Shedden was a simple fisherman and tour guide from Siquirres, Limon Province, Costa Rica. He had a broad range of interesting facts about nature, which helped his business quite a bit.
The year was 1989 and Chito was walking along the banks of the Reventazón River when he happened upon something very strange. There was a dying male crocodile(鳄鱼). When he stepped up to carefully examine the skinny reptile(爬行动物), he realized it had been shot through the head and then left eyes.
He knew, dangerous as it was, he couldn't leave the poor animal there, alone and helpless. Chito acted quickly, calling for the help of several brave friends to load the heavy reptile into his boat. He knew if he could heal it, he would then send it back into the wild. He named the huge reptile “Pocho”, which means strength and began to care for him in his own backyard.
The kind and helpful fisherman started to heal Pocho with medicine, food, and more importantly, lots of care and attention. Chito fed the crocodile a steady diet of chicken and fish. He bought medicine to prevent infection (感染) and even slept by his side at night.
Affection was one of the most important factors. Chito gave him kisses and hugs. He talked to him and petted him.“The crocodile needed my love to regain the will to live,” he said. In time, Pocho improved enough to return to normal health. It was time for him to return to his own river in the wild. Chito and his friends loaded the crocodile back into his boat and set him free in a nearby river. The two parted ways and Chito returned home alone.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Chito awoke the next morning, and walked outside.

4.三推测——关注衔接,尤其是段首句定基调
(1)续写内容和原文的衔接
原文前两段:
Chito Shedden was a simple fisherman and tour guide from Siquirres, Limon Province, Costa Rica. He had a broad range of interesting facts about nature, which helped his business quite a bit.
The year was 1989 and Chito was walking along the banks of the Reventazón River when he happened upon something very strange. There was a dying male crocodile(鳄鱼). When he stepped up to carefully examine the skinny reptile (爬行动物), he realized it had been shot through the head and then left eyes.
可知,续写的内容应该集中于 Chito 和鳄鱼之间的互动。
(2)续写第一段和段首句的衔接
首先标出第一段段首句的关键词。
Chito awoke the__next__morning,__and walked outside.
说明这是Chito 把Pocho放回野外之后,在外面发生的事情。
(3)续写第一段段末和第二段段首句的衔接
首先标出第二段段首句的关键词。
A closer relationship was formed between__Pocho__and__Chito.
根据“closer”可知,Chito 和Pocho的关系更亲密了。这提示了下文,即Chito 和Pocho有更多的亲密互动。
(4)续写第二段和段首句的衔接
根据第二段段首句可知,Chito 和Pocho重新团聚。而且这种团聚源于Pocho 对Chito的爱。
5.四构思——每段三分天下
按照每段三个层次,构思每一段的情节。
第一段 | Chito看到了Pocho回来了 |
Pocho愿意和Chito生活在一起 | |
一人一鳄的生活很融洽 | |
第二段 | 描写一人一鳄的融洽生活 |
一人一鳄都从这种相处中受益 | |
升华:人类如果关爱野生动物,野生动物也会关爱人类 |
