In his spare though he goes on stage beside pi鄄 anist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but Unit2单元测试卷 13 高中英语选择性必修 第三册 （外研版） 精编版 as her page turner. “ I蒺m not a trained musi鄄 cian, but I蒺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蒺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蒺t have to break the flow of sound by doing it them鄄 selves. 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蒺t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the re鄄 peats 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, in鄄 cluding back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pi鄄 anist has their own style of “ nodding ” to in鄄 dicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances, there are mo鄄 ments 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鄄and鄄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蒺s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: Turn, turn! ” Robert is the best page turner I蒺ve had in my entire life. ” 21. 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. 22. Which of the following best describes Tit鄄 terton蒺s job on stage? A. Boring. B. Well鄄paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous. 23. What does Titterton need to practise? A. Counting the pages. B. Recognising the “ nodding ” . C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style. 24. Why isMs. Raspopova蒺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. B I am an active playgoer and play鄄reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the 14 short play. Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright （剧作家 ） hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impres鄄 sion growing out of the theme. It is not my in鄄 tention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effective鄄 ness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include come鄄 dy, satire, poignant drama, historical and re鄄 gional drama. To show the versatility （多面 性 ） of the short play, I have included a gui鄄 dance play, a radio play and a television play. Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the play鄄 wrights will be found at the end of this book. To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The house鄄 lights dim （变暗 ） . The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and di鄄 alogue will tell you the story. 25. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph? A. He has written dozens of plays. B. He has a deep love for the theater. C. He is a professional stage actor. D. He likes reading short plays to others. 26. What does the author avoid doing in his work? A. Stating the plays蒺 central ideas. B. Selecting works by famous playwrights. C. Including various types of plays. D. Offering information on the playwrights. 27. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays? A. Control their feelings. B. Apply their acting skills. C. Use their imagination. D. Keep their audience in mind. 28. What is this text? A. A short story. B. An introduction to a book. C. A play review. D. An advertisement for a theater. C Challenging work that requires lots of ana鄄 lytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age, a study published Wednesday in the jour鄄 nal Neurology suggests. Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1,000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers蒺 memory and thinking skills through a battery of tests. Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests. Those who had held mentally stimulating （刺激） , demanding jobs before retirement ten鄄 Unit2单元测试卷 15 高中英语选择性必修 第三册 （外研版） 精编版 ded to do the best on the tests. And they tend鄄 ed to lose cognitive （ 认 知 ） function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants蒺 overall health status. “ This works just like physical exercise, ” says Francisca Then, who led the study. “ Af鄄 ter a long run, you may feel like you蒺re in pain, you may feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work鄄sure, you will feel tired, but it can help your brain stay healthy. ” It蒺s not just corporate jobs, or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit, then points out. A waiter蒺s job, for example, that requires multitasking, teamwork and decision鄄 making could be just as stimulating as any high鄄level office work. And “ running a family household requires high鄄level planning and coordinating （协调 ） , ” she says. “ You have to organise the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries. ” Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons — including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still, continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help. 29. Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests? A. To assess their health status. B. To evaluate their work habits. C. To analyze their personality. D. To measure their mental ability. 30. How does Francisca Then explain her findings in Paragraph 4? A. By using an expert蒺s words. B. By making a comparison. C. By referring to another study. D. By introducing a concept. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. RetiredWorkersCan PickUpNewSkills B. Old People Should Take Challenging Jobs C. Your Tough Job Might Help Keep You Sharp D. Cognitive Function May DeclineAsYou Age D There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Know鄄 ing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well鄄 lived life. Society pushes us to specialize, to be鄄 come experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or re鄄 search. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one蒺s field. You may pursue train鄄 ing, degrees, or increasing levels of responsi鄄 bility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up. Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of free鄄 dom. These specialists could work at the o鄄 16 ffice until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their fami鄄 ly and friends, or travelled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion （排除 ） of others can hold back your true spirit. Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are peo鄄 ple of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective （视角） into spe鄄 cific fields of expertise （专长 ） . The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superi鄄 or doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills. Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chi鄄 nese history. Fascinated by the structural beau鄄 ty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is e鄄 qually interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “ I don蒺t know where it will lead, but I蒺m excited I蒺m on this pursuit. ” These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to a鄄 nother in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general know鄄 ledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy. 32. To become a specialist, one may have to . A. narrow his range of knowledge B. avoid responsibilities at work C. know more about the society D. broaden his perspective on life 33. The specialists mentioned in Paragraph 3 tend to . A. treasure their freedom B. travel around the world C. spend most time working D. enjoy meeting funny people 34. What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni? A. Passion alone does not ensure a person蒺s success. B. In鄄depth exploration makes discoveries possible. C. Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit. D. Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected. 35. What could be the best title for the pas鄄 sage? A. Be More a Generalist Than a Special鄄 ist B. Specialist or Generalist: Hard to Decide C. Turn a Generalist into a Specialist D. Ways to Become a Generalist 第二节 （共 5 小题 ； 每小题 2.5 分 ， 满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文， 从短文后的选项中选出 可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项 Unit2单元测试卷 17 高中英语选择性必修 第三册 （外研版） 精编版 为多余选项。 Things to Consider When Choosing a Major Majors are important in college because it蒺s what determines not only what degree you will graduate with, but what career you will be most qualified for once you蒺ve graduated. While it might not be something you want to think about right now, it is something you蒺re going to decide on eventually. 36. The biggest thing to remember when choosing a major is to stick with a subject that interests you. This is for your career, and you蒺re much more likely to be happy if you choose a field that蒺s in line with what you would like to pursue as a dream job. 37. It is undeniable （不可否认的） that some careers just make more money than others. That means that some majors are more valu鄄 able than others, and as college is supposed to be an investment, thinking about your dream salary is of great importance. 38. So don蒺t choose career that will bring you a great salary but that leaves you feeling depressed and unhappy. 39. If you蒺re one of those lucky students who know what you蒺d like your major to be before applying for college, we suggest that you re鄄 search your top choices first. Which ones are best known? Do these programs have a good reputation for helping students find employ鄄 ment in your field after graduation? Which schools offer world鄄class professors? These are important questions, because unfortunately, not all majors are created equally. Don蒺t Panic. If you蒺ve gone through all these tips and you still don蒺t know what you蒺d like to major in, don蒺t panic. It蒺s normal to go to college not having a clear idea of what you蒺d like to do as a career; it蒺s also normal to think you know what you want to do as a profession on鄄 ly to change your mind halfway through your time in college. Remember that college is about finding what truly motivates you, so don蒺t panic if it doesn蒺t show up right away. 40. A. Be confident with yourself. B. You have time. C. How much money do you want to make? D. Talk to professionals in the field. E. However, remember that your happiness is very important. F. What schools are best for your interests? G. What excites you? 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节， 满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题； 每小题 1 分， 满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文 ， 从每题所给的 A 、 B 、 C 、 D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 My life as a tax鄄paying employed person began in middle school, when, for three whole days, I worked in a baking factory.

I didn蒺t really understand his world ei鄄 ther: He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass （超过） anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation. Summers in the mid鄄70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weath鄄 er, I read about sports or practiced my trom鄄 bone （长号） . The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighbou鄄 20 ring farmer hired to work in his field. He ex鄄 plained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb蒺s鄄quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn蒺t sure how much it would amount to. At home, my dad said, “ A job蒺s a big step to growing up. I蒺m glad you will be con鄄 tributing to the household. ” My dad蒺s words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished. My labours lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn蒺t interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段， 每段的开头语已 为你写好。 Paragraph 1: The pay arrived at last.

Published in 1831, it tells a tragic story of events in Paris. The main story starts with a kidnap. Ugly Quasimodo was sent to kidnap beautiful Esmeralda but he failed and fell in love with her. Soon afterwards, when Esmeralda was persecuted, Quasimodo rescued her and hid her in the Notre鄄Dame Cathedral. One day, she was killed, which happened to be seen by Quasimodo. The killer turned out to be his master, who had adopted him and had his greatest respect. Feeling desperate, he killed his master and then ended his own life. As is shown in the story, the poor guy with the ugliest appearance proved to be the one with a beautiful soul. That蒺s what impressed me most and will push me further in my life to pursue inner beauty. I hope you蒺ll like it as well.

Who isn蒺t amazed by The Starry Night? A true masterpiece! M: Funny enough, van Gogh himself wasn蒺t pleased with that painting. He felt that it was too unrealistic. But I think it蒺s very calming. W: The way he painted light was so unique in his time. His art must have been very popular then. M: Actually, he never found success while he was alive. He lived a hard life and died relatively young. It wasn蒺t until after he passed away that his work was truly appreciated. W: He蒺d be happy to see how valuable it is now!

Then I met someone who worked as a tour leader and he told me that his company was on the look鄄out for tour guides and that I ought to apply. I mean, it was a great chance to see some new places. M: It sounds like a perfect job. W: Well, it was and it wasn蒺t. Turkey was great, the scenery, the food, the people. But it wasn蒺t much fun knowing exactly what you will be doing, what you will be eating, even what you will be talking about every day for the next three months.

According to the Healthy China 2030, the average life expectancy of Chinese people will reach 79 years which is 2 years longer than that in 2018. As people live longer, the Sandwich Generation is becoming more and more common. Becoming a part of the Sandwich Generation can affect your financial status, personal time, health, and career development. Although both men and women are involved, women are the ones who are primarily affected. Most women have common difficulties in dealing with various aspects including children, older parents, family, work, and personal well鄄being. Although they are encouraged to go into the workforce, nursery supply remains the biggest problem for them. But I don蒺t think it is an unsolvable problem. In my opinion, if the government gives financial support to take care of children and parents, it will greatly reduce the burden on the Sandwich Generation.

After school, I went to university where I studied law. However, I never practiced law. I was lucky enough to get a holiday job on a local newspaper as a reporter, and I stayed there. This, of course, gave me lots of opportunities to improve my writing skills. I had my first novel published during that period. It was called Tango. It wasn蒺t a great success, but it gave me useful contacts in the publishing world. My second novel, The Ballet Dancer, was much more successful. It even won a prize for new novelists. Since then, I蒺ve written three more novels and have also had a couple of collections of short stories published. At present, I蒺m experimenting with writing a play — The List. I feel I蒺m learning a great deal from this work... 第二部分 阅读 （共两节， 满分 50 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题； 每小题 2.5 分， 满分 37.5 分） 21~25 ACBDB 26~30 ACBDB 31~35 CACDA 21.
