Once upon a time there lived a stone cutter who was dissatisfied with his life. One day, on his way to work, he passed by a beautiful house. It belonged to rich merchant.

From where he stood, he saw fine possessions, honorable guests, and plenty of workers and servants all set to work. He became envious and deeply wished to have everything the wealthy and powerful merchant did.

Suddenly, the stone cutter changed into the merchant taking over his mind and body. He was aware of the merchant’s innermost feelings, thoughts and memories. He felt the joy of owning all the luxuries in the world. He knew the pleasure of holding such a respectable position in the society. Many honored him.

After a few days of enjoying the merchant’s life, he saw a king being carried in a luxurious chair accompanied by attendants, soldiers and servants. Everyone, despite of their power and wealth, was forced to bow before this figure that was worshiped as God.

After seeing this, he realized he had been mistaken about the merchant’s power and status. In a split second, he moved into the body of the king, mighty and fearless. Then he knew what it felt like to be praised and glorified by the entire kingdom, to hold the power to pardon or take a man’s life and what it was like to be respected by kings from other lands.

One day, on a hot summer noon, he was extremely uneasy. His overweight body made the heat even more intolerable. He looked up at the sun and thought about how it was absolutely unaffected by his presence. He then swiftly became the sun, shining with glory, the source of life and strength of every living creature on the planet.

【答案】Paragraph 1:

He continued to radiate until a massive storm cloud gathered below him blocking his rays. The storm cloud then burst into pouring rain. Seeing this, he became the cloud. He felt the incredible power of its existence as it could flood everything that it wished to. Not too late did he realize that the entire root of his power was yet another force—wind. The strength of the rain was not worth mentioning without the wind. And so he became it, blowing off the roofs of houses, and uprooting trees and everything else that came in its way.

Paragraph 2:

There was yet another force that faded the wind’s ego—a huge towering rock. The wind would low against it with a speed and force of the ultimate strength. The rock would stand still and unmoved. He then became it, a solid, dense, immortal and powerful substance on earth. After a while, he heard a familiar sound, which was heard when a rock was stricken by a set of tools. He then felt himself being cut, and reformed. He looked down at the artist, the figure of a stone cutter! He then became a stone cutter again.

【分析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个石匠的故事。石匠羡慕有钱有势的商人，当他变成商人，感受了商人的权势后，却发现，商人不如国王，于是，成为强大而无畏的国王，掌握生死；感受到太阳的力量之后，他就变成了太阳，闪耀着光辉；感受到云能遮挡太阳的能力之后，他就变成了云；云被风吹走时，他又成为了风；当他发现，风吹不动巨石时，自己就变成了巨石；当成为巨石的自己被切割了，被改造了，他又重新认识到了石匠的能力。最后，变回石匠自己。

【详解】

1.段落续写：

①由第一段首句内容“He continued to radiate until a massive storm cloud gathered below him blocking his rays.(他继续辐射，直到一大片雷雨云聚集在他下面，挡住了他的光线。)”可知，第一段可描写石匠发现云能够遮挡太阳，要成为云，继而发现，云是由风吹动的，再成为风，展示风的能力。

②由第二段首句内容“There was yet another force that faded the wind’s ego—a huge towering rock.(还有另一股力量削弱了风的自我——一块巨大的岩石。)”可知，第二段可描写石匠感受了巨石不可动摇的能力，变成巨石，却最后被石匠所切割改造，于是最终的结果是，石匠还是石匠。

2.续写线索：成为云——描述云的力量——成为风——描述风的力量——成为巨石——巨石的难以撼动——巨石被切割改造——石匠

【点睛】

[高分句型1]. He felt the incredible power of its existence as it could flood everything that it wished to.(他感到它存在的不可思议的力量，因为它可以淹没它想淹没的一切。)

该句中as引导原因状语从句，且“that it wished to”为“everything”的定语从句。

[高分句型2]. Not too late did he realize that the entire root of his power was yet another force—wind.(当他意识到他力量的全部根源是另一种力量——风，还为时不晚。)

该句使用了否定词置于句首，从而构成了部分倒装。

[高分句型3]. After a while, he heard a familiar sound, which was heard when a rock was stricken by a set of tools.(过了一会儿，他听到一种熟悉的声音，那是一套工具敲击岩石时发出的声音。)

该句中which引导非限制性定语从句。
