举例

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 musicians don’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 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 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.

 

【答案】24. A        25. C       26. B        27. D

【解析】本文为记叙文。文章讲述了Robert Titterton本职工作是一名律师，在业余时间，他在舞台上与钢琴家Maria Raspopova并肩演出——不是作为音乐家，而是作为她的琴谱翻页者。

24. A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”可知，Titterton不是受过训练的音乐家，但他学会了识谱，这样他就可以在帮助Maria。故选A。

25. C 推理判断题。第二段中最后一句“He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.”说明作者在做这份工作的时候是非常紧张的，后面一段具体阐述了其原因，并且用了多个“make sure（确保）”，可知这份工作的要求十分高。A“Boring”意为“无聊的”，B项“Well-paid”意为“高薪的”，C项“Demanding”意为“要求高的”，D项“Dangerous”意为“危险的”。由此可知，C项符合文意，故选C。

26. B 细节理解题。第四段第三句“Silent onstage communication…with their page turner.”表明每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格，Titterton需要练习的技能是识别“点头”，分析四个选项可知，B项与之意义相符。故选B。

27. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段““He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’”，Raspopova需要说“翻页，翻页！”可知，Raspopova的丈夫经常忘记翻页，故选D。
