四、读后续写
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
This was it.
Today was the day.
Finally, she would be able to see her again.
It’d been five long years. Her university days now felt like a lifetime ago. When Jennifer thought back
to it, she didn’t like the girl she had been then, but when she thought about Yui Fay, that discomfort
disappeared and her whole life lit up.
She couldn’t be more excited. She kept imagining their meeting – how they would run towards each
other, hugging and talking of the old times. As she imagined, happiness spread through her body.
It was time to get dressed. As she was struggling about what to wear, she spotted a red summer dress,
which she wore that night in Barcelona. She would never forget that night five years before. After a hard
week at university, Yui Fay and she spontaneously (心血来潮地) bought bus tickets to Barcelona. They
slept on the bus and then spent the whole day exploring the city. In the evening, they met these fun young
guys and spent the whole night singing and dancing. Every day with Yui Fay was fun.
After university Yui Fay went back to China where she took over her family’s business, while Jennifer
took the job in an office. They promised to keep in contact. But then life happened. The occasional calls
faded with time and they had not talked for over two years. Yet, of all her friends, Yui Fay was still the one
she felt the closest to. She knew all her fears, dreams, and her wildest stories. She knew that if something
happened, Yui Fay would be there for her no matter what. And vice versa. Some friendships just survive the
passage of time.
Yet the idea of meeting her was also terrifying. What if…? The idea was too hard to put into words.
What if the person she was so fond of was no longer? What if this dinner turned out to be nothing more
than a meeting between two boring businesswomen?
At that moment, her cellphone rang.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。很多外国人来到中国都会经历某种程度的文化冲击,文章对此现象
解释了原因。
16. 考查形容词性物主代词。句意:这个国家以其独特的文化而闻名,你将不会缺少新的东西去探
索和学习。修饰名词 culture 应用形容词性物主代词。故填 its。
17. 考查 to do 不定式。句意:这个国家以其独特的文化而闻名,你将不会缺少新的东西去探索和学
习。固定用法 things to do 要做的事情。故填 to explore。
18. 考查形容词。句意:中国的快速发展可能会让大多数新来者更适应这种调整。此处作 adjustment
的宾语补足语应用形容词,构成 make sth. + adj.结构。故填 comfortable。
19. 考查不定冠词。句意:语言障碍对外国人来说是一个很大的挑战。此处是第一次提到 challenge,
所以应用不定冠词表泛指,且 big 是以辅音音素开头的词。故填 a。
20. 考查固定搭配。句意:除了汉语普通话,还有数百种其他方言。apart from 意为“除了”,为固定
搭配。故填 from。
21. 考查副词。句意:在一些农村地区,令人失望的是,有些人甚至不会说普通话。修饰整个句子
作状语应用副词。故填 disappointingly。
22. 考查表语从句。句意:第二个原因是,即使现在的年轻人学习英语,教育系统并没有给他们很
多机会使用它。表语从句中不缺少成分和意思,所以应用 that 引导。故填 that。
23. 考查名词复数。句意:第二个原因是,即使现在的年轻人学习英语,教育系统并没有给他们很
多机会使用它。many 后应用可数名词复数。故填 opportunities。
24. 考查动名词。句意:这意味着,虽然很多人能理解简单的短语,但他们在说话时往往很害羞。
介词 to 后应用动名词作宾语。故填 speaking。
25. 考查被动语态、主谓一致和一般现在时。句意:在外国人最多的大城市以外,人们一般不会费
事把东西翻译成英语。在定语从句中,动词 find 和主语 foreigners 构成被动关系。此处讲述客观事实,
应用一般现在时。主语 the biggest numbers of foreigners 是复数。故填 are found。

四、读后续写
【范文】
Paragraph 1:
Jennifer took up her phone and looked at the screen. It was Yui Fay. She suggested Jennifer bring
more clothes as they would have a big project tonight. Confused though she was, Jennifer did what she
was told as always. She packed a few more clothes, the red dress included, and left for the appointed
restaurant. Yui Fay had not arrived, so she took her time to scan the menu and thought about what to
order.
Paragraph 2:
Just then, someone was coming towards Jennifer. Jennifer looked up and saw the face that she had
been dreaming these days. “Yui Fay!” She shouted excitedly and ran to give her a big hug. Yui Fay
smilingly hugged her back and told her what the big project was. “Let’s take a bus trip to Barcelona and
relive our adventure!” Yue Fay hadn’t changed a bit, still the wild girl she used to be. And Jennifer knew
immediately that it would be a great day.
Version 2:
Paragraph 1:
Jennifer took up her phone and looked at the screen. It was Yui Fay. She said that she would not be
able to come and meet her and asked for a rain check. Jennifer was shocked and disappointed. After all,
she’d been waiting for this moment for ages. Sad though she was, she had no choice but to agree. Having
hung up the phone, she aimlessly wondered on the street and ended up walking into the appointed
restaurant. The menu was filled with her favorite dishes yet she had little appetite for anything. She was
so sad that she was not aware of what would surprise her next.
Paragraph 2:
Just then, someone was coming towards Jennifer. She delicately patted Jennifer on one side of
her shoulder, slipped to the other side and said, “Is the seat taken?” Jennifer looked up and saw that
naughty, wild and adventurous face that had been carved into her brain. “Yui Fay!” Jennifer shouted
out excitedly. “Why are you here?” Yui Fay smilingly explained that she had followed her the whole
time to give her a big surprise. The rest of the day was great joy. It turned out that they didn’t change a
bit, neither did their friendship.
【文章大意】
文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了 Jennifer 即将要和五年没见的大学时期最要好的朋友 Yui Fay 见面,
重点描述了对过去生活的回忆以及她对见面场景的设想。
【写作指导】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“珍妮弗拿起手机,看着屏幕。”可知,第一段可描写电话的主要内容。
②由第二段首句内容“就在这时,有人向珍妮弗走来。”可知,第二段可描写两人见面后的场景,以
及即将要进行的大计划。
2.续写线索:Yui Fay 建议多带衣服——Jennifer 感到困惑——Jennifer 打包几件衣服——前往餐厅
——Jennifer 抬头看到 Yui Fay——Jennifer 兴奋地喊着——给予拥抱——告诉 Jennifer 大项目
——Jennifer 意识到将会是美好的一天。
