文体分类练(三) 夹叙夹议文
Passage 1 (2024 福建厦门三模)
主题:投稿被拒 词数:257 难度:★★★☆☆
As a writer,I miss rejection slips.Not that I enjoyed receiving those pre-printed slips of
paper,but at least when I got one,I was pretty sure that a flesh-and-blood
1
had put it in
the envelope.And there was always the chance I might see a handwritten sentence on the
bottom,
2
the piece almost made it.When an editor at McCall’s wrote,“I’m afraid I have
to say no on this
3
piece,but try me again on another,would you?” It was almost as
4
to me as if she had said,“We’ll
5
it and here is an advance for you.”
Nowadays,rejection slips seem to have disappeared with the use of online
submissions.Most editors don’t feel it a must to
6
they have received,read,or considered
your work because they receive so many
7
each day.
For me,there are three
8
of rejection slip pain.The first is
9
brought on by
finding a flat “no” on a
10
piece of paper,then followed by anger(how could they
11
a piece that is obviously so much
12
than most of the stuff they
print),and,finally,rebirth:I will live to
13
a new piece another day.
Learning to
14
rejection seems like part of growing up as a writer.Despite the
many letters of acceptance I have received,my folder of “Noteworthy Rejection Slips” is far
15
than that of “Noteworthy Acceptances”,which indicates to me the fact:I still have some
growing up to do.

18
.The sky was dark and the stars were
shining so brightly that I almost held my breath.As I stood under that splendid ceiling,I was
filled with
19
.

20
an app
on my phone a couple of months earlier,which
21
all the stars and planets.Together with
my daughters,I raced to the upstairs,where we had a perfect

Venus.Then we looked past Betelguese,a dying red supergiant star 700 times the size of
Earth,and many more.

looking at it.It became our

only did it help us
29
the reality,but for half an hour each day we got to

outside
our four walls.

swollen the rivers,filled the ditches and
34
puddles(小水洼)in the road.In addition to
this broken and fallen tree branches were everywhere.I was
35
home and suddenly saw
one of these branches had broken off a tree overhanging the
36
and fallen across it.It
was big enough to damage my car if I didn’t stop in time so I
37
on the brake and hit
my emergency flashers.
I got out of my car
38
and tried to pull the branch to the side of the road.This
branch was a lot
39
than I thought it would be.Inch by inch I
40
it off the
road.When it was finally safely moved to the side I

and smiled.Just then a little red
car raced around the curve(弯道),
42
a pool of water in the road and splashed my pants.I
shook my head and laughed at the
43
of it all.

44
with dirty water for our
kindness.When this happens just remember that the real reason you do good is because of the
45
inside of you.
