2.命题规律及备考策略：
（1）命题规律
① 题材围绕三大主题：故事选材通常遵循“人与自我”、“人与社会”、“人与自然”三大主题。情感
描写必须符合特定主题下人物的真实反应和社会主义核心价值观倡导的正能量（如坚韧、友善、感恩、
鼓励）。
② 情感发展有迹可循：故事的情感线往往围绕“遇到困境（负面情绪）→ 尝试或获助（情绪转变）→
解决或成长（积极情绪）”的主线发展。情绪描写需要契合这一内在逻辑，体现变化过程，而非单一情
绪的点状呈现。
③ 描写方式多维综合：单纯的“I'm happy”这类直接表述很难获得高分。评分标准鼓励多样化和生动性的
描写。这要求考生综合运用：直接描写：使用精确的情感词汇（如 thrilled, frustrated, relieved）。动作暗
示：通过人物的行为（动作、神态）折射内心状态（如 "He slumped into the chair, sighing heavily." 暗示沮
丧）。环境烘托：融情于景，用环境衬托人物心情（如 “The gray sky mirrored her gloomy mood.”）。高
级句式：运用无灵主语（A wave of joy swept over me）、非谓语动词（Feeling nervous,...）、with 复合结构
（with tears glistening in her eyes）、倒装（Hard as he tried, ...）等丰富表达。
④ 紧扣首句与关键词：续写段给出的首句和原文中的关键词（key words）是情感发展的重要提示和限制。
情绪描写必须与之无缝衔接，保证故事的连贯和融洽。
（2）备考策略
① 构建分主题情绪语料库：
按照“喜悦欣慰”、“紧张恐惧”、“沮丧失望”、“感激感动”、“决心勇气”等情绪类别，有意识
地搜集、整理高级词汇、短语和地道句式。例如，积累“喜悦”的不同表达：直接词（joy, delight）；短
语（jump with joy, a sense of fulfillment）；句式（A wide smile spread across his face. / Her heart swelled with
happiness.）。
② 制作自己的“情绪词汇本”，并尝试造句或微型情景应用，确保真正理解并能运用。
③ 精析真题范文，模仿创新：选择历年高考读后续写真题（如2022 年新高考I 卷的David 跑步故事）及
其高分范文。重点分析范文中情绪描写的精彩之处：使用了哪种描写方法？哪些词汇句式值得学习？情
感变化如何推动情节？
④ 进行仿写练习：模仿范文的精彩句式和描写手法，用于类似的情感场景中，再逐步尝试创新。
⑤ 掌握情感描写的高级句式并进行刻意练习：有针对性地学习和训练用于情绪描写的高级句式。
⑥ 限时实战演练与复盘反思：定期进行限时读后续写训练（建议25-30 分钟内完成）。写完后自我复盘
或请教老师：情感描写是否贴合原文？方法是否多样？词汇句式是否准确丰富？情感变化是否自然合理？
特别关注批改反馈中关于情绪描写的部分，针对性改进。
⑦ 广泛阅读，积累地道表达：课余时间阅读一些简易的英语读物、短篇故事或新闻报道，关注其中关于
情绪和心理的描写，吸收地道的表达方式。做好摘录笔记，不断丰富自己的语料库。

二、情感描写高级句式
1. 无灵主语句

画面感极强。
① A wave of + 情绪名词 + swept over/washed over/came over + sb.
一股……的情绪向某人袭来。
例句: A wave of relief washed over me as I saw the ambulance arrive. (看到救护车到来，我如释重负。)

一种……的感觉充满了/淹没了某人。

感淹没了他。)

喜悦/兴奋/恐惧点亮/笼罩了他的脸庞/眼神。
例句: Sudden excitement lit up her eyes when she recognized the handwriting on the envelope. (当她认出信封上
的笔迹时，突如其来的兴奋点亮了她的眼眸。)

……的泪水涌上眼眶/顺着脸颊流下。
例句: Tears of joy welled up in her eyes as she held her newborn baby. (当她抱着新生儿时，喜悦的泪水涌上眼
眶。)
2. With 复合结构
用于描述伴随的情感状态或动作，使句子层次丰富，描写更立体。
① With + 名词 + 现在分词 (表主动)
例句: She gave a speech, with her voice trembling with excitement. (她发表演讲，声音因激动而颤抖。)
With +
②
名词 + 过去分词 (表被动)
例句: He stood there, with his eyes fixed on the ground in shame. (他站在那里，双眼因羞愧而盯着地面。)
With + 名词 + 介词短语
例句: The child jumped up and down, with a bright smile on his face. (孩子跳上跳下，脸上洋溢着灿烂的笑
容。)
3. 非谓语动词作状语
使句子简洁、紧凑，逻辑关系明确。
① 现在分词作状语 (表伴随、原因)
例句: Hearing the encouraging cheers, a new strength flowed through his veins. (听到鼓舞人心的欢呼声，一股
新的力量涌遍他的全身。)
例句: Feeling utterly exhausted, she slumped onto the sofa. (感到筋疲力尽，她瘫倒在沙发上。)

例句: Overwhelmed by curiosity, he opened the mysterious box. (在好奇心的驱使下，他打开了那个神秘的盒
子。)

4. 比喻修辞
让抽象的情感变得具体可感，是高分作文的亮点。
① 明喻 (Simile): using "as...as..." or "like"
例句: Her heart was pounding like a drum. (她的心像打鼓一样砰砰直跳。)
例句: He felt as light as a feather after finishing the project. (项目完成后，他感觉轻松得像一根羽毛。)
② 暗喻 (Metaphor)
例句: A storm of anger was brewing inside him. (一股愤怒的风暴正在他内心酝酿。)
例句: A heavy weight of sadness pressed down on her chest. (悲伤的重担压在她的胸口。)
5. 倒装句
用于强调某种强烈的情绪或状态，增强语势。
① 否定词前置倒装 (如 Never, Not until, Hardly...)
例句: Never had he felt such overwhelming joy. (他从未感到过如此巨大的喜悦。)
例句: Not until that moment did I realize how much I had hurt her. (直到那一刻，我才意识到我伤她有多深。)

例句: How he wished he hadn't said those harsh words! (他多么希望自己没有说过那些伤人的话！)
例句: If only I could turn back the clock! (要是我能时光倒流就好了！)

文。
Kevin was pretty bored. His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was
left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good
boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin
sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye.
Mrs. Hill’s front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green’s house across the street. The couple had both gone to
work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man
jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill’s home phone
and called the police.
Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do
something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill’s house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down
tree, he jumped in through the window. “Stop right there! You must leave right now!” he called out, holding the
branch with both hands.
The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief. “Hey, kid, put that
down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father’s watch was here,” he explained, trying to lift a
floorboard.
At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran
through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what
had happened. They pursued and arrested the man.
Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill’s house. Somehow he wasn’t sure he had done the right thing. “What if he has
told the truth?” he thought to himself. The man’s words sounded pretty convincing. 注意：

的短文。
I was sitting at work when I noticed a very untidy man standing in the lobby. He looked lost and possibly
homeless, or maybe even drunk because he was unsteady on his feet. I asked if I could help him. Trying to hand
some old papers in my direction, he asked if I could make him a copy of his military paperwork. I took the papers
very carefully from him so as not to tear them anymore than they already were.
As I made the copies he told me that he was a soldier and had been half blinded in a war. I was shocked, but
took a deep breath and simply replied, “Thank you for your service.”
He told me how he hated going out in public because he knew people thought he must be a homeless or drunk
man. I felt terrible because I had indeed thought the very same thing. The veteran went on to say that he was college
educated and had many hopes and dreams in the past.
Then I noticed he was holding a small brown paper bag. The bag was wrinkled and dirty so I offered him a
plastic bag for his paperwork. He thanked me and then asked me to hold out my hand. As I held my hand open, he
carefully opened up his bag as if it contained some rare treasure and then he placed two items in my palm.
My jaw dropped and my eyes filled with tears. This wonderful man had just placed his military medals into
my hand.
I thanked him again for his service and for blessing me with the opportunity to hold history in the palm of
my hand. He gathered his items and carefully placed them back in his bag and started to walk away. I saw him take a
few dollars and some change from his pocket. He turned back and asked if there was a grocer nearby so he could
get some food.
He explained he was diabetic (糖尿病患者) and he was getting shaky because his blood sugar was getting
low. Being diabetic myself I couldn’t let him leave alone.

篇完整的短文。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the
small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was
small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t
with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids
from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let
him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After
making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking
from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his
classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were
doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It
just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run
long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with
the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
