考向41 读后续写之外貌、性格与环境描写 在读写续写过程中,在沿用原文语言特点的情况下,围绕原文主旨,续写部分可利用恰当的词语描述人物的外貌、性格和周围的环境,丰富续写情节,从而进一步提升续写语篇的可读性。 第一部分 外貌性格描写 一、外貌性格描写的3个原则 ①进行外貌描写时,可写对一个人的总体印象,也可以抓住人物重要的外貌特征或性格特点进行描述。如攻略3例题原文中第一段对妈妈性格的描写,采用了loving, sweet, absentminded和forgetful等形容词,使一个可爱又健忘的妈妈的形象跃然纸上。 ②可以具体描述人物的五官、着装,甚至可以配上动作描述。 ③在描写人物片段时,可写你对人物印象最深的一两点,再加上一两句人物评价。 二、外貌与性格描写的高分素材 (一)外貌描写 (1) 她圆圆的脸上有一双蓝色的眼睛,还有两个可爱的酒窝。 ①On her round face are a pair of blue eyes and lovely dimples. (倒装句型) ②She is a girl with a pair of blue eyes and lovely dimples on her round face. (with引导的介宾结构作后置定语,补充说明人物信息) (2)李老师三十多岁,身材适中,常梳着马尾辫。 ①Miss Li is in her thirties with a medium build and has her hair in a ponytail. (由and连接的并列句;with短语用作状语,表示伴随状态) ②Miss Li is a mediumsized woman in her thirties who often wears/ties her hair in a ponytail. (定语从句补充介绍人物特征) ③Miss Li, in her thirties, is of medium size, and often has her hair tied in a ponytail. (“be of + adj. + n.”结构表示人或物具有某种特征。常用的名词有:size, height, weight, build, age, shape等) (二)性格描写 ①Such is Ms. Han, an easygoing, kind and warmhearted woman. 韩老师是一个随和善良又热心肠的女人。 ②Though he comes from a poor family, he is a person of great determination and courage. 他虽出身贫寒,但拥有坚强的意志和勇气。 第二部分 环境描写 一、环境描写的4个原则 ①选择与主题和情节设置一致的环境要素,以营造故事发生的特定环境。 ②细致深入。所选的景物一定要运用所学的词汇和句法进行细致深入的描写。 ③添加附加信息,如天气变化和周边的景物等,如昏暗的路灯、摇曳的树影等。 ④环境细节描写一定要与动作和心理活动等相结合,才能更好地完成续写任务。 例如:攻略3第一段续写中可适当描写一下在帐篷中过夜时周围的环境,突出作者内心的祥和、快乐。 二、环境描写的高分素材 ①It was beginning to snow, and snowflakes were blinding my eyes. 天开始下雪了,雪花让我看不清了。 ②The sun was breaking through the blanket of mist. 太阳穿过薄雾。 ③Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice. During autumn, these same mountains are flash gold, and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost. 夏天,水稻生长群山绿意盎然。秋天漫山铺金,冬天银装素裹。 ④A little way off was a little brook, rushing and sparkling along between green banks. 不远处有一条小溪,在绿色的两岸之间奔流不息,波光粼粼。 【典例示例】(2017·浙江高考11月卷改编) 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 A Vacation with My Mother I ha
