③Britain, with an area of about 244,100km2 and a population of 66,000,000 is located in the northwest of the European Continent, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean.
二、“分步写作”表达准一点
读后续写情节发展合理化
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。
Be kind to others. I realize this is simple and very basic. However, it is necessary and it does make_a_difference. I often have people who cross my daily path to whom I can show kindness. It is often just a smile. A smile often says, “I see you. You aren't invisible to me. You are important.” People need someone to care about them.
I read a story many years ago about a man who had decided to commit_suicide. He'd lost a fortune, his job, his family and nearly everything he owned. He went to a local pawn shop to buy a gun. He planned to take the gun back to his apartment in New York City and kill himself.
As he was getting on the elevator, a little old_lady was slowly getting on too. She had a small cart she was pulling behind her and was having a little trouble getting it into the elevator. He said that he was actually a bit angry because he wanted to hurry_up,_get to his apartment and end his own life. He reached_out_to the old lady's cart and forced it as it had become stuck. He got it free easily and she got on the elevator.
After the door closed, she looked up at him with a big smile and said, “If we had more young men like you in this world, the world would be a better place. You are so kind to help. Such a sweet young man.”
Of course, it changed his thought of going back to kill himself. He wanted to go around New York and find people that he could help and people who were struggling even with something that was as small as the little old lady's cart.
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1:
That day, his life changed.
Paragraph 2:
Later, he enjoyed great success in his work and life.
[写作步骤]
第一步:速读全文
文本大意:一位年轻人几乎失去了一切, 所以决定自杀。他在乘电梯时遇到一位老太太,老太太行动迟缓,手推车卡在了电梯口。年轻人为了能快点到家结束自己的生命,随手帮了老太太一把,受到了老太太的赞扬。谁料想老太太的赞扬竟然改变了年轻人想要自杀的想法。
叙述意图:文章通过一个小故事彰显与人为善的重要性。
第二步:细读全文
1.所给短文情景模式分析。
who
I, a man, an old lady
what
A man decided to commit suicide. Later he gave up the thought of killing himself.
when
many years ago
where
on the elevator
why
He'd lost a fortune, his job, his family and nearly everything he owned. The old lady praised him for helping her.
2.对原文所提供的下划线词语进行分类。
★人物:old lady, family
★事件: kind, kindness, small
★动作与心理描写: commit suicide, hurry up, reach out to, change, make a difference
第三步:精心谋篇
1.Paragraph 1:That day, his life changed. 那一天,他的人生发生了改变。
[情节分析] 注意续写段首句关键词“his life
changed”,所以本段续写部分围绕变化写,续写还要考虑文章首段提到的“Be kind to others.”以及文中提到的“commit suicide”这一社会现象,并综合他自杀的原因:失去财富、工作、家庭等。还要提及他的想法变化的原因:kindness。因此续写第一段应该写做好事给他带来的变化。
2.Paragraph 2:Later, he enjoyed great success in his work and life. 后来,他在工作和生活上非常成功。
[情节分析] 第二段继续写具体在哪方面发生的变化,写作时注意关键词Later, enjoyed, success, work and life,即下文应该写将来的事情,要围绕工作和生活两个方面来写。
第四步:初写成文
Paragraph 1:
1.他开始和别人分享他的故事,很快,他发现自己成了一个很受欢迎的预防自杀的代言人。
He started sharing_his_story_with_others and soon, he found himself being a popular spokesman for the prevention of suicide.
2.他预防自杀的方法简单说来是这样的。
His remedy for preventing_suicide was simply this.
3.如果你想结束你的生命,你在最后的几个小时应该为他人做五个小的善举。
If you want to end your life, your last few hours should include doing five small_acts_of_kindness for other people.
4.那会改变你,你会意识到世间的美好,并决定活下去。
It will change you and you'll wake up to the goodness in this world and decide_that_you_want_to_live.
Paragraph 2:
5.他最后在一家公司找到了一份工作,月薪4 000美元左右。
He finally found_a_job_in_a_company and his income was about $4,000 a month.
6.他还帮助过一位曾经想自杀的女孩,最后两人结婚了!
He also helped a girl who wanted to commit suicide and finally got_married_to her!
7.现在他有一个幸福的三口之家,这都是因为他对那位老太太的小的善举引起的。
Now he has a_happy_family_of_three all because of the small act of kindness he showed to the little old lady.
8.他发现自己有更多的目标,过得比以前更幸福了。
He finds himself living with more purposes and living_a_happier_life_than_before.
9.只要有可能,他就会帮助那些生活中有困难的人。
Whenever it is possible, he will reach out to those_in_trouble in life.
第五步:润色升级
1.用高级词汇替换要点3中的include。
include→consist_of
2.用with an income of改写要点5。
He_finally_found_a_job_in_a_company_with_an_income_of_about_$4,000_a_month.
3.把要点9改为省略句。
Whenever_possible,_he_will_reach_out_to_those_in_trouble_in_life.
第六步:复查定稿
Paragraph 1:
That day, his life changed. He started sharing his story with others and soon, he found himself being a popular spokesman for the prevention of suicide. His remedy for preventing suicide was simply this. He said, “If you want to end your life, your last few hours should consist of doing five small acts of kindness for other people. It will change you and you'll wake up to the goodness in this world and decide that you want to live.”
Paragraph 2:
Later, he enjoyed great success in his work and life. He finally found a job in a company with an income of about $4,000 a month. He also helped a girl who wanted to commit_suicide and finally got married to her! Now he has a happy family of three all because of the small act of kindness he showed to the little old_lady. He finds himself living with more purposes and living a happier life than before. Whenever possible, he will reach_out_to those in trouble in life.

[话题感悟]
学习目标 ——语篇复现词汇,活学活用记忆更深
(加蓝词汇为本单元话题词汇,读文时请揣摩其用法)
[1] It used to be one of the world's most splendid train stations, sitting on the FrenchSpanish border — but then it fell into disrepair.Now, writes Chris Bockman, the building is showing new signs of life.
[2] The train station was built in iron and glass, complete with a hospital, a restaurant and living quarters for customs officers from both France and Spain.At the time it was nicknamed the “Titanic of the Mountains”.
[3] But after the day the station was opened in 1928 by the French president and the Spanish king, flaws quickly became obvious.The rail gauges (轨距) were different, so passengers still had to change trains.It made transporting goods too slow.In the early 1930s, as few as 50 passengers a day were using the station.And then things got worse.During the Spanish Civil War, the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels (反叛者) from bringing weapons in.Later, the French lost interest in the line.When a train derailed on the French side in 1970, that signaled that France abandoned the line.
[4] The grand building itself went to rot.The tracks rusted, the ceilings fell in with the severe winter weather and vandalism (故意破坏财物的行为) did the rest.
[5] But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it, claiming it was a major part of Spanish history.The French government has agreed to reopen the line on its side too.If all goes to plan, the “Titanic of the Mountains” could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022.It is reported that the massive wooden ticket counters at the station have already been restored.
语篇解读:本文讲述了法国和西班牙边境的一座火车站的历史变迁。
1.The following factors contributed to the shutdown of the train station EXCEPT ________.
A.its poor appearance B.different gauges
C.the Spanish Civil War D.slow transporting speed
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The rail gauges (轨距) were different, so passengers still had to change trains.”可知,轨距不同是造成火车站关闭的原因之一;根据第三段中的“During the Spanish Civil War, the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels (反叛者) from bringing weapons in.”可知,西班牙内战是造成火车站关闭的原因之一;根据第三段中的“It made transporting goods too slow.”可知,运输速度慢是造成火车站关闭的原因之一。故选A。
2.When the train station reopens, it may celebrate its _______ anniversary.
A.52nd B.72nd
