新高考在山东省已经实行三年了。
2020 年全国新高考Ⅰ卷读后续写考查的主题语境是人与社会，kindness 话题。所给文本讲述的是 Meredith 一家帮助 Bernard 赚钱补贴家用的故事；2021 年考查的主题语境是人与社会，family love 话题。所给文本讲述的是一对双胞胎在母亲节的早晨在爸爸的帮助下为母亲做早餐。2022 年考查的主题语境是人与自我，personal growth 话题。所给文本讲述了患有脑疾的少年 David 战胜自我参加赛跑的故事。
这三年没有考过脱险和人与动物的话题。另外，人与自我主题语境中，青少年的个人成长话题包括的角度很多，是读后续写考查的重点。基于多年教学经验和对历年高考题的研究，笔者大胆预测，2023 年高考英语全国新高考Ⅰ卷读后续写考查这两个方向的话题可能性较大。
所以，笔者选择了以下两篇文章。第一篇是小猫帮助主人脱险。第二篇是关于诚实的个人成长话题。
（一）
The Christmas holidays were fast approaching, and we had ordered many gifts online. So, when the doorbell rang, I was sure some of the packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful calico kitten（杂色猫）sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes.There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there? We figured that someone had found the kitten somewhere and left her there, and then the person rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed we would welcome an additional family member and take care of her. My husband called her our little angel, so we named her Angelica accordingly. She had a calm aura（ 气 质 ）about her as she walked straight into our home and hearts, fitting in perfectly. It seemed as if she was always meant to be in this big house with us. She was an old soul and turned out to be the perfect companion. Always by my side, she was more like a puppy than a kitten. Wise beyond her years, she enjoyed wandering through the tunnels and mysterious rooms as much as I did, but with much less fear. Angelica the calico was courageous. So, I learned from her and decided to be brave, too. There was an underground stone cellar（地窖）I had been eager to explore. The only way in was down a rickety（摇晃的）ladder to its dark depths. I guessed it was an old root cellar, probably twelve feet deep. I had promised my husband that I wouldn’t explore dangerous areas unless he or someone else was around. Though I knew I was sort of afraid, I figured that Angelica would count as my companion. I was ready to explore this cellar, and so was she. I equipped myself with a good flashlight and warm clothes and carefully started down the rickety ladder while Angelica was looking down at me from above. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. Faint cracks and a sudden crash were what I could remember. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Paragraph 2: It seemed my companion, Angelica,was my last hope. |
文本分析：
本篇故事主题语境为人与自然。故事主要内容为：“我们”捡到了一只杂色猫，它聪明，可爱，爱探险。“我们”把它看作最好的伙伴。在它的影响下，“我”冒险去了丈夫一直不准“我”去的地窖。结果，“我”摔进了地窖。最终在小猫的帮助下，“我”脱离了困境。文章第四段提到了地窖可能有12英尺深。所以，在续写内容中，“我”很有可能受伤了。所给文本的最后一段提到“我”带着手电筒，穿着暖和的衣服，而Angelica则在上面看着“我”。所以，在续写的文章中，手电筒可能好用，但也有可能摔坏了。第一段的情节可以这样设计：根据第一段的段首句“我”醒来只看到了石地板上的梯子的零散碎块，说明“我”摔下来之后晕过去了。所以，醒来后，“我”的反应是想要爬起来，却发现自己受伤了。而在第二段段首句，似乎Angelica是“我”最后的希望，此句暗示在续写的第一段，“我”努力自救，但失败了。而在最绝望的时刻，“我”看到、听到或想到了Angelica，这样就可以顺利衔接到第二段。第二段的情节可以按以下思路设计：第二段的结尾应该是“我”被及时救出来，所以第二段的开头衔接的是“我”想办法让Angelica去找人帮忙。而Angelica走了之后，“我”焦急地等待，不知结果如何。当获救之后，回扣主题——Angelica是“我们”最好的伙伴。
Paragraph 1: I woke up with pieces of the rotting, broken ladder lying around me on the stone cellar floor. An acute pain tearing me into pieces, I struggled to my feet and glanced at the remote ray of light with frustration. Learning that I had to get out of the twelve-foot-deep cellar by myself, I grabbed the bump on the wall and started to climb up. The broken ?ashlight on the ground witnessed my vain attempts to escape from the situation. Eventually, I collapsed onto the ground, trembling helplessly. Suddenly, a faint meow came into my ears. It was my little angel, with its calm aura as usual！
Paragraph 2: It seemed my companion, Angelica, was my last hope.“Angelica, go and find Dad!”I cried with all my strength. Eyeing me with its intelligent eyes for a moment, the calico kitten ran away. Staring at the entrance, I couldn’t help wondering whether she went to seek help or just to play. My only hope of survival dimmed gradually. After what seemed to be centuries, hurried footsteps broke the dead silence. It was my intelligent companion that found my husband to rescue me! Having left the dark cellar, I lifted my little angel, Angelica, up, murmuring my heartfelt gratitude. Undoubtedly, it was a blessing to have met such a perfect companion in the cold winter!
动作线：挣扎着站起来，了解形势—试图爬出地窖—失败后崩溃地瘫坐在地上—看到Angelica并求救— Angelica 离开后焦急地等待—获救。情感线：刚开始的沮丧—自救失败时的崩溃—看到 Angelica 时产生一丝希望—等待中的焦急—获救后的感激。
在语言方面：在范文第一段的段首句衔接，用acute, tear... into pieces, struggle来体现“我”受伤的情况，remote ray of light烘托出“我”渴望逃出去但又希望渺茫的困境；而collapse onto the ground, dead silence则体现出我的绝望；the twelve-foot-deep cellar, thebroken flashlight, intelligent companion, tremble, its calm aura, angel,很好地与原文形成了内容上的有效衔接和呼应。
在语法方面：An acute pain tearing me into pieces,使用了独立主格结构；The broken?ashlight on the ground witnessed...使用了高级语法无灵主语；It was... that...强调句式；... whether she went...，after what seemed to be centuries宾语从句，after what seemed to be centuries宾语从句。eventually, suddenly, after whatseemed to be centuries, undoubtedly, having left...起到了很好的衔接作用。
（二）
以下这篇文章的主题语境为人与自我，青少年的个人成长。 An honest mistake Karie double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got full marks today, she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand new dictionary. Plus, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score. Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled“honesty”, not“honestly”. She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper. Ms. McCormack graded the test papers during the break. Meanwhile, Karie sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then, Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the class and cleared her throat. As if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. McCormack’s feet?ipped（空翻）into the air. “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!”she announced while upside down. The whole class broke into applause! Ms. McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize. Karie grinned as she read the label on the box:To Karie Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling. “Is everything OK?”MomaskedasKarie burst through the front door after school. Karie didn’t answer. As if by magic, she took out her spelling test paper and prize and showed them to her mother. Mom hugged her, asking her to put the test paper on the fridge so that Dad could see it when he got home.Karie took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in mid-air. She just couldn’t believe her eyes.“Honesly”? YES! H-O-N-E-S-L-Y! Mom sensed something unusual and asked why. Karie stuffed the test paper into her backpack and explained that she was just too excited. Mom brought her some tea. Yes, a“t”was exactly what she needed. After drinking a little, Karie plodded（沉重缓慢地走）down the hall, lost in thought. How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize and that Ms. McCormack did the handstand for nothing? 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Later Dad came in with excitement. Paragraph 2: The next morning, Karie went to school earlier than usual.

文本分析：
本篇故事主题语境为人与自我。故事主要内容为 Karie 通过努力获得了拼写比赛的第一名，得到了奖品。但是当 Karie 回到家以后，却发现单词“honestly”拼错了，意味着她并不是真正的第一名。该如何处理这个问题？Karie 心情沉重地走着，陷入了沉思。这时候父亲开心地走了进来……故事的结局一定是Karie 告诉老师实情，体现 honesty的美好品质。第一段的情节可以这样设计：根据段首句关键词 with excitement 得知，父亲可能已经知道她得到第一名的消息，所以接下来可以通过动作和情感来体现父亲的开心。相对于父亲的开心，Karie 的内心在纠结到底该不该说出实情。根据第二段段首句的关键词 went to school earlierthan usual，得知 Karie 一定是下定决心要向老师坦白。所以，在父亲发现 Karie 的不对劲的时候，Karie 告诉父亲实情，并得到父亲的鼓励和支持。第二段段首句同时也提到 the next morning，可以在第一段添加细节，Karie 一夜无眠。第二段的情节可以按以下思路设计：Karie 比平时早到学校，说明她想单独跟老师谈这件事情，而不想在同学们面前承认这个问题，所以，在第二段没有必要提到同学们。第二段要以 honesty 主题结尾，所以第二段主要是关于 Karie 与老师的互动。Karie 进办公室之前的紧张可通过动作描写体现出来，也可以写 Karie 勇敢承认问题之后老师的反应。最后，回扣主题——honesty 可贵的品质。参考范文：
Paragraph 1: Later Dad came in with excitement. Eyeing his beloved daughter tenderly, he praised Karie for her perfect performance. Feeling desperately guilty, the girl was at a loss what to do. Whether to speak out the truth or keep it to herself, the two opposite sounds interwove inside her mind. Eventually, she convinced herself to confess the truth. Having heard about the situation, Dad smiled encouragingly,“Whatever decision you make, we will always be on your side, my dear.”That night was sure to be restless. The anxious winner tossed and turned, and finally made up her mind.Paragraph 2: The next morning, Karie went to school earlier than usual. With the test paper and new dictionary clutched tightly in her hands, the nervous girl plodded into the office. Having explained that she had misspelt the word“honestly”, Karie placed the prize on the desk cautiously. After seconds of silence, Ms. McCormack reached out for the prize, tore off the label and replaced it with one written“To Karie Carter, for her great virtue”on it. Seeing those words of recognition, Karie said goodbye to her teacher cheerfully and sprang out of the office, proud to have confessed the truth. That day, it dawned on her that “Honesty is the best policy”.范文分析：
动作线：爸爸表扬 Karie—Karie 纠结该怎么办 —Karie 坦白实情 — 父亲鼓励 —Karie 一夜无眠—Karie 走进办公室坦白—Ms. McCormack 认可Karie 的做法。情感线：Karie 进退维谷，内疚一夜的焦虑—坦白问题的紧张—被老师认可后的开心。在语言方面：desperately guilty, at a loss, whether... or..., the two opposite sounds interwove inside her mind 体现了 Karie 内 心 的 纠 结。his beloved daughter，my dear 和 the nervous girl，以及 speak out the truth 和 confess the truth，体现语言的多种表达。语法方面：使用了状语从句、非谓语、形容词短语作状语等。在写作手法方面：After seconds of silence, Ms. McCormack reached out for the prize, tore off the label and replaced it with one written“To Karie Carter, for her great virtue”on it. 运用了动作链。plodded into the office与 sprang out of the office通过动作描写体现出情感的对比和发展。To Karie Carter, for her great virtue 在情节上很好地与原文的 label：To Karie Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling. 形成了内容上的呼应，也实现了故事情节上的发展，回扣主题。另外，长短句结合，有效地避免句子的冗长。在衔接方面：eventually, having explained that ... , after seconds of silence, those words of recognition, that day，使文章更加连贯。相比第一年的帮助邻居和第二年的母亲节做早餐，第三年的 David 参加跑赛更需要学生文本中的描写 David 的语句，推断 David 的性格特征和行为。学生基本都能推断出 David 参加了比赛，但是很多学生没有到原文的“he always finished his run long after the other children”，在续写的结尾时设计的情节是 David 获得了第一名。今年是山东省新高考的第四年，读后续写考查的深度和广度会加大，对学生的能力要求也会更高。希望笔者所选的两篇文章能起到抛砖引玉的作用。《新高考读后续写提分攻略 ? 基础篇》

假定你是李华，你想邀请在中国留学的英国好友Peter观看京剧表演，但Peter不在家，你给他写张留言条，包括以下内容：参考词汇：quintessence 精华，精粹；ornate 华丽的I came to see you but you were out. I’d like to invite you to see Beijing Opera with me next week, since you have always wanted to know more about Chinese culture since the first day to China.With a history of nearly 200 years, Beijing Opera is a form of traditional Chinese theatre, which is considered as the quintessence of Chinese culture. The performers in ornate costume perform various stories that happened in history to audience by singing, dance and motions. I can tell you more about it when we meet.Please let me know when you will be free and I will buy the tickets in advance. I sincerely hope that you can accept my invitation and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.On the losing of traditional cultureIt’s widely noted that lots of traditional cultures are disappearing along with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly, traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new sciences are always highly efficient, because modern science and technology facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot, with which we can save much money and time. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture, especially the maintenance and repair of the historical buildings.In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it couldn’t keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the end.My view on the “Campus Star” ContestAt an age of character and individuality being encouraged and demonstrated, we see various “stars” pop up—singing stars, dancing stars, movie stars and sport stars. etc. Many schools even hold contests to choose their “Campus Stars”. Although these activities make our cultural life in campus more colorful and various, a lot of problems spring up at the same time.First of all, these activities can result in the swelling of vanity in some students, making them become arrogant, or even feel superior to other students. Moreover, these activities can greatly distract the students from their study. In order to become a star, they will, without any doubt, spend a lot of time and energy on the preparation and competition. The focus of their academic life will be shifted, and even worse, they become too enthusiastic about extracurricular activities and hate the academic knowledge ad skills they need to grasp for their future development.On the whole, I think these various “ Campus Star” contests should be controlled in the campus. After all, schools are different from any other social institutions. Extracurricular activities should be encouraged, but they should be helpful to the students’ academic study and all-round development.话题：How to enhance the sense of happinessThe sense of happiness is of great significance. As a vital factor of life, it brings us power, arouses our enthusiasm for loving life, and helps us to create a promising future. However, in contemporary China, it has become a trend for Chinese people to hold different views about happiness and the way to enhance it.In addition to material basis, the sense of happiness also refers to several other aspects. Firstly, based on a recent survey, a majority of individuals admit that they are no longer content with being fed and clothed adequately, and their happiness depends more on their success in careers, friendship and love. Secondly, a great many people claim that health is the key to their sense of happiness. It is health that enables them to build up a solid foundation for anything significant.As a student, I am convinced that never can money equal happiness. To enhance our sense of happiness, we should educate, advocate and encourage our friends and classmates to enrich their knowledge, broaden their horizons and cultivate their ability.
每年都有许多人外出旅游，一些人的不文明行为引起了社会的广泛。某英文报社正在举行以“文明旅游”为主题的讨论。假定你是李华，请你给报社写一封信，呼吁大家做文明游客。要点如下：I’ve read your discussion on how to behave properly while traveling. Every year, a great many holiday makers go out for sightseeing and relaxation. While they are enjoying themselves, some of them behave rudely, which causes a big concern. How to be a civilized tourist has become a heated topic.In my opinion, it is necessary to watch our manners. First, we must respect and follow local customs. Besides, we’d better not talk loudly in public places to avoid disturbance to others. Also, be aware that queue jumping is unacceptable in many countries.More importantly, if we travel abroad, we should bear in mind that we are representing our country, so we need to be cautious about how we act. Only in this way can we enjoy our trips and have beautiful memories as well.某中学生英文报就“保护中国传统文化”为主题举行英语征文活动。你准备给该报投稿，稿件内容包括：2. 列举1-2个你所知道的国家或当地政府文化保护的事例;Protect Traditional Chinese CultureThe protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧)， a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.
In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s performance. Besides, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger support we can get from the public.In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.假如你叫李华，最近你的美国笔友Tony要来北京体验中国传统文化，请根据他的问题回复邮件，为他设计北京一日游活动，帮助他体验中国传统文化。请描述你们打算去的地方、具体的活动安排、以及这样安排的理由。
提示词语：traditional Chinese culture, tea house, Peking Opera, paper cuttingI’m glad that you will come to Beijing soon. There are lots of places of interest in Beijing. In order to experience traditional Chinese culture better, I do recommend Beijing Hutong tour.First, we’re going to go sightseeing along the lanes in Hutong. The houses in Hutong are traditional, such as Siheyuan. From them, you can imagine how people used to live. Of course you can stop anywhere you like and it is interesting to take pictures or have a close look. Second, we are going to pay visits to a Hutong family. We can have lunch there and have a short talk with the local residents, which can help you learn about many stories of the past. We can not only appreciate the dramatic changes that Hutong has undergone, but also see evidence of the history of Beijing, experience the old way of life and experience traditional Beijing culture.In a word, Hutongs are the homes of common people in the past. It is easy to know how people lived and had fun in the old days. So it is a good choice to learn about traditional Chinese culture.I’m looking forward to your coming.假如你叫李华，你的美国笔友Tom对中国的传统节日非常感兴趣。他想请你介绍你最喜欢的一个节日，如中秋节、端午节、春节等，你通常是怎么庆祝的，以及你喜欢这个节日的原因。请你根据他的问题回复邮件。

It usually comes in September or October. On that day, our family members usually get together and have a nice meal. After that, I always admire the moon and share mooncakes with my families.I love this festival because I like eating mooncakes. They are in the shape of a full moon. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss.In short, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of pleasure and happiness. I hope that my letter will help you know more about Chinese festivals.
