Question

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

Anthony Ant had hundreds of friends, but sometimes he still felt alone. Anthony lived in an anthill in the crack of a sidewalk. All of his friends looked just like Anthony: small, and brown, with six legs and two wiggling antennas (触角). Every day, Anthony and his ant friends lined up to march out of the anthill and across the sidewalk to the tall grass. There they looked for crumbs and seeds to bring back to the anthill for supper.

“Why do we always have to stay in line?”Anthony asked. “I want to go into the grass on my own and see what there is to see.”

“I don’t know,” said Abby, a friend of Anthony. “This is the way we’ve always done it.”

“That doesn’t seem like a very good reason,” Anthony said. “I’m going to turn left up here at the maple root.”

And he did.

None of the other ants came with Anthony, because they always did what they were told.

On his own, Anthony had a much nicer view of the maple root. He could see all the way to a distant flower bed, where colorful blossoms towered over the grassy space.

Anthony decided to walk to the flowers, but after an hour of walking, they seemed just as far away as ever. He had never been so tired. He decided to turn around.

When he did, Anthony couldn’t see the path home. The grass had closed in around him，and he was lost. Usually he just followed the ant line in front of him to find the way, but now he was all alone.

Anthony walked in the direction he thought was home, but he was starting to feel scared. A bird flew overhead. Should he ask the bird for help, or should he hide? Anthony knew that some birds ate ants, but he couldn’t remember which ones were nice and which ones were hungry.

Answer

Para 1: He hesitated, wondering what to do. He remembered that he should turn left at the ample root. However, on the hillside stood a forest of ample trees. At which point should he turn left? He was completely at a loss. Never did he feel so lonely.

Para 2: He walked on and on, without thinking whether it was the right direction home. So tired was he that he lay down under the tree to have a rest. He was about to give up when he heard noises. Some ants were walking in a line, four of them carrying a large cookie on their shoulders. When they approached him, he could tell that they were his nest-mates, which could be judged from the familiar smell they gave out. One of them touched him with his antennas, asking, “Why are you here alone?” Anthony told him what had happened. Finally, Anthony followed his nest-mates and arrived home. Then he was aware why they had to stay in line when searching for food outside.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，蚂蚁Anthony 对于大家为什么总是要一起排队觉得很奇怪。一天，他决定自己单独出去转转。出发的时候他记得回来时要在枫树那里左转。他在外面走了一个多小时之后，感到很疲惫，决定转身回家，这时发现自己迷路了。

续写部分分为两段，第1段开头是：他犹豫着，不知道该怎么办。接下来应该写他想起来了应该在枫树那里向左转，但是山上是一片枫树林，他不知道是哪棵树那里左转。他感到很茫然无措。第2段开头是：他继续往前走，这时听到有声音。他看到一群蚂蚁向他这里走来，从他们身上散发出的气味， 他能够判断出他们是他同巢的伙伴，于是高兴地跟着他们回家了。他终于理解了为什么外出觅食要排队。续写时要先仔细阅读文章时，然后根据文章内容展开合理的想象。
