1.题型介绍
◆选材特点
（1）所需阅读的短文词数在350 以内；
（2）多以记叙文故事类文章或者夹叙夹议类文章为主，故事情节有曲折、有起
伏，但是，故事线索的逻辑性比较强。
◆评分参考
阅卷时主要考虑以下内容：
（1）与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度；
（2）内容的丰富性和对所给关键词语的覆盖情况；
（3）应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性；
（4）上下文的连贯性。
注意：
（1）所续写短文的词数应为150 左右（词数少于130 的，从总分中减去2 分）；
（2）应使用5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
（3）续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
（4）续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
2.考查能力
读后续写是一种将阅读与写作紧密结合的考查形式，旨在考查学生的综合语
言运用能力。与应用文不同，故事续写除了要求学生掌握丰富的词汇和句式外，
还注重学生的内容构思和情节衔接的能力。主要聚焦在以下四个方面：
一是把握短文关键信息和语言特点的能力。学生需要了解给定短文的主要内
容，清楚其关键词和语言结构的使用情况，并通过续写短文表现出来。
二是语言运用的准确性和丰富性。期望学生在词汇和语言结构的使用方面准
确、恰当，能够根据内容需要使用较为高级的词汇和语言结构，阅卷老师会感
觉这个学生很有水平。
三是对语篇结构的把控能力。考查学生对上下文逻辑关系的掌握情况，希望学
生续写的短文语句连贯、有序。
四是创造性思维能力。这是对学生续写短文内容得要求，期望学生续写的短
文具有较丰富的内容。该试题具有一定的开放性，要求学生详细和生动地描述
情景、态度和感情，符合课程标准的要求和学生的能力水平（刘庆思，陈康，
2016）。
3. 续写特点
读后续写，简言之，就是阅读完一篇还未写完的文章之后，根据要求和提示
把这篇文章未写完部分补充完整，使之浑然一体。它一方面很好地考查考生对
所学语言知识的实际运用能力，而另一方面，它也培养学生的发散思维能力。
根据《考试说明》该部分的规定，考生在续写文章时，要注意续写部分“与所
给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度”，“内容的丰富性和对所标出关键词语的应
用情况”，“应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性”以及“上下文的连贯
性”。根据这些规定，我们会发现读后续写有如下特点：
（1）读后续写不是随心所欲，是要在引导语（开头语）和提示词的帮助下
完成续写部分。如《考试说明》样题中规定“应使用5 个以上短文中标有下划
线的关键词语（10 处）”。这些关键词语类似于传统写作中的要点提示，如人
物、地点、事件，但是不同点在于这些关键词语并不是全用。这样考生可根据
自己的理解有很大的自主权。另外，所续写部分不能脱离各自段落的首句开头
语，即：不能另起炉灶。这些开头语与传统写作中的开头语类似，在某种程度
上引导你的思路向哪方面发展。
（2）续写短文多以记叙文故事类文章或者夹叙夹议类文章为主，故事情节
有曲折、有起伏，但是，故事线索的逻辑性比较强。这样考生能够根据提示词
语，顺着原来文章的思路续写文章，并适当发散。
（3）读后续写要求读写并重。与阅读理解题一样，读后续写同样需要对本
篇文章精确理解，这样所续写部分才不至于偏离主题，就这方面而言有点类似
阅读理解题中对文章后续发展的推断，如“What would happen next?”。
（4）所给文章的未完部分的思路和内容并不一定是唯一的，考生可以根据
自己对文章的理解，从而对文章的结尾有不同的诠释。如《考试说明》中读后
续写的样题的结尾，考生可以理解为这个年轻人是银行抢劫者，而Arthur 因此
成为一个大英雄；考生也可以理解为这个年轻人不是一个银行抢劫者，结果产
生了误会。
4. 续写步骤
（1）精读文章，确定文章线索。每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过
精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索，如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等，
这样有利于考生“顺藤摸瓜（结尾）”。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求。一般短文后面的“注意”都有对此次短文
续写的具体要求，如字数限制、使用几处下划线关键词语、续写段落的首句提
示，这样考生做到“心中有数”。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路。根据文章后面的要求，再次快速回读短文，
抓住文章的思路，结合段首的提示语，最终确定续写段落的思路，同时结合文
章划线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句。在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是
结合提示语或者文中划线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，
语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
（5）标出续写部分中使用到的原材料中标有下划线的关键词语。这一点可以帮
助考生自己检查关键词的使用情况并根据情况做出修改。最后在誊写文字时，
务必做到“字迹工整、清晰”。
5. 备考建议
面对读后续写这一新写作题型，在了解了其特点和写作技巧之后，考生只
要加以适度练习，对此新题型可以做到得心应手。
1. 充分利用记叙文故事类的阅读理解或者完形填空。考生在做此类文章的
试题时，读到适当的位置，可以短暂停止，根据已读部分文章的脉络，对文章
进行发散思维，设想可能的几种结尾，最后对照原文的结尾，看自己的设想是
否与原文一致。
2. 经常实施微型化训练，也就是对所读文章的某一段落进行设想。根据某
一段落的首句提示，结合文章的上文对该段进行合理设想，具体推断该段可能
要讲述的内容。
3. 与传统写作类似，续写文章更加要注意句与句之间的连接词，甚至是冠
词的暗示作用。如《考试说明》的样题中续写部分的第二段“the Police Station”
中的“the”表明在上一段中已经提到，同时后面的and 表明前后之间是并列关系。
4. 进行适度专题化练习。俗话说，熟能生巧。对于读后续写这一新题型也
是如此。通过适度地练习，可以进一步熟知该种题型的特色，更好地掌握该种
题型的写作技巧，更有效地调动传统写作的基础知识，从而写出一篇优美的续
写短文。需要注意的是，后续写补全的是语篇，而非单词或短语。
5. 在平时的教学中，老师要帮助学生释放创造力和想象力，激发表达动机。
综合以上分析可知，新高考更加重视考查考生高中阶段英语基本技能的掌握
情况，也注意考查考生进入高等学校继续学习的潜能，目标是利用高考命题的
导向功能推动新课程的课堂教学改革。
高中英语读后续写解题思路
1.通读全文，读懂原文
通读全文首先要解决好五个W 和一个H 的问题，即理清人物who、地点
where、时间when、事件what、原因why 及怎样发展how。
因此，文章大意就是，Mac 与好友一起骑行去阿拉斯加，路上同伴因修自行车
落后，Mac 独自一人前行，遇到狼的突袭，好一番搏斗，幸亏此时Paul 和Becky
两人开车经过，出手相救。如何发展(how)?这要看考生的想象力如何。
在通读全文时，考生应将影响语义理解的词句进行仔细揣摩，结合上下文推测
出它的准确含义。比如，A bright red cloud enveloped the animal，该句中的
enveloped 可以结合上下文，猜出它的含义大致为surround sb. or sth.
completely。
2.构思情节，谋篇布局
按照原文中事件发生的逻辑性，构思好情节发展，这个发展须符合情节内在的
逻辑。因为这不是写科幻小说，不是写神话，因此应该符合现实发生的真实性。
所以这个环节的主要任务是谋篇布局。
布局谋篇最关键应利用好两方面的信息：①十个标有下划线的关键词语，Mac，
friends，bicycle，pedaled，home，jumped，wolf，cars，climb，Paul。②续写部
分所给的两段落的首句。第一段第一句是：The car abruptly stopped in front of
him.第二段的第一句是：A few minutes later，the other two cyclists arrived.这两
句话起到很关键的作用，无论从时间的先后、情节的发展都要以这两句话作为
内在逻辑关系。很多考生将two cyclists 等同于Paul and Becky，说明没有读懂原
文。因此在情节的安排中，必须按照叙述的顺序，继续紧密结合原材料中五个
W 的逻辑顺序发展下去。第一段写什么?应围绕Paul and Becky 如何救助Mac 展
开;第二段写什么?搞清开头的这两个人是谁很重要，然后依照符合故事情节发展
的内在逻辑推进下去。第一段和第二段要衔接紧密，相互关联，不能独立存在。
3.理清逻辑，优化语言
这一部分侧重点为语言逻辑，词句结构都必须符合当时人狼大战的情景。写作
不必追求高大上的词汇，相反，朴实自然、地道、贴切的词语便是好的词语。
杨柳的美体现在纤细婀娜，樟树的美体现在挺拔繁茂，不同的写作对象应采用
不同的语言风格，必须采用适当的描写侧重点。个人以为，2016 年10 月高考读
后续写题可以比较倾向于心理描写;而2017 年6 月的高考读后续写题，建议考生
以动作描写为主，可以参考电影《速度与激情》中的画面风格，采用令人眼花
缭乱的动作描写，以超快节奏描写场景。
续写要抓住续这一核心，按照情节的发展进行延续，写作手法上必须以叙为主，
描写上以动作描写为重心，情节的发展合乎逻辑地推进。

A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no
money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he
took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was raining hard that afternoon and
there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark.
He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.
On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the
ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a
dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away
quickly, without taking the baskets with him.
The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the
baskets, an officer asked, “Are these yours” “Yes, sir.” the farmer answered timidly
（胆怯地）. “Have you killed the man” “No, no, sir.” the farmer said in a hurry.
“When did you see the dead man” “About seven last evening.” “Did you see who
killed the man” “No, sir.” The officer brought out a knife and asked, “Have you seen it
yet” “No, sir.” The officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up and
sent him into prison. the officer wanted to trap the farmer into the confession(供认),
but the farmer didn’t admit he was the murderer.

investigation, the young man was right. The police officer was sent into prison and
the policeman who beat up the farmer was fired, and the brave young man was
regarded as the hero by the villagers

I was responding to a call from a small brick flat in a quiet part of town. I assumed I
was being sent to pick up some party-goers，or someone who had just had a fight
with a lover，or a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for the industrial
part of town.
When I arrived at 2：30 a.m.， the building was dark except for a single light in
a ground floor window. Under such circumstances， many drivers just honk（按喇
叭） once or twice，wait a minute，then drive away. But I had seen too many weak
people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation.
Unless a situation smelled of danger，I always went to the door.
This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance ，I reasoned to
myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute，” answered a frail，
elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long
pause ，the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. She was
wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat ，like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her
side was a small nylon suitcase.
The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was
covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls ， no equipment on the
counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
“Would you carry my bag out to the car？” she said. I took the suitcase to
the cab ，then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm ，and we walked
slowly toward the cab.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It's nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat
my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

Paragraph 1:
Having given me an address, a hospice , she asked. “Could you drive through
downtown?” Asked why we didn’t take the shortest way, the small woman told me it
was the last chance for her to visit the city. We drove through the neighborhood
where she and her husband had lived. Besides, she asked me to slow in front of a
particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At last, she said she was tired and wanted to go to the hospice.
Paragraph 2:
we drove in silence to the address she had given me , and it was a low building,
where the old lady would live the rest of her life. Two nurses who must have been
expecting her came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. I opened the trunk and
took the suitcase to the door and the woman was already seated in a wheelchair.
When she asked how much she owed me, without thinking, I said nothing and bent
to give her a bug . It was my assistance that helped one of weak people realize her
wish.

My fiance (未婚夫) and I were excited about shopping for our first home. But our
funds were limited, and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.
One agent recommended a house in particular. Although her description sounded
wonderful, the price was beyond our range, so we declined. But she kept urging us to
have a look at least.
We finally did and it was love at first sight. It was Our Home, small and charming,
overlooking a quiet lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a
nice elderly couple, we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that
home. As perfect as it was, the price remained too high for us. But every day, we
would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to
live there.
Days later, we made a(n) offer—far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn’t
laugh at us. They renewed their offer instead. It was also much more than we could
afford, but far less than the original asking price.
The next day, we got a disappointing message that another buyer had offered a much
higher price. Even so, we decided to talk with the owners directly. We made our final
offer, which still was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer’s bid. We knew it,
but we had to try. Nobody knew if we could get it.

Paragraph 1
We went to the owners’ home after we made our final offer, the other buyer came to
visit the owners, he said the price he offered was much higher than ours, he begged
the owners to sell it to him, then the owner asked the buyer, “why do you want this
house?” the buyer said ,” because it is near the city, I want to buy it for investment. I
can rent it to earn money…” the owner thought for a while and then looked at him
and said, I’m sorry, sir, I can’t sell my house to you, because I am looking for someone
who truly loves my house, not just for money.”
Paragraph 2:
The owner looked at us and said, “ I want to sell my house to you!” then he
explained: He’d seen us sitting by the lake all those times; he knew how much we
loved the place and that we’d appreciate the years of work they had put into their
home; he realized he would take a loss by selling it to us, but it was worthwhile; we
were the people they wanted to live there. He told us to consider the difference in
the price “an early wedding present.” That’s how we found our home and how I
learned that when people are kind they are not strangers, only friends we haven’t yet
met.

A friend of mine, named Jack, received an expensive car from his brother as a
Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Jack came out of his office, a street
urchin(顽童)was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked. Jack
answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You
mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…”He
hesitated(犹豫),Jack thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the
boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother
like that.” Jack looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like
to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love to ,”the boy answered.
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind
driving in front of my house?”
Jack smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his
neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Jack was wrong again. “Will you

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at
2:30 a. m. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single
light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly
voice.
After a long time, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before
me. By her side was a small suitcase. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned
to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat
my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an
address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don't
have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long. "
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours,
we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked,
the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a
ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would
sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now." We drove in silence Lo the
address she had given me.
"How much do I owe you?" she asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I
answered. She said thanks to me, but she looked so sad.

a long pause, I drove the taxi to go home.
Paragraph 2
The next day, I was on my way to visit her. The old woman told me that she used to
be a millionaire. She became immersed in making money. She was the owner of a
particular building we saw last night. But she neglected her family. her only son died
one year ago because of cancer. She sold everything to save him, but failed. How
sad！ At last, the old woman said to me, “Life is short, but please be in no hurry.
Though everyone has to earn money to make a living, always remember that family is
the most important thing to you,” I said nothing but nodded hard.

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving
to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station( 加油
站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a
friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an
older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back
of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It
was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my
friend's .We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the
husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I
received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that
helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I
returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery( 电
池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership --- a shop selling cars ---
was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
