Question

【题目】阅读下面，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)

Christine closed the door to Anna’s room. Inside, her classmate and friend had fallen asleep.

Downstairs, Christine’s mom, Donna, was grasping Anna’s mother Sheila around the shoulders.

“We should go,” she said. “Get some rest, huh?” Sheila nodded, blew her nose, and then waved them goodbye.

On the car ride home, Christine worked up the courage to ask the question on her mind. “Mom? Why was Sheila weeping?” She thought she knew the answer, of course: Anna’s cancer. In the past, Anna had been the neighborhood do-gooder, always going door to door for various causes: the local animal shelter, suffering children in Africa, or the families who’d lost their homes to fire. Now Anna could barely feed or dress herself. Christine thought it so unfair when bad things like this happened to good people.

“Well, it’s complex, but I guess you’re old enough to understand.”

“Understand what?”

“Understand that Anna is sick, yes, but Anna actually gets a lot of help. The government helps pay for a lot of her medicine. She gets meals delivered to her by a nonprofit. She even gets massages from local volunteers.”

“Wow!”

“Her life’s still very hard, of course, and no one would trade places with her, but when you have cancer, everyone can see that you need help, “continued Donna.” They don’t always see that the people around you are suffering.”

“People like Sheila?”

“Yes, did you know that Sheila took a break from her job to stay home with Anna?”

“No!” Christine was surprised. She had never thought about who took Anna to her appointments, or fed her when she was too weak to lift a spoon. Of course it was her family.

“Yes. So that means that many of the things they used to do with that extra money are all out the window now. They’re even worried now about keeping the house.”

“Their house? So Anna might have to move, while she’s sick?”

“If she doesn’t get better soon, and the bills keep piling up...” Donna pulled into the driveway, and just in time. Her cheeks were shining with tears.

Answer 1

【答案】“There has to be something done for them,” Christine said firmly to their classmates and friends. She described Anna’s situation and the scene of Sheila weeping. Everyone was deeply touched as they knew what a selfless person Anna is. Christine suggested having a yard sale to raise money for her family. They would surprise them with money at a party with a chocolate cake and live music. Everyone gathered their old belongings to sell. After a day of hard work, they made 1,000 dollars and rushed to Christine’s house to set up the party. Everyone enjoyed delicious foods and wonderful music.

But the best part of the party was when Anna came through the door with her family, attracted with promises of a chocolate cake and live music. Everyone yelled, “Surprise!” and Anna’s face lit up. Christine took the microphone from the band and said, “Anna, we know you are going through a hard time, so we raised 1,000 dollars to repay you for your good deeds and help pay your bills. Know that we will always be with you.” Tears of joy fell down Anna’s cheeks as we hugged her.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，在克里斯汀和妈妈的聊天中，克里斯汀知道了安娜患了癌症。安娜曾经在健康的时候给予了别人非常多的帮助。现在她患病之后，生活步履维艰。为了看病她家里债台高筑。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：克里斯汀告诉她的家人和朋友，她要为安娜做些什么。所以应该写克里斯汀为安娜募捐的全部过程。更要详细的描述为什么要给安娜募捐，活动的内容和形式以及募捐的结果等。第二段开头是：但派对最精彩的部分是，安娜和她的家人一起走进门来，被一块巧克力蛋糕和现场音乐所吸引。所以本段应该是写在安娜家里举办派对的过程和对安娜的鼓励。文章的最后应该是安娜在收到我们的募捐款之后的感受。

续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
