副词开头
我们先来看两个例句:
Carefully, he stepped over all the broken glass.
他小心翼翼地踩过了所有的碎玻璃。
Joyfully, he skipped up the street.
他很高兴地跳过了街道。
这里的carefully和joyfully把后面的两个动作“step踩”和“skip跳”描写的更加细致和生动。
我们来看2016年高考真题。故事大致是这样的:夫妻旅游途中吵架,妻子独自离开,迷路在树林里,直升飞机来了几次救援但没有看见她,她感到很失望。
第一段开头的提示句是:But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again.意思是:没有直升机来了,天又黑了。同学们,可以想一想,我们该怎么接下来写开头呢?我们来看看下面的写法:
Immediately, an absolute darkness ruled the forest.
立刻,一片黑暗笼罩着森林。
这里就用了:时间副词immediately衔接 + 环境描写,烘托了森林里迷路的紧张气氛。

形容词短语开头
我们先看两个例句:Curious to know what was inside, he tiptoed into the dark cave.他好奇地想知道里面是什么,踮着脚尖走进了黑暗的洞穴。
这里的“Curious to know what was inside, 很想知道里面有什么东西”就是形容词短语,表明他进洞穴的原因。相当于:He was curious to know what was inside, and he tiptoed into the dark cave.
Unable to say a word, he was rooted to the spot.
一句话也说不出来,他就愣在了原地。
这里的“unable to say a word”也是一个形容词短语,表现了“愣在原地”这个动作伴随动作:说不出一个字。
我们来看2018年高考真题,讲的是爸爸带儿子去朋友家农场游玩而迷路的故事。第一段开头给的提示句是:Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. 突然,一只小兔子跳到了我的马前。
怎么接下来写开头呢?我们可以这么写:
Afraid that I might hurt the lovely small creature, I automatically let out a cry to stop my horse. 意思是:我害怕我会伤害这个可爱的小生物,我自动发出一声喊叫来阻止我的马。这里用情绪形容词+从句的形式,很好体现了后一个动作“喊叫cry”的原因。
我们来看这篇文章的 第二段开头:
文章给的提示句是:We had no idea where we were and it got dark.我们不知道自己在哪里,天变黑了。
怎么接下来写开头呢?我们可以这么写:

3
非谓语开头
先看这个例句:Looking around him cautiously, he slipped into the room and softly closed the door.
他小心翼翼地环顾四周,溜进了房间,轻轻地关上门。
这里的“Looking around him cautiously”意思是:小心翼翼地环顾四周,是一个非谓语动词短语。
我们来看2016年高考真题第一段开头,刚才提到过,讲了妻子在森林里迷路的故事。
文章给的提示句是:But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again.但是没有直升机来了,天又黑了。刚才我们用副词开头写了一个句子。现在我们用非谓语开头,怎么写呢?我们可以这么写:
Feeling disappointed, Jane had to stay alone for another night. 简感到失望,不得不再呆一夜。本句中的开头,用了doing的形式,即feeling disappointed感到失望。
我们再来看2016年10月高考真题第二段开头:
文章给的提示句是:It was daybreak when Jane woke up. 简醒来的时候天已经亮了。怎么接下来写开头呢?
我们可以这么写:
Feeling refreshed, she continued to walk along the stream to find the way out.她感到神清气爽,继续沿着小溪散步,寻找出去的路。这里用feeling refreshed的形式,很好体现了后一个动作“walk”的伴随状态。
4
对话或独白开头
先看一个例句:
“Let’s see who gets there first!” Rachel shouted, as she pedaled fast and zoomed past Jenny.
“让我们看看谁先到那里去!”瑞秋一边叫着,一边飞快地蹬着车从珍妮身边冲过去。
类似的写法,我们来看2017年高考真题,文章主要讲的是作者和朋友一起骑车游玩,途中遇狼的故事。第一段开头文章给的提示句是:The car abruptly stopped in front of him. 汽车突然停在他面前。
怎么接下来写开头呢?我们可以这么写:"Get into thecar." Paul shouted at Mac. “上车!” 保罗对麦克喊道。
5
背景描写
我们来看2017年高考真题,文章讲了作者与健忘的妈妈一块去旅游的故事。
第二段开头的提示语是这样的:We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way(我们开车穿过了几个州,沿途看到了很多好风景。)
怎么接下来写开头呢?我们可以这么写:
I looked out of the car window, winding rivers, lofty mountains, sunny beaches and deep valleys, holding me entirely in their fascination.
我望着车窗外,蜿蜒的河流,高耸的山脉,阳光明媚的海滩和深邃的山谷,完全吸引了我的注意力。这里用“视觉+环境描写+拟人”的写作手法,也成功地抓住了读者的注意力!
6
行为描写
Furry started wagging his tail and running around in circles when he saw his master taking a leash out from the drawer. Furry was all ready for his evening walk.
当他看到他的主人从抽屉里拿出一条皮带时,Furry开始摇,绕着圈跑。Furry准备好了晚上的散步。一连串有关Furry的动作链,像放电影一样,印刻在读者的大脑中。为后面情节发展做好了铺垫。
我们来看2017年高考真题,仍然是作者与健忘妈妈一块去旅游的故事。
文章的第一段的提示句是:The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we had brought with us.(第二天,我们想起了我们带来的那个全新的帐篷。)
怎么接下来写开头呢?我们可以这么写:
Dad exchanged a glance with me. Why not camp to satisfy Mom?
爸爸和我相互看了一眼。 为什么不露营来满足妈妈?
这里就用到了“动作描写+问句”衔接。很好勾起了读者的兴趣。
