In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova not as a musician but as her page turner. “Im not a trained musician, but Ive learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the groups official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musicians dont have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you dont turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “Hes interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: Turn, turn! “Robert is the best page turner Ive had in my entire life.” 24.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?A. Read music.B. Play the piano.C. Sing songs.D. Fix the instruments.25.Which of the following best describes Tittertons job on stage?A. Boring.B. Well-paid.C. Demanding.D. Dangerous.26.What does Titterton need to practise?A. Counting the pages.B. Recognizing the “nodding”.C. Catching falling objects.D. Performing in his own style.27.Why is Ms Raspopovas husband “the worse page turner”?A. He has very poor eyesight.B. He ignores the audience.C. He has no interest in music.D. He forgets to do his job.【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D【解析】本文为记叙文。文章讲述了Robert Titterton本职工作是一名律师，在业余时间，他在舞台上与钢琴家Maria Raspopova并肩演出不是作为音乐家，而是作为她的琴谱翻页者。24. A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Im not a trained musician, but Ive learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”可知，Titterton不是受过训练的音乐家，但他学会了识谱，这样他就可以在帮助Maria。故选A。25. C 推理判断题。第二段中最后一句“He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.”说明作者在做这份工作的时候是非常紧张的，后面一段具体阐述了其原因，并且用了多个“make sure（确保）”，可知这份工作的要求十分高。A“Boring”意为“无聊的”，B项“Well-paid”意为“高薪的”，C项“Demanding”意为“要求高的”，D项“Dangerous”意为“危险的”。由此可知，C项符合文意，故选C。26. B 细节理解题。第四段第三句“Silent onstage communicationwith their page turner.”表明每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格，Titterton需要练习的技能是识别“点头”，分析四个选项可知，B项与之意义相符。故选B。27. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hes interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: Turn, turn!”，Raspopova需要说“翻页，翻页！”可知，Raspopova的丈夫经常忘记翻页，故选D。CWhen the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North American, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息地).In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. Ding Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources. About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated. 28. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America?A. Loss of wetlands.B. Popularity of water sports.C. Pollution of rivers.D. Arrival of other wild animals.29. What does the underlined word decimate mean in the first paragraph?A. Acquire.B. Export.C. Destroy.D. Distribute.30. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?A. The stamp price has gone down.B. The migratory birds have flown away.C. The hunters have stopped hunting.D. The government has collected money.31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. The Federal Duck Stamp StoryB. The National Wildlife Refuge SystemC. The Benefits of Saving WaterfowlD. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. A【解析】本文为说明文，讲述了为解决湿地减少导致赖以生存的水禽锐减这一问题，美国政府于1934年通过候鸟狩猎印花税法案，采取坚定措施保护候鸟及湿地，并通过the Federal Duck Stamp Program（联邦鸭票计划）来帮助保护湿地。28. 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.”可知，湿地的丧失造成了水禽数量的减少，故选A。29. 词义猜测题。根据第一段第三句“Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.”及第四句“Millions of waterfowl were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen.”可知，这些探险者和定居者只花了几十年的时间就毁掉了这些资源的很大一部分，故选C。30. 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp.”及第三段第一句“About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat.”可知，政府筹集了资金，故选D。31. 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了湿地受到破坏，水禽的数量减少，于是通过the Federal Duck Stamp Program（联邦鸭票计划）来帮助保护湿地，故选A。DPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a persons makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and people skills. Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence. We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person. Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life. Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus or both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.32. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a persons mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a persons positive qualities.33. Why does the author mention doctor and cheater in paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.34. What is the authors attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public. B. Expectations for future studies. C. Its practical application. D. Scientists with new perspectives. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. B【解析】本文为说明文，主要对情商的概念进行了阐述，并介绍了对未来研究的期望等。32. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a persons makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and people skills.”可知，许多人都误解情商是一个人的性格、动机、信心、心理稳定性、乐观主义和“人际交往能力”等无法用智商测试衡量的所有好的品质，故选D。33. 写作意图题。根据第二段第一句“We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes.”可知，举这两个例子是为了阐明“情商为一套特定的技能，既可以用于好的目的，也可以用于坏的目的。”，故选B。34. 观点态度题。从第三段的“.the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful”和第四段的“Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable”可知，作者持有积极的态度，故选A。35. 概括大意题。根据文章最后一段的“we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives from which to study how people manage their lives.”可知，最后一段主要是对未来研究的期望，故选B。第二节 七选五My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 36 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.The place wasnt entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked. 37 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and its a shame I dont have much use for it.Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 38 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs. 39 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by cafs life. French cafs are always crowded. 40 When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.A.Not all the customers are tourists.B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent.C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.E.Thats not the only
