届高考英语读后续写深度解读（七）
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 H
eiss
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.

【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
< br>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。
