【书面表达--概要写作--自然灾害】
■技法指导
自然灾害故事类概要写作,简言之就是对所读过的自然灾害故事简要概括,写出故事梗概,也可称之为摘要。
写概要时,读者要把故事的具体信息 (如灾害发生的时间、地点、人物、事件、起因以及灾害的后果等)用一些具有概括功能的词和句表述出来,主要考查学生用简洁的语言概括一次自然灾 害的发生发展的过程,以及对所读故事整体结构的把握能力。
因此,自然灾害故事类概要写作是基于阅读理解和书面表达的有机结合体。
写作步骤:
1.细读原文。首先要仔细阅读故事,掌握故事大意和脉络,明确各段之间的时间顺序和逻辑关系。
2.弄清要求。概要写作是写全文概要,不是写某一部分的概要,或者就某些问题写出要点。因此,概括要全面,而又不要面面俱到。
3.列出要点。在分析原文的内容和结构的基础上,选出与文章主题密切相关的部分并将内容按照结构顺序扼要表述出来。

■典例演练
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts (蝗虫)that are travelling across the continent eating everything in their path.
And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. They think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts.
This is West Africa's biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁)Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia.
The harmful effect on crops in areas is already suffering from food shortage and the war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well prepared to fight the locusts.
Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. People are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷)per day with pesticide (杀虫剂), but actually, they need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster.
Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, and now rescue teams together with supplies of goods are coming from China and other countries.
