By day, Robert Titterman is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."
Mr Titterman is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's 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 musician doesn't 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 don't 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 Titterman 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 Titterman 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. "He's absorbed in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."
4.What should Titterman be able to do to be a page turner
A.Read music. B.Play the piano. C.Sing songs. D.Fix the instruments.
5.Which of the following best describes Titterman's job on stage
A.Boring. B.Well-paid. C.Demanding. D.Dangerous.
6.What does Titterman need to practise
A.Counting the pages. B.Recognizing the "nodding".
C.Catching falling objects. D.Performing in his own style.
7.Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worst 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.
C
For the brave in the army, being sent away from home is just part of the duty. However, it's never easy especially for those with children. So, when I found out I was going to stay in South Korea for a year, I was nervous about how my five children, particularly my eldest daughter Abigail, would take the news since it meant I wouldn't be home to see her graduate from high school.
To my surprise, Abigail told me not to worry and even suggested we make the news known among family members. "We've been lucky you haven't had to be sent abroad yet. Anyway, we can get connected through the Internet. See me on your phone," Abigail said. She stepped into many of my roles when I was gone. I wanted to find a way to thank her and show her how proud I was of her. I started planning the special surprise when my request to return home a few weeks earlier to attend Abigail's graduation ceremony was approved.
When my time in South Korea finally came to an end, I flew home, and stayed in a hotel. On Abigail's graduation day, I hid in an office behind the stage waiting until I heard her name called. I just kept thinking "Don't cry. Don't trip in your heels. Don't fall over." At last, Abigail was up on stage. I slipped up behind her, whispered in her ear, and around she turned! "I was just thinking, like, 'You aren't supposed to be here. What What How ' It was the biggest shock... I'm pretty sure my dad made people think he didn't even know cries. Actually cries are emotional for everyone," Abigail cried.
You know what followed: embraces, kisses, tears, laughs, flowers, wishes...; aren't they what a family have in store
8.What worried the author most
A.His duty in South Korea. B.His five children's safety.

A.She was the smartest kid in her family.
B.She got angry because her father had to leave home.
C.She took good care of the other four kids when her father was away.
D.She gave a speech to express her thanks to her father on graduation day.

With the belief that “Schools should not frighten children”, David Schenck founded the Schenck School for some special children in Atlanta, Georgia, to help children overcome their trouble and recover their lost self-esteem.
Growing up in Chappaqua, New York, David started out in public school, and had trouble right from the very beginning. He didn’t feel like he was part of the class and didn’t feel like he could do any of the things they did. An uncle paid the tuition for him to go to The Salisbury School in Connecticut. “They had never seen someone so poorly prepared for their school,” he says. “I had to go back a couple of years because I didn’t know anything about reading and writing. I was trying to go to the 7th grade, but having lots of trouble there. I graduated when I was 20, directly to the Army, and from the Army I took advantage of the G.I. Bill (军人安置法案) and got a degree from University of Michigan.”
When David left for a teaching position in New England, he did not know that this move would change his life and the lives of thousands of young people with dyslexia—nor did he know, at that time, that he had such trouble. He worked with The Rectory School in Connecticut, which wanted him to work during the regular school year and at a camp during the summer. The camp was for dyslexics and it was there that David received his formal introduction to dyslexia and training in the Orton-Gillingham approach.
After a few years at the camp, David returned to Atlanta. He earned his master’s degree in education at Emory University and landed a teaching job at Georgia Military Academy. He was charged with teaching students how to read and write. From that environment, the idea for The Schenck School was born. With his help, these children got the appropriate intervention they desperately needed.
12.How about David Schenck when he was a child
A.He couldn’t get along well with his classmates.
B.He failed to perform as well as other students.
C.He found it hard to adapt to a new environment.
D.He disliked being part of the class he attended.
13.What happened when David was in Salisbury School
A.It is a pity that he didn’t get his diploma in hand.
B.He decided to drop out of school and join the army.
C.It was a challenge for him to complete his studies.
D.He entered University of Michigan from there.
14.What does the underlined word “dyslexia” mean in the passage
A.Difficulty in reading and spelling.
B.Trouble in dealing with others.
C.Interest in choosing a position.
D.Ability in teaching students.
15.What does the author want to tell in the passage
A.Schools should not frighten children.
B.David managed to become successful.
C.David is considered the greatest educator.
D.The Schenck School and its founder.

A little girl had been shopping with her mom in WalMart. She must have been 6 years old with brown hair and an innocent face. It was pouring with rain outside. We all stood just inside the door of the supermarket, carrying our shopping bags.
We waited. Some were patient, while others were irritated because it ruined their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the rain washing away the dirt and dust of the world.
The little girl's voice was so sweet as it broke the trance (昏睡状态) we were caught in. "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said. "What " Mom asked. "Let's run through the rain!" she repeated.
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated, "Mom, let's run through the rain."
"We'll get wet if we do," Mom said.
"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she pulled her mom's arm.
"This morning When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet "
"Don't you remember When you talked about Daddy's cancer, you said, 'If we all believe that we can get through this, then we can get through anything!'"
The entire crowd fell silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If we get wet, then maybe we just need washing," Mom said.
Paragraph 1:
Then off they ran. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The little girl was right.

5.考查推断的能力。根据第三段中的"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't 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"和第四段中的"Being a page turner requires plenty of practice",可以推断,Titterman在舞台上的工作要求颇高,故C项正确。
6.考查理解具体信息的能力。根据第四段中的"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"可知Titterman需要在领会钢琴师的"点头示意"上多加练习,故B项正确。

11.考查主旨大意。本文是一篇记叙文,军人父亲出国执行任务时女儿Abigail承担起很多本属于他的责任,帮助照顾家人。在Abigail高中毕业典礼上父亲突然出现,这让女儿非常高兴。这个故事主要想告诉我们家人之间的亲情是可贵的,即家庭关系的意义。故C项正确。

解析：本文主要介绍了在工作交流中运用表情符号的好处。
16空前一句提到"In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly",D项"The popularity of these platforms is spreading globally"内容上承接上文,且进一步说明了信息收发平台在全球范围内日益风行,D项符合语境,故选D。
17上文讲"Written communications can often read as cold and dull. Using emojis can add humor and feeling, keeping intention clear"谈到了在书面交流中使用表情符号的好处,故结合选项可知,A项符合语境。
18根据空前的"employees can range from age 22 to 70 and beyond, and finding common ground in communication style can be a challenge"可知,在不同年龄的办公人员之间找到沟通方式上的共同点可能是个挑战,G项则是针对该挑战的解决办法。G项中的"bring all work generations together"即挑战,呼应上文。故选G项。
19本段叙述了使用表情符号在缓和语气上的作用,根据空前的"Who hasn't received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day "可知,此处涉及邮件交流中的语气,故选B。
20根据空后的"and emoji can contribute directly to that positive outcome"可知,空处应该体现"that positive outcome",也就是F选项中的"a happier workplace", F选项符合语境,故选F。
第二部分 语言知识运用
第一节
答案：21-25.BADCD; 26-30.DBDDA; 31-35.BCBAD
解析：21.在阳光明媚的一天,作者早早地来到学校,但却感觉情况有些不对。根据上文的early和sunny及后面的wrong可知,这里应用but表示转折。
22.根据上文中的"I felt that there was something wrong"和下文提到的Tom患了严重的疾病可以推知,此处指班里的同学表现异常。故选A。
23.联系上下文可知,作者后来得知Tom患了严重的疾病,所以found out符合语境。

28.联系语境可知,此处表示癌已扩散到Tom的大脑,故spread符合语境。
29.作者听到这个消息后,想大哭一场。这里的information指上文中医生发现癌已扩散到Tom的大脑这一消息。
30.根据Tom的不幸遭遇以及空前的"Why does this happen to him"可知,作者在感叹这不公平。
31.作者的许多朋友失去了信心和希望,他们甚至认为Tom没有机会存活下去,但是他依然很坚强。文章的最后一句中的"give up or lose heart"也是信息提示。
32.参见上题解析。故选C。
33.根据下文的"I will fight"可推断出Tom不会放弃,文章最后一句话也重现了这一信息,所以选give up。
34.根据下文的"now he feels great and everything is fine"可知,手术进展顺利。go有"(事情)进展,进行"之意,故选A。
35.从Tom的经历中,作者明白了不管生活中发生什么事情,我们都不能放弃和失去信心。故D项符合文意。
第二节：
答案：educated; development; its; until; the; of; visiting; financial; Activities; to have
解析：本文主要介绍了生态旅游的概念、起源及其标准等。
36考查形容词。在系动词become后应用形容词作表语,educated"受过教育的,有教养的"。
37考查名词。空格在冠词the之后,应填名词development"发展"。
38考查代词。空格在名词之前,因此填形容词性物主代词its,表示"它的"起源。
39考查特殊句式。句意:直到20世纪80年代末,它才作为一个旅游概念被人们广泛接受。根据句意和句中的not可知,本空填until。not...until..."直到……到……"。
40考查冠词。名词popularity后有定语,故其前应用定冠词the表特指,the growing popularity of... "……的日益流行"。
41考查固定用法。type后常跟of sth.,various types of trips"不同类型的旅行",因此填of。
42考查非谓语动词。在介词of后应接动名词(doing)作宾语,故填visiting。
43考查形容词。空格在名词aid之前,应填形容词作定语,financial"财政的"。
44考查名词的数。本空作主语,且本句的谓语动词是 range,故主话应是名词复数 activities,空格位于句首,首字母应大写。
45考查非谓语动词。 aim to do sth."力求做某事"为固定搭配。故本空用不定式 to have。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案：
A Cross-Country Running Race
In order to enrich our campus life, our school organized a 5km cross-country running race last Sunday. Ninety students from twenty classes participated in the race, among whom thirty were girls. Participants set out at 9 am from the gate of the school, through the Renmin Park, and finally arrived at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. After the race, we felt that not only did the event improve our physical and psychological quality, but it also helped us build a positive attitude towards life. We do hope that the school will carry out more similar activities in the future.
第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
Then off they ran. We all stood, watching and smiling as they rushed past the cars. They held their shopping bags over their heads in case they would get wet. There's no doubt that they got wet. But they did not mind it at all. Soon they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children on the way to their cars. And yes, I did, too. I ran in the rain for I needed washing not only my body but also my mind.
Paragraph 2:
The little girl was right. As she and her mom said, if we brave the elements, we can overcome any problems. We should never be frightened by the temporary problems we are faced with. They have taught me a lesson that with faith and courage, we can get through anything in our lives!

By day, Robert Titterman is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."
Mr Titterman is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's 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 musician doesn't 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 don't 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 Titterman 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 Titterman 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. "He's absorbed in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."
4.What should Titterman be able to do to be a page turner
A.Read music. B.Play the piano. C.Sing songs. D.Fix the instruments.
5.Which of the following best describes Titterman's job on stage
A.Boring. B.Well-paid. C.Demanding. D.Dangerous.
6.What does Titterman need to practise
A.Counting the pages. B.Recognizing the "nodding".
C.Catching falling objects. D.Performing in his own style.
7.Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worst 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.

For the brave in the army, being sent away from home is just part of the duty. However, it's never easy especially for those with children. So, when I found out I was going to stay in South Korea for a year, I was nervous about how my five children, particularly my eldest daughter Abigail, would take the news since it meant I wouldn't be home to see her graduate from high school.
To my surprise, Abigail told me not to worry and even suggested we make the news known among family members. "We've been lucky you haven't had to be sent abroad yet. Anyway, we can get connected through the Internet. See me on your phone," Abigail said. She stepped into many of my roles when I was gone. I wanted to find a way to thank her and show her how proud I was of her. I started planning the special surprise when my request to return home a few weeks earlier to attend Abigail's graduation ceremony was approved.
When my time in South Korea finally came to an end, I flew home, and stayed in a hotel. On Abigail's graduation day, I hid in an office behind the stage waiting until I heard her name called. I just kept thinking "Don't cry. Don't trip in your heels. Don't fall over." At last, Abigail was up on stage. I slipped up behind her, whispered in her ear, and around she turned! "I was just thinking, like, 'You aren't supposed to be here. What What How ' It was the biggest shock... I'm pretty sure my dad made people think he didn't even know cries. Actually cries are emotional for everyone," Abigail cried.
You know what followed: embraces, kisses, tears, laughs, flowers, wishes...; aren't they what a family have in store

With the belief that “Schools should not frighten children”, David Schenck founded the Schenck School for some special children in Atlanta, Georgia, to help children overcome their trouble and recover their lost self-esteem.
Growing up in Chappaqua, New York, David started out in public school, and had trouble right from the very beginning. He didn’t feel like he was part of the class and didn’t feel like he could do any of the things they did. An uncle paid the tuition for him to go to The Salisbury School in Connecticut. “They had never seen someone so poorly prepared for their school,” he says. “I had to go back a couple of years because I didn’t know anything about reading and writing. I was trying to go to the 7th grade, but having lots of trouble there. I graduated when I was 20, directly to the Army, and from the Army I took advantage of the G.I. Bill (军人安置法案) and got a degree from University of Michigan.”
When David left for a teaching position in New England, he did not know that this move would change his life and the lives of thousands of young people with dyslexia—nor did he know, at that time, that he had such trouble. He worked with The Rectory School in Connecticut, which wanted him to work during the regular school year and at a camp during the summer. The camp was for dyslexics and it was there that David received his formal introduction to dyslexia and training in the Orton-Gillingham approach.
After a few years at the camp, David returned to Atlanta. He earned his master’s degree in education at Emory University and landed a teaching job at Georgia Military Academy. He was charged with teaching students how to read and write. From that environment, the idea for The Schenck School was born. With his help, these children got the appropriate intervention they desperately needed.
12.How about David Schenck when he was a child
A.He couldn’t get along well with his classmates.
B.He failed to perform as well as other students.
C.He found it hard to adapt to a new environment.
D.He disliked being part of the class he attended.
13.What happened when David was in Salisbury School
A.It is a pity that he didn’t get his diploma in hand.
B.He decided to drop out of school and join the army.
C.It was a challenge for him to complete his studies.
D.He entered University of Michigan from there.
14.What does the underlined word “dyslexia” mean in the passage
A.Difficulty in reading and spelling.
B.Trouble in dealing with others.
C.Interest in choosing a position.
D.Ability in teaching students.
15.What does the author want to tell in the passage
A.Schools should not frighten children.
B.David managed to become successful.
C.David is considered the greatest educator.
D.The Schenck School and its founder.

A little girl had been shopping with her mom in WalMart. She must have been 6 years old with brown hair and an innocent face. It was pouring with rain outside. We all stood just inside the door of the supermarket, carrying our shopping bags.
We waited. Some were patient, while others were irritated because it ruined their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the rain washing away the dirt and dust of the world.
The little girl's voice was so sweet as it broke the trance (昏睡状态) we were caught in. "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said. "What " Mom asked. "Let's run through the rain!" she repeated.
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated, "Mom, let's run through the rain."
"We'll get wet if we do," Mom said.
"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she pulled her mom's arm.
"This morning When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet "
"Don't you remember When you talked about Daddy's cancer, you said, 'If we all believe that we can get through this, then we can get through anything!'"
The entire crowd fell silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If we get wet, then maybe we just need washing," Mom said.

Then off they ran. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

19本段叙述了使用表情符号在缓和语气上的作用,根据空前的"Who hasn't received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day "可知,此处涉及邮件交流中的语气,故选B。

第二部分 语言知识运用
第一节
答案：21-25.BADCD; 26-30.DBDDA; 31-35.BCBAD
解析：21.在阳光明媚的一天,作者早早地来到学校,但却感觉情况有些不对。根据上文的early和sunny及后面的wrong可知,这里应用but表示转折。
22.根据上文中的"I felt that there was something wrong"和下文提到的Tom患了严重的疾病可以推知,此处指班里的同学表现异常。故选A。

30.根据Tom的不幸遭遇以及空前的"Why does this happen to him"可知,作者在感叹这不公平。
31.作者的许多朋友失去了信心和希望,他们甚至认为Tom没有机会存活下去,但是他依然很坚强。文章的最后一句中的"give up or lose heart"也是信息提示。
32.参见上题解析。故选C。
33.根据下文的"I will fight"可推断出Tom不会放弃,文章最后一句话也重现了这一信息,所以选give up。
34.根据下文的"now he feels great and everything is fine"可知,手术进展顺利。go有"(事情)进展,进行"之意,故选A。
35.从Tom的经历中,作者明白了不管生活中发生什么事情,我们都不能放弃和失去信心。故D项符合文意。
第二节：
答案：educated; development; its; until; the; of; visiting; financial; Activities; to have
解析：本文主要介绍了生态旅游的概念、起源及其标准等。
36考查形容词。在系动词become后应用形容词作表语,educated"受过教育的,有教养的"。
37考查名词。空格在冠词the之后,应填名词development"发展"。
38考查代词。空格在名词之前,因此填形容词性物主代词its,表示"它的"起源。
39考查特殊句式。句意:直到20世纪80年代末,它才作为一个旅游概念被人们广泛接受。根据句意和句中的not可知,本空填until。not...until..."直到……到……"。
40考查冠词。名词popularity后有定语,故其前应用定冠词the表特指,the growing popularity of... "……的日益流行"。
41考查固定用法。type后常跟of sth.,various types of trips"不同类型的旅行",因此填of。
42考查非谓语动词。在介词of后应接动名词(doing)作宾语,故填visiting。
43考查形容词。空格在名词aid之前,应填形容词作定语,financial"财政的"。
44考查名词的数。本空作主语,且本句的谓语动词是 range,故主话应是名词复数 activities,空格位于句首,首字母应大写。
45考查非谓语动词。 aim to do sth."力求做某事"为固定搭配。故本空用不定式 to have。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案：
A Cross-Country Running Race
In order to enrich our campus life, our school organized a 5km cross-country running race last Sunday. Ninety students from twenty classes participated in the race, among whom thirty were girls. Participants set out at 9 am from the gate of the school, through the Renmin Park, and finally arrived at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. After the race, we felt that not only did the event improve our physical and psychological quality, but it also helped us build a positive attitude towards life. We do hope that the school will carry out more similar activities in the future.
第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
Then off they ran. We all stood, watching and smiling as they rushed past the cars. They held their shopping bags over their heads in case they would get wet. There's no doubt that they got wet. But they did not mind it at all. Soon they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children on the way to their cars. And yes, I did, too. I ran in the rain for I needed washing not only my body but also my mind.
Paragraph 2:
The little girl was right. As she and her mom said, if we brave the elements, we can overcome any problems. We should never be frightened by the temporary problems we are faced with. They have taught me a lesson that with faith and courage, we can get through anything in our lives!
