何为伏笔foreshadowing
伏笔是文学创作中描写、叙述的一种手法,指作者对将要在作品中出现的人物或事件,预作提示或暗示,以求前后呼应。这种手法有助于全文达到结构严谨、情节
发展合理的效果,其最显著的特征是有伏必应。
何为呼应echo
呼应照应是文学创作中描写、叙述的一种手法,指作品下文与上文相呼应,即“回应上文”。好的伏笔与照应能起到暗示、点题、沟通文章内部联系等作用,使文理通顺,合情合理,往往能让人产生心灵共鸣或意外的阅读惊喜。
一:伏笔类型:
六大类伏笔精讲与真题示范:
·主题伏笔 (Theme):如“A Mother’s Day Surprise”中的“surprise”主题词贯穿呼应。
·对话伏笔 (Dialogue):如父亲对Jack的指令暗示后续抉择。
·性格伏笔 (Character):如严格老师的描写预示其对纪律问题的处理;David的坚毅性格决定其比赛表现。
·物件伏笔 (Object):如“钢琴”、“黄衬衫”、“爆米花与纸袋”、“饼干”等关键道具的复用与闭环。
·环境伏笔 (Setting):如天气突变、森林美景变恐怖景象的场景反转。
·动作伏笔 (Action):如David独特的跑步姿势、蜂鸟的特定动作在续写中的动态延续。
Theme Foreshadowing主题伏笔
I was frightened! To my sadness, I found that two small children had fallen into the hole on the road... I told them that I was going to look for help. I knew the neighbors well, and they all shared a sense of neighborliness(睦邻友好), willing to give a hand.
…
These people and their timely help in such a critical moment not only saved the two children but also gave me a deeper insight into neighborliness。
Dialogue Foreshadowing对话伏笔
Dad looked at Jack, “Well, in the morning go and take a look. Take the gun and some hay(干草).If they look as if they can survive, give them the hay. If not..." Jack looked serious, and slowly nodded.
...
Jack walked around the horses. He frowned at the sight of their miserable conditions-lying on the piles of snow, faint breath coming out of their nose.____
Character Foreshadowing性格伏笔
As the new teacher, Ms.Thompson, entered the classroom, her piercing gaze(锐利的目光)and serious expression immediately caught the attention of the students. In fact, rumors(流言) about her strict disciplinehad long been echoing through the hallways long before her arrival...
One day, during a lesson, Tommy, the class troublemaker, couldn't resist the urge to crack a
joke, disrupting the class with his booming laughter. Ms. Thompson, not missing a beat, calmly
approached him.__
Object Foreshadowing物件伏笔
For a long time, I had been longing for a piano of my own. Whenever I passed the piano shop on the street , I would stop, looking at the beautiful piano standing in the corner of the shop window. One day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. It had gone! Disappointed, helpless and sad, I returned home. On entering the house, I couldn't believe my eyes.
Setting Foreshadowing环境伏笔
1. Rachel hurried home after work. It was duskand the sky was quickly clouding over.She wonders aloud whether it's about to start raining. As she kept walking along the narrow path,distant thunder rumbled. The wind picked up, carrying the fallen leaves into a wild dance. Suddenly,____________
二:伏笔的功能
引用契诃夫名言“枪在墙上必响”(Chekhov’s Gun),生动阐释伏笔呼应的必要性。
Writer Anton Chekhov(契科夫) famously said,“If in the first act(第一幕) you have hung a pistol(手枪) on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired.”
A pistol on the wall/Chekhov's gun- Foreshadowing
It is fired.一Echoing (呼应)
Foreshadowingcreates a sense of suspense(悬念)and keeps the reader interested.
Echoingthe foreshadowing can create a strong sense of coherence(连贯).

所给短文材料的题目“A Mother's Day Surprise”点明了文章的主题,续写中数次提到surprise进行照应,且文末用What a beautiful and sweet surprise!形成首尾呼应,相得益彰。

本文的主题渗透在短文材料的字里行间,需要学生自行总结一一年少的“我”不理解父亲,觉得自己辛苦挣得钱给父亲补贴家用十分不公平。续写中“我”欣然将挣的钱给了父亲,也逐渐开始理解父亲,完成了个人成长,与文章主题呼应。

所给短文多处刻画蜂鸟的动作:悬停在“我”面前,看着“我”的眼睛,头转来转去。续写中使用原词hovered, looking at me with her bright eyes turning her head from side to side回应了所给短文中的动作描写,情节设置合情合理。

所给短文中描写了David跑向“我”的动作,由于脑疾,他跑起来左摇右摆(his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward),两篇范文都捕捉到了这一动作伏笔,对David比赛中跑起步来踉踉跄跄的姿势进行了刻画。

所给短文中出现了老师鼓励作者的话,续写中又出现了师生互动的场面,本范文巧妙引用了所给短文中老师的原话,稍加修改,鼓励之语变成了一句对学生获奖的评价之语,非常贴切。

所给短文用了四个形容词来描写妈妈(loving,sweet, absent-minded ,forgetful),续写结尾设计了妈妈忘记带给外公外婆礼物的情节,文章的协同性、艺术性、趣味性大大增强。

所给短文中铺垫了两个物件伏笔----爆米花和装爆米花的纸袋。续写第一段充分利用这两个物件伏笔,设置了孩子们制作爆米花,母亲去买纸袋,将装满爆米花的纸袋交给Bernard的情节,巧妙的情节设计读起来十分贴切,毫无违和感。

所给短文使用了大量环境描写向读者展现了一幅森林美景:褐色的岩石、墨绿的松树,在斜阳的交织下使得森林宛如-张美丽的编织毯。这时的森林给作者的感受是静谧、神奇的。续写部分描述的是作者天黑迷路后的场景,充分利用了所给短文中铺垫的环境描写,继续沿用所给短文的写作风格,描绘了一幅天黑后美景变恐怖景象的画面,构思十分巧妙。

My wife and I wanted to share our new home with family and friends by hosting a small gathering in the early summer. She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order.
There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn’t counted on: My brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50-pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock over my niece’s small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside.
My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started to rain and everyone went indoors.
It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother wasn’t happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue.
A few days passed, and I hadn’t heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: “Not a chance.” Clearly, he was unhappy over the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he’ll get over it, I reasoned.
Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he should call first. However, my conscience kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother’s shoes. He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier. Toby was his constant companion, the one who kept him going.
para1: I realized it was me who was at fault.
para2: With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother's door.
材料Para1:
My wife and I wanted to share our new home with family and friends by hosting a small gathering in the early summer. She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order.

2025年1月高考(浙江首考)读后续写
Kevin was pretty bored. His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye.
Mrs. Hill's front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green's house across the street. The couple had both gone to work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill's home phone and called the police.
Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill's house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down tree, he jumped in through the window."Stop right there! You must leave right now!" he called out, holding the branch with both hands.
The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief."Hey, kid, put that down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father's watch was here," he explained, trying to lift a floorboard.
At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what had happened. They pursued and arrested the man.
Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill's house. Somehow he wasn't sure he had done the right thing."What if he had told the truth?" he thought to himself. The man's words sounded pretty convincing.
Para 1 When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them.

2025年6月全国二卷读后续写
“What is your name? ” is a question most frequently asked when people meet for the first time. But for me, it was the first challenge I encountered as an international student in Ireland.
The pronunciation system of the Chinese language is quite different from that of English. For native speakers of English, some Chinese words are rather difficult to pronounce. My given name Qiuyu(秋雨), for instance, happened to be a great challenge for many of them. Every time I gave a self-introduction, I had to explain how to pronounce my name at least five times, yet they still could not say it the way I did.
Once in a lecture, the professor tried repeating my name after me over and over in front of thirty classmates. I really did not know whether I should continue correcting him or simply drop the matter. I feared that my classmates might grow tired of my efforts or even lose patience with me. After all, I did care about how others would think of me. I realized that if I didn't stop, the entire lecture would be ruined. “It's okay, professor,” I shrugged(耸肩). The awkward moment ended with the class erupting into laughter. I forced a smile, unsure how to respond further.
After that incident, I stopped acting as a “Chinese teacher. ” Instead of correcting others when they were struggling to pronounce my name, I just smiled and nodded approvingly. This approach spared me the discomfort of having to over-explain. However, I soon found that by doing so, I might be losing something more important: the opportunity to share a small part of my cultural identity.
Para 1:In a class discussion, I was invited to explain the meaning of my name. Para 2: Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class. |
