His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye.Mrs. Hill’s front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green’s house across the street. The couple had both gone to work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill’s home phone and called the police. Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill’s house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down tree, he jumped in through the window. “Stop right there! You must leave right now!” he called out, holding the branch with both hands.真题动向The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief. “Hey, kid, put that down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father’s watch was here,” he explained, trying to lift a floorboard. At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what had happened. They pursued and arrested the man. Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill’s house. Somehow he wasn’t sure he had done the right thing. “What if he has told the truth?” he thought to himself. The man’s words sounded pretty convincing. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右；(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them. _____________________ _________________________________________________________________________ Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. ______________ ___________________________________________________________________________真题动向【参考范文】Paragraph 1:When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them. The Greens listened attentively as Kevin recounted every detail. They were shocked at first but grateful to hear the man had been arrested. Still, Kevin couldn’t forget the man’s words. “What if the man was telling the truth?” he whispered. Without hesitation, Mr. Green strode to the loose floorboard. “Let’s see for ourselves,” he said, lifting the floorboard. Beneath it lay an old, dust-covered watch. Kevin’s heart sank. “We need to show this to the police,” he urged. (78 词)Paragraph 2:Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. After hearing the story, the officers understood. “You’re lucky these people brought this in,” one officer said, handing the watch to the man. “But never break in again.” The man clutched the watch tightly, his shoulders relaxing as if a weight had lifted.  “Thank you ... for proving I wasn’t lying,” he murmured to Kevin, his voice thick with emotion. A smile curved Kevin’s lips. As they stepped into the golden afternoon light, it struck Kevin: True bravery wasn’t about taking risks, but about doing what was right. (87 词)真题动向传统情境：续写矛盾多局限于清晰的 人际圈内部（如与朋友吵架、与家人误解、自我挑战失败）。场景是私密的，道德判断是简单的。本题新情境：矛盾源于主角 介入一件公共/社会性事件（目击疑似犯罪并干预）。场景是开放的，涉及 陌生人、法律、财产权和社区安全。新在何处：它把学生从“班级”“家庭”的舒适区，拉到了更广阔、更复杂的社会界面。要求考生处理的不是“朋友还我钱吗？”，而是“我作为公民，目睹不法时该如何行动？我的行动可能带来什么后果？”这是一种“准成人社会”的情境预设。新情境传统考法：续写的核心任务是“情感修复”。通过对话、道歉、帮助等动作，达成和解。逻辑链条是：误会→难过→理解→和解。本题新考法：续写的核心任务是“真相调查与责任完成”。它要求构建一个微型的“证据链”和“问题解决流程”。证据链：必须设计动作去验证“闯入者”的说辞（询问邻居、检查地板、发现手表）。解决流程：必须设计动作将事件推向合法、妥当的解决（前往警局、上交物证、协助澄清）。新在何处：它考查的不再是单纯的情感表达能力，而是基于逻辑的叙事构建能力、对基本社会规则（法治）的理解，以及将“做好事”负责到底的完整闭环思维。这更像一个“微剧本”写作。新考法真题动向传统角度：主题通常是“勇敢/善良总会有好报”。主角克服恐惧帮助他人，结果直接带来友谊、感谢或自我成长，价值判断是单向赞美的。本题新角度：主题是“勇敢之后的责任与思辨”。它提出了一个尖锐的二元困境：行为的正义性：报警、对峙，这是公民的责任与勇敢。结果的复杂性：可能误会了一个有苦衷的人，你的“正义之举”可能对他人造成了伤害。新在何处：它引入了“道德灰度”。它要求考生探讨：当“正确的事”可能带来“错误的结果”时，我们该怎么办？续写不再是简单的“好人得好报”，而是必须处理：对自身行为的反思（我是否武断？）对他人处境的好奇与求证（他到底是谁？）在真相大白后，如何弥补可能造成的伤害（道歉、协助澄清）。最终主题升华不再是“我真勇敢”，而是“勇敢需与智慧、求证和责任心同在”，或者说 “最大的善良，是在维护正义时也不失对他人的悲悯与审慎”。新角度真题动向第一部分：原文动作分析（悬念建立与爆发）原文已经完成了一个完整的“悬疑-行动”单元。我们拆解来看：1. 观察与判断（安静中孕育风暴）（1）a movement outside caught his eye（外面的动静引起了他的注意）一个中性的、被动的动作(caught his eye)，将主角从无聊状态拉入事件。这是所有悬疑的开始。（2）Kevin stared at the man at their front door.（凯文盯着门前那个人。）从“注意到”到“紧盯”，紧张感升级。stared 表明时间持续，他在进行判断。词汇：movement 用词准确，不确定是人还是动物，保留悬念。词汇：stared 比 looked 更具紧张感和目的性。真题动向2. 危机确认与决策（从观察到行动）（1）Suddenly, the man jumped through an open window into the house.（突然，那人从开着的窗户跳进了屋里。）jumped 这个动作果断、非法，瞬间坐实了“入侵者”身份。Suddenly 一词让节奏骤变。（2）With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill’s home phone and called the police.（心提到了嗓子眼，凯文抓起希尔夫人的家用电话报了警。）先写生理感受(With his heart in his mouth)，再写一连串动作 (grabbed... called)，符合“震惊-反应”的真实逻辑。动作合理（用家用电话）。词汇：jumped 是核心动词，充满力量感和违法性，是推动主角报警的直接原因。词汇：With his heart in his mouth 是极佳的情感动作化表达，是高分亮点。grabbed 显示出急迫。真题动向3. 主动干预与对峙（英雄主义与冲突）（1）Thinking that..., Kevin decided to do something.（考虑到……凯文决定做点什么。）这是从“被动报警”到“主动干预”的关键转折点。一个内心的决定 (decided) 引出了下文更危险的动作。（2）He rushed out of... and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from..., he jumped in through the window.（他冲出……快速穿过街道。从……抓起一根树枝，他跳进了窗户。）rushed out -> crossed -> Grabbing -> jumped in，这四个动作一气呵成，塑造了一个勇敢（或鲁莽）的少年形象，节奏极快，画面感如电影。词汇：rushed, quickly, Grabbing, jumped 都是短促有力的动词/修饰，共同营造紧张感。（3）“Stop right there!...” he called out, holding the branch with both hands.（“站住！……”他喊道，双手紧握着树枝。）功能：对峙与虚张声势。语言动作(called out) 和身体姿态 (holding... with both hands) 相结合，生动刻画了一个紧张但试图威慑对方的少年。with both hands 这个细节表明他的全力以赴和内心恐惧。真题动向4. 意外反转与悬念遗留（真相的裂隙）（1）The man froze for a second, but when he saw... he breathed a sigh of relief.（那人愣住了一秒，但当他看到……他松了一口气。）froze 和 breathed a sigh of relief 是两个极富信息量的动作。真正凶恶的罪犯不会“愣住”并对一个孩子“松口气”。这些动作强烈暗示此人可能并非穷凶极恶。（2）“Hey, kid, put that down...” he explained, trying to lift a floorboard.（“嘿，孩子，放下……”他解释道，试图撬起一块地板。）explained（解释）和 trying to lift a floorboard（试图撬地板）是矛盾组合。他的行为有明确目的（撬地板），这与随机盗窃不同，留下了最大的悬念：“他到底是谁？在找什么？”（3）Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill’s house. Somehow he wasn’t sure he had done the right thing.（凯文回到希尔夫人家。不知怎的，他不确定自己做的是否正确。）功能：从外部动作转向内部动作，为续写指明方向。故事焦点从“抓贼”的激烈外部冲突，转向“判断对错”的内心道德挣扎 (wasn’t sure)。这是续写的总基调。真题动向第二部分：范文续写动作分析（调查、求证与解决）Paragraph 1: 主动求证与关键发现这一段的核心动作任务是“将内心的怀疑转化为外部调查”。1. 发起交流：Kevin went to talk to them. 这是最基础、最关键的主动性动作。一个went to talk，表明了凯文从被动困惑 (wasn’t sure) 到主动寻求真相的转变，是责任感的体现。2. 信息传递与接收：The Greens listened attentively... They were shocked...这里包含了交互动作链。凯文的动作：recounted every detail (详细叙述)。recounted 比 said 更正式、更完整，表明他的认真。格林夫妇的反应：listened attentively (专心听) -> were shocked (震惊) -> were grateful (感激)。这三个连续反应，通过动作和神态，验证了凯文行为的正当性，也推动了他们加入调查。真题动向3. 内心挣扎外化：Kevin couldn’t forget... “What if...” he whispered. couldn’t forget 是心理动作，whispered (低声说) 是将其外化的语言动作。whispered 这个词用得非常精妙，它体现了凯文的不确定、愧疚和仅对信任的人吐露的微妙心理，远比 said 生动。4. 果断调查与惊人发现：Mr. Green strode to... “Let’s see for ourselves,” he said, lifting the floorboard.这是本段的动作高潮和转折点。strode to (大步走向)：一个果断、有力的动作，表明成人（格林先生）对凯文疑虑的重视和立即行动的支持。lifting the floorboard (撬起地板)：这是对原文悬念(trying to lift) 的直接呼应和解答。这个动作是揭开谜底的关键。Beneath it lay an old, dust-covered watch.：用lay 这个静态动词描述发现，制造了短暂的“揭示”时刻。dust-covered (布满灰尘的) 这个细节暗示手表已存放很久，侧面支持了“闯入者”的说法。真题动向5. 责任感驱使的下一步：Kevin’s heart sank. “We need to show this to the police,” he urged. 生理反应：heart sank (心一沉)。经典的情绪动作化表达，准确传递了凯文发现可能冤枉好人后的 懊悔与沉重。语言动作：urged (敦促)。比 said 更强烈，体现了他的急切和决心要纠正错误。至此，Paragraph 1 的动作完美收尾，并自然引出下一段场景——警察局。▶ Paragraph 1 动作功能总结：通过 talk -> recount -> whisper -> stride -> lift -> urge 这一系列动作，完成了 从沟通到验证，从怀疑到确信，并指向新行动 的逻辑链条。真题动向Paragraph 2: 依法解决与情感升华这一段的核心动作任务是“完成社会流程并实现情感与认知的升华”。1. 场景转换与核心动作：Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch... to the police station. took... to 是简单明确的动作，标志着事件进入 正式的、社会的解决渠道，体现了法治观念和负责任的态度。2. 权威确认与教育：After hearing the story, the officers understood. & “You’re lucky...,” one officer said, handing the watch... “But never break in again.”这里包含一组权威角色的动作。understood (理解)：表明警方认可了他们的行为和整个事件的特殊性。handing the watch (递还手表)：这个动作完成了关键物证的合法移交，是解决问题的象征。语言动作：警官的话一分为二，先肯定(You’re lucky)，后教育 (But never...)。这体现了法律既有温度也有原则 的完整价值判断，非常高明。真题动向3. 情感释放与和解：The man clutched the watch tightly, his shoulders relaxing... “Thank you ... ,” he murmured... 这是情感描写的动作范本，包含三个层次：珍惜：clutched... tightly (紧紧攥住)。这个动作强烈表达出手表对他的情感价值，以及失而复得的激动。解脱：shoulders relaxing as if a weight had lifted (肩膀放松，如释重负)。用身体部位 (shoulders) 的放松来比喻心理重压的解除，是高级的动作隐喻。感激：murmured (低声说)，voice thick with emotion (声音因激动而哽咽)。murmured 与第一段凯文的 whispered 形成巧妙呼应，都表示低声、真挚的交流。voice thick 进一步外化了强烈的情感。这一系列动作，彻底完成了从“对立”到“和解”的转变。真题动向4. 主角成长与主题点明：A smile curved Kevin’s lips. As they stepped into the golden afternoon light, it struck Kevin...这是动作服务于主题升华的典范。A smile curved Kevin’s lips. (一抹微笑浮上凯文的嘴角。) curved 这个动词非常形象，描绘出微笑慢慢浮现的过程，代表他内心的释然、满足和成长。stepped into the golden afternoon light (步入金色的午后阳光)。这个环境互动动作极具象征意义。“步出警局”象征事件圆满解决，“金色阳光”象征内心的明朗与温暖。动作与环境结合，意境全出。it struck Kevin (凯文突然意识到)。这是内心领悟的动作化表达 (struck 如电光火石)。通过这个心理动作，自然引出主题句，毫无说教感。真题动向▶ Paragraph 2 动作功能总结：通过 这一系列动作，完成了 从社会程序到个人情感，再到内心领悟 的完整升华。took... to -> handing -> clutched/relaxing ->murmured -> smile curved -> stepped into ->struck考点一 情绪驱动类动作必备知识1. 喜悦与兴奋考点一 情绪驱动类动作必备知识2. 恐惧与震惊考点一 情绪驱动类动作必备知识3. 愤怒与沮丧考点一 情绪驱动类动作必备知识4. 悲伤与失落考点一 情绪驱动类动作必备知识5. 紧张与焦虑考点二 意图驱动类动作必备知识1. 探索与发现考点二 意图驱动类动作必备知识2. 帮助与救助考点二 意图驱动类动作必备知识3．准备与决心考点三 交互驱动类动作必备知识1. 亲密与支持考点三 交互驱动类动作必备知识2. 冲突与对抗考点三 交互驱动类动作必备知识2. 冲突与对抗考点三 交互驱动类动作必备知识3．尴尬与缓和考点四 风格修饰类动作必备知识1. 比喻化动作考点四 风格修饰类动作必备知识2. 副词与介词短语宝库考点四 风格修饰类动作必备知识2. 副词与介词短语宝库考点四 风格修饰类动作必备知识2. 副词与介词短语宝库考点四 风格修饰类动作必备知识3．伴随状态大师级写法命题预测考向1 VR植树——当虚拟凋零，真实生长 （2025·浙江温州十校期末考）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。I stood in the school auditorium（礼堂）,VR headset on my head. The virtual forest buzzed with life—3D fireflies danced above a stream, their glow waving on the water. My team had spent months programming this for the Eco Youth Summit, to show how deforestation harms wildlife. The air smelled of fresh paint, and whispers from the audience reached me through the headset.But as judges approached, the headset suddenly went dark. Panic surged through me. I tore off the device to see Maya frozen at the control panel（控制板）. “Server crashed,” she mouthed, hands shaking over the black screen. “Our project—it’s all gone.” Murmurs rose in the crowd, and my neck burned under the stage lights.命题预测I scanned the judges, their expectant smiles fading. A man in green tapped his writing board; the woman beside him frowned at her watch. Then my gaze met a girl in the front row, holding a stuffed owl（猫头鹰）. Her pigtails bobbed as she leaned forward, but when I shook my head, her eyes filled with disappointment—mirroring my sister’s look when a trip is canceled.“Wait,” I claimed, grabbing Maya’s arm. She shrank back, but I pressed on: “What if we tell the story without VR?” For a moment, she stared, then nodded sharply. Stepping to the stage edge, I said, “This forest isn’t just code. It’s a real home where owls nest...” My voice cracked, but words poured out—about drying rivers, about birds losing habitats.命题预测When I finished, the auditorium fell silent. Suddenly the girl rose to her feet, with her sneakers making a sharp noise: “Instead of a virtual forest, can we plant a real tree?” The audience laughed softly, and judges exchanged nods. Maya’s hand found mine, steady and warm. Though the VR failed, a definite idea had taken root.注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。The crowd’s laughter faded as the head judge stood up, microphone in hand._________________________________________________________________________Two weeks later, volunteers arrived at the school with gardening tools and young trees._________________________________________________________________________命题预测【参考范文】The crowd’s laughter faded as the head judge stood up, microphone in hand. “What an inspiring idea!” he exclaimed. “Though your VR project faced setbacks, your passion for the environment truly shines. We can turn this virtual failure into a real - world success.” He proposed that the school initiate a tree - planting project. The audience burst into applause, and excitement filled the air. Maya and I exchanged excited glances, our disappointment replaced by newfound determination.Two weeks later, volunteers arrived at the school with gardening tools and young trees. Students from different grades gathered, eager to contribute. Maya and I led the way, showing others how to dig holes and plant saplings. The girl with the stuffed owl was there, her eyes bright with enthusiasm. As we watered the newly - planted trees, we knew that our message about protecting the environment had truly taken hold. What started as a VR disaster had blossomed into a meaningful movement to make our world greener.命题预测考向2冰箱里的春天 （2025·全国天域名校协作体高三试题）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。The Popsicle KidsA nearly empty box of Popsicles (棒冰) in the freezer, left from a grandchild’s visit, caught my attention. Initially, I wanted to throw it away, but my wife suggested we give the remaining Popsicles to the neighborhood children. Her suggestion changed our life and led us to a future full of “Popsicle Kids.” My wife and I, retired on Social Security, live in an apartment complex. After careers in sales and nursing, our daily concerns revolved around aches, pains, and dinner. We often wondered what good we were to the world. That changed dramatically after we gave away the first Popsicle. Minutes after watching a neighbor boy, a second grader, walk away with an icy treat, our doorbell rang. An adorable blond girl, about six, smiled sweetly, “Is it true you’re giving away Popsicles?” 命题预测With the box empty, we returned to our concerns. Early the next morning, the doorbell rang repeatedly. Standing on our porch were the four children from the previous day. They vocalized their wants, chanting (有节奏地喊), “We want Popsicles! We want Popsicles!” Looking into their eager young faces, I wondered, “What have I started?” Sensing a victory, they nodded eagerly when I explained the rules: ring the bell once, one Popsicle per day, and share something good about their day. But their thin shoulders bent downwards in disappointment when I mentioned they had to give something in return. I came to the rescue, suggesting they share something positive about their day, like what they learned at school or helping another student. Over time, new rules were added: “Ladies first,” “Don’t interrupt,” and “Properly get rid of the sticks.” On holidays, they expressed their understanding of why the day was celebrated. Over the years, about fifty youngsters visited. Some became part of my life, like the four kids who joined me on the steps one spring to read “Where the Red Fern Grows.” We discussed catching crawfish, loving pets, and family relationships. This simple act of sharing Popsicles transformed our life, bringing joy and meaning to both the children and ourselves.命题预测注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。One night, another boy appeared at the door, saying “I don’t want a Popsicle; I just need to talk.” ______________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________I’ve sensed it’s more than Popsicles that bring these kids to our door.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________命题预测【参考范文】 One night, another boy appeared at the door, saying “I don’t want a Popsicle; I just need to talk.” It amazed me that the little kid was eager to talk to an old man. The boy complained his sister always bossed him around , which made him very cross. Coming up to the boy, I touched his head gently, and told him to take care of his own thing without being told, and his sister’s problem would be solved. He wasn’t smiling when he left, but I think he had a better understanding of his role in the family. I’ve sensed it’s more than Popsicles that bring these kids to our door. Sometimes, they’re more eager to share that they are not understanding an assignment or that they’re being bullied. The “Popsicle Kids” have given me a new sense of purpose. We’ve dried tears, broken up fights and hopefully been another source of love in their lives. And, just maybe, we’ve helped establish some positive attitudes they can use throughout their lives. Our lives are now full once more. What we receive from these kids is worth far more than the cost of a few treats.命题预测考向3冰河卫士——我的守护犬叫“熊”（2025·浙江省名校协作体）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。Bear was not a bear. She was a big dog on the Perkinses' family farm, a woolly creature with floppy ears and paws like bedroom slippers. She protected the ducks and chickens from being eaten by foxes and raccoons(浣熊).She guarded the children as well, watching over them as closely as she did the chickens and ducks. In winter the dog ran alongside the children as they sledded (滑雪橇) down snowy hills. In summer she swam with them in a nearby river.Bear belonged to a breed(品种) that had long been used by Atlantic fishermen to help with their work, and it had a keen instinct for water rescue. When the children were in the river, the dog would swim in circles around them, barking when she felt they went out too far. She was the perfect farm dog—— companion, guardian, protector.The dog's favorite among the three children was three-year-old little Mike. They often curled up together. Sometimes Bear would doze while Mike pretended to read to her. Often both were sound asleep, a tangle of dark fur, blond hair, small hands and huge paws. At bedtime, Mike saved his last hug for Bear, his “best friend”.命题预测On a cold winter day, when their parents went out to send a parcel, eight-year-old Martha, seven-year-old Sara and Mike, went to slide on the frozen pond of their farm. Shouting happily, they slid back and forth, their boots gliding easily across the ice. They laughed as they watched Bear's attempts to stop suddenly, which would instead send her skidding beyond them. Then, tired, the three sat down on the ice, with Bear beside them. Suddenly the ice gave way under their combined weight. As Bear jumped for shore, the three children fell into the freezing cold water. Screaming, Martha and Sarah struggled to find footing on rocks underwater. Branches from a tree nearby provided handholds, and using every bit of their strength, the two girls pulled themselves to shore.注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右：(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk(大块) office, unable to crawl onto it. ________________________________________________________________ Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water; heading straight for Mike.______________________________________________________________________命题预测【参考范文】Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk of ice, unable to crawl onto it. Panic slammed into Martha and Sara like a hammer; their breaths came in harsh clouds as the wind howled across the pond. “Mike, keep your arms up—— don't let go!” Martha shouted, her voice cracking with fear she tried to hide. Yet the boy's lips were turning a frightening shade of blue, and water sloshed over his boots each time the ice tilted. The sisters clung to a low branch, but the thought of re-entering the frigid hole was unbearable. With no adults in sight and daylight fading, the brittle silence of the farm suddenly felt enormous.Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. Powerful strokes sliced the surface as spray flew from her coat, each kick driving the dog closer to the terrified child. When she reached him, she circled once, nudging his arm with her nose until Mike's arms slid over her broad shoulders. Instinct took over. Gripping his jacket between her teeth, she turned toward shore and began towing her passenger. Martha and Sara lay flat on the ice, stretching a long branch. The moment Bear's paws scraped frozen ground, the girls hauled the boy and the dog together, collapsing in a trembling heap of relief.2026年高考英语 二轮复习感谢观看THANKS
