___________________________________________________________________________________參考答案考向分析考向分析故事中的高潮(climax)也通常是故事的轉折點(turningpoint)，是指故事達到最緊張或扣人心弦的那一部分。高潮有時候是劇情中的“危機”點。有時它只是達到關鍵時刻或者轉折點時，發生了一些事情，或者人物必須做出決定，從而導致一個結果或其他。營造故事發展的高潮可以通過營造沖突實現。沖突帶來緊迫感，因此營造沖突是一種有效地將故事推向情節發展的高潮的方式。考點導航考點導航一、高潮沖突思維1：.增加外部沖突增加外部沖突是一種明顯有效的可以達到故事高潮的方式。沖突帶來緊迫感,將故事推向必要的解決或崩潰。1.角色之間的沖突(人物觀點差異,競爭需要等)2.角色與環境之間的沖突3.時間依賴的發展：決策變得緊急4.增加的障礙：人物角色必須克服挑戰,以達到他們的目標二、高潮沖突思維2：放大內心沖突放大內心沖突（你的角色的內心斗爭）也有助于建立一個高度緊張和不確定的時刻。三、高潮沖突思維3：使用環境描寫增加不確定性充分利用環境描寫可以起到烘托故事高潮的作用，具體方法可以看上期讀后續寫微技能。當故事角色在碰到困難時候，我們往往要加大筆墨來描寫故事環境的黑暗，恐怖和不祥。強化環境描寫增強了高潮元素。我們感受到了緊張的倍增。【題型賞析】1.常見故事高潮Alittlegirlhasbeensearchingforherlostdog.Allofasudden,shehearsabarkcomingfromaroundthecorner,andshelooksaroundtosee...Kevinhasworkedveryhardtotryoutforthesoccerteamatschool.Thecoachhaspostedalistofthisyear'steammembersonhisofficedoor.Kevinwalksforwardtolookatthelist....Mary'sparentshavebeendiscussingwhetherornottomovetoanotherstate.TheycallMaryandhersisterdowntotalkwiththemabouttheirdecision...Loishasperformedinthestategymnasticsfinals.Shewaitsanxiouslytohearthenamesofthewinners.Theannouncersays,"Andfirstplacegoesto..."2.文學名著中的一些故事高潮ThedeathsofRomeo(whokillshimselfbecausehethinksJulietisdead)andJuliet(whokillsherselfwhensheawakesandseesRomeodead).RomeoandJuliet,Shakespeare（《羅密歐和朱麗葉》）WhenGastonandthetownspeoplecometoattackthebeast,andBelleadmitsherloveforthebeast.BeautyandtheBeast,Disney（《美女與野獸》）In"TheThreeLittlePigs,"suspensebuildsupuntiltheconfrontationbetweenthethirdpigandthewolf.Thisconfrontationistheclimax.（三只小豬）Howtocreateaclimaxofastory?3.角色之間的沖突(人物觀點差異,競爭需要等)Onthefourthorfifthnight,wehadtroublefindingahotelwithavacancy.Afterdrivinginvainforsometime,Momsuddenlygotagreatidea:Whydidn'twefindahousewithalikely-lookingbackyardandaskifwecouldsetuptentthere?DavidandIbecamenervous.開車找旅館徒勞無功母親建議搭帳篷在他人后院David和我倍感緊張，心有不悅（母子的觀點不一）4.角色與環境之間的沖突ThenMacheardquickandloudbreathingbehindhim.……hesawinstantlythatitwasn'tadogatall,butawolf:quicklycatchingupwithhim.Mac'sheartjumped.……,hefiredthesprayatthewolf.Abrightredcloudenvelopedtheanimal,andtoMac'srelief,itfellback,shakingitshead.Butaminutelater,…….Thenit……,tearingopenhistentbag.Hefiredatthewolfasecondtime,andagain,itfellback……Mac騎車獨自行，路遇餓狼，與之搏斗，險象環生。（人（角色）狼（環境）大戰）5.時間依賴的發展：決策變得緊急Thecarabruptlystoppedinfrontofhim."Getintothecar."PaulshoutedatMac.MacjumpedoffthebikeandslidintothecarwithoutdelayasthewolfwasjusttwostepsawayandwasabouttotearMacintopieces.Whatanarrowescape!騎車突停面前急喊上車Max上車避險餓狼近在咫尺（此情此景，刻不容緩）6.增加的障礙：人物角色必須克服挑戰,以達到他們的目標Butbeforewejumpedoffthehorses,wefoundthatwehadbeenoffthebeatentrackandgotlost.Wehadnoideawherewewereanditgotdark.Exhaustedandhungry,Iwonderedifwecouldfindourwayback.小兔突現馬兒受驚草原迷路（障礙1）天色漸黑（障礙2）又累又餓（障礙3）心理恐慌（障礙4）檢測訓練檢測訓練1、閱讀下面材料,根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段,使之構成一篇完整的短文。TheMeredithfamilylivedinasmallcommunity.Astheeconomywasindecline,somepeopleinthetownhadlosttheirjobs.Manyoftheirfamilieswerestrugglingtomakeendsmeet.Peopleweretryingtohelpeachothermeetthechallenges.Mrs.Meredithwasamostkindandthoughtfulwoman.Shespentagreatdealoftimevisitingthepoor.Sheknewtheyhadproblems,andtheyneededallkindsofhelp.Whenshehadtime,shewouldbringfoodandmedicinetothem.Onemorningshetoldherchildrenaboutafamilyshehadvisitedthedaybefore.Therewasamansickinbed,hiswife,whotookcareofhimandcouldnotgoouttowork,andtheirlittleboy.Thelittleboy-hisnamewasBernard-hadinterestedherverymuch.“Iwishyoucouldseehim,”shesaidtoherownchildren,John,Harry,andClara.“Heissuchahelptohismother.Hewantsverymuchtoearnsomemoney,butIdon'tseewhathecando.”Aftertheirmotherlefttheroom,thechildrensatthinkingabou
