B B By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova not as a musician but as her pa
19、ge turner. “Im 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 groups official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit besidethe pianist and turn the pages of the score so th
20、e musician doesnt 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 dont turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the musicwhen you ha
21、ve 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 o
22、f “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 Titter
23、ton 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 tohelp her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “Hes interested in the music, feeling

Performing in his own style. 27. Why is Ms Raspopovas husband “the worse page turner”? A. He has very poor eyesight.B. He
26、ignores the audience. C. He has no interest in music.D. He forgets to do his job. C C When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wis
27、ely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades todecimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl ( 水 禽 ) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to fee
28、d and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat. In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory ( 迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their surviva
29、l. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt
30、 as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources. About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the N
31、ational Wildlife Refuge System a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been cal
32、led one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated. 28. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America? A. Loss of wetlands.B. Popularity of water sports. C. Pollution of rivers.D. Arrival of other wild animals. 29. What does the underlined word “decimate” mea
33、n in the first paragraph? A. Acquire.B. Export. C. Destroy.D. Distribute. 30. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934? A. The stamp price has gone down.B. The migratory birds have flown away. C. The hunters have stopped hunting.D. The government has collected money. 31. Which of the follow
34、ing is a suitable title for the text? A. The Federal Duck Stamp StoryB. The National Wildlife Refuge System C. The Benefits of Saving WaterfowlD. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting D D Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intellingence. Many people now
35、misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a persons makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities
36、, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence. We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to he
37、lp her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person. Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicit
38、y have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and resear
39、chers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life. Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our
40、 hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction. 32. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intell
41、igence? A. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a persons mind. C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a persons positive qualities. 33. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2? A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept. C. To presen
42、t a fact.D. To make a prediction. 34. What is the authors attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence? A. Favorable.B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful.D. Unclear. 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence? A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations fo
43、r future studies. C.Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives. 第二节第二节 （共（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.52.5 分，满分分，满分 12.512.5 分）分） My husband and I just spent a week in Paris._36_So the first thingwe did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It w
44、as so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway. The place wasnt entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing ( 水 管 ) worked. _37_Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only
45、French phrase I mastered, and it s a shame I dont have much use for it. Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy.

46、ead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs. _39_ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we h
47、ad ever eaten. But they cost $18! In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency. You can tell this by cafs life. French cafs are always crowded._40_When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a de
48、al with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call. A. Not all the customers are tourists. B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent. C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed. D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farm
49、ers. E. Thats not the only reason the French eat less than we do. F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians. G. The food is so delicious that you dont need much of it to make you happy. 语言运用（共两节，满分语言运用（共两节，满分 3030 分）分） 第一节（共第一节（共 1515 小题；每小题小题；每小题 1 1 分，满分分，满分 1515 分）分
