動作描寫
——影響事件發展的動作鏈

廣東 吳 翔

【問題導讀】

高考英語讀后續寫中的描寫主要包含外貌描寫、動作描寫、神態描寫、心理描寫等方面。高中英語新課標提出，學生要“能描述事件發生、發展的過程”，因此動作描寫的重要性不言而喻。在續寫中，動作描寫不僅可以推動情節的發展，突顯人物的性格，還與文章的主題息息相關。因此，在續寫時，我們如何在掌握故事的基本要素和情節后，有邏輯地定位前文的動作鏈且內化動作描寫的有關語言呢？我們又如何分析續寫兩段的首句信息，依據主人公的動作和反應提出問題并分析問題，在續寫時推動情節發展，最終解決矛盾呢？這些都是學生在面對高考英語讀后續寫時急需解決的問題。

【名師導學】

1.思考如何有邏輯地構建前文動作鏈語料庫，思考是否有行之有效的思維導圖幫助我們構建動作鏈語料庫，并思考如何在隨后的續寫中將其加以運用。

2.思考前文中的動作鏈是如何突顯人物的性格、推動情節的發展以及深化文章的主題的。此外，思考在續寫時如何體現這三點。

3.思考續寫文本中動作描寫的豐富性、準確性以及與前文的連貫性。

【案例導引】

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。

One fall, my wife Elli and I had a single goal: to photograph polar bears. We were staying at a research camp outside“the polar bear capital of the world”—the town of Churchill in Manitoba,Canada.

Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous. Polar bears—like all wild animals—should be photographed from a safe distance. When I'm face to face with a polar bear, I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens. But sometimes, that is easier said than done.This was one of those times.

As Elli and I cooked dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed,and smelled our garlic bread.

The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp, which was surrounded by a high wire fence. He pulled and bit the wire. He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.

Terrified, Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew. We yelled at the bear,hit pots hard, and fired blank shotgun shells into the air. Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off. Not this polar bear though—he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子).

I radioed the camp manager for help. He told me a helicopter was on its way, but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived. Making the best of this close encounter (相遇), I took some pictures of the bear.

Elli and I feared the fence wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the bear's punishment. The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray. The spray burns the bears'eyes, but doesn't hurt them. So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and, through the fence, sprayed him in the face. With an angry roar (吼叫), the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes.

注意：續寫詞數應為150左右。

文本解讀

一、扇形圖——梳理故事背景

“遇熊脫險”選自2020 年7 月浙江卷高考讀后續寫試題，該材料敘述了一對夫妻在營地露營時的一次脫險經歷。全文由三部分組成：遇險前、遇險中、遇險后。前兩段為第一部分，主要介紹了作者對“走近營地，拍攝北極熊”的期待與準備。第三段至第七段為第二部分，講述了作者與熊相遇、與熊對峙、給熊拍照并最終用胡椒粉噴霧將熊短暫驅趕的驚險過程。需續寫的兩段為第三部分，在續寫第一段中，被惹怒的熊重返營地，這對夫妻將如何應對？在續寫第二段中，千鈞一發之際，救援直升機到來，結局又將如何？以下扇形圖能有效地幫助學生精準定位文本的五要素（4W1H），以迅速梳理故事背景。

二、故事山——厘清故事情節

故事山是一種幫助學生了解故事結構的工具。故事山能讓學生在閱讀文本后厘清故事的人物、情節和事件，對文本有更清晰的了解。以下故事山能有效地幫助學生厘清已給文本的主要情節，預測續寫文本的情節。

三、ARE思維導圖——定位動作鏈

ARE 原則，即Action—Response—Emotion 原則。在故事中，角色A 的言行舉止會引起角色B 的系列反應，反之亦然，如此交替直至故事結尾。此外，不同角色的每次動作或反應也伴隨著不同的情感變化。在梳理了故事背景和形成基本情節的推進思路后，以下的ARE 思維導圖能幫助學生內化語言，以動作鏈為主，以情感線為輔，從而內化語言，為續寫做準備。

ARE思維導圖

四、ARE問題鏈——鋪墊續寫

在運用思維導圖內化語言后，ARE 原則下形成的問題鏈能幫助我們迅速了解主人公與熊的沖突，發現問題，分析問題，解決問題，并開始續寫。在續寫第一段中，故事的沖突是熊的行動和主人公的反應，學生在思考主人公如何應對熊的可能行動時，應充分體現出思維的邏輯性和創造性。在續寫第二段中，學生根據首句繼續運用ARE 原則進行提問，構思結尾，深化主題。在續寫時，學生可以利用以上的ARE 思維導圖中的關于人和熊對峙時的動作鏈，凸顯人和熊對峙情境的危險和緊急，推動故事的發展。

1.ARE原則下續寫第一段的問題鏈

Suggested questions:

Q1:Why did the bear come back?

Q2:How did the bear feel?

Q3:What would the bear do?

Q4:How would the couple respond separately?

Q5:What did“that very moment”mean?

2.ARE原則下續寫第二段的問題鏈

Suggested questions:

Q1:What might happen next?What would the couple and the bear do separately?

Q2:How did the couple feel when they saw the helicopter?

Q3:Years later,when the couple looked at the photo,how would they feel?

參考范文

Paragraph 1:

A few minutes later,the bear headed back to our camp.Then we realized that the spray had only angered him even more, for he seemed much fiercer this time and violently pushed the fence like mad. My heart raced wildly, not knowing what to do. At this critical moment, Elli grabbed several pieces of garlic bread and threw them over the fence. It worked! The bear stopped the attack and ran to the bread. But it wasn't long before he ate up all the bread and came back again.

Paragraph 2:

At that very moment, the helicopter arrived.“Thank goodness! We are saved!”Elli cried out.Once the helicopter landed,we got onto it in no time,excited and relieved.When we were safe on the helicopter up in the air, I was amazed to spot that the bear had finally torn down the fence and ran towards the food we left behind. I quickly took out the camera and photographed the rare scene—we were robbed by a polar bear!

【模擬導練】

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。

On a bright, warm July afternoon, Mac Hollan, a primary school teacher, was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends. One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon.As Mac pedaled (騎行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home.He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday.

Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him.“Man, that's a big dog!”he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn't a dog at all, but a wolf,quickly catching up with him.

Mac's heart jumped. He found out his can of bear spray. With one hand on the bars,he fired the spray at the wolf.A bright red cloud enveloped the animal,and to Mac's relief,it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac's bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again,it fell back only to quickly restart the chase(追趕).

Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to slow down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill,he'd be easy to catch up and the wolf's teeth would be tearing into his flesh.

At this moment, Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn't think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bikes on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now.

注意：續寫詞數應為150左右。

Paragraph 1:

The car abruptly stopped in front of him.______________________________________

Paragraph 2:

A few minutes later,the other two cyclists arrived.______________________________
