Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構成一個完整的故事。

My husband Andrew, a wise father, teaches our kids how to balance risk with freedom.

We have four chickens: Pecky, Buckbeak, Mayonnaise and Cornflake. My husband made their coop (籠子). It’s beautifully made.

Actually he made it with our sons and daughter. The kids and their father spent several weekends in the garage. He gave them tools because he believed it was important that they could actually make something. He slowly helped them and together, they made the coop. They also made the mistakes of learning-a board cut too short, nails smashed (打碎) by hammers — but in the end, Andrew did some tricks and the coop looked perfect.

The chickens loved their perfectly imperfect home and we also gave them free range in the yard. Andrew encouraged our kids to provide the chickens with quite a big area and explained that to take risks is part of life, and by giving chickens the freedom to wander around and dig for bugs, it is a better experience for them than the confines (限制) of the coop.

Yesterday, they ran around the lawn (草地). We needed to go downtown, knowing that chickens wouldn’t go very far. When we got back, my son, Gordon, ran to check on them. There were Mayonnaise, Cornflake and Buckbeak, looking a mess but still alive. Yet Pecky was nowhere to be seen.

With Andrew, we searched the yard and found some feathers by the trees. Then, we saw more feathers littering the yard. By this time. Gordon started to worry; Pecky was his favorite chicken and his eyes got watery.

Andrew picked Gordon up and held him. As we stood there, beginning to accept that we were now a three-chicken family, we heard it-a soft clucking (咯咯聲) sound under a bush.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1:

Andrew put Gordon down and they looked under the bush. There was Pecky, a half-naked chicken, still alive though. She looked a mess, with almost half of her feathers gone, but she was absolutely fine. Andrew gently gathered her up and returned her to the coop. Our kids hurried to gather around, closely watched and gently stroked her feathers.

Paragraph 2:

The next day Andrew had a discussion with the kids about what to do with the chickens. The kids believed that the chickens should be shut in, safe from any dangers in the world. But Andrew disagreed. He believed that we should be more careful when letting the chickens out in the yard. He encouraged our kids to take risks. He explained that love isn’t a coop which restrains them but something that can both provide adequate protection and allow more freedom of living a happy life. Finally, the kids understood their father and they together fenced a bigger area, providing the chickens with the maximum freedom and safety.

【解析】

這是一篇讀后續(xù)寫作文。通過閱讀所給文章可知，文章主要講述了作者的丈夫Andrew是一位睿智的父親，他通過養(yǎng)雞、一起做雞籠并教導孩子如何平衡冒險和自由。

續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，第一段開頭是：Andrew把Gordon放下，他們在灌木叢下看了看。后文可以描寫還有他們找到了Pecky，半裸著，但還活著。她看起來很糟糕，幾乎掉了一半的羽毛，但她絕對很好。Andrew輕輕地把她抱起來，放回了雞舍。我們的孩子們急忙圍攏過來，仔細觀察著它，還輕輕地撫摸著它的羽毛。第二段開頭是：第二天，Andrew和孩子們討論了如何處理這些雞。后文可以描寫孩子們認為雞應該關起來，這樣就不會有任何危險。但Andrew并不贊同。他認為我們把雞放到院子里時應該更加小心。他鼓勵我們的孩子去冒險。他解釋說，愛不是束縛它們的籠子，而是既能提供足夠的保護，又能讓它們更自由地過上幸福的生活。最后，孩子們理解了他們的父親，他們一起圍了一塊更大的區(qū)域，給雞提供了最大限度的自由和安全。注意要使用5個以上短文中標有下劃線的關鍵詞語。
