【問題導讀】
一篇文章通常由開頭、主體和結(jié)尾三個部分組成,古人常把這三個部分比喻成“鳳頭”“豬肚”和“豹尾”。意思是說,文章的開頭要像鳳凰的頭一樣美麗、精彩,主體內(nèi)容要像豬的肚子那樣充實、飽滿,而結(jié)尾要像豹子的尾巴那樣剛健、有力。讀好的結(jié)尾猶如咀嚼干果,品嘗香茗,令人回味再三??梢?,精彩的文章結(jié)尾和炫目的開頭一樣重要。讀后續(xù)寫的結(jié)尾也是閱卷老師的閱讀體驗點和打分點,精彩的結(jié)尾能讓閱卷老師打出更高的分數(shù)。
【名師導學】
1. 高考讀后續(xù)寫是通過讓學生閱讀一篇未完結(jié)的故事,然后根據(jù)所給出的情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫,使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。 續(xù)寫部分分成兩段,每段的開頭已經(jīng)給出。
2. 從高考讀后續(xù)寫的評分標準來看,讀后續(xù)寫注重續(xù)寫短文與原文的銜接程度,包括語篇主旨、文章內(nèi)容和語言風格的銜接。
3. 好的結(jié)尾如“畫龍點睛”,而不是“畫蛇添足”。 在續(xù)寫故事的時候,如果我們的結(jié)尾能夠呼應前文,升華主題,引發(fā)思考,讓人意猶未盡,那這就是一個好的文章結(jié)尾。
【案例導引】
閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫,使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。
Coffee on the wall
Big snowflakes were pouring down from the sky. I sat with my friend in a wellknown coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice, Italy, a city of lights and water.
As we enjoyed our coffee, a well-dressed man entered, took off his hat and sat at an empty table beside us. He then called the waiter and placed his order saying, “Two cups of coffee, please. One of them there on the wall.”
Upon hearing this order, both of us were amazed, so we kept on observing with interest. It seemed that the waiter wasn't surprised at all. He took the order and left. Ten minutes later, the waiter came back with only one cup of coffee. The man thanked the waiter and began to enjoy the coffee. However, when he left, he paid for two.
After the man left, the waiter returned to collect the cup and put a piece of paper on the wall saying “A cup of coffee”. Seeing this, my friend and I looked at each other with confusion.
Just as we were guessing what the piece of paper on the wall meant, two elegant ladies entered. They sat down at the same table and ordered three cups of coffee: two on the table and one on the wall. When the two ladies left, they paid for three cups of coffee.This time also, the waiter did the same; he put a piece of paper on the wall saying “A cup of coffee”.
It was something unique and confusing for us. Out of curiosity, we decided to stay in the shop and kept on watching. We glanced at the wall and found that there were three pieces of paper on the wall at that time.
About 30 minutes later, the door was opened and an old man entered. The old man was poorly dressed, which was quite unfit for a coffee shop. To our surprise, the waiter greeted the man respectfully and led him to the table near us.
Paragraph 1:
As the old man seated himself,he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.”

二、常用招式
妙招1:自然式結(jié)尾
自然式結(jié)尾是指順著文章的自然發(fā)展趨勢結(jié)束全文,使文章結(jié)構(gòu)完整,故事情節(jié)完整。 這樣的結(jié)尾沒有套話,沒有空話,給人自然、明快的感覺。
文章第一段“I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice, Italy, a city of lights and water.”交代了故事發(fā)生的背景:“我”和朋友當時正在咖啡店里喝咖啡。 當“我們”聽到別人點咖啡的方式(除了點自己喝的,還多點了一杯“貼在墻上”),覺得很奇特,就決定留下來看個究竟。 最后,當一位衣衫襤褸的老人進來點了一杯“貼在墻上”的咖啡之后,一切就豁然開朗了。 謎題解開了,“我”和朋友自然也該離開了。 所以這里我們可以用“Since everything was clear, we finished our coffee, paid the bill and left with satisfaction.”自然地結(jié)束全文。
妙招2:首尾呼應式結(jié)尾
首尾呼應式結(jié)尾是指續(xù)寫的文章結(jié)尾與原文開頭相呼應。 前有伏筆,后有照應,這種結(jié)尾方式能使文章結(jié)構(gòu)更加緊密、嚴謹,內(nèi)容更加深刻、完整,且更能與讀者產(chǎn)生共鳴。
故事開始時,天空飄著鵝毛大雪,這說明天氣相當惡劣,非常寒冷。 但是,當“我”和朋友目睹了當?shù)鼐用衲涿浰涂Х鹊呐呐e動后,“我們”感受到的不再是漫天飛雪的寒冷,而是一種由內(nèi)而外的溫暖。 用“Though it was still snowing heavily, all we could feel now was the surpassing warmth.”來結(jié)尾,剛好可以與文章第一句“Big snowflakes were pouring down from the sky.”相呼應。
妙招3:點題式結(jié)尾
點題式結(jié)尾是指在續(xù)寫文章結(jié)尾時用一兩句話來總結(jié)文章主旨,升華主題,起到畫龍點睛的作用。
故事發(fā)展到后面,“我們”終于明白,咖啡既不是社會基本需要,也不是生活必需品,但在享受任何美好的東西時,也許“我們”都應該想到,有些人也喜歡這樣的東西,但卻無力支付。當?shù)鼐用駥λ说倪@份尊敬和關愛不僅讓“我們”感動得熱淚盈眶,還感染著“我們”付諸行動。 所以用點題式結(jié)尾時,我們可以這樣寫,“The great respect and love for the needy shown by the inhabitants of this town made our eyes well up with tears. We ordered one more coffee, saying ‘a(chǎn) cup of coffee on the wall’, paid for it and left.”。 最后,“我們”也點了一杯咖啡“貼在墻上”,這樣的結(jié)尾緊扣文章標題Coffee on the wall,升華了文章主題。
妙招4:景物(環(huán)境)描寫式結(jié)尾
景物(環(huán)境)描寫式結(jié)尾,是指在讀后續(xù)寫中以景作結(jié),寓情于景,達到不言情而情無限,言有盡而意無窮的效果。 我們在以景結(jié)情時要注意,環(huán)境描寫要與人物的心情相照應,融情于景。
當?shù)鼐用褓浰涂Х鹊姆绞狡嫣囟鴾嘏诵?,所以我們在以景結(jié)情時可以對故事的發(fā)生地點(咖啡店)進行環(huán)境描寫。 我們可以這樣寫,“Overhead, the lamps were burning softly, lighting up the most beautiful wall in the world and warming all the hearts in the coffee shop.”。 咖啡店柔和的燈光既照亮了那堵墻,又溫暖了人心。 這樣的環(huán)境描寫既點了題,又升華了主題。
妙招5:哲理式結(jié)尾
哲理式結(jié)尾是對文章中心思想的總結(jié),它包含作者想要表達的寓意和想與讀者分享的感悟。 這種結(jié)尾方式往往是通過以小見大、從物到人、由事及理、從點到面、由一及眾等方式升華文章主題。 我們在續(xù)寫結(jié)尾的時候,通常可以通過表達人生感悟、生活真諦、生活哲理、人生觀或價值觀來完成情感升華。
通過閱讀原文和所給出的段首句,我們知道,當?shù)鼐用裨邳c咖啡的時候會順便點一杯“貼在墻上”,讓他人也能夠在寒冷的冬天享受到暖暖的咖啡。 這種小小的善舉,給他人帶來的卻是寒冬里的溫暖,給旁觀者傳遞的是滿滿的正能量。如果每個人都能有這樣的小善舉,那這個世界必將變成一個溫暖和諧的世界。 所以,結(jié)尾的時候我們也可以這樣寫來升華文章的主題,“Sometimes, a small act of kindness may be powerful enough to make a huge difference to others.”。
我們在平時多積累一些可以用于哲理式結(jié)尾的句子,這樣,考試時就可以根據(jù)文章的主題信手拈來。根據(jù)讀后續(xù)寫??嫉脑掝},我們可以從以下幾個方面歸納和記憶一些有哲理的句子。

4. When you light a lamp for someone else, you brighten your own path, too. 當你為別人點燈時,你也照亮了自己的道路。

【參考范文】
As the old man seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” “Yes, sir.” The waiter served coffee to this man with customary respect and dignity. The old man enjoyed his coffee contentedly. About half an hour later, he finished his coffee. Then he stood up and left without paying. When we were just about to call the waiter and tell him everything, the waiter came back, took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the trash bin.
Now there were only two pieces of paper left on the wall, but we came to understand everything. When people in this town enjoyed coffee, they paid for an extra cup of coffee for the needy who couldn't afford, though they didn't know who would drink this cup of coffee. And the needy enjoyed a free cup of coffee without having to lower his selfesteem. The great respect and love for the needy shown by the inhabitants of this town made our eyes well up with tears. We ordered one more coffee, saying “a cup of coffee on the wall”, paid for it and left.
【模擬導練】
閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
“Mom! I'm home! ” John happily said and ran into the kitchen. His mom was making cookies near the window. Outside, a robin was singing. Pop-Pop, John's grandpa, who lived with them after John's grandma died, came shuffling through the door. Pop-Pop said,“When the robin sings, spring is here.” John's mom added, “Tomorrow, John, let's do the annual spring cleaning.”
The next day, John and his mom cleaned the house. When looking at Pop-Pop's chair, John's mom said, “That old chair has to go. We'll buy Pop-Pop a new one. Let's take it to the roadside. Tomorrow the garbage truck will pick it up.” John agreed because the chair was worn. As they attempted to move the chair, Pop-Pop came. He tried to stop John and his mom, saying he didn't need a new one. Finally, John's mom let go of the chair and said, “We'll discuss it tonight when Matt gets home.” Matt, John's dad, was still at work.
With a sigh of relief, the old man sank into his chair. “Pop-Pop, why not get rid of this old chair?” John asked when his mother left the room. “You all don't understand,John,” Pop-Pop whispered. “I sat in this chair, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago. But when I sit there, I feel she's near. And the night your father was born, I sat in this chair, too. I was so happy when they placed the tiny baby into my arms.” As Pop-Pop continued telling his connection with the chair,John understood this chair was more like a friend to him.
That night, however, when John and Pop-Pop were asleep, John's parents carried the chair to the roadside. It was a starless night. Spring had moved away temporarily, and snow fell silently and covered Pop-Pop's chair. The next morning, when John came downstairs, he saw Pop-Pop standing by the window and looking outside. John followed his sad look. Snow-covered, the chair stood out on the street.
注意:續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右。
Paragraph 1:The noise of the truck pulling up to the house shocked John into action.
