2024年1月浙江首考读后续写参考范文6篇高三英语作文写作复习

2024年1月浙江首考读后续写原试题:【1】Eva spent the first week of high school trying to keep her head above water. One of the major headaches for her was finding her way in the huge school building. It was a sixstory building. On each floor, hallways stretched in four directions, leading to classrooms, laboratories, and teachers’ offices. Somewhere in the building, there was also a library, a cafeteria, and a gym.【2】Having a poor sense of direction, Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge building. All the different hallways and rooms were too much to think about, let alone mit to memory. She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn’t exist.【3】In her fast P.E. class, Eva was shocked when Coach Pitt announced that everyone had to run one mile around the track outside. She searched the faces of her classmates for signs of panic. There was nothing she feared more than having to run a whole mile. To Eva, “a mile” was used to describe long distances. It was ten miles from her home to her grandfather’s, and that always seemed like a long way, even in a car!【4】When Coach Pitt blew his whistle (哨子), Eva figured she would be left in the dust. However, while some of her classmates edged ahead, others actually fell behind. “It’s just the beginning;”she thought. “I’ll e in last for sure.”【5】Soon Eva began to breathe hard, with her heart pounding and legs shaking. Feeling desperate, Eva started using a mind wick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word “mile.” Instead, she focused on reaching the shadow east on the track by an oak tree up ahead. Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved (拐弯). After that, she tried to see if she could plete her first lap. One lap turned into two, then three, then four.Paragraph 1: When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised.Paragraph 2: Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building.参考范文1.When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised.She was the first to run across the line. Eva was out of breath and felt relaxed. Coach Pitt was also surprised and asked her, “What did you do on your way and how did you feel in the last 100 metres?” Eva calmed down and said, “I cut one mile into some laps, focusing on the shadow of the oak tree. When I finished one lap, I would feel proud of myself and I would feel not tired,but happy.” Coach Pitt heard these and clapped his hands, “Excellent work. You are so clever.” Suddenly, Eva wondered whether this trick could be used to find her way in the school building.Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building. One day, Eva used half a day to walk across each floor of the school building and drew a simple map about it. Then she searched each floor for something that was different from the other floors. After doing these, Eva drew the signs on the map of the building. In the following days, Eva remembered the signs on each floor. Before long, she was always the first to arrive at the classroom. Furthermore, Eva used the trick in her study and achieved an excellent academic performance. Her teachers were all amazed about her changes and her classmates also showed respect to her. From then on, Eva had more confidence to do anything.参考范文2When Coach Pitt congratulated Eva at the finish line, she was taken aback. She had been the first to cross the line. Out of breath and feeling relieved, Eva was surprised when Coach Pitt asked her about her approach and how she felt during the last 100 meters. Eva explained, “I divided the mile into laps, focusing on the shadow of the oak tree. After each lap, I felt proud and happy, not tired." Impressed, Coach Pitt exclaimed, "Excellent work. You're very clever." Suddenly, Eva wondered if this trick could help her navigate the school building.Eva decided to use the same method to tackle the school building. She spent half a day walking through each floor and creating a simple map. Then, she searched for unique features on each floor and marked them on the map. Soon, Eva memorized the signs on each floor and became the first to reach her classroom. She also applied the trick to her studies, achieving excellent academic performance. Her teachers and classmates were amazed by her progress, and Eva gained more confidence.参考范文3When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised. She turned around and just saw there were still several students struggling in the playground, pleting their running. A mixture of confidence and pride rose from the bottom of Eva’s heart. She clapped with Coach Pitt and gave him a delighted smile in return. Though out of breath, Eva couldn’t wait to share her great achievement in pleting the onemilelong running, and rushed to the huge construction, the sixstory building.Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building. “All right, I’ve just beaten one of my biggest enemies, now here es your turn,” Eva told herself and determined to make sense of the plex tracks in this building. She walked through the building floor by floor, storey by storey, memorizing each turning and all the directions. Then she pleted her exploration, heaving out a long sigh, and burst into laughter. “Now I know the way!”参考范文4When Coach Pitt said "Good job!" to Eva at the finish line, she felt surprised. Turning around, she saw several students still struggling to finish their run in the playground. A mix of confidence and pride filled Eva's heart. She clapped with Coach Pitt and smiled happily. Despite being out of breath, Eva was eager to share her achievement of pleting the onemile run and hurried towards the large sixstory building.Eva decided to approach the school building using the same method. "Alright, I've conquered one challenge, now it's your turn," she told herself, determined to navigate the plex building. She carefully explored each floor, memorizing the turns and directions. After pleting her exploration, she let out a long sigh and burst into laughter, saying, "Now I know the way!"参考范文5.When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised. Gasping for breath, Eva froze, her mouth wide open. She turned around and glanced at her classmates who were far behind her. Eva had thought how hard it was to plete the mile running, but now she made it! Even more astonishing was that she was the first to cross the finish line! Surrounded with congratulations and claps, Eva found happiness by reaching smaller goals. Focusing on the “oak tree” helped building up her confidence.Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building. Staring at the “plex” sixstory building, Eva murmured to herself, “you can do it!” Strongly determined, she began to walk toward her classroom, then the library and then the teacher’s office, memorizing the special signs of each room. Much to her joy, she managed to figure out the way to different destinations within a short time. What a fantastic resolution to improve her sense of direction! Through the two experiences, she realized that she could make progress in her studies by overing one difficulty after another!参考范文6When Coach Pitt praised Eva at the finish line, she was surprised.

When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.I chose Paul Revere’s horse as m y subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.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。

Thanks to my conservative(保守的) Jewish background, I didn’t believe in angels. That is, not until Christmas Eve of 1979, when an angel brought unexpected joy to my home.
After divorce, my two daughters not only lost the security of a whole family, they also tearfully left behind neighborhood friends, a familiar school, and a large house. These had all been replaced with a narrow two-bedroom apartment in a poorer part of town.
I arranged to take my vocat ion during my children’s winter school holiday. We spent evenings planning activities: cookie baking, games, a pizza night, and evening car rides to view neighborhood holiday lights. With expectation, they seemed to be in good spirits.
The week before the school break, however, terrible news of family disasters arrived. By Christmas Eve, gloom clouded our vacation plans. An afternoon outing for movie did little to improve our mood.
On returning to our apartment, we were astonished to see a beautiful, six-foot Christmas tree propped(支撑) against our front door. In silent wonder, we looked back and forth, from the tree to one another and around the empty street. Excitement built, and the girls begged to keep the tree.
“Maybe it’s for us,” insisted my older daug hter.
“Yeah,” echoed my younger child. “I bet an angel brought it to us!”
I laughed aloud at the idea of an angel bringing a Christmas tree to a Jewish family. Caught up in their happiness, I pronounced the tree “ours.”
We dragged it inside and headed out to the only supermarket in our small town open that late on Christmas Eve. With holiday goods marked down to half price, I gave a nod of approval to a tree stand(底座), two boxes of multicolored balls, a package of six Santa figurines(小雕像), a 100-foot string of mini lights, and one paper angel.
Paragraph 1:
Back home, we moved “our” tree into our tiny living room.
Paragraph 2:
The annual winter holiday became a family tradition.

We strung the lights, hung the multicolored balls and placed the paper angel on top. Finally, with a girl in each of my arms, we sat in the darkness, attracted by the twinkling Christmas tree lights.

The annual winter holiday became a family tradition.We’d feel complete with a “Jewish Angel” Christmas tree in member of our heaven-sent gift. For many years, we held our breath and experienced the familiar feeling up our arms when we placed the original paper angel on the top of each tree. Still, every Christmas Eve, my daughters and I talked about the unexpected joy that Christmas tree had brought us and about the special childhood memories at that time.

It was a hot summer day. My dad and I were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat. T hat’s when the phone call came, the call that made the bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, gloomy one.
I had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top, and packed my bag with sunscreen and everything else I would need for that day. I ran into my parents’ r oom to find dad. When I saw him on the phone, he was crying. I’d never seen my dad cry before. What possibly could have happened?
“Max, I’m so sorry,” I heard him say. That’s when it hit me. I knew that Suzie had died.
Max has been my dad’s best friend for years. Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. Her brain was OK. She knew what was going on; she knew that she had problems and was different than other kids. Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldn’t live a normal life, she was still happy.
When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew apart. She lived in New York, and I lived in Midwest. When Suzie was ten she had to live in hospital. I sent her a Beanie Baby and she sent one back to me. About eight months before she。
