2024年高考英語易錯題：讀后續(xù)寫5大陷阱（學生版）（新高考專用）

易錯點27讀后續(xù)寫

易錯陷阱1：審題不清、文本內(nèi)容易混易錯點.

【分析】

只有把材料讀透，才能明確故事主線，把握續(xù)寫方向，為續(xù)寫奠定基礎(chǔ)。很多考生因為詞

匯匱乏、時間不夠等種種原因沒有讀透文本信息，導致續(xù)寫嚴重偏離所給素材、跑題等錯誤。

為了表現(xiàn)角色的成長或事件的發(fā)展，文中會出現(xiàn)影響角色成長和事件發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵線索，而這些

線索之間的邏輯關(guān)系，構(gòu)成事件發(fā)生的經(jīng)過，就是文章的主線。

易錯陷阱2：段首句推理銜接易混易錯點.

【分析】

續(xù)寫部分的內(nèi)容，無論是時間的先后還是情節(jié)的發(fā)展，都以第一段和第二段首句這兩句話

為內(nèi)在聯(lián)系的連接點。它們直接決定了情節(jié)的發(fā)展方向.考生容易忽略這兩句的作用，或是第

二段首句與第一段結(jié)尾之間的聯(lián)系。應當根據(jù)第二段首句逆推第一段尾句，即過渡句。

易錯陷阱3：情節(jié)發(fā)展和結(jié)局易混易錯點.

【分析】

續(xù)寫必須與原文內(nèi)容故事銜接自然、連貫。語言風格與所給材料應當保持一致.要緊扣原

文主題、預設(shè)核心沖突、推動故事發(fā)展。所給材料中可能會有很多伏筆，并且可能較為零星的

分布在所給材料中，考生不必分別進行回應，只選取有助于推動情節(jié)發(fā)展或凸顯故事主線的伏

筆來設(shè)置情節(jié).

一般來說，文章的第一段會介紹故事發(fā)生的背景、人物的性格特點等，為可能出現(xiàn)的矛盾沖

突做好鋪墊，考生應當善于發(fā)現(xiàn)和利用這些伏筆。

結(jié)局設(shè)置巧妙，可以對續(xù)寫起到畫龍點睛的作用。一般選擇“首尾呼應”或“情感升華”來

傳遞作者的思想感情和感悟，凸顯作者的變化.

具體讀后續(xù)寫升華句和寫作要領(lǐng)詳見本作者編撰的專輯《2023年新高考英語滿分作文讀

后續(xù)寫高分突破+萬能金句》。

易錯陷阱4：詞句易混易錯點.

【分析】

為豐富故事的情節(jié)，充實續(xù)寫的內(nèi)容和升級語言，考生會用到多樣化的詞匯或句型。而匱

乏的詞匯量和薄弱的基礎(chǔ)知識則會造成高級句型和詞匯的錯用.

易錯陷阱5：卷面易混易錯點.

【分析】

整潔優(yōu)美的卷面會成為加分的一個因素。有點考生不注意規(guī)范書寫，字母大小隨意，字跡潦

草不清，亂涂亂畫，書寫馬虎等都會給閱卷者留下“臟、舌L、差”等印象。讀后續(xù)寫不同于第

一部分寫作，其分值更高，故優(yōu)美的卷面留下的印象分占比更大。
