五年高考练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2021全国新高考Ⅰ,B)
By day, Robert Titterton 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 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.”

Ⅱ.七选五
(2021北京)
Music has long been considered to be an enjoyable pastime for many people.  1  The mental health benefits from music can't be argued. Music could also be helping you with many other health problems behind the scenes.
 2  However,for the same reason,music can be very beneficial if one is in pain.By distracting (分心) the mind from the pain,music,people say,can lower stress and anxiety levels. This,of course,can lead to less pain.
Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed. 3  While the validity of the idea is still being assessed,the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure.Similarly, according to researchers,listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels, through the lowering of stress and anxiety.
When it comes to heart health,there is speculation (推测) that it's not the style of music, but rather the tempo that makes it so good for your heart health.In one European study,participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure. 4  On the other hand,when the music slowed,the participants' stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit.
 5  But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for,which is what makes music so valuable.
A.This feeling can also result in many other health problems.
B.Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud.
C.This idea is a little off the wall but still has scientific backing.
D.They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep.
E.The implications of music on overall well being are really impressive.
F.It is also highly popular due to the individualized effects on stress and anxiety.
G.Interestingly,the more cheerful the music was,the faster their heart rates were.

UNIT 5 MUSIC
五年高考练答案
Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了为钢琴演奏者做翻页工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情况。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but I've learnt to read music”可知一个翻乐谱的人应该学会识谱。故选A。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A lot of skills are needed for the job.”以及第四段第一句“Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.”可知这项工作需要很多技巧和大量的练习,由此可推断Titterton在舞台上的工作要求很高。故选C。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第四段的最后一句“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,钢琴家和翻谱员在舞台上无声的交流是很重要的,每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来暗示翻页,钢琴家需要和自己的翻谱员练习他们的“点头”,所以Titterton需要练习识别钢琴家发出的“点头”信号。故选B。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中(他对音乐很感兴趣,能感受到每一个音符,我不得不提醒他:“翻页,翻页!”)可推断他由于专注于音乐,忘了翻页。故选D。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是音乐对身体的好处。
1.F 细节句。空格后提到“音乐对心理健康的益处是毋庸置疑的”,F项“由于对压力和焦虑的个性化影响,它也非常受欢迎”中的stress and anxiety照应了mental health benefits。故F项符合语境。
2.B 细节句。空格后提到“然而,出于同样的原因,如果一个人处于痛苦中,音乐则是非常有益的”,However表转折,后句介绍音乐的好处,所以空格处为对音乐的负面评价,B项“一些专家说,如果声音太大,音乐可能是有害的”符合语境,B项中的harmful是关键词。
3.D 细节句。空格前提到“许多人喜欢在晚上睡觉前听些轻松的音乐”,D项“他们说,它可以起到很大的作用,使大脑平静到足以入睡”介绍了音乐对睡眠的益处,D项中的sleep与上文中的going to bed相互照应。
4.G 细节句。空格前提到“在欧洲的一项研究中,参与者听音乐,同时研究人员监测他们的心率和血压”,G项“有趣的是,音乐越欢快,他们的心率就越快”顺承上文所述内容,空后句也是一种提示。
5.E 细节句。本段讲的是音乐对身体总的好处,E项“音乐对整体健康的影响的确令人印象深刻”符合语境。
长难句
原句 When it comes to heart health,there is speculation that it's not the style of music, but rather the tempo that makes it so good for your heart health.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。句中When it comes to heart health作时间状语,第一个that引导同位语从句,解释说明speculation的具体内容,该同位语从句中又含有强调句型。
译文 当说到心脏健康时,有人猜测,并不是音乐的风格,而是音乐的节奏对心脏健康很有好处。
