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 absorbed 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.” 24. 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. 25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage? A. Boring. B. Well-paid. 4 C. Demanding. D. Dangerous. 26. What does Titterton need to practise? A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”. C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style. 27. 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. C When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery. Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!”And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up. When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.” “Yeah,” I said. “Safe.” 28. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London? A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby. C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family. 29. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean? A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don’t worry! 30. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London? A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends. C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days. 31. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Children should learn a second language. B. Sport is necessary for children's health. C. Children need a sense of belonging. D. Seeing the world is a must for children. D In an effort to help out important insects like bees and butterflies, bus stops across the United 5 Kingdom (UK) and Europe are getting living roofs. Called “bee bus stops” or “buzz stops”, these bus stops are like ordinary bus shelters, but small gardens have been added to the roofs to provide much-needed islands of nature in a man-made environment of a city. Humans count on bees and other “pollinators” (授粉者) like butterflies to help grow plants. But in recent years, insect numbers have been dropping sharply. The Wildlife Trusts, a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK, says that insect numbers there have dropped by 50% since 1970. Bee bus stops are a small step toward supporting these important insects. The advertising company Clear Channel is working with the Wildlife Trusts and city governments to set up bee bus stops in cities across the UK, with the Wildlife Trusts giving advice on the sites of the shelters and the plants that are included. Because the soil for the rooftop garden is heavy, especially when it rains, the bus shelters need to be strong. The rooftop gardens need cutting about twice a year. But other than that, not much is needed to keep the gardens going. Clear Channel hopes to build at least 1, 000 bee bus stops in the UK. Clear Channel already has similar bee bus stop programs in several countries in Europe. In the Netherlands, the city of Utrecht has 300 bee bus stops. Research shows that these bus stops—along with many other steps taken to support pollinators—may be helping. After decades of dropping numbers, bee populations in the Netherlands seem to have become more stable over the last few years. The little gardens can also help to slightly lower city temperatures. Even though the bus shelter gardens are small, together they add up to a much larger area. Thirzah McSherry, who works for The Wildlife Trusts, says, “We’re living through a nature and climate crisis and we need to use every tool we’ve got to fight it.” 32. What’s the main purpose of “buzz stops”? A. To offer bus riders better shelters. B. To protect important pollinators. C. To improve the city’s environment. D. To build islands of nature for plants. 33. What does the Wildlife Trusts do in the program? A. Do soil research. B. Spread knowledge. C. Offer suggestions. D. Design rooftop gardens. 34. What can we know about bee bus stop program in the Netherlands? A. It may be fruitful. B. It has a long way to go. C. It’s the first of its kind in Europe. D. It keeps the city temperature stable. 35. What is Thirzah McSherry’s attitude to “buzz stops”? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive. 第二节 （共 5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party. 36 , if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers. People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living?”, you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to. 37 , it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation. 38 ? If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox（讲台）. If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 39 . 6 And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence? If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment（赞扬） . 40 . Just quickly turn around and say, “This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.” So being interesting at a dinner party isn’t that hard. A. How do you know the host B. The first step is to go exploring C. If you ask the question “How did you get here?” D. Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers E. Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say F. What about that person who had too much to drink or won’t stop talking G. He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most 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。 Molai grew up in a tiny village in India.

The rolling sea of clouds you see once you are at the top will remind you how tiny we 5 57 (human) are. The hot spring at the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It will 5 58 (undoubted) help you get refreshed! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets, the 59 (hot) the spring! Strange, isn’t it? But that’s how nature is—always leaving us 60 (amaze). What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can’t help 61 (wonder）how hard it was for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it 62 (be) the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it highlights the whole adventure 63 3 offers a place where you can sit down to rest your aching legs. As the song goes, this long and winding road “will never disappear”, and it will always stick in the visitor’s memory. It sure does in 64 (I).

And, yes, “the dog ate it” was one of them. As time passed, I grew tired of hearing “I don’t have my homework because…” And so, I quit accepting any excuse. When I moved to an inner-city middle school, I took my “no-excuse” attitude with me. “No excuses!” I warned my eighth graders on the first day of school. I collected homework at the beginning of each class. When a student didn’t have it, I never asked why. Instead, I sighed loudly, shook my head and—with the student looking on—recorded a zero in the grade book. Soon I became famous in the school for being extremely strict. Then, one afternoon, shortly after the bell rang, I stepped into the classroom and began to collect all the students’ homework. When I walked to Anthony, he dropped his head with his lower lip quivering（颤抖）. “I don’t have my homework because…” “No excuse.” I looked at him angrily, thinking there was another ugly excuse for being lazy. My warning stopped Anthony in mid-sentence. His face turned red with embarrassment and he was almost in tears. In that classroom of 25 students, there was dead silence. As usual, I sighed heavily, shook my head and recorded a zero in the grade book. After that, I moved to another student. One by one, they handed in their homework silently. After the class, still in anger, I stormed out of the classroom and into my office. I never believed Anthony had a really good reason for failing to finish his homework. How could a student who lost interest in their study and made up excuses for their laziness be forgiven? Never. And I would never give up my “No excuse” attitude. I would never listen to their stupid excuses. Never. But this time I was wrong. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: At the end of school that afternoon, Anthony came to my office. ______________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After that, I changed my attitude from “No excuse” to “Listen and Help”. _______________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ 期中考试英语答案 听力： 1-20 CCBAC ABABA CBCAB ACBCC 阅读理解： 21-23 B D C 24-27 A C B D 28-31 A B D C 32-35 BCAD 七选五： 36-40 B C F E G 完形填空 41-55.

The celebration was truly extraordinary. There were so many outstanding shows and unforgettable moments, among which the chorus left a deep impression on me. The beautiful voice of the students filled the playground, creating an atmosphere of warmth and joy. What impressed me most was the taekwondo performance. The students' powerful moves and high spirits demonstrated their courage and perseverance. It was not only a display of physical strength but also a display of the spirit of our school. This celebration made me feel extremely proud of my school. I am looking forward to more wonderful activities in the future. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写 At the end of school that afternoon, Anthony came to my office. “I know whatever happened, I should have finished my homework, but…” Heart-broken, he suddenly burst out crying. It was then that I decided to listen to him. I put my hand on Anthony’s thin shoulder, asking him gently to tell me what was the matter. “My dad has been in hospital for 2 weeks, and my mom waits tables at night, so I have to take care of my little brother.” How I regretted I hadn’t listened to his explanation earlier. I told him I would help him with his study at lunchtime. He nodded gratefully. And since then, Anthony had never missed any homework. After that, I changed my attitude from “No excuse” to “Listen and Help”. I decided to give up my “No excuse” attitude. Surprisingly, when I tried to listen, I discovered that truly my students were always in difficult situations and because of listening, I also could find better ways to help them. Slowly, both their study and our relationship improved. Most importantly, I learned that “I’ll listen” works a lot better than “No excuses! “This was a lesson that wasn’t taught in the education classes I’d taken in college. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
