在2018年11月刚刚结束的大连市期中考试中，2018年秋季入学的新高一采用了与浙江新高考相同的全新的作文形式，英语写作分值增加到40分（总分150分）。
2018年浙江省高考中，英语写作部分占40分，为两篇作文。第一篇是应用文写作。 写作部分第二篇是读后续写或概要写作。这对全国中学师生来说，该题是前所未有的新题型。《考试说明》上明确表示：“两种形式在不同考次不定期交替使用”。
解析：
[选材特点]
1．所需阅读的短文词数在350 以内；
2．多以记叙文故事类文章或者夹叙夹议类文章为主，故事情节有曲折、有起伏，但是，故事线索的逻辑性比较强。
[评分参考]
阅卷时主要考虑以下内容：
1．与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度；
2．内容的丰富性和对所给关键词语的覆盖情况；
3．应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性
4．上下文的连贯性。
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2．应使用 5 个以上(即至少 6 个)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(单下划直线即可)标出你所使用的关键词语。
[写作步骤]
1．精读文章，确定文章线索，如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等，这有利于“顺藤摸瓜”。
2．仔细审题，明确续写要求，如字数限制、使用几处下划线关键词语、续写段落的首句提示等，做到“心中有数”。
3．回扣原文，想象续写内容。快速回读短文，揣摩文章的思路，结合段首的提示语和划线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
4．拟写草稿，修改错词病句。结合提示语和文中划线的关键词拟写出草稿，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，上下文的衔接。
5．标出所使用的原材料中标有下划线的关键词语，最后誊写文字时，务必做到“字迹工整、清晰”。
[方法技巧]
1．在读懂原文的基础上，紧扣原文中心，以原文的结局为起点，写出故事情节的发展和变化。
2．对原文故事没有写出的情节展开合理的推想，打开思路。多角度地想象出几种情况或结局，并从中加以最优选择。
3．要注意前后照应，符合逻辑，防止自相矛盾。必须与上文紧密联系，使上下文融为一体。
4．原文的主要角色，续文中都要安排“戏”，但不要引进影响事件结局的新角色。
注意确保四个一致：
1．要与原文的主题或作者的本来意图保持一致。
2．要与原文的体裁、结构、写作手法保持一致。
3．要与原文的语言特点和叙事风格保持一致。
4．主要人物的思想行为、性格特点要与原文保持一致。
下面是浙江省2018年高考大作文原题：
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was summer, and my dadwanted totreat meto a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the WildWest.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big cityin the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. UnclePaul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to hisfarm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the rivernearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. "The day starts at dawn on my farm," he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feedthe chickens. while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheepout to graze(吃草). I was impressedto see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a hose ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. "Don’t be latefor supper," Uncle Paul cried, "and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!" "OK! " my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his fam house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees,and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like abeautiful woven(编织的）blanketspreadout upon the ground just for us.
Paragraph 1: Suddenly a little rabbitjumped out in front of my horse.
