Question

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Mr. Taylor checked again: water, food, bandage, medicines, a compass, and a map wrapped in plastic... Bingo! He put all that he prepared for the coming hiking into his backpack.

Mr. Taylor was fond of hiking, this time in particular, for it was the first time for him to hike with his two sons, Harry and Joel. Joel liked reading books about explorers and Harry joined the hiking club in his school this term. “It will be an unforgettable experience, definitely.” he whispered to himself, unconsciously a smile spreading over his face.

Harry and Joel, however, argued for the first three miles of their hiking trip. Harry accused Joel of wearing smelly old shoes. Joel blamed Harry for using all of the bug spray(喷雾防虫剂). Harry told Joel he smelled terrible. Joel called Harry a coward(懦夫).

“Will the two of you just quiet down and enjoy our hike together?” their father said. “You’re missing all of the beautiful scenery!”

It was true. Neither Joel nor Harry had taken notice of the bear their father had spied at the start of their trip. They hadn’t looked up at the eagle he pointed out overhead. Worst of all, they hadn’t paid any attention to the turns and twists along the way while they continued their argument.

“Joel threw a stick at me!” Harry screamed. “That’s not true!” Joel shouted back.

Mr. Taylor could no longer contain his anger. “And both of you need to stop arguing!” he erupted. As he turned to face them, his left foot caught on a root. He slipped backward and down muddy bank, falling into the river that ran alongside the path.

Harry and Joel raced to their father’s assistance. They helped him up out of the water, and then dragged his wet backpack up onto land.

Fortunately, their wet-through father found himself just slightly injured.

Answer

Para 1.

But his glasses came off when he fell in the water. Harry and Joel waded back into the river. Twigs and leaves swirled around their ankles before floating away on the current. No glasses! Harry thought they might have been swept downstream. But Mr. Taylor couldn’t see without his glasses. Everything was a blur to him now. How could they get home? “Oh great! Now we’re lost,” groaned Joel, “and it might be days before someone finds us.” “No thanks to you.” Harry blamed.

Para 2

“Just calm down.” Mr. Taylor shouted, “Without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way.” Mr. Taylor fumbled in his backpack and pulled the map and the compass out. Luckily, Joel learned how to read a map from his books, and Harry knew how to use a compass from his hiking club. They stopped arguing, looked down at the map, searched for the river and used the compass to find the direction. In relief, Mr. Taylor beamed proudly, “You two will save the day. You’re pretty good hiking partners!”

【解析】

本篇考查的作文类型是读后续写。

前文主要讲的是Taylor先生第一次和两个儿子Harry和Joel一起徒步旅行。然而，Harry和Joel为徒步旅行的前三英里而争吵。结果后来惹得Taylor先生生气了，他的左脚被树根缠住了，在泥泞的河岸上滑来滑去，掉进了路旁的河里。两个儿子前去帮助父亲，还好浑身湿透的父亲发现自己只是受了点轻伤。在给的第一段开头中，“But his glasses came off when he fell in the water.”“came off”意思是“掉进”，第二段开头“Just calm down.” Mr. Taylor shouted, “Without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way.”此句中的find our way为关键词，因为后文都围绕这个词在说。

【高分句型1】

Harry thought his glasses might have been swept downstream, without which Mr. Taylor couldn’t see. Harry想他的眼镜可能被冲到下游去了，没有眼镜Taylor先生就看不见。运用“介词+关系代词”结构非限制性定语从句。

They stopped arguing and looked down at the map, so that they could search for the river and used the compass to find the direction. 他们停止了争论，低头看了看地图，这样他们就可以寻找河流，用指南针找到方向。运用so that引导目的状语从句。
