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。
When I was 13, I had an awareness that moms shoulder a lot of responsibility
without a lot of reward(这就是文章中心了吗？). My mom was no exception. She brought us to
Union Station to help us buy Christmas presents for each other-and for her. Because
of Mom, my siblings and I would get to experience the joy of giving. I wanted to
find her something special.(文章的中心就是家庭亲情，感恩与回报了)
The pleasant smell of chocolate reached my nose(无灵主语句) and I wanted to stay.
Normally, when we came here, the candy makers were what I wanted to see most,
but today I had a mission. So, we walked on. We explored many stores selling(现在分词短语
做伴随动作)jewelry, purses, toys, clothing and treats(名词并列), but nothing caught my eye. I
just wanted something unique for Mom. I didn’t know what, but I knew I would
recognize it when I saw it. Meanwhile, I wondered even though she promised to not
look while we went shopping, how would whatever I picked be a surprise?
All of a sudden, there it was, the perfect gift for her(可以理解为独立主格)! On one of the
stands sat a figurine of a lion and lamb(完全倒装句，其寓意是什么？) lying
down together.
(现在分词
短语做后置定语) It would go well with a drawing of a similar scene(非常合适的另一个原因，也就是伏笔) Mom
had hung on the wall. I had heard her talk about how long she had owned the
picture and who had drawn it for her. I knew it was very special.
I turned the figurine over to check the price and couldn’t believe my eyes. I
could afford it!(冲突点，解决) Mom didn’t know it, but I had put some extra money in my
pocket from babysitting the neighbor kids(刻画人物及解决冲突的点), so I had more money than
what she had given me. But she was standing nearby. No way could I make the
purchase without her knowing(进一步强化冲突). A moment later, she noticed the very same
figurine. I watched her eyes light up(刻画母亲的反应). She picked it up and turned it over.
注意:1.续写词数应为150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Then she put it down disappointedly after seeing the price.
Paragraph 2: I placed it under the tree and settled in to wait for Christmas morning.

to help us buy Christmas presents for each other-and for her. Because of Mom, my
siblings(兄弟姐妹)and I would get to experience the joy of giving. I wanted to find
her something special.
The pleasant smell of chocolate reached my nose and I wanted to stay. Normally,
when we came here, the candy makers were what I wanted to see most, but today I
had a mission. So, we walked on. We explored many stores selling jewelry, purses,

shopping, how would whatever I picked be a surprise?
All of a sudden, there it was, the perfect gift for her! On one of the stands sat a
figurine (小塑像)of a lion and lamb lying down together. It would go well with a
drawing of a similar scene Mom had hung on the wall. I had heard her talk about how
long she had owned the picture and who had drawn it for her. I knew it was very
special.

1. 读后续写分析
该文章属于家庭母子温情+感恩回报类读后续写，聚焦于家庭情感、成长体
验和节日氛围，强调人物内心情感变化和道德选择。
构思思路
情感导向：续写应围绕“给予的喜悦”“母子情感”和“圣诞惊喜”展开，突
出温暖与感动的基调。
冲突解决：母亲因价格失望放下雕像，需设计主人公如何秘密购买并制造惊
喜。
主题升华：通过细节描写体现主人公的成长（如责任感、体贴和理解母亲）。
布局与框架
段落1（承接开头语）：描写母亲放下雕像的失望，主人公的心理活动及秘密
购买计划。
段落2：准备礼物、圣诞早晨的惊喜场景，以及情感升华（如母亲的反应和主
题呼应）。
实施要点
保持原文第一人称视角和口语化风格。
使用细腻的心理和动作描写（如“心跳加速”“小心翼翼包装”）。
衔接原文关键词（如“figurine”“babysitting money”“joy of giving”）。
注意事项
承接原文：需延续“Union Station”“圣诞购物”“狮子与羊雕像”等元素；保持
母亲性格（无私、节俭）和主人公动机（寻找独特礼物）。
整体注意：避免偏离家庭温情基调；控制节奏，确保两段字数均衡；结尾需点
明主题（如“给予的快乐”）。
巧妙设计：可加入“包装礼物时的紧张”“圣诞早晨的期待”等细节增强感染
力；用环境描写（如圣诞装饰）烘托氛围。
2. 故事山模式与原文分析
故事山模式
开端：主人公为母亲寻找独特圣诞礼物。
发展：发现完美雕像但担心购买被发现。
高潮：母亲喜欢雕像但因价格失望放下。

5. Possible Versions(4)
Version 1
Paragraph 1
Then she put it down disappointedly after seeing the price. My heart sank as I
watched her sigh and turn away, her eyes lingering on the figurine for a second
longer(独立主格). I knew that look—it was the same she had when she sacrificed her
wants for our needs. As she moved to another
stand
, I quickly grabbed the lion and
lamb, my hands trembling(独立主格). I pulled out the extra money from babysitting,
counting
the bills under my breath
(现在分词短语做伴随动作), eyeing
her
position
(现在分词短语做伴随动
作). When the vendor handed me
the wrapped figurine
, I hid it in my coat pocket,
feeling
both guilty and excited
(现在分词短语做伴随动作). Mom returned with a forced smile,
asking(现在分词短语做伴随动作) if I had found anything. "Not yet," I lied, my heart pounding
with the secret(独立主格).
Paragraph 2
I placed it under the tree and settled in to wait for Christmas morning. Each
hour passed slowly, each one filled with the anticipation of seeing Mom’s face(独立主
格刻画人物心理). When
Christmas
morning
finally came
, the tree lights twinkling(独立主格), I
watched as she opened the small box. Her eyes widened, filling
with tears
(现在分词短语做
伴随动作). "How did you...?" she whispered, holding
the figurine like a treasure
(现在分词短
语做伴随动作). I explained about the babysitting money and how I had seen her love for
the drawing. She pulled me into a hug, saying(现在分词短语做伴随动作), "This is more than a
gift—it’s the joy you’ve given me." In that moment, I understood the true meaning
of giving: it wasn’t about the price, but the love behind it.
Version 2
Paragraph 1:
Then she put it down disappointedly after seeing the price. Her sigh was soft
but heavy enough to weigh on my heart(人物心理描写). Watching
her fingers linger on

and my mind raced for a way out. Pretending
to look at a toy stand,
(现在分词短语做伴随动作)
I gently asked my siblings to keep her occupied. When she turned to examine some
scarves, I slipped back, my heart pounding wildly(独立主格刻画人物心理). With the money I
had saved from babysitting, I quickly paid for the figurine and tucked it carefully
into my bag. Relief washed over me(人物心理描写), yet nervous anticipation lingered(无灵主
语句)—I had to keep it secret until Christmas morning.
Paragraph 2:
I placed it under the tree and settled in to wait for Christmas morning.
The
colorful lights flickered across its wrapping paper(环境描写), and my excitement almost
kept me awake that night. When Mom finally unwrapped it, her eyes widened in
disbelief. For a moment, she was speechless, simply tracing
the lion and lamb
with trembling fingers.(现在分词短语做伴随动作) Then tears welled up, shimmering
like tiny
stars(现在分词短语做后置定语). “How…?” she whispered, her voice shaking(独立主格). I swallowed
hard, trying
to look casual
(现在分词短语做伴随动作), but joy bubbled inside me. It was the
first time I had truly given back to her. In that instant, I realized it wasn’t just
about the gift—it was about letting her feel seen, valued, and loved, something
she had always given us without asking for anything in return.

her sacrifice again. Gathering
courage
(现在分词短语做伴随动作), I whispered to my sibling to
keep her busy while I hurried back. My pulse hammered in my ears as I paid,
each second stretching like an hour(独立主格刻画紧张心理). Tucking
the package deep in
my bag(现在分词做伴随动作), I prayed she wouldn’t notice. As we walked out of
Union

both the risk and the joy hidden
within

I placed it under the tree and settled in to wait for Christmas morning. The
night seemed endless, but the moment she untied the ribbon, time froze. She gasped,
covering
her mouth with both hands
(现在分词短语做伴随动作), her eyes glistening with
tears(独立主格刻画人物). Silence filled the room(环境描写) until she finally whispered, “This is the
most thoughtful gift I’ve ever received.” My siblings cheered, but I simply sat still,
overwhelmed
by the glow in her face
(过去分词做主语补语). For the first time, I realized that
giving could be more powerful than receiving, and love, when expressed in action(状
从省略), had the strength to turn even the simplest gift into something unforgettable.
