2021新高考 I 卷B篇阅读二次开发目录内容板块一高考真题试做板块二重点字词释义板块三单句语法填空板块四阅读长难句解析板块五相同话题训练真题试做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.一:重点词汇lawyer spare pianist musician performance chairman official score flow as nervous as instrument repeat spot explain require plenty of practice including silent communication indicate get ready for draft fall off up-and-coming note entire demanding count recognize object eyesight ignore audience 语法填空1.I’m not a trained musician, I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her (perform).2.His job is to sit beside the pianist turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it (them)3. “My husband is the (bad) page turner,” she laughed.4.

For those with small hand spans(掌距),it's difficult to properly play many works of Beethoven and Brahms. Those who attempt to play them either get used to skipping notes or risk injury with repeated play. Leone is familiar with such challenges. Born into a family of musicians, she favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span and earned a degree as a doctor in musical arts.The idea of smaller keyboards first met resistance from some traditionalists. Leone also said that when she raised the issue with one Viennese professor, he told her there were already too many pianists anyway.Though such resistance is fading, there are some very traditional people who think of piano as a competitive thing. Leone said," This is art, not sport. It's about making as much beautiful art as possible, and we should give everybody the opportunity to do that."1.Why did Elena Yi find it hard to play a Chopin concerto so well?A. Her fingers got injured. B. It was time-consuming. C. Her hand spans were small D. The traditional piano was out of tune. 2. What is paragraph 4 intended to do?A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Add some background information. C. Introduce a new topic for discussion. D. Provide some advice for pianists.3. What is the Viennese professor's attitude towards smaller keyboards?A. Disapproving. B. Objective. C. Unclear. D. Positive.4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. Yi's Road to a Brilliant Artist B. Hard-working SMU ProfessorC. Traditional Piano: A Competitive Thing D. The Story Behind Smaller Keyboard Pianos.
