主题17.自然灾害面前的温情
一、主题解析
“自然灾害面前的温情” 聚焦极端环境下的人性光辉,是读后续写的高频主题。此类文本以地震、
洪水、飓风等灾害为背景,核心矛盾并非灾难本身,而是灾难中个体或群体的善意互动 —— 可能是救援
者用身体庇护他人的决绝(如汶川地震中士兵为强天林挡落石),可能是幸存者间共享物资的默契,也可
能是跨越十年的感恩追寻。
温情的体现具有鲜明特征:它往往诞生于混乱与绝望的反差中,如临时避难所里传递的热水、余震
中紧握的双手;它超越身份与血缘,士兵、邻里、陌生人皆可成为温情的载体;它更具有延续性,被救者
长大后成为救援者的转变(如强天林参军),让善意形成闭环。
这一主题的写作核心是 “以小见大”:通过动作细节(shielding from rocks)、场景细节(tents in
temporary shelter)和情感细节(teary reunion),展现灾难无法磨灭的人性温度,最终实现 “苦难中生长
希望” 的主旨升华。

[写作试题]
(2025 届福建省厦门市高三下学期第二次质检英语试题)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 morning, I asked Mom to take me to the pool. But she reminded me I’d watch kids for her as she got a
job interview at the radio station. Still, I asked, “Couldn’t Julie watch them instead?”
“She can help, Jess, but she’s only ten. I’ll feel better with a fifteen-year-old in charge, honey.” Mom gave
me a hug and off she went.
So there I was, stuck watching my five year-old sister Lyssa and three-year-old brother Dougie. I usually
don’t mind watching the kids, but the problem was our little rented trailer house(拖车房屋). It’s like living in a
barbecue cooker in hot days. Well, as is said, “What is, is.” and I decided to make the best of it.
We moved out into the front yard and I filled a paddling pool for the kids. I noticed that the sky looked a
little strange — greenish-yellow, with gray clouds rising for miles — but I didn’t think anything of it. As kids
jumped in the pool, I settled down to read my magazine. I put on headphones and turned the volume up loud
enough to block out their noise. Before long I got lost in a cool story.
I was almost at the end when Julie came over to me, dropping water on my article. I took my headphones off,
“Hey, what’s wrong with you? ” She pointed upwards. That’s when I saw the sky and about fell off my chair. Not
only had the clouds moved toward us, they were swirling(打旋). I hadn’t realized how much the wind had picked
up. A huge, gray-black funnel(漏斗)snaked down from the sky to the ground—a real, live tornado! And it headed
our way at a high speed!
Though I had learned about tornado safety, at that moment, the only thing I could remember was that a
tornado develops fast and that trailer houses are the worst place to take shelter. I tried hard to remember other safety
tips. Get low. Yeah. If you’re caught outside, find the lowest spot. Scanning around, my eye stopped on a line of
bushes.

【参考范文】
There was a ditch (沟渠) there for shelter, a hundred yards off. I quickly gathered the kids, yelling, “Run to
the ditch! As fast as you can!” The wind howled, and debris flew everywhere. Julie held Dougie’s hand tightly, and
I grabbed Lyssa. We ran with all our might. The force of the wind pushed against us, making each step a struggle.
When we reached the ditch, we huddled together. I covered the kids with my body, praying the tornado would pass.
The noise was deafening, like a thousand trains roaring. I could feel the ground shaking beneath us.
But in a couple of minutes, the tornado was over. The howling wind gradually died down, and the debris
stopped flying. I slowly lifted my head and looked around. The world seemed a bit surreal. Trees were uprooted,
and parts of the trailer were scattered. We climbed out of the ditch. The kids were shaken but unhurt. I felt a huge
sense of relief wash over me. As we made our way back to the damaged trailer, I knew we were lucky to be alive.
And I was proud of us for handling the terrifying situation so bravely.

[策略示例]
一、紧扣 “危机应对与成长”,锚定叙事核心
该试题的主题类型属于 “突发危机下的责任担当与生存自救”,核心线索围绕 “龙卷风突袭时,15
岁的作者如何带领弟弟妹妹、邻居孩子安全避险” 展开。这类主题要求续写内容必须紧扣 “危机应对”
的真实性和 “人物成长” 的合理性,既要符合现实中龙卷风灾害的场景逻辑,也要体现主角从 “不情
愿照看孩子” 到 “主动承担责任” 的心理转变。
从材料来看,前文铺垫了 “拖车房不适合避险”“作者学过龙卷风安全知识” 等关键信息,续写需
紧密承接这些伏笔。例如答案中 “Though I had learned about tornado safety... Get low. Yeah. If you’re caught
outside, find the lowest spot” 的表述,既呼应了前文的知识储备,又符合 “危机中调动已有经验” 的现实
逻辑;而 “我 covered the kids with my body” 的动作描写,则凸显了主角在危机中的责任担当,与主题中
“成长” 的内核高度契合。
二、遵循 “承接 - 发展 - 收尾” 逻辑,保证叙事连贯
读后续写的每个段落需严格遵循 “给定开头句承接 - 情节自然发展 - 段落意义收尾” 的结构,同
时两段之间要形成 “危机发生 - 危机结束” 的完整叙事链。
(一)第一段:聚焦 “危机应对过程”,强化紧张感
给定开头句 “There was a ditch there for shelter, a hundred yards off” 明确了 “躲避地点” 这一核心信
息,续写需围绕 “如何到达沟渠、在沟渠中如何避险” 展开,通过动作、环境、心理描写营造紧张氛
围。
承接开头:答案以 “I quickly gathered the kids, yelling, ‘Run to the ditch! As fast as you can!’” 直接承接
“沟渠可避险” 的信息,用 “quickly”“yelling” 等词瞬间激活紧张场景;
情节发展:通过 “The wind howled, and debris flew everywhere”“The force of the wind pushed against us,
making each step a struggle” 等环境描写,展现避险过程的艰难,同时用 “Julie held Dougie’s hand tightly,
and I grabbed Lyssa” 的动作细节,体现团队协作;
段落收尾:以 “I covered the kids with my body, praying the tornado would pass... I could feel the ground
shaking beneath us” 收尾,既完成了 “到达沟渠并避险” 的情节闭环,又留下 “危机仍在持续” 的悬
念,为第二段铺垫。
(二)第二段:聚焦 “危机后的场景与感悟”,传递情感价值
给定开头句 “But in a couple of minutes, the tornado was over” 标志着 “危机结束”,续写需围绕
“环境变化、人物状态、心理感悟” 展开,形成叙事的情感升华。
承接开头:答案用 “The howling wind gradually died down, and the debris stopped flying” 承接 “龙卷
风结束”,通过 “gradually” 体现场景变化的层次感;
情节发展:通过 “Trees were uprooted, and parts of the trailer were scattered” 的环境描写展现灾害的破
坏力,与前文 “拖车房炎热但平静” 的场景形成对比,同时用 “ The kids were shaken but unhurt” 交代
人物安全状态,缓解紧张情绪;
段落收尾:以 “I felt a huge sense of relief... I was proud of us for handling the terrifying situation so
bravely” 收尾,既呼应了前文 “不情愿照看孩子” 的初始心态,又完成了 “责任担当与自我认可” 的
情感升华,让叙事完整且有深度。
三、兼顾 “场景适配性” 与 “情感表达力”,增强文本感染力
读后续写的词句选择需满足两个核心要求:一是符合场景的 “真实性”,二是传递人物的 “情感
性”。该试题中,答案通过精准的动词、环境描写词和情感表达句,让文本更具画面感和感染力。
(一)动作描写:凸显 “紧迫性” 与 “主动性”
体现危机中的紧迫感:“gathered the kids”“yelling”“ran with all our might”“huddled together”“covered the
kids with my body” 等短语,用连续的动作链展现 “发现危机 - 采取行动 - 保护他人” 的过程,符合
“龙卷风突袭时反应迅速” 的场景逻辑;
体现危机后的状态:“slowly lifted my head”“climbed out of the ditch”“made our way back” 等动作,用
“slowly”“made our way” 等词体现 “危机后谨慎、疲惫但安全” 的状态,与前文的紧张形成对比。
(二)环境描写:营造 “紧张感” 与 “反差感”
危机中的环境:“The wind howled”“debris flew everywhere”“The noise was deafening, like a thousand
trains roaring”“the ground shaking beneath us” 等描写,用 “howled”“deafening”“roaring” 等拟声词和比喻,
将龙卷风的破坏力具象化,让读者身临其境;
危机后的环境:“Trees were uprooted, and parts of the trailer were scattered”“The world seemed a bit
surreal” 等描写,既客观展现灾害后果,又通过 “surreal” 传递人物对灾难的震惊,增强文本情感共鸣。
(三)情感表达:实现 “隐性铺垫” 与 “显性升华”
隐性情感铺垫:前文 “I usually don’t mind watching the kids, but the problem was...” 体现作者对照看孩
子的 “轻微抵触”,答案中 “I felt a huge sense of relief... I was proud of us” 则通过 “relief”“proud” 完成
情感转变,这种 “抵触 - 担当 - 自豪” 的情感线,让人物形象更立体;
显性情感表达:“praying the tornado would pass”“we were lucky to be alive” 等句子,直接传递 “担
忧”“庆幸” 的情感,符合 “危机中普通人的真实心理”,避免情感表达空洞。
四、把控 “词数限制” 与 “逻辑连贯”,确保符合规范
题目明确要求 “续写词数应为 150 个左右” 且 “构成一篇完整的短文”,这需要在写作中兼顾
“内容充实” 与 “简洁凝练”,同时保证与前文的逻辑衔接。
(一)词数控制:精准分配情节,避免详略失衡
第一段(约 75 词):聚焦 “跑向沟渠 - 在沟渠避险” 的核心情节,用 “召集孩子(15 词)- 艰
难奔跑(20 词)- 沟渠避险(40 词)” 的结构分配内容,既完整展现过程,又不冗余;
第二段(约 75 词):聚焦 “龙卷风结束 - 查看环境 - 情感感悟”,用 “环境变化(20 词)- 人
物状态(20 词)- 情感升华(35 词)” 的结构,确保每个部分有足够细节支撑,同时不超出词数限制。
(二)逻辑连贯:依托 “伏笔呼应” 与 “过渡词句”,避免断层
伏笔呼应:前文提到 “trailer houses are the worst place to take shelter”“learned about tornado safety”,答
案中 “parts of the trailer were scattered”“Get low... find the lowest spot” 分别呼应这两个伏笔,让续写与前
文形成 “问题 - 应对 - 结果” 的逻辑闭环;
过渡词句:第一段用 “The wind howled”“When we reached the ditch” 等词句衔接 “奔跑” 与 “避
险” 的情节,第二段用 “But in a couple of minutes”“As we made our way back” 衔接 “危机结束” 与
“返回查看” 的情节,避免情节跳跃。
五、写作策略:运用 “场景还原法” 与 “情感代入法”,提升创作质量
针对该类 “突发危机” 主题的读后续写,可采用以下策略确保内容优质:
(一)场景还原法:基于现实常识,让情节更真实
写作前需调动 “龙卷风灾害” 的现实认知:龙卷风伴随强风、 debris(碎片)、巨大噪音;避险需
远离建筑物、寻找低洼处;灾害后会出现树木倒伏、房屋损毁等场景。答案中 “ a huge, gray-black funnel
snaked down”“debris flew everywhere”“Trees were uprooted” 等描写,均符合现实中龙卷风的特征,避免出
现 “在拖车房内避险”“龙卷风持续半小时” 等违背常识的情节。
(二)情感代入法:立足人物身份,让心理更合理
主角是 15 岁的青少年,既有 “学过安全知识” 的理性,也有 “面对灾害时的紧张”;照看的是
5 岁和 3 岁的孩子,需体现 “保护弱小” 的责任感。答案中 “我 tried hard to remember other safety
tips” 体现理性,“praying the tornado would pass” 体现紧张,“covered the kids with my body” 体现责任,
这些心理和行为符合 “15 岁青少年” 的身份设定,避免出现 “冷静指挥如成人”“忽视孩子安全”
等不符合人物身份的情节。
(三)细节补充法:添加 “微小动作” 与 “感官描写”,让文本更生动
在核心情节中加入细节:如 “Julie held Dougie’s hand tightly” 中 “tightly” 体现孩子的恐惧,“I
slowly lifted my head” 中 “slowly” 体现危机后的谨慎,“the noise was deafening, like a thousand trains
roaring” 中 “like a thousand trains roaring” 用听觉比喻增强画面感。这些细节无需过多词数,却能让文本
从 “完成叙事” 升级为 “感染读者”。

成一篇完整的短文。
By nature, I’m a shy person. I don’t like to be front and center. I am uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations,
and I dislike being the “new kid” in a group of people. My retired husband and I had moved to California to be near
our daughter and her family. After everything was settled, I felt restless and somewhat lonely. When I told my
elderly neighbor that I still didn’t know anyone, she said, “Nobody is going to come knocking on your door. Get
out there and look for them.”
One afternoon, I noticed a small ad in our local newspaper asking for Support Volunteers to help out at the
fire department. Maybe I could do some filing or other office work. I called and was told they were starting a class
to train new volunteers. When I realized that everyone was going to be new at the same time, I smiled. I was
interviewed, and passed.
I was nervous on the first day. But as soon as I met the other new volunteers, I discovered this particular
group was made up of retired people with interests similar to my own. They wanted to be active and wanted to be
of service to the community. The Support Volunteers came from many different walks of life. Together, we made up
实战演练
an efficient, knowledgeable, and capable team.
When the training was completed, we were issued fire-department dress uniforms. Each of us was on duty
for twenty-four hours, one day a week, with a partner. While on duty, we transferred mail and equipment to and
from the city’s seven fire stations, and fire/police headquarters. We also taught businesses and the public how to use
fire extinguishers ( 灭火器) , and handed out fire-prevention information at community events. I became well
qualified for my service.
Although I initially joined the volunteers to meet people, I continued my satisfying work with the Support
Volunteers because of something that happened a few years ago.
In that particular summer night, in the place I lived, a large wildfire was burning, causing a threat to people
in the city. The department where I volunteered had been asked to gather up everyone to the shelter center in case
the fire lost control.

短文。
Winter and spring are always rainy in northwest Washington State. But this time the clouds outdid
themselves, dipping the town of Oso in twice the usual rainfall.
When the sun at last shone on Saturday, Anna’s three older kids ran outside to play with friends. Inside, Anna
nursed their youngest, four-month-old Kristian. Suddenly Anna heard a sound — like the roar of a jet. The lights
began to shine in an unsteady way. She rushed outside in time to see a half-mile-wide tsunami (海啸) of mud and
sand thundering down the hill toward them. Scared, Anna gathered everyone into the bedroom farthest from the
falling hillside.
Kris, Anna’s husband, a 31-year-old carpenter, was pulling woods with great effort when he got a hysterical
call from Anna. The mountain had fallen, she cried. Houses had been swept away. He knew it was the landslide.
The man sped back toward State Route530 and home. But traffic on SR 530 had come to a stop. The highway and
everything on both sides of it were covered with sand, fallen trees, and chunks of what used to be homes. A roof sat
in the middle of what had been the road. Kris jumped out of the truck and ran along the highway. Almost
immediately, the mud came up to his knees.
After stepping across fallen trees and pieces of walls, he heard a woman scream for help. As he followed the
sound through mud that was now waist-high, he found the river was rising. Soon he had to climb over the house to
reach the source of the cries, about 100 yards from the road. He finally reached a dark-haired young woman buried
under pieces of walls, furniture, and trees. Her head was bloody and she was holding a baby boy. The baby wasn’t
looking good, and the mother said she couldn’t feel her own legs. Kris kept her talking while he pulled away the
wood, metal, and furniture springs trapping the mother and child. At last, he was able to free them.

I woke up to the sound of rumbling (隆隆声). At first, I thought it was thunder, but then I felt the ground
shake beneath me. I sat up in bed, my heart pounding in my chest. It took a few moments for me to realize what
was happening — an earthquake. I had always heard stories about earthquakes, but I had never experienced one
myself. I knew that I needed to act fast to ensure my survival.
The room was shaking violently, and I struggled to keep my balance. I quickly got out of bed and tried to
make my way to the door. I stumbled and fell a few times, but I managed to make it to the door and open it.
As I stepped outside, I met with chaos. The ground was still shaking, and I could hear the sound of buildings
collapsing in the distance. People were running in all directions, screaming and crying. I knew that I needed to find
a safe place to take cover.
I remembered reading that doorways were one of the safest places during an earthquake, so I made my way
to the nearest doorway and waited there. The ground continued to shake, and I had never felt so scared in my life.
After what seemed like an eternity ( 永恒), the shaking finally stopped. I cautiously stepped out of the
doorway, looking around at the destruction that the earthquake had caused.Buildings had crumbled to the ground,
and fires were burning in the distance. I remembered that I had a survival kit in my car, so I made my way to the
parking lot.
When I got there, I saw that my car had been crushed by debris (碎片) from a nearby building. I realized that
I was on my own. I knew that I needed to stay calm and think rationally. I looked around and saw a group of people
huddled together across the street. I made my way over to them, and they welcomed me into their group.

A narrow escape
A holiday in Penang is an annual affair for my family. My parents grew up in Penang and are very fond of
Penang food. In December every year, we drive up to the island to spend three days visiting their favorite food
spots.
This year, we started our journey up north on a Friday morning. The drive was interrupted by stops at Bidor
Town and Kampar so it took us six hours to reach our destination. We stayed at one of the hotels in Batu Ferringhi.
The beach was just a short walk from the hotel entrance and our rooms had a lovely view of the sea. We spent our
first evening playing on the beach. After dinner, we returned to our rooms to play Monopoly. My parents have a
rule for our holidays which is that we should spend time doing things together. There was to be no TV and no
Internet.
The next morning, we went to Bukit Bendera and then spent the rest of the afternoon in town visiting our
favorite hawker stalls ( 小贩摊位). As we were having tea at a shop, we overheard people talking about an
earthquake near Sumatera, an island in Indonesia. But we didn’t care too much. Afterwards we headed back to the
hotel and then went to the beach. We took a walk along the beach, picking up seashells along the way. Suddenly, I
noticed a strange thing. The sea seemed to be retreating (后退) from the shore. I felt a little uneasy, so I asked my
father to look at the curious occurrence. My father took one look and went pale. We saw a grey line in the distance
moving towards the shore. It seemed to grow taller by the second. It was a tsunami (海啸)!

As Hurricane Lan bore down on Florida, many residents who stayed put found themselves unable to leave
even if they tried. For hours they were forced to fight heavy winds and attempt to escape flooding inside long-loved
homes that had become frightening, deadly traps. Within days, around 100 deaths in the state would be attributed to
the hurricane, many of them were older residents who drowned.
When the water slipped in under the door of their home, it was just a glimmer on the floor, a sign that it was
time to go. It was Wednesday, Sept.28, around noon, and Bishop woke up her two brothers, who had been resting
after lunch. She pulled the wheelchair up to the oldest, Russell, 67. Her other brother, Todd, 63, could manage with
a walker.
Both men had been born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), and their mental development was like that of a young
child. About 10 years ago, they started showing signs of Parkinson’s disease. But they found joy in their
surroundings. Todd liked collecting cans at the beach. Russell loved riding the bus and going to parks. Bishop, 61,
was their lifeline, their little sister who had long felt an obligation to keep them safe.
“We’ve got to get going!” she shouted to them. She went to open the front door. It would not move. The
weight of the water on the other side had made it shut. She rushed to try the door to the garage. It, too, was stuck.
That’s when the house began to flood. It went from ankle-deep to knee-deep in less than five minutes. Bishop knew
that there was no way out.
Now Bishop and her brothers were trapped. At 12:34 p.m., she called 911 but couldn’t get through. There
was no one she could get in touch with. To try her fortune, she texted a neighbor, Walters, who was always there
when neighbors were in need, “Water’s coming in.” Around her, she could hear the dining room hutch (餐具柜)
tipping and crashing, the china breaking, the refrigerator toppling over.

The only way to go was up, so Bishop guided her two bothers to the stairs.

Ken Scott kicked of the covers and leapt out of bed at his home in the Rocky Mountain town of
Mullan,Idaho.It was 6 a.m.on January 7, 2020, and he was on a mission: He’d just heard on the radio that the
nearby Silver Mountain Resort had been blessed with nearly a foot and a half of new snow. As a ski addict who’d
worked in the industry for the past 30 years as a ski patroller (滑雪巡逻员)and equipment salesperson, he didn’t
want to miss this perfect skiing chance. These conditions are what skiers live for-even experienced and skilled as
Scott, who, at 55, still skied 100 days a year.
When Scott reached Silver Mountain’s locker room, he ran into his friend Warren, 58, a former ski instructor
who had also been a regular on these slopes for more than two decades.
“Can you believe it?” he said as they changed into their boots. “Sixteen inches! Are you ready?”
For the next hour, the pair skied on various runs under a lightly gloomy sky, making fresh tracks. They were
both in a playful mood. Finally, they reached 16-to-1, an expert-level trail, which was now open. It had been closed
all season over concerns that skiers might cause an avalanche (雪崩). But that morning, patrollers had cleared loose
snow on the peak, reducing the chance of a snowslide.
“What do you think?” asked Warren.
“Let’s go for it!” Scott replied.
When they reached the top of 16-to-1, Warren excitedly looked back at Scott. The huge, toothy grin on his
bearded face was what he needed. He pointed his skis downhill and took off. So thrilled were they that they isolated
everything around them. Flying on the trail, despite the biting wind, their hearts burnt with passion for this great
skiing. Whoomph! A sudden roar from behind nearly deafened them.

When I worked as a nurse, I was on day duty while my workmates were on night duty. On one shift, I sensed
something just before going off duty at 11 am. I put down the tray(托盘) on the table and suddenly it fell off the
table. At first I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard
patients were screaming.
I realized that an earthquake was happening. I quickly caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly
frightened and pushed her under a bed. And then, I got under another bed myself. As soon as the earthquake
stopped, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the grassland,
where several other people had gathered.
Afraid that my other workmates were in danger, I went back inside the building again. When I met Lucy ,our
ward sister(护士长),I found her patient couldn't walk. We made a seat for the patient by linking our hands and
arms, and carried her outside together. We went back through the building to check no one was left behind in our
ward(病房).
Just then, we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go down to other wards with him to help
more people. So we went together. The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially covered with
rubble(碎石),luckily still alive. Suddenly, the aftershock (余震)struck and the doctor ordered us to leave.
The brave doctor intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse.

篇完整的短文。
When a tornado(龙卷风) touched down in a small town nearby,many families were left completed ruined.
Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered
the hardest.
One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely
shattered(破碎的) mobile home, a depressed expression on her face. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at
her side, eyes downward. Clutching(紧握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with
confusion and fear.
The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I
noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those
less fortunate than themselves. I stuck the picture of the young family on our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty
to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan.
“These poor people now have nothing,” I said. “We’ll share what we have with them. I brought three large
boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the
boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.
While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their
less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up old toys and games.
Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. She came to the
box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat, painted-on-face, gave her a final kiss, then laid
her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, Honey,” I said.” You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded seriously, eyes filled with held-back tears. "Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll
make that other little girl happy,too.”
Paragraph. 1:
The boys had watched,open-mouthed,as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box.
