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 musiciandoesn’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 required 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 practice 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 Mr. 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.”

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.C. Demanding.D. Dangerous.

26. What does Titterton need to practice?

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.

答案及解析：

24. A. Read music.

解析：根据文章第二段中的描述，“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” 可知，Titterton 作为翻页员需要能够读懂乐谱。

25. C. Demanding.

解析：根据文章第三段中的描述，“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.” 可知，Titterton 的工作要求很高，需要确保不翻错页，并且能够在乐谱中找到重复的部分。

26. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.

解析：根据文章第五段中的描述，“Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practice with their page turner.” 可知，Titterton 需要练习的是识别钢琴家提示翻页的“点头”动作。

27. D. He forgets to do his job.

解析：根据文章倒数第二段中的描述，“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!’” 可知，Raspopova 的丈夫因为太专注于音乐，以至于忘记了翻页的工作，所以她认为他是“最差的翻页员”。

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 wisely. 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 sportsman. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息地).

In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), anincreasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. 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 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 National 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 called 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” mean 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 following is a suitable title for the text?

A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story

B. The National Wildlife Refuge System

C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl

D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

答案及解析：

28. A. Loss of wetlands.

解析：根据第一段中的描述，“Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.” 可知，湿地面积的减少是水禽数量下降的一个原因。

29. C. Destroy.

解析：根据第一段中的上下文，探险者和随后的定居者在短短几十年内对自然资源造成了巨大的破坏，可以推断“decimate”的意思是“destroy”，即摧毁、破坏。

30. D. The government has collected money.

解析：根据第二段中的描述，“all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp.” 以及第三段中的描述，“About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund...” 可知，1934年法案的直接结果是政府通过鸭票筹集了资金。

31. A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story.

解析：整篇文章讲述了联邦鸭票的起源、目的、资金使用和成效，因此“A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story”是最合适的标题。其他选项虽然与文章内容相关，但没有涵盖文章的全部主题。

D

Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence.Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s 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, 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 help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Beingemotionally 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 publicity 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 researchers 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 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 intelligence?

A. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.

C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person’s 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 present a fact.D. To make a prediction.

34. What is the author’s 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 for future studies.

C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.

答案及解析：

32. D. It refers to a person's positive qualities.

解析：根据第一段中的描述，“Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test...” 可知，现在很多人错误地将情绪智力理解为一个人性格中几乎所有积极但无法通过IQ测试衡量的品质。

33. B. To clarify a concept.

解析：作者在第二段中提到“doctor”和“cheater”是为了阐明情绪智力这个概念。通过举例说明情绪智力可以被用于好的目的(如医生帮助病人)或坏的目的(如骗子控制潜在受害者)，作者澄清了情绪智力并不一定使一个人成为道德的人。

34. A. Favorable.

解析：根据第三段中的描述，“Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.” 可知，作者认为情绪智力的普及总的来说利大于弊，因此作者对情绪智力的普及持积极态度。

35. B. Expectations for future studies.

解析：最后一段主要谈论了对情绪智力未来研究的期望，希望科学的发展能够提供新的视角来研究人们如何管理自己的生活，以及情绪智力如何指导正确的方向。因此，该段主要关注的是对未来研究的期望。
