I’m going to miss you so much, Poppy,” said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions get the better of him.
His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, an d flashed a bright smile. “I guess this is it.” he said. “I’ll see you back home in a month, okay?” His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy’s mother turned to the dog, “Oka y, Poppy, time to go back home.”
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn’t seem interested in her dinner, her favorite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit, Poppy didn’t.
They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn’t her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried, “What should we do to cheer Poppy up?” asked Dad. “We’ve tried everything.”
“I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy,” smiled Mom. “Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let’s get a little dog for Poppy.”
It didn’t take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual, but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging ever so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.

Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared. It lifted and lowered its head alternately with caution, its eyes shining out of curiosity. “Say hello to your new friend, Poppy.” Dad said in an encouraging voice. Poppy gave him a seemingly knowing look, scratching the box with its front paw. The little creature slowly stood up, jumped out with pains-taking efforts and yapped around Poppy. They sniffed each other like old friends. The parents gasped in surprise even with kind of envy. They cannot imagine the two dogs enjoyed each other’s company in a blink of an eye.
A few weeks later the boy arrived home from university. He cannot wait to tell his parents about his new friends in the university. Strangely, he wasn’t greeted with Poppy’s eager barking but an unbelieva ble scene. The two dogs were tumbling about on the floor. The house was pulsating with life. Parents came up, hugging his son. “One has to grow up in his new friends’ company. We should get used to it.” Mom said half-jokingly, stroking his thin but determi ned face. It can’t be sure enough.

However, the lovely creature stared at her with such curiosity and innocent eyes, which melted the grieved and sorrowful heart of the old girl. The little dog was so sweet that Poppy couldn't help approaching him and kissing him tenderly. Then, she assisted her new friend in getting out of the box. It was not for a while that the two get familiar with each other. Watching Poppy getting rid of the gloomy state, the boy's parents smiled relievedly, putting down their hanging hearts.
A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from the university. As soon as he opened the door, out rushed excited Poppy who had already sensed the special smell of him. Hugging his beloved friend, the boy enjoyed the warmth of a long absence. Suddenly, a strange sticky feeling from hand alarmed him. Looking down, he surprisedly found a lovely dog.

Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared. Apparently taken by surprise, Poppy stared at the adorable little dog affectionally. Seeing Poppy’s eyes glittering with rapture, the worried parents sighed with relief. The little dog watched around curiously exploring every inch of the house with his sparking eyes. Poppy seemed to be over whelmed by pleasure, as she couldn’t help licking the little dog. Ever since then, the empty house had no longer been ruled by dead silence but fulfilled with laughter, the atmosphere of sheer delight enveloping the whole family.

Sensing his confusion, the parents explained what had happened to poor Poppy and how they figured out such a splendid solution. A giant smile bloomed on his face, the boy hugging his parents tightly. With their eyes blurring, the family chatted joyfully about what they had gone through during the last month. Ultimately, the boy sighed, “It’s so nice to see you bathing in love and harmony. I’ve been supported by your

2017 浙江高考英语读后续写 读后续写 (（满分25分）) On a bright, warm July afternoon, Mac Hollan, a primary school teacher, was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends. One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled（骑行）along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday. Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. “Man, that’s a big dog!” he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it was not a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up with him. Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of bear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A b right red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac’s relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac’s bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase. Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to slow down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he’d be easy caught up and the wolf’s te eth would be tearing into his flesh. At this moment, Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They did not think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now.

2021高考英语读后续写专题（三） 一：典题技法指导 At Dana's yard sale, Tim chose a baseball from the toys spread on the card table and asked about the price. Dana told him everything was a quarter except Nezumi, a cotton toy rat. It was gray with some cotton sticking out from the hole where an ear had been torn off. "Nezumi is extra special, so he's ten dollars. He needs a safe new home." Dana sighed. Tim laughed saying he didn't have ten dollars. Dana laughed, too and gave Nezumi to Tim as a free gift because he was her friend. When Tim whispered it was sort of old, Dana said old toys were the best. She then invited Tim to her birthday party the next evening, adding that her parents were giving her a real rat for her birthday. Tim was amazed and asked if it was a live rat. "Of course," Dana said. At home, Tim's mother showed him the gift she had bought for Dana. It was a knitting spool (编织线轴) shaped like a mushroom. Mom said Dana could knit a scarf for her doll. Tim sighed that Dana wasn't a knitting kind of person but a rat kind of person. Mom laughed after knowing what had happened. Together they drove to the pet store, where Tim searched and searched and selected a clear plastic ball, one in which the rat could run around on the floor safe from cats and dogs. Tim thought of Nezumi's ear and decided Dana's new rat would need this ball. The next day, Dana brought cupcakes to class. When she handed a cupcake to Tim, she asked if Tim brought Nezumi to school as Nezumi liked to ride in backpacks. Tim was at a loss because Nezumi was at home on his bed. Then Dana asked what gift he was giving her. Tim replied it was a surprise. In silence they sat for a while before he heard Dana say her parents were giving her a new bike for her birthday instead of a live rat because they thought rats would bite things. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 应使5个以上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: At home that afternoon, Tim stared at the plastic rat ball.
