自實行新高考以來,讀后續寫這一新題型便成為廣大師生關注的焦點,因其分值占25分之高,在高考備考中不容小覷。在研讀完2021年讀后續寫真題A Mothers Day Surprise后不難發現,讀后續寫呈現“入口寬,出口窄”的特點,即文章原汁原味,話題貼近考生生活,考生閱讀基本無障礙,每位考生均有話可寫,但要拿高分,還必須有較強的英語寫作表達能力,能準確審題和合理構思、靈活運用詞匯和句型,方能取勝,不留遺憾。而在實際備考中一線教師多側重“續”,忽視了對原文的“讀”,以至考生語言和思路無法“快又好”地展開,與高分無緣。故此,本文以2021年高考續寫為例,“兩手”同時抓——兼顧“讀”與“續”,探討讀后續寫的提分策略。
一、精略交疊,儲備輸出
讀后續寫,顧名思義,先讀后寫,讀是續的前提和基礎,從原文中“讀什么”“怎么讀”直接影響情節的續寫,如果考生對文章一知半解就開始續寫就容易主觀臆想情節,節外生枝,偏離主題,同時在語言風格的呈現上也無法與原文達到協同,因此筆者認為,師生應從以下兩個角度去解讀原文:
1. 精讀語言,激活表達
原文語言地道,給考生提供了豐富的寫作素材,通過精讀原文中的動賓詞塊、形容詞等為接下來的續寫做好語言的鋪墊;同時細品文中句子結構,激活考生已有的高級句型表達。比如在2021年全國卷中就包含很多生動的詞塊:
(1)動賓詞塊
make French toast
boil the porridge
put some rice into a pot of water
left it to boil
broke two eggs into a plate
added in some milk
turned on the second stove burner
heated up the frying pan
started frying the bread
threw the burnt piece into the sink
put in the other slice of bread
turned down the fire
shooting out of the pot
starting to shake
put out the fire
turned off the gas quickly
clean it up
cook the rest of the porridge
touched the hot burner
gave a cry of pain
put his hand in cold water
(2)與情緒相關的表達
were filled with excitement
pleased and proud
panicked
stayed calm
surprise
a cry of pain
(3)與主題相關的名詞
kitchen /stair/bed
porridge /toast/rice/bread
egg/milk/water
plate/pot/stove burner/ frying pan/sink/steam/lid/gas/mess
這些詞或詞塊生動地描繪了兩個小孩自己做早餐時的情景,這在續寫第一段再次做早餐時能及時幫助考生拓展內容,寫出成功做早餐的畫面感。……
