第十二節(jié)動物

單純就動物而言，動物的描寫包括動物的外貌描寫、動物的生活習(xí)性描寫和動物

的趣事描寫等。在高考英語讀后續(xù)寫中動物的外貌和習(xí)性一般在原材料中已經(jīng)交代，

不屬于我們要續(xù)寫的內(nèi)容。而且在讀后續(xù)寫中幾平?jīng)]有單獨(dú)指寫動物的要求，絕大多

數(shù)的動物描寫都與人有關(guān)。動物描寫屬于人與自然的范疇。

給人警示使人及時脫險、動物為人求得援助、動物為了保護(hù)主人甚至與比自己強(qiáng)大的

物，或出于人的憐憫給動物以幫助。在讀后續(xù)寫中我們就要寫主人翁給動物處理創(chuàng)傷、

送動物去安全的地方等，同時還需描寫脫險的動物因其靈性有對人感激的表現(xiàn)。
