一：典题技法指导

When Grandpa was a young man, there’d been herds of livestock spread across the mountain.

By the time I was born there was a whole herd of wild horses on the mountain.

But wild horses don’t yield easily. My brother Shawn and I would spend days, even weeks,

earning the horse’s trust. Then we would stroke(轻抚) its long face and gradually, over more

weeks, work our hands around its wide neck and down its muscular body. After a month of this

we’d bring out the saddle(马鞍), and the horse would toss its head suddenly and with such

violence that the halter(缰绳) would snap or the rope break.

I was thrown from dozens of these horses as they bucked(弓背四蹄跳跃), reared, rolled or

leapt. I hit the dirt in a hundred sprawling postures, each time righting myself in an instant and

skittering to the safety of a tree, tractor or fence, in case the horse was feeling vengeful.

We never triumphed; our strength of will faltered long before theirs. Their natures hadn’t

changed. They were pitiless, powerful avatars from another world. To mount them was to

surrender your footing, to move into their domain.

The first domesticated horse I ever saw was a fully grown male horse, and it was standing

next to the corral, nibbling sugar cubes from Shawn’s hand. It was mine, a gift from a great-uncle

on my mother’s side.

It was a hazy summer evening, a month before I turned fifteen. The sun had dipped below the

mountain peak but the sky still held a few hours of light. That evening, Shawn saddled a new

horse, a copper-coated mare, for the first time. She was ready for a short ride, Shawn said, so we

mounted, him on the mare, me on Bud. We made it about half a mile up the mountain, winding our

way through the wheat fields. Then I did something foolish. I got too close to the mare, and with

no warning she leapt forward, thrusting her weight onto her front legs, and with her hind legs

kicked Bud full in the chest.

Bud went wild.

Shawn caught up.

参考范文

Bud went gave a tremendous jolt, and then began to buck, throwing his body in tight

circles. The reins flew over his head. I gripped the saddle horn and squeezed my thighs together,

curving my legs around his bulging belly. Before I could get my bearings, Bud took off at a dead

run. Sometimes, he reared, thrusting his head so high I thought he might tumble backward. I

tightened my grip on the horn, making a decision, based on a kind of instinct, not to surrender my

hold.

Shawn caught up. He lifted his body from the saddle and tilted himself toward the ground,

holding his reins tightly in one hand while, with the other, he snatched Bud’s reins from the weeds.

The leather straps pulled taut; the bit forced Bud’s head up and forward. With his head raised, Bud

could no longer buck and he entered a smooth, rhythmic gallop. Finally, I slid from the saddle

safelyand lay in the wheat, the itchy stalks poking through my shirt. Above my head the horses

panted, their bellies swelling and collapsing, their hooves pawing at the dirt.

二：课后练习

尝试用上面学到的语言表达续写2018浙江卷·读后续写的第一段

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to

take me on a trip to the Wild West.

We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached

Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and

drove us up to his farm in Pecos.

His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My

dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water

rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.

“The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the

chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was

impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.

In the afternoon, I asked U ncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as

my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put

on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be

late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my

dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful

and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun

mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon

the ground just for us.

Paragraph 1:

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.

参考答案：

The horse gave a tremendous jolt, and then it took off at a dead run. I squeezed my thighs

together, curving my legs around its belly, though my mind went totally blank and heart pounding

wildly. After a split second, my dad caught up. He lifted his body from the saddle, and tilted

himself to snatch the halter from my horse. The leather straps pulled taut. With its head forced up

and forward, it gradually entered a smooth, rhythmic gallop.
