Ⅳ.【思路点拨】 本文介绍了作者的家庭传统——制作玉米粉蒸肉。作者一家人准备食材,一起在厨房制作玉米粉蒸肉,并分发给朋友。但是,随着家人的离世,只剩下作者和妈妈,他们因悲伤而不愿继续这一传统。在这个感恩节前的一个周六,虽然只有作者和妈妈两个人,但他们决定进行他们的家庭惯例。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当我们把一切都安排好后,我投入到了之前的惯例中。”可知,第一段可结合前文内容描写作者和妈妈准备食材,完成玉米粉蒸肉的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“我的妈妈和我宣布我们的玉米粉蒸肉做得很成功,充满了过去的美好回忆和对将来充满希望的祝愿。”可知,第二段可以叙述他们的感受及继续这一家庭传统的决心。
2.续写线索:准备食材—思念亲人—完成分享—感受—期待未来。
One possible version:
When we laid everything out, I fell into the old routine. We were for clean-up duty ourselves as we went along. Of course Daddy wasn’t there to deal with the corn husks. They hadn’t been cleaned;they hadn’t been in the water. We lit a candle for our relatives in heaven and got to work, filling and folding the tamales. Neither of us stepped out of the busy kitchen until the steaming was complete. By the end of the day, we had many beautiful tamales to share with our neighbours and friends.
My mother and I pronounced our tamale-making a success,full of loving memories from the past and hopeful wishes for tomorrow. You can be sure we are preparing for this year’s tamales and that our kitchen will be crowded once again. My grandniece wants to learn the family tradition. Rule One: No one leaves the kitchen during the steaming! Life may change, but I believe our family is forever bound together by love,memories and our favourite dish. The most wonderful time is when all the family members get together.Period Four　 Writing

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once upon a time in my family, the Saturday after Thanksgiving was the start of our annual big tamale (玉米粉蒸肉)-making party. We made tamales to share with friends and neighbours.
Preparation began with Daddy and the cleaning of the corn husks(外壳). First he boiled them and left them in the water overnight. No husk passed inspection without being soft enough for being folded. The next day, the rest of us got to work. My brothers and uncle were on hand for clean-up duty. And there was much to clean up as we women prepared the dough (生面团) made of corn. We also prepared the meat for the filling. The dough had to be spread evenly across the husk, and each tamale had to be folded carefully so it would not split open during the steaming.
According to the long-standing tradition—at least in my family—no one was allowed to leave the kitchen during the steaming. This could ruin the process. After all, no one wanted a bad tamale!
I thought the family tamale-making party would go on forever, but to continue a family tradition, you needed to have a family. Mine had changed forever. My father, two of my brothers and my uncle died in a short span of time. Mum and I spent months in a state of sad loss. At Christmas friends asked, “Are we going to get tamales this year ” Giving tamales away to friends was one of the great joys of the season, after all. But we couldn’t face it. Eventually, as the years went by, people stopped asking.
One afternoon, just before Thanksgiving, my mother and I pushed an empty shopping cart through the supermarket. I rounded the corner into the next room and found her standing in front of a counter: packages of dough, bags of corn husks, dried spices—all the materials for a perfect tamale. “It’s time,” Mum said. I knew she was right. We set aside a Saturday to spend in the kitchen, just the two of us, alone with our thoughts.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
When we laid everything out, I fell into the old routine.

Paragraph 2:
My mother and I pronounced our tamale-making a success,full of loving memories from the past and hopeful wishes for tomorrow.

Once upon a time in my family, the Saturday after
Thanksgiving was the start of our annual big tamale (玉米粉蒸肉)-
making party. We made tamales to share with friends and
neighbours.
Preparation began with Daddy and the cleaning of the corn
husks(外壳). First he boiled them and left them in the water
overnight. No husk passed inspection without being soft enough
for being folded. The next day, the rest of us got to work. My
brothers and uncle were on hand for clean-up duty. And there was
much to clean up as we women prepared the dough (生面团) made
of corn. We also prepared the meat for the filling. The dough had
to be spread evenly across the husk, and each tamale had to be
folded carefully so it would not split open during the steaming.
According to the long-standing tradition—at least in my
family—no one was allowed to leave the kitchen during the
steaming. This could ruin the process. After all, no one wanted a
bad tamale!
I thought the family tamale-making party would go on forever,
but to continue a family tradition, you needed to have a family.
Mine had changed forever. My father, two of my brothers and my
uncle died in a short span of time. Mum and I spent months in a
state of sad loss. At Christmas friends asked, “Are we going to
get tamales this year ” Giving tamales away to friends was one of
the great joys of the season, after all. But we couldn't face it.
Eventually, as the years went by, people stopped asking.
One afternoon, just before Thanksgiving, my mother and I
pushed an empty shopping cart through the supermarket.
I rounded the corner into the next room and found her standing
in front of a counter: packages of dough, bags of corn husks,
dried spices—all the materials for a perfect tamale. “It's time,”
Mum said. I knew she was right. We set aside a Saturday to spend
in the kitchen, just the two of us, alone with our thoughts.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
When we laid everything out, I fell into the old routine.

Paragraph 2:
My mother and I pronounced our tamale-making a success,full

【思路点拨】 本文介绍了作者的家庭传统——制作玉米粉蒸肉。作者一家人
准备食材,一起在厨房制作玉米粉蒸肉,并分发给朋友。但是,随着家人的离世,只
剩下作者和妈妈,他们因悲伤而不愿继续这一传统。在这个感恩节前的一个周六,
虽然只有作者和妈妈两个人,但他们决定进行他们的家庭惯例。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当我们把一切都安排好后,我投入到了之前的惯例中。”
可知,第一段可结合前文内容描写作者和妈妈准备食材,完成玉米粉蒸肉的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“我的妈妈和我宣布我们的玉米粉蒸肉做得很成功,充满了
过去的美好回忆和对将来充满希望的祝愿。”可知,第二段可以叙述他们的感受
及继续这一家庭传统的决心。
2.续写线索:准备食材—思念亲人—完成分享—感受—期待未来。
One possible version:
When we laid everything out, I fell into the old routine. We
were for clean-up duty ourselves as we went along. Of course
Daddy wasn't there to deal with the corn husks. They hadn't been
cleaned;they hadn't been in the water. We lit a candle for our
relatives in heaven and got to work, filling and folding the tamales.
Neither of us stepped out of the busy kitchen until the steaming
was complete. By the end of the day, we had many beautiful
tamales to share with our neighbours and friends.
My mother and I pronounced our tamale-making a success,full
of loving memories from the past and hopeful wishes for
tomorrow. You can be sure we are preparing for this year's tamales
and that our kitchen will be crowded once again. My grandniece
wants to learn the family tradition. Rule One: No one leaves the
kitchen during the steaming! Life may change, but I believe our
family is forever bound together by love,memories and our
favourite dish. The most wonderful time is when all the family
members get together.
