挖掘伏笔,捕捉可续写点
作者: 陈丽芳
【问题导读】
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的部分补充完整,使之浑然一体。考生在读后续写中往往存在以下问题:阅读原文时不知道如何挖掘原文中的可续写点为续写所用,续写时缺少与原文的合理衔接与连贯,续写的内容或角度严重偏离原文。在一篇完整的文章中,作者通常会围绕某个主题来写,在篇首或篇中设置伏笔,在这里,我们统称为可续写点,并在篇尾进行合理照应。可续写点往往出现在续写原文中,考生如果能深入解读原文,挖掘合理的可续写点,并在续写时适时照应,那么考生所续写的段落在语言、内容、逻辑上便可能符合原文基调。这种文理通顺、合情合理的续写段落往往能让阅卷老师产生心灵上的共鸣或收获意外的阅读惊喜,续写得分自然就提高了。
【名师导学】
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和伏笔,有利于考生“顺藤摸瓜”,从而顺利进行续写。以下是几种常见的寻找可续写点的方式:
1. 把握故事背景,捕捉可续写点
高考中的读后续写一般是记叙文,考生可以通过画表格的方式把握故事的背景:时间、地点、人物和事件。故事的背景都隐藏着故事的发展线索,通过分析故事的背景,考生可以找到情节发展的大致方向。
2. 厘清故事情节,捕捉可续写点
续写短文多以记叙文故事类文章或者叙议类文章为主,故事的情节曲折、起伏,但是,故事线索的逻辑性比较强。考生可以通过画思维导图的方式,迅速找到可续写点,从而顺着原文的思路续写文章,并适当发散。
3. 提炼原文主题,捕捉可续写点
主题是一篇文章的灵魂,是对写人、记事、写景、状物等内容的概括和提炼。考生可以用“何人何时何地做了何事,结果如何,为什么”的句式概括主题。在续写时,续写内容要时刻紧扣主题。续写结尾内容可以照应首段,达到首尾呼应、升华主题的效果。
4. 抓住关键词,捕捉可续写点
关键词是指在续写原文中多次出现、频繁使用、具有重要含义的词。续写的关键词是原文中反复出现或重点描写的特定物品或场景。如果考生能在阅读中有意识地留意这些关键词,并在续写中适时照应,那么续写段落在内容、逻辑和情节上就会更加融洽。
5. 品读续写首句,捕捉可续写点
读后续写不是随心所欲,是要在续写段落开头语的帮助下完成续写部分。所续写部分不能脱离各自段落的开头语,即不能另起炉灶。这些开头语与传统写作中的开头语类似,在某种程度上引导考生的思路。
【案例导引】
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I sat in the chair in our living room, staring at my parents, who had just given me the news that my hero, best friend and grandpa had Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默氏病). I did not want to believe it. Alzheimer's disease would slowly rob my grandpa of his intellect and his social abilities, severely enough to interfere with daily functioning. It has no known cure.
The thought of that happening to my grandpa scared me. How could someone who I love so much and who lived such a great life slowly lose his memories of everything around him? All I could do was cry and think of all the sweet times we used to have.
“Grandpa!” I called, as I ran at full speed into his arms just like every Sunday afternoon before. He opened his arms and braced for the leap. He was a strong man with welcoming eyes and never ending love. I was about six years old, and we had carried on this tradition every Sunday since I could walk. It was something I looked forward to when Mom said, “Get ready, we are going to Grandpa's.”
As we headed inside the house, I smelt the sweet smell of Grandma's cooking. Grandpa put his arms around me and gave me a tight squeeze that was all too familiar. Since my dad worked a second shift job and someone needed to watch me, Grandpa was like a second father and we had a deep connection. “I love you, Grandpa,” I said. “I love you too, my pretty Morgan,” he replied.
The dinner table was not just a place where we had a good meal, but also a place where we laughed together. We talked about the things that had happened since our last encounter and shared stories of the past. Then came my favorite part of any meal—dessert, which Grandpa and I shared an equal love. As always, Grandpa headed to the kitchen and I closed my eyes, put my arms across my chest, and waited. Being the curious kid that I was, I asked when he was coming back at least five times. He used that to teach me patience. We shared a moment no one else would understand.
Memories washed over me. As I came back to the present and reality, my eyes were watery. I rushed to his home to see him.

【参考范文】
Paragraph 1:
I was sitting across from him at the table. The fearful thoughts quickly swallowed me. I stayed there like a frozen wood. The cool wind from the window intensified my thoughts of Grandpa about whether he would forget me. After a while, I took a deep breath, adjusted my facial expressions and began to catch his attention. As usual, I shouted loudly “Grandpa!” Nevertheless, this time he just raised his head simply and stared at me with empty eyes, and without making any response. Gradually, my eyes were watery, realizing that Grandpa was different from before. In this case, I told myself that I had to do something for Grandpa.
Paragraph 2:
The role of grandchild and grandparent switched. I walked towards the kitchen, took off my coat and started to cook the dessert. Step by step, I finished it ultimately. When I put it in front of Grandpa, there seemed to be magic. Grandpa opened his mouth slightly and said in a gentle voice, “Thanks, my pretty Morgan.” Hearing these words, my heart seemed to be melted. From then on, I stick to cooking the dessert for him every Sunday afternoon. Although he may always forget who I am, I still show my greatest love to him because I strongly believe that love can break down all the barriers between us.
