高考英语读后续写深度解读
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention. He was
hiking the remote expanse of land behind his ranch (大牧场) in
Patagonia, Arizona, a town near the U.S.-Mexico border, and covered the
grass was a balloon—or at least the remains of one. Heiss walked toward
it with his dog, Feliz, thinking he should pick up the latex (乳胶) pieces
and throw them away.
That’s when he noticed the balloon’s string was attached to a piece of
paper.
“Dayami,” it read on one side, in a child’s writing. A hand-drawn bow
accompanied the word.
Heiss turned the paper over quickly. It was a numbered list, all in
Spanish. “My Spanish isn’t very good, but I could see it
was a Christmas list,” he said.
Heiss was charmed. He thought that a child had tried to send Santa
Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself
when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned the letters Heiss had sent
into the air, but he wondered whether he couldn’t find the child who
had sent this one.
It would be difficult, but Heiss knew about 20 miles to the southwest,
just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico, with a population
of about a quarter million. “Based on the prevailing wind (盛行风), I was
pretty sure that’s where it came from,” he said.
Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is fluent in Spanish and
helped him translate the list. They determined that Dayami, probably
a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes, and art supplies among
other things.
Heiss then posted about his request on the Internet, attaching
photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the
girl’s family.
A few days passed with no leads; Heiss worried that time was running
out before Christmas. Therefore, he decided to send a private message
to Radio XENY, an AM radio station based in Nogales if they could help.
续写要求：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 至少使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1:
To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away.
Paragraph 2:
They bought just about everything on Dayami’s list.
【思路点拨】
1.文本细解读，确定续写结局
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Heiss在徒步旅行途中发现了附在气球上的“圣诞礼
物清单”，后来在懂西班牙语的妻子的帮助下，他们希望通过网络寻找这位用气
球送愿望清单的女孩Dayami，并决定帮她实现梦想。但是在数天没有结果后，
他们决定在圣诞节之前通过当地的无线广播寻找她。
续写部分应为故事的结局，即Heiss夫妇是否找到Dayami且帮助她实现圣诞梦
想。根据文章内容可知，Heiss夫妇热情、富有爱心，明确了Dayami的所在之
地且通过各种方式找寻Dayami，因此续写结局可设置为他们找到了Dayami一
家并送了圣诞节礼物给她。
2.段首句解读，确定续写方向
续写第一段首句写道“让他惊讶的是，很快就有人从电台给他打电话了”；第二
段首句写道“他们买了Dayami的清单上的全部礼物”。由此可知第一段内容应
着重描写他们得到了电台的帮助。他们通过电台扩散寻找Dayami的消息，最终
找到了Dayami；这与第二段段首“他们买了Dayami的清单上的全部礼物”形
成巧妙衔接。续写第二段内容应着重描写他们前往电台办公室见Dayami，以及
一些简单的交流。
3.划线词解读，规划续写细节
1）分类划线词
人物——Heiss, Dayami, wife
环境——Radio XENY, family
事物——ballon, Christmas list, note, Internet
动作——find
2）构思具体情节
第一段具体情节：Heiss的妻子（wife）帮助他跟电台（Radio XENY）解释这
一切→最终电台方同意帮助他们寻找（find）小女孩（Dayami）→第二天早
上，电台就给他们回复说找到小女孩一家（family）了→Heiss希望能和小女孩
一家见个面；
第二段具体情节：Heiss夫妇买了要送给Dayami的礼物→他们开车去了电台，
终于见到了Dayami一家人→寒暄中了解到了挂着愿望清单的气球的故事。
【范文欣赏】
Paragraph 1:
To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right
away. Heiss’s wife helped explain the situation to Radio XENY host, who talked on the air about the quest to find Dayami and posted it on the
station’s website. The next morning, Heiss awoke to another message
from Radio XENY: They had located Dayami, an eight-year-old girl, and
her family, who indeed lived in Nogales. Would they be willing to
arrange a get-together at the radio station?
Paragraph 2:
They bought just about everything on Dayami’s list. They also bought a few other toys for good measure. Then the Heisses drove for 45 minutes,
crossing the border into Nogales. They arrived at the Radio XENY offices
with presents and finally met her. Her parents explained to the Heisses
that Dayami had been writing a letter containing her Christmas list to
Santa and sending it by balloon for years, but this was the first time
anyone had found the note. “It was a beautiful, beautiful experience,”
Heiss said. He paused. “Quite healing for us,” he added.
亮点积累
1.词汇
locate v. 找到；get-together 聚会；contain v.
包含，包括
2.短语
on the air 在广播中；be willing to 愿意做某事；for good measure 另外，附
加
3.提分句式
Her parents explained to the Heisses that Dayami had been writing a
letter containing her Christmas list to Santa and sending it by balloon for
years, but this was the first time anyone had found the note.
[分析] 该句使用了explain to sb. that...的宾语从句结构，意为“对某人解释说
某事”。宾语从句中，containing为现在分词，作letter的后置定语；but连接
了两个分句，后一分句套用句型“it was the first time (that) sb. had done
sth.”结构，意为“这是某人第一次做某事”。
[译文] 她的爸妈向Heiss一家解释了这个奇妙的故事：Dayami近几年来每年都
写一封包含她圣诞愿望清单的信并通过气球将它们送出去，但这是第一次有人发
现了这封信。
