专题14阅读理解人物故事类I、2021年高考真题试卷（新高考I卷B篇）By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his re time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova一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 re 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: J Turn, turn!" "Robertis the best page turner I've had in my entire life. began charging admission and advertising the place.

I just couldn' t help noticing the tree!It was located at one end of the yard, with a fence around it for protection. It was similar in form to the plastic trees I' d seen, but there was much more. You could see details more delicate than in any artificially made plant. And it was alive. But best of all was the smell-fresh, living smell, unfamiliar to the world outside with metal, plastic, and glass. I wanted to touch the bark, but the fence prevented me from doing so.On the way back, Iread throughthe brochures. One partsaid the O' Brienhomewould be torn down next year to makeroom for some insurancebuilding, and thetreewill have to go, too.I just sat still,fingering theobject in my pocket that I had picked intheO'Brien' s backyard.I think it' scalled an acorn （橡子）.1.

They didn' t even know who had bought it.For years after that, I didn' t have a bicycle that was specifically mine.

But after a while I missed riding. Finally, on a fall day, I bought a bicycle. Called a comfort bike, it has wider tires than my old bike and seven gears.

My father was a professional cyclist, and wanted to show us, his twin sons, the work of the trade and bond with us.The trip was across the San Juan Islands and then Vancouver Island. We prepared for the journey by going on smaller rides and practiced cycling with panniers （货 筐）.Adjusting to the weight on the bike was harder than I thought. When we set out for the trip, I knew that I yearned to have an adventure and wanted to see the beautiful sights of mountains, bears, moose, deer, forests, and much more.One night, after perhaps a week into the trip, we were on our last legs （路 程）getting to a campsite, and going down a large hill. It was raining moderately and we were coasting down the hill in eager delight to take a rest from going up a mountain with all of our gear and sore legs.Suddenly, my brother' s front tire slipped in the rain, and he slid into the middle of the road.
