Rescue in a Bottle

Curtis Whitson had rafted down the Arroyo Seco, a river in central California, several times before.

This year, Curtis Whitson knew the water-fall was coming. He figured he would get out of his raft into the shallow water, get down the rocks along ropes on either side of the falls, and continue on his way, as he had on a previous trip.

But this year was different. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually manageable falls into something fierce. And this year, instead of his friends, Whitson’s companions were his girlfriend, Krystal Ramirez and his 13-year-old son, Hunter. As the three of them approached the falls late in, the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Whitson could tell from the increasing roar of water in the narrowing canyon (峡谷) that they were in serious trouble. There was no way they’d be able to get down the rocks as planned.

“The water was just roaring through there with tremendous force,” recalls Whitson, 45.

They had no smart phone service, and they hadn’t seen a single person in the past three days. And Whitson knew that they’d be sharing the ground there with rattlesnakes and mountain lions.

As he was thinking what to do, Whitson hit on a bit of luck — he heard voices coming from the other side of the falls. He yelled, but the sound of the rushing water drowned him out.

“We have to get these people a message,” Whitson thought.

He grabbed a stick and pulled out his pocketknife to carve “Help” in it. Then he tied a rope to it so the people would know it wasn’t just any stick. He tried throwing it over the falls, but it floated away in the wrong direction.

“We’ve got to do something!” Whitson yelled to his son. “Have we got anything else?”

Then he spotted his water bottle. Whitson grabbed it and carved “Help!” on it. Ramirez also reminded him that he had a pen and paper in his backpack.

Whitson knew it was a slim hope. But he wrote “6-15 19:00 We are stuck here@ the waterfall. Get help please” and pushed the note into the bottle. This time, his throw over the waterfall was perfect.

“All right, that’s all we can do,” Whitson told Hunter.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1:

It took 30 minutes to get back upstream to the beach where they’d had lunch. They made a fire to keep the rattlesnakes and mountain lions away. Just after midnight, they heard a helicopter hovering above them.Whitson ran over to the headlamp, yelled and started flashing it at the helicopter. Then the helicopter found them.The helicopter circled as the pilot looked for a good place to land. Finding none, the crew announced to the campers over the PA system that they would not be rescued until morning and told them to conserve their firewood.

Paragraph 2:

The next morning, the helicopter returned. The family were rescued and learned more about the details: Two men had seen the water bottle in the water, found the message in it, and turned the bottle in, and took off without leaving their names. A few days later, Whitson learned the rest of the story. There were actually two little girls hiking with the men that day. It was the girls who first spotted the bottle and swam to get it. Whitson is planning on having a big barbecue to meet the hikers — and thank them.

【解析】

本篇书面表达属于读后续写。

通过阅读所给文章可知：柯蒂斯·惠特森和他的女朋友克里斯托·拉米雷斯和他13岁的儿子亨特乘木筏沿加州中部的阿罗约塞科河漂流。大雪和春雨使得原本可以控制的瀑布变得异常猛烈。他们被困住了，因为没有带智能手机，最后他们将求救信息写在纸上，然后塞进了一个瓶子中，扔到了水里，希望有人能发现它、给予他们援救。

续写部分分为两段，根据第一段开头It took 30 minutes to get back upstream to the beach where they’d had lunch.及第二段开头The next morning, the helicopter returned.可知，他们扔完漂流瓶后回到了高处，等待救援的过程中，有直升飞机来过，但是并没有立即把他们救走。因此，第一段可以描述他们等待救援过程中做了什么，飞机为什么没有把他们立即救走；第二段可以描述一下第二天他们如何获救的，救援队如何得知他们被困信息的。

续写的语言要尽可能与原文的语言保持风格上的一致。文章时态以一般过去时为主。应使用自己熟悉的句型和短语进行写作，考生要注意尽可能使句子的表达形式多样化，适当的使用一些高级句式和高级词汇，以提高书面表达的档次和可读性。作文要层次清晰，要点全面，表达流畅，切合题干要求，句子结构准确，适当补充信息，使篇章结构连贯。续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
