By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare 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 Titterton 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 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. “He’s interested 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.”
1.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.
2.Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
3.What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
4.Why is Ms Raspopova’s 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.

A table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm can carry plates of food, navigate in a restaurant, miaow at diners and even react to having its ears stroked (抚摸).
Making its debut at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the so-called BellaBot was built for Chinese restaurants lacking enough waiters.
It is the brainchild of the Chinese robotics and artificial intelligence firm PuduTech. It features four shelves in the centre of its tower-like body to carry plates. Having been loaded up with meals by its human colleagues, the cat-themed robotic waiter miaows when it delivers food to diners to encourage them to take their plates. If customers thank BellaBot by stroking its ears, it will respond with a look of pleasure on its on-board screen, which displays animations of a cat's face. "The owner's hand is so warm," BellaBot has been programmed to respond.
However, much like a real cat, the robot's reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long. "It gets mad to remind you not to interrupt its job," the designers introduced. The BellaBot waiter robot is a more personality-rich update to PuduTech's previous model, which features a more utilitarian(实用主义的) design and user interface.
Both BellaBot and its predecessor were designed with a particular mind to Chinese restaurants which are often short of waiting staff.
In a real-world food service setting, however, BellaBot may find it difficult to operate at peak times. Nevertheless, restaurants are expected to increase their reliance on automation whether in the form of robotic waiting staff or otherwise. Furthermore, improvements in technology will see consumer robot designs grow steadily better at communicating with humans and facing new activities.
1.The underlined word "debut" in the second paragraph probably means __________.
A.first production B.first sale C.first appearance D.first design
2.The robot cat is able to do the following except _________.
A.load plates by itself and deliver food to diners B.help diners find seats in a restaurant
C.react to diners with its ears stroked D.remind diners not to pet it for too long
3.The text is mainly written to _______.
A.make an advertisement B.introduce an updated invention
C.predict future robot designs D.solve the problems Chinese restaurants are facing
4.What can be the best title for the text
A.Chinese robotics and artificial intelligence B.A Chinese technology firm
C.Improvements in robot design D.A table-waiting robot cat
D
Sometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discovered its harbor. Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there—broad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds, a cheerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living. I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After our third run Andrew shutdown the engine, and we went our separate ways-he for a lunch break, I to explore the city.
“I'll miss these old boats,” he said as we parted. “How do you mean ” I asked. “Oh, they're replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they're not so elegant, and they're not fun to pilot. But that's progress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and progress are the watchwords(口号), and traditions are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city's official historian, told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much of its past, including many of its finest buildings. “Sydney is confused about itself,” she said. “We can't seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. It's a conflict that we aren't getting any better at resolving(解决).”
On the other hand, being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. “Many people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me. “What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2,000 years of their culture, the Greeks some 3,000 years, and the Chinese more still. We've got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country. It's a pretty hard combination to beat.”
He is right, but I can't help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Sydney's striking architecture.
B.The cultural diversity of Sydney.
C.The key to Sydney's development.
D. Sydney's tourist attractions in the 1960s.
2.What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds
A.He goes to work by boat. B. He looks forward to a new life.
C. He pilots catamarans well. D.He is attached to the old ferries.
3.What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney
A. It is losing its traditions. B. It should speed up its progress.
C. It should expand its population. D. It is becoming more international.
4.Which statement will the author probably agree with
A.A city can be young and old at the same time.
B.A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
C.Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D. Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

Practical Ways to Get Motivated
Be mindful of your "why".
If I need to clean the floor, but I really don't like cleaning, then I won't feel very motivated to do it.

第二节 （满分25分）
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather's house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging on them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun spending the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door—one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed and turned (辗转反侧) in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He dung(紧抱) to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, "That's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house instantly. They thought that that would be safe.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, "The sea is rising! The sea is rising!" The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched dumbstruck(惊呆的).
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, "How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, "You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water poured in.
Waves about twelve meters high came in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.
Paragraph 1 :
Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
"Sami, Sami!" Grandpa cried. "Don't be scared, little one! Come to me, quickly!"

4.考查动词词义辨析。根据语境可知,作者没有赢得学校选举需要的东西。take意为"需要,拿",符合语境。educate教育,教导;provide提供;mean打算,意味着。

16.答案：
The Old Man and the Sea was written by Ernest Hemingway. The hero of the novel is an old fisherman named Santiago.
The novel tells a story about how the hero fights against his enemy. He doesn't catch a fish for 84 days in a row. On the 85th day, he meets a very large fish, which is difficult to cope with. Even faced with the threat from a shark, he finally succeeds in bringing the fish home.
Personally, I think this is a touching story that will motivate everyone, whatever their age.
17.答案：
Paragraph 1:
Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. Grandpa fought the waves and strived to catch Sami, but failed. Sami drifted away! He struggled to keep his head above the water. The water pushed him ahead. Fortunately, he caught a palm tree in his courtyard. He panicked and screamed out at Sami but could not see him. He clung to the tree tightly while the sea water was all around. In the hope of seeing Sami, Grandpa climbed higher up the tree. The water carried Sami round and round.
Paragraph 2:
"Sami, Sami!" Grandpa cried. "Don't be scared, little one! Come to me, quickly!" "But Grandpa, I can't swim!" Another wave came with terrifying speed and force. Sami cried in despair. Suddenly, Sami felt himself thrown onto the top of a tree. He immediately held it! Looking around, he saw everything was terribly destroyed; but in the near distance, his grandpa was on another tree! Soon it was calm; both Grandpa and Sami came down from the trees and rushed to hug each other, and then they hugged the trees with tears of gratitude.
解析： 这是一篇读后续写作文。Sami的爷爷家周国的树木遭到砍伐，爷爷保住了家里的椰子树。在地震和海啸来临时，两棵椰子树救了Sami和爷爷。根据Paragraph 1的开头“Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them.”可知，下文是描述洪水来临时，情况是多么的危急。Paragraph2的开头讲“'Sami, Sami！' Grandpa cried.. 'Don't be scared, little one, come to me, quickly. '”，因此可推知，接下来应该描述爷爷和Sami在洪水中努力求生，后来因为两棵椰子树得以获救的过程。
文章长短句穿插使用，条理清晰，语言流杨。使用了介词作目的状语（如In hope of seeing Sami, Grandpa climbed higher up the tree.）；现在分词短语作状语（如Looking around, he saw everything was terribly destroyed）等较复杂的结构；此外还使用了drift；struggle；gratitude等高级词汇，这些都彰显了作者较强的语言驾驭能力，也提升了文章的档次。

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare 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 Titterton 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 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. “He’s interested 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.”
1.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.
2.Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
3.What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
4.Why is Ms Raspopova’s 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.

A table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm can carry plates of food, navigate in a restaurant, miaow at diners and even react to having its ears stroked (抚摸).
Making its debut at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the so-called BellaBot was built for Chinese restaurants lacking enough waiters.
It is the brainchild of the Chinese robotics and artificial intelligence firm PuduTech. It features four shelves in the centre of its tower-like body to carry plates. Having been loaded up with meals by its human colleagues, the cat-themed robotic waiter miaows when it delivers food to diners to encourage them to take their plates. If customers thank BellaBot by stroking its ears, it will respond with a look of pleasure on its on-board screen, which displays animations of a cat's face. "The owner's hand is so warm," BellaBot has been programmed to respond.
However, much like a real cat, the robot's reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long. "It gets mad to remind you not to interrupt its job," the designers introduced. The BellaBot waiter robot is a more personality-rich update to PuduTech's previous model, which features a more utilitarian(实用主义的) design and user interface.
Both BellaBot and its predecessor were designed with a particular mind to Chinese restaurants which are often short of waiting staff.
In a real-world food service setting, however, BellaBot may find it difficult to operate at peak times. Nevertheless, restaurants are expected to increase their reliance on automation whether in the form of robotic waiting staff or otherwise. Furthermore, improvements in technology will see consumer robot designs grow steadily better at communicating with humans and facing new activities.
1.The underlined word "debut" in the second paragraph probably means __________.
A.first production B.first sale C.first appearance D.first design
2.The robot cat is able to do the following except _________.
A.load plates by itself and deliver food to diners B.help diners find seats in a restaurant
C.react to diners with its ears stroked D.remind diners not to pet it for too long
3.The text is mainly written to _______.
A.make an advertisement B.introduce an updated invention
C.predict future robot designs D.solve the problems Chinese restaurants are facing
4.What can be the best title for the text
A.Chinese robotics and artificial intelligence B.A Chinese technology firm
C.Improvements in robot design D.A table-waiting robot cat

Sometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discovered its harbor. Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there—broad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds, a cheerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living. I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After our third run Andrew shutdown the engine, and we went our separate ways-he for a lunch break, I to explore the city.
“I'll miss these old boats,” he said as we parted. “How do you mean ” I asked. “Oh, they're replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they're not so elegant, and they're not fun to pilot. But that's progress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and progress are the watchwords(口号), and traditions are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city's official historian, told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much of its past, including many of its finest buildings. “Sydney is confused about itself,” she said. “We can't seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. It's a conflict that we aren't getting any better at resolving(解决).”
On the other hand, being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. “Many people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me. “What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2,000 years of their culture, the Greeks some 3,000 years, and the Chinese more still. We've got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country. It's a pretty hard combination to beat.”
He is right, but I can't help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Sydney's striking architecture.
B.The cultural diversity of Sydney.
C.The key to Sydney's development.
D. Sydney's tourist attractions in the 1960s.
2.What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds
A.He goes to work by boat. B. He looks forward to a new life.
C. He pilots catamarans well. D.He is attached to the old ferries.
3.What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney
A. It is losing its traditions. B. It should speed up its progress.
C. It should expand its population. D. It is becoming more international.
4.Which statement will the author probably agree with
A.A city can be young and old at the same time.
B.A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
C.Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D. Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

Practical Ways to Get Motivated

第二节 （满分25分）
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather's house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging on them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun spending the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door—one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed and turned (辗转反侧) in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He dung(紧抱) to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, "That's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house instantly. They thought that that would be safe.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, "The sea is rising! The sea is rising!" The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched dumbstruck(惊呆的).
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, "How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, "You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water poured in.
Waves about twelve meters high came in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.
Paragraph 1 :
Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
"Sami, Sami!" Grandpa cried. "Don't be scared, little one! Come to me, quickly!"

13.答案：CGAFE

②由本段小标题“Celebrate your successes.”并结合空后的“In the same way, how can you motivate yourself if you're not going to reward yourself and celebrate your successes ”可知,设空处应为与其道理相通的一件事情。故G项(不通过奖赏你能训练好一只狗吗 )与语境最吻合。
③设空处为该段小标题。由本段第一句“Imagine how good you'll feel when you've reached your goal.”可知,A项(想象一下你已经做到了)符合语境。
④空前一句问“What does it feel like ”,结合空后的“Focus on that feeling”可知,F项(你可能会感到骄傲、快乐、满足或其他任何情绪)符合语境。

The novel tells a story about how the hero fights against his enemy. He doesn't catch a fish for 84 days in a row. On the 85th day, he meets a very large fish, which is difficult to cope with. Even faced with the threat from a shark, he finally succeeds in bringing the fish home.
Personally, I think this is a touching story that will motivate everyone, whatever their age.
17.答案：
Paragraph 1:
Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. Grandpa fought the waves and strived to catch Sami, but failed. Sami drifted away! He struggled to keep his head above the water. The water pushed him ahead. Fortunately, he caught a palm tree in his courtyard. He panicked and screamed out at Sami but could not see him. He clung to the tree tightly while the sea water was all around. In the hope of seeing Sami, Grandpa climbed higher up the tree. The water carried Sami round and round.
Paragraph 2:
"Sami, Sami!" Grandpa cried. "Don't be scared, little one! Come to me, quickly!" "But Grandpa, I can't swim!" Another wave came with terrifying speed and force. Sami cried in despair. Suddenly, Sami felt himself thrown onto the top of a tree. He immediately held it! Looking around, he saw everything was terribly destroyed; but in the near distance, his grandpa was on another tree! Soon it was calm; both Grandpa and Sami came down from the trees and rushed to hug each other, and then they hugged the trees with tears of gratitude.
解析： 这是一篇读后续写作文。Sami的爷爷家周国的树木遭到砍伐，爷爷保住了家里的椰子树。在地震和海啸来临时，两棵椰子树救了Sami和爷爷。根据Paragraph 1的开头“Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them.”可知，下文是描述洪水来临时，情况是多么的危急。Paragraph2的开头讲“'Sami, Sami！' Grandpa cried.. 'Don't be scared, little one, come to me, quickly. '”，因此可推知，接下来应该描述爷爷和Sami在洪水中努力求生，后来因为两棵椰子树得以获救的过程。
文章长短句穿插使用，条理清晰，语言流杨。使用了介词作目的状语（如In hope of seeing Sami, Grandpa climbed higher up the tree.）；现在分词短语作状语（如Looking around, he saw everything was terribly destroyed）等较复杂的结构；此外还使用了drift；struggle；gratitude等高级词汇，这些都彰显了作者较强的语言驾驭能力，也提升了文章的档次。
