Pumpkin (南瓜) carving at Halloween is a family tradition. 在万圣节雕刻南瓜(南瓜)是一个家庭传统。 We visit a local farm every October. 每年十月我们都会参观当地的一个农场。 In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. 在南瓜地里，我和我的三个哥哥姐姐比赛，寻找最大的南瓜。 My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage-I carried an 85-pounder back last year. 我爸爸有个规矩，就是我们必须把南瓜带回家，作为长子，我有一个优势——去年我带了一个85磅重的南瓜。 This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. 今年，很难说是我选的得奖，还是我14岁的哥哥贾森(Jason)选的那个奖得奖。 Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. 不幸的是，我们在取出它们的内脏之前忘了称重量，但我决心证明我的观点。 All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual event. 我们所有人都在厨房的桌子旁努力工作，我的妈妈拍摄这个年度活动。 I’m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time. 我现在不知道为什么，我认为把我的头塞进南瓜里就能解决这个问题，但这在当时似乎是完全合理的。 With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost, I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. 南瓜放在桌子上，洞在最上面，我弯下腰，用头顶着洞口。 At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented entry. 起初，我的眼睛上方被卡住了，然后，当我继续我的任务时，我不愿放弃，我的鼻子暂时阻止了进入。 Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork (软木塞) forced into a bottle. 最后,我设法把我的整个的头,像一个软木塞(软木塞)被迫塞进瓶子里。 I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders. 巨大的南瓜搭在我的肩膀上，我才得以挺直身子。 My excitement was short-lived. 我的兴奋是短暂的。 The pumpkin was heavy. 南瓜很重。 “I’m going to set it down, now,” I said,and with Jason helping to support its weight，I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. “现在我要把它放下来了，”我说，贾森帮着支撑它的重量，我又俯身在桌子上给它找个地方休息一下。 It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. 当我试图把头移开时，我才意识到，出去要比进去容易得多。 When I pulled hard, my nose got in the way. 我用力拉的时候，鼻子挡住了。 I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was no use. 我陷入了恐慌，我紧紧地靠在桌子上，转动着我的头，试图找到正确的角度，但没有用。 “I can’t get it out!” “我拔不出来了!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space. 我喊道，我的声音在这个封闭的空间里听起来很不自然。 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1 It was five or six minutes though it felt much longer. Paragraph 2 The video was posted the Monday before Halloween. 【答案】Paragraph 1 It was five or six minutes though it felt much longer. Dad was summoned – less, it seemed, in expectation of practical help than to make sure he didn’t miss out on the spectacle. I heard him propose calling the fire department. “Stay tuned,” said Mom; she’d mentioned she was going to upload the video to Facebook, but it was only then I realized she’d been filming the whole time. The video cuts before my rescue —Dad got me to push my head farther into the pumpkin so Mom could reach in and undo the rubber band round my ponytail. I emerged with squash-conditioned hair, a sore chin and my nose plugged with pulp. Paragraph 2 The video was posted the Monday before Halloween. By the end of that day, it had over 1,000 views. People asked Mom to put it on YouTube, and by Wednesday morning we were getting 5:00 am calls from TV breakfast shows and then the international media – the video started racking up hundreds of thousands of views. When I went on a youth camp, I was recognized by children I’d never met. The pumpkin also became a minor celebrity. Passersby and trick-or-treaters would knock and ask, “Which is Rachel’s pumpkin?” before taking selfies with it. 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者家有在万圣节雕刻南瓜的传统，今年也不例外，家里所有人都在厨房的餐桌上辛勤地工作着，而作者的妈妈则在拍摄一年一度的活动。结果作者将头伸进了南瓜里，被卡住了，无论如何也无法挣脱出来，妈妈却趁机拍下了这一幕，后来作者得救，视频也被上传到网上走红，这段视频开始获得数十万的点击量。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“虽然时间只过去了五、六分钟，但还是感觉要长得多。”可知，第一段可描写作者是如何在爸爸的帮助下得救的。 ②由第二段首句内容“这段视频是在万圣节前的周一发布的。”可知，第二段可描写作者头被卡在南瓜里这段视频在网上的走红情况，以及视频走红对作者家和作者的影响。 2.续写线索：爸爸被喊来帮忙——妈妈拍下了全过程——作者得救——视频被上传——视频走红——视频对作者家和作者的影响 3词汇激活 行为类 确保：make sure / guarantee 打算做某事：be going to do sth./ intend to do sth. 出来：emerge / come out 情绪类 实际：practical / useful 出名：become a minor celebrity / be famous 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I went on a youth camp, I was recognized by children I’d never met.
