Jon Fosse began writing stories as a child. His breakthrough novel,Boathouse, was published in 1989. Having established himself as a novelist, poet and children's author, he then turned his attention to writing plays.
His sparse, Pinteresque style brought him to international attention, though commercial success has eluded him in the UK. Jon Fosse was nominated for the Booker Prize, won the Ibsen Prize, and was awarded the French Order of Merit in 2007. He said he's overwhelmed and somewhat frightened at becoming a Nobel laureate.
His latest book, Septology, a semi-autobiographical magnum opus, is in seven parts spread across three volumes. It runs to 1,250 pages without a single full stop.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My dad, George, only had an eighth grade education. A quiet man, he didn't understand my world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didn't really understand his world either: He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass (超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone (长号).
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the

tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb's-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn't sure how much it would amount to.
At home, my dad said, “A job is a big step to growing up. I'm glad you will be contributing to the household.” My dad's words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn't interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.

[读后续写四步曲]
第一步 通读全文,理清脉络

2.读人物,理清人物关系
I, my dad and the farmer

第6段:觉得上交自己挣的钱不公平。
5.读语言,把握语言特色
原文中的语言特色:
(1)心理描写
... I thought that I would surpass (超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
... I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn't sure how much it would amount to.
My dad's words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
(2)情感描写
My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn't interested.
第二步 依据首句,构思框架
1.读懂两段首句
第一段首句译文:工资终于拿到了。
第二段首句译文:我立刻明白了父母在担心什么。

第三步 增加细节,展开续写
基于第一段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
终于拿到工资(非常高兴)——计划如何支配自己的劳动所得——父亲问及自己挣多少钱(不情愿说出)——看到父亲辛勤劳作想起了父亲说的那句话。
基于第二段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
明白了父母所担心的事情——奉献的意义——拿出自己劳动挣的钱,自豪地交给父亲。
第四步 检查优化,整洁誊写
The pay arrived at last. Although the job was very tiring, I was very happy in my heart for I got something from my work. The toil of labor was forgotten for the time being. I thought I should have my own money and planned how to spend it. “How much money have you earned?” Dad asked. I was surprised, reluctant to say my income. The next morning, my dad's livestock truck started running. I saw my father's hard-working figure and thought of his words “A job is a big step to growing up”.
I understood immediately what my parents were worried about. They were worried that I was too selfish to give. I realized that my labor was very hard, but my growth and our whole family had been depending on the hard work of my parents! Dad never complained about unfairness! He even seemed to think that was fair. I thought, “I've only worked for two weeks, but how many years my father has worked!” In the evening, Dad came back. I proudly took out my own money and handed it to Dad.
In China's history, a troop won an important battle by breaking the cooking pots and sinking the boats.Toward the end of the third century BC, General Zhang Han of the Qin Dynasty led his army to attack the State of Zhao.The King of Zhao withdrew(撤退)to the city of Julu, and Zhang Han surrounded the city.
在中国历史上,有一支军队通过打碎炊具和击沉船只赢得了一场重要的战役。公元前三世纪末,秦朝将领章邯率军攻打赵国。赵王撤到巨鹿城,章邯包围了巨鹿城。
On learning that the King of Zhao was in danger, the King of Chu in the south sent his two generals Song Yi and Xiang Yu to rescue the King of Zhao.When they had gone halfway, General Song Yi refused to advance before a river.So Xiang Yu made a decision.He killed Song Yi and reported it to the King, who appointed Xiang Yu as the top general.
楚王得知赵王危在旦夕,就派宋义和项羽去救赵王。当他们走到一半的时候,宋义将军拒绝在河边前进。于是项羽做了一个决定。他杀了宋义,并报告给楚王,楚王任命项羽为大将。
At this time, Xiang decided to lead all his soldiers across the river to win the battle.He sank the boats after crossing the river,destroyed his army's cooking pots and set fire to their tents.He ordered his soldiers to take only three days' food which was so little that they had to advance and win the battle because they couldn't withdraw.Sure enough, the soldiers fought bravely and defeated Zhang Han's troops and rescued the King of Zhao in the end.
这时,项羽决定率领全体将士渡江,夺取这场战役的胜利。渡河后,他击沉了船只,毁坏了军队的炊具,并点燃了他们的帐篷。他命令士兵们只带三天的食物,这些食物太少了,他们必须前进并赢得战斗,因为他们无法撤退。果不其然,士兵们英勇作战,打败了章邯的军队,最终救出了赵王。

(2024·福建省龙岩市高二上期中)
Over the years, when a book has spoken to me with particular power, I have put pen to paper and sent word off to the author, communicating what their work meant to me.
It all started in my 18th year, when I was entertaining my own imaginations of success as a writer. I was full of high expectations, believing that becoming an author was simply a matter of putting my thoughts onto paper, sending the works to a publisher, and waiting for fame to come. Then came the great disappointment. I wrote to famous children's author Lloyd Alexander, describing my fruitless year-long effort at publication and asking him for direction. To my joy, he answered:
“Advice is always very easy to give but very hard to make it specific and meaningful, since we all have to work in our own ways. When you mention that you've been writing for a year without being published, I hasten to tell you that I wrote seven times that long without being published! So, perhaps one piece of advice is: patience.”
I was encouraged by the idea that a well-regarded writer would take the time to offer a bit of advice to an overconfident teen. But Mr. Alexander was not a singular case. I continued to reach out to writers and, truth to tell, I didn't always receive a reply. But when I did get one, the content was often filled with consideration and even, at times, affection (喜爱).
I think of the American poet William Stafford, who replied to me from Lake Oswego, Oregon. We actually had an ongoing correspondence (通信) for a while. I wrote to him asking if he would be so kind as to autograph (签名) one of his books for me. His reply brought an immediate smile to my face: “I am eagerly ready to autograph and return a book — it makes me feel like an author.”

(2024·湖北省荆州中学高二月考)
Whether we are young or old, we all have a dream we would love to come true. The issue is that most of us have no idea where to begin to turn a great idea into fact, or that we choose to abandon our dreams when the going gets tough. If this is you, then self-help guide Dream and Achieve: Discover and Express Your Passion in Your Lifetime by Kola Olutimehin should be at the top of your reading list.
Kola, who fittingly describes himself as a “Dream Driver”, has helped thousands of people achieve through his coaching and public speaking, and he has distilled (浓缩) all his wisdom and tried-and-tested methods into this book.
At the beginning of the book, Kola defines what we mean by a “dream”, stating that a dream is a long-cherished vision of what you want to make your inheritance and your contribution to the world. That doesn't mean that this dream, whatever it may be, is already fully formed in your mind. It may be fuzzy (模糊的); it may just be a feeling that you were born to attain something you don't currently possess.
What I love in this section of the book is how Kola, who has built his own business empire with blood, sweat and tears, debunks (驳斥) the common myths people associate with becoming a success, such as the need to make decisions with fully detailed plans.
He therefore urges readers, when faced with a decision, to consider the four “Ds”. These are Desire—questioning what you truly want and why you want it; acting on your Decision, which is an active step; Determination, chiefly having the staying power not to backtrack; and Discipline, which means you must continue to act upon your decision to help make your dreams a reality.
In conclusion, author Kola Olutimehin has captured the essence of success and set it down in print, and Dream and Achieve is the one book you need to find your life's purpose, and achieve it.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章是关于《梦想与成就:发现并表达你一生的激情》的书评,主要介绍了这本书在实现梦想方面对人们的帮助。

(2024·湖北省高二上联考)
Small sensors powered only by sunlight could float (漂浮) in the sky forever and make weather-related measurements.
Flat objects with two sides can be kept up in the air by what is called photophoresis (光泳现象).This occurs when one of the sides absorbs lots of light and the other very little, creating a difference in temperature. Just like how temperature differences in the atmosphere cause winds, this difference makes molecules (分子) move in such a way as to create a lifting force on the object.
Benjamin Schafer at Harvard University and his coworkers designed a device that could use photophoresis to lift small weather sensors into the air and wouldn't need motors or batteries to keep up the height.
Their device consists of two discs. Each disc is only 100 nanometers thick-one-thousandth the thickness of a sheet of paper-and very small holes cover nearly half of the surface, making it very lightweight and easy for heat to flow through it. To maximize the lifting forces on the device, the team decided to cover the top disc with a coating that lets visible but not infrared light (红外线) pass through it, while a coating on the bottom disc did the opposite. This would produce enough lift to keep the device in the stratosphere (平流层) and it would never fall to Earth. The researchers calculated that the device could carry a 300-milligram load of equipment, such as temperature and pressure sensors.
Schafer and his coworkers suggest a weather balloon could deliver hundreds of these devices to the stratosphere where they could measure stratospheric winds, which are useful for predicting weather. Because they are small and light, they could also be viable to transport to Mars, where they could collect data about the Martian atmosphere.
Karen Aplin at the University of Bristol, UK, says that the device might be helpful for solar geoengineering. “However, the device's 300-milligram mass allowance (限额) may challenge its practicality. Many instruments would have to be powered by solar cells and adding those, together with other elements, could limit how many more instruments can be added,” she says.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了仅凭太阳光就可以使传感器漂浮在空中,它能进行与天气相关的测量。
32.What makes photophoresis happen?
A.Wind force.
B.Molecule difference.
C.Object shapes.
D.Temperature difference.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“This occurs when one of the sides...way as to create a lifting force on the object.”可知,温度的差异促使光泳现象的发生。故选D项。
33.How did the designers give the device the strongest lifting force?
A.By making holes all over it.
B.By coating its discs in the opposite way.
C.By increasing its surface area.
D.By sending it to the stratosphere.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To maximize the lifting forces...disc did the opposite.”可知,研究小组通过在顶部和底部圆盘上覆盖作用相反的涂层,以此来最大限度地提高设备的上升力。故选B项。
34.What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Practical. B.Distant.
C.Legal. D.Accurate.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句“Because they are small and light...where they could collect data about the Martian atmosphere.”可知,此处为因为它们又小又轻,所以它们也可以被运送到火星,在那里它们可以收集火星大气的数据。故可猜测画线单词viable为“可行的”意思,与A项Practical“实用的,可行的”意思一致。故选A项。
35.What does Karen Aplin imply about the device?
A.Its high costs challenge its practicality.
B.It is better than battery-powered sensors.
C.It can hardly resist extreme temperatures.
D.Its mass allowance may limit its application.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, the device's 300-milligram mass...more instruments can be added”可知,关于这个设备,凯伦·阿普林认为该设备 300 毫克质量的负载能力可能会使其应用受限。故选D项。

There were times when I thought success was about creating great work; times when I believed success was about making more money; and times when I thought success was about living in the present.__36__, but almost every single one of them is incomplete. Now, I usually describe success as combination of achievements and happiness. For me, success is about having fun and joy along the journey of creating the results you desire. Many habits help one achieve success.__37__.
Practicing self-awareness
Practicing self-awareness uses your ability to make the right choices for yourself. The best way to learn about yourself is to keep asking yourself difficult questions and answering them.__38__. Do this every day, write them down, and think carefully about them regularly.
Choosing the child-like attitude
__39__, and that's very true. First, kids don't over-think and always see the world as it is. We can act faster and live happier if we stop over-thinking. Second, kids don't stop playing. What do kids do when they fall down? They get back up quickly and start playing again. And that's exactly what many of us need to achieve in order to get what we want in life.
Finding joy in hard work,challenges and setbacks
Life never goes as smoothly as we want it to.__40__.If you're a businessman, don't wait for customers to come knocking at your door. Go out, share your product, and get customers for your business.
Accept that success is not easy. Then, be the other group-the group who finds joy in challenges and setbacks(挫折),the group who loves the things they do,and the group who puts in the hard work and gets devoted to the process.
A.The questions require you to think deeply
B.None of the above sayings of success are wrong
C.Don't wish for more challenges, wish for more joy
D.These are what help us hold on and bring us pure joy
E.Hoping life gets easier, you will find it easy to be successful
F.Instead of hoping that life gets easier, hope that you will get better

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2024·安徽省合肥市高二上期中)
My friend invited me to a trapeze (高空秋千) class. I was doubtful because of a lack of courage and a short of self-confidence, but her enthusiasm and assurances of strict safety rules won me over.
I had been fearful of heights since elementary school and avoiding my fear of heights became second nature. But here I was, at age twenty-six, facing my fear of heights in a rather extreme way. I had come around to the idea of trying trapeze. I figured it wasn't much different from swinging (舞动) on the monkey bars as a kid. One difficulty I didn't expect was the ladder (梯子). In order to reach the trapeze, I had to climb up a twenty-two-foot ladder.
I could hear one of my classmates expressing her impatience with my slow climb up the ladder. “If she's afraid of heights, why did she sign up for a trapeze class?” However, my friend was at the top of the ladder, trying to encourage me. Besides, his distraction techniques helped to take my mind off my dangerous task. I found a rhythm(节奏) and kept going. With a slow and steady pace, I made it to the top. The cheers from my classmates rang out below.
An instructor told me to step to the edge of the platform. He reminded me of the safety rules, including the net below that would catch me at the bottom. He also asked me to listen to the directions while in the air, so I could perform a trick.
As the instructor counted down, I took a deep breath and pushed off the platform, swinging back and forth. At that moment, I lost awareness of time and space. Fortunately, the instructor's voice came over the loudspeaker, giving me step-by-step instructions for performing a trick. Instead of doubting my inability to perform the trick, I took his directions one step at a time.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
During my flight on the trapeze, my fear didn't completely leave me. _______________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
This experience opened up a new way of seeing myself and approaching other challenges. ___
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
[参考范文]
During my flight on the trapeze, my fear didn't completely leave me. My palms were clammy, my heart was racing, and my mouth was dry. But I turned down the dial of my fear so I could be present in the experience. I focused my thoughts on the instructor's voice instead of my internal dialogue about what could go wrong. In the end, I successfully completed the task. I couldn't believe I had actually done it!
This experience opened up a new way of seeing myself and approaching other challenges. I became more capable of overcoming my fear and learned to believe in myself. I became more open to try new things. After my trapeze flight, I took an archery class, went on my first kayaking trip, and hiked along a 200-foot cliff in Nova Scotia. While these experiences made my heart pound, I completed them, one step at a time. Whether my steps were small or big on the ground or in midair, I wanted to keep stepping out of my comfort zone.
