Question

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

At Dana’s yard sale, Tim chose a baseball from the toys spread on the card table and asked about the price. Dana told him everything was a quarter except Nezumi, a cotton toy rat. It was grey with some cotton sticking out from the hole where an ear had been torn off.

“Nezumi is extra special, so he is ten dollars. He needs a safe new home.” Dana sighed. Tim laughed saying he didn’t have ten dollars. Dana laughed too and gave Nezumi to Tim as a free gift because he was her friend. When Tim whispered it was sort of old, Dana said old toys were the best. She then invited Tim to her birthday party the next evening, adding that her parents were giving her a real rat for her birthday. Tim was amazed and asked if it was a live rat.

“Of course.” Dana said.

At home, Tim’s mother showed him the gift she had bought for Dana. It was a knitting spool(針織線軸) shaped like a mushroom. Mom said Dana could knit a scarf for her doll. Tim sighed that Dana wasn’t a knitting kind of person but a rat kind of person. Mom laughed after knowing what had happened. Together they drove to the pet store, where Tim searched and searched and selected a clear plastic ball, one in which the rat could run around on the floor safe from cats and dogs. Tim thought of Nezumi’s ear and decided Dana’s new rat would need this ball.

The next day, Dana brought cupcakes to class. When she handed a cupcake to Tim, she asked if Tim brought Nezumi to school as Nezumi liked to ride in backpacks. Tim was at a loss because Nezumi was at home on his bed. Then Dana asked what gift he was giving her. Tim replied it was a surprise. In silence they sat for a while before he heard Dana say her parents were giving her a new bike for her birthday instead of a live rat because they thought rats would bite things.

Answer 1

【答案】At home that afternoon, Tim stared at the plastic rat ball. Wondering about the use of the clear plastic ball if Dana had no rat, he started walking up and down the room with a frown on his face. Mom was surprised and asked him what was happening. Tim told her Dana wasn’t getting a live rat from her parents but a bike. As they were racking their brains (絞腦汁) to come up with an appropriate gift, Tim turn around and saw Nezumi on his bed.

All of a sudden, he had an idea. He lifted Nezumi and squeezing Nezumi into the plastic ball with great caution so that Nezumi would be safe from cats and dogs. Seeing this, Mom asked Tim whether he was giving Dana an old cotton rat with one ear as a gift, Tim nodded with a smile saying she would definitely like it. Looking at Mom’s confused expression, Tim added that Dana was a Nezumi kind of person who thought old toys were the BEST.

【解析】

這是一篇讀后續(xù)寫作文。

通過閱讀所給文章可知，Tim從Dana的庭院舊貨出售會得到了有一只耳朵被扯掉了的玩具老鼠Nezumi，Tim很喜歡。Dana的生日快到了，Tim去商店里為Dana喜歡的老鼠買了一個透明的塑料球，可以讓它在里面跑，不會被貓和狗咬傷。第二天Tim聽到Dana說她的父母給她的生日禮物是一輛新自行車，而不是一只活老鼠，因為他們認(rèn)為老鼠會咬東西。

續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，第一段開頭是：那天下午在家里，Tim盯著塑料老鼠球。所以后文應(yīng)該是講述Tim得知Dana不會受到老鼠作為生日禮物后的心理活動，他覺得買的這個塑料老鼠球沒有用了，于是他皺著眉頭開始在房間里走來走去。媽媽很驚訝，問他發(fā)生了什么事。Tim告訴她Dana從她父母那里得到的不是一只活老鼠，而是一輛自行車。當(dāng)他們絞盡腦汁想出合適的禮物時，Tim轉(zhuǎn)過身，看見Nezumi躺在床上；第二段開頭是：突然，他有了一個主意。本段應(yīng)該寫Tim為Dana準(zhǔn)備生日禮物的過程，Tim要送Dana一只長著一只耳朵的老鼠。

最后還要注意所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。按要求完成寫作任務(wù)。
