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.”

Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music.
　1　At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid 1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. 　2　They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说). John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.
　3　They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7,1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. 　4　The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion(入侵) by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 　5　
A.They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.

五年高考练
Ⅰ. A
◎语篇解读　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Cardiff当地的一些剧院和娱乐场所。
1.D　细节理解题。根据文章“St David’s Hall”部分中的“St David’s Hall is home to the annual Welsh Proms Cardiff (St David’s Hall是Cardiff一年一度的Welsh Proms的举办地)”可知,Cardiff的Welsh Proms活动在St David’s Hall举办。故选D。
2.B　细节理解题。根据文章“The Glee Club”部分中的“If you are looking for the best comedies on tour and brilliant live music, you should start here. (如果你正在寻找最好的巡演喜剧和精彩的现场音乐,你应该从这里开始。)”可知,人们可以在The Glee Club欣赏喜剧。故选B。
3.A　细节理解题。根据文章“New Theatre”部分中的“The New Theatre has been the home of quality drama, musicals, dance and children’s shows for more than 100 years. (100多年来,New Theatre一直是优质戏剧、音乐剧、舞蹈和儿童节目的发源地。)”以及其下面的网站“www.newtheatrecardiff.co.uk”可知,可以在www.newtheatrecardiff.co.uk网站找到Cardiff存在最久的剧院。故选A。
长难句　
原句　Every weekend this is “Wales” premier comedy club where having a great time is the order for both audiences and comedy stars alike.
分析　这是一个主从复合句。where引导的定语从句修饰先行词club,从句主语为动名词短语having a great time。
译文　每个周末,这里都是“威尔士”顶级喜剧俱乐部,观众和喜剧明星都要在这里度过一段美好时光。
B
◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。在音乐家演奏时为他们翻乐谱的人虽然在舞台上不引人注意,但需要很多技巧和大量的训练。
4.A　细节理解题。根据第一段中“but I’ve learnt to read music(但是我已经学会了识谱)”可知一个翻乐谱的人应该学会识谱,故答案为A项。
5.C　推理判断题。根据第三段中“A lot of skills are needed for the job.(这份工作需要大量的技巧。)”以及下文中的关键信息“have to”和“make sure”可综合推断Titterton在舞台上的工作要求很高,故选C项。boring没趣的,令人厌倦(或厌烦)的;well paid工资高的;dangerous危险的。
6.B　推理判断题。根据第四段中“and each pianist has their own style of ‘nodding’ to indicate a page turn(每个钢琴家都有自己的‘点头’风格来示意翻页)”可推断Titterton需要识别钢琴家发出的“点头”信号,才能准确地翻页,故答案为B项。
7.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say:‘Turn, turn!’(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,故答案为D项。
长难句　
原句　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.
分析　本句为并列复合句。前一分句为简单句;在后一分句中,which引导定语从句,修饰先行词“nodding”。
译文　舞台上的无声交流是关键的,每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来暗示翻页,这需要他们和为他们翻乐谱的人一起练习。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了甲壳虫乐队的发展、在美国的巡演以及对美国音乐的影响。
1.C　本段介绍了摇滚音乐,根据空后的At that time可知,设空处应提到了时间,而且与摇滚音乐有关,选项中只有C项讲的是摇滚音乐,并且讲述了其发展的时间,所以C项“摇滚音乐是在20世纪50年代和20世纪60年代早期发展起来的。”承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
2.B　根据空前的“extremely popular in England”以及后文的“They became the hottest thing”可知,本段的主要内容是甲壳虫乐队在英国的流行程度,所以B项“甚至他们的发型在当时都成为主要的趋势。”承上启下,符合语境。且关键词Even是一个提示,故选B。
3.A　根据空后一句可知,他们不确定美国人会对这种新的音乐类型作何反应,由此可推知他们首次来美国演出。所以A项“1964年,他们决定去美国巡演。”符合本段的主旨,同时引出了下面美国巡演的内容。故选A。
4.G　根据设空处后一句可知,音乐会进行了现场直播,吸引了当时电视历史上最多的一晚观众。所以推知设空处应与音乐会有关,G项“他们在哥伦比亚广播公司电视台的第53街演播室举行了在美国的首场音乐会。”中的concert照应了第三段的主题,符合本段的内容。故选G。
5.E　根据设空处前两句可知,此处介绍了甲壳虫乐队对美国音乐的深远影响。所以E项“很多摇滚乐队能够跟着甲壳虫乐队的步伐。”承接上文,也是对甲壳虫乐队影响的描述,符合语境。故选E。
