[培优2] 高考语篇培素养——Topic:在业余时间做钢琴师的乐谱翻页者
◆真题文本
◆真题再做
(2021·新高考卷)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 upandcoming 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.”
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.Wellpaid.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了律师Robert Titterton在业余时间做钢琴师Maria Raspopova的乐谱翻页者的经历。
1.A [细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知,想做钢琴师的乐谱翻页者需要识谱。]
2.C [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A lot of skills are needed for the job.”和第四段中的“Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.”以及文中对翻谱员工作的具体描述可知,Titterton在舞台上的工作需要很多的技巧以及大量的练习。demanding意为“要求高的,需要高技能的”,符合题意。]
3.B [细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知,每个钢琴家都有他们自己的“点头”风格来暗示需要翻页,他们需要同他们的翻页者一起练习。所以Titterton需要练习及时识别钢琴师的点头翻页示意。]
4.D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He's absorbed in the music ...‘Turn, turn!’”可知,她的丈夫太专注于音乐了,他总是忘记自己的翻页工作,还需要她去提醒翻页。]
