Putting on a large-scale concert calls for the joint efforts of numerous staff members, some people rise to fame as a result, while others, as unsung heroes, toil away the scenes. Do you know what a page-turner is
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 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.”
4. What abilities should Titterton possess to work as a page turner
A．The ability to sing songs.
B．The ability to play the piano.
C．The ability to read music.
D．The ability to repair the instruments.
5. Which description about Titterton is correct
A．As a page-turner, his job is demanding.
B．As a page-turner, he has a high salary.
C．As a page-turner, he often makes mistakes.
D．As a page-turner, he communicates with the pianist verbally on stage.
6. How does Titterton exchange information with the pianist on stage
A．He communicates through languages.
B．He communicates through recognizing the “nodding”.
C．He communicates through performing in his own style.
D．He communicates through listening to the rhythm of the music.
7. What can we know from the last paragraph

C．Robert often ignores the audience.
D．Robert has very poor eyesight.

With the development of science and technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in human society and continuously transforming people’s lives in numerous aspects. AI is revolutionizing(彻底变革)education in ways previously unimaginable. According to a 2023 report by the International Journal of Educational Technology, AI applications in classrooms have increased by 300% over the past five years. This rapid popularity reflects educators growing appreciation of AI’s possibility to advance learning experiences.
One of the most significant applications is adaptive learning platforms. These AI-powered tools study students’ performance in real-time, adapting difficulty levels and providing personalized response. Research from Stanford University shows that students using such platforms achieve 23% higher retention rates(保留率)compared to traditional teaching methods. Dr. Helen Carter, an educational technologist at MIT, stresses, “AI doesn’t replace teachers but enables them to recognize learning gaps more effectively and personalize instruction accordingly.”
Beyond personalized learning, AI is also changing judging methods. Automated essay scoring systems can now judge student writing with remarkable correctness, while AI-powered analytics help teachers track class-wide progress instantly. A 2024 UNESCO study found that schools using AI-assisted scoring saved an average of 6 hours per week, allowing educators to focus more on individual student needs.
However, concerns remain about possible disadvantages. Professor David Miller from Harvard warns against overdependence, “AI systems trained on limited databases may generate problems if not carefully monitored.” His 2024 study found that 17% of AI-powered response contained cultural assumptions that didn’t match learners’ contexts. Additionally, some educators worry that AI overusing might reduce key human interaction in the learning process.
The agreement among researchers is that AI works best as an assistant rather than a replacement. A comprehensive meta-analysis of 50 studies (Johnson et al., 2024) concluded that blended learning—combining AI tools with human instruction—brings the highest student engagement and achievement levels. The report stresses that proper teacher training and clear moral guidelines are necessary for successful application. As Dr. Carter observes, “The future of education isn’t AI or teachers—it’s AI and teachers working together.”
8. Which of the following statements about the application of AI in education is TRUE
A．AI applications in classrooms have increased to 300% over the past five years.
B．Schools using AI-assisted scoring saved an average of 6 hours per day.
C．The application of AI in education has only advantages and no disadvantages.
D．The future of education is AI and teachers working together.
9. What can be inferred about Dr. Helen Carter’s attitude toward AI in education
A．She supports AI as a tool to help teachers, not replace them.
B．She thinks AI is only useful for grading essays.
C．She believes AI will finally replace teachers.
D．She warns that AI will create more problems in education.
10. The word “blended” in paragraph 5 most likely means ________.
A．produced
B．mixed
C．ignored
D．played
11. What is the author’s reason for writing this article
A．To challenge the use of AI in schools.
B．To recommend a specific AI learning platform.
C．To explain how AI is changing education.
D．To argue that teachers will lose their jobs because of AI.
D
With the development of society, humans keep generating massive amounts of waste, making the earth we live on hard to survive, consequently, numerous waste disposal methods have been developed. Landfills are places where a large amount of waste and other refuse(破烂) is buried in the ground. However, they are responsible for releasing a large amount of planet-warming methane gas into the atmosphere, a new study suggests.
The study, which was published in Science Advances on Wednesday, is aimed at helping local governments carry out targeted efforts to limit global warming by identifying areas of major concern. For this purpose, the scientists used satellite data from four major cities around the world—Delhi and Mumbai in India, Lahore in Pakistan and Buenos Aires in Argentina.
Based on the collected data, the scientists have drawn the conclusion that landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions(排放) worldwide, after oil and gas systems and agriculture. And further investigation shows that the methane released from the landfills is generated from the decomposition(分解) of natural waste in them, like food, wood or paper.
Methane, though only accounting for about 11 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, traps 80 times more heat in the atmosphere than CO . Scientists estimate that at least 25 percent of today’s warming is driven by methane from human actions. That’s why landfills are partly to blame for the global warming.
Joannes Maasakkers, a leader of the study, said, “We found that these landfills, which are relatively small compared to city sizes, are responsible for a large part of total emissions from a given area.” Another scientist, Euan Nisbet, who was not part of the study, said, “This new work shows just how important it is to manage landfills better, especially in countries like India where landfills are often on fire, resulting in a wide range of damaging pollutants(污染物)” He also added that the newer satellite technology and on-the-ground research make it easier for researchers to identify “who is polluting the world”.
12. Why did the scientists carry out the study
A．To reduce the emission of the methane.
B．To clarify which places people are concerned about.
C．To test out the new satellite technology.
D．To help the authorities control the global warming.
13. What do we know about methane gas according to the passage
A．Methane prevents more heat in the air from escaping than CO does.
B．Methane makes up most of the greenhouse gases.
C．More methane is released from landfills than from agriculture.
D．There exists methane in food, wood and paper.
14. What’s Euan Nisbet’s attitude towards the study
A．Unclear.
B．Concerned.
C．Favourable.
D．Doubtful.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A．Landfills are to blame for the release of much methane.
B．Satellite data help identify the source of the pollutants.
C．Methane causes the temperature of the earth to go up.
D．Waste and other refuse should be forbidden for their impact.

Misunderstandings often happen in our daily life. Sometimes they can cause great harm. So we must think twice before we act when dealing with such things, Only when we understand it on a deep level, can we solve it.
Mo and Terry were best friends. Whether they were walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, they were hardly out of each other’s sight. But several weeks ago, Terry started to stay away from Mo, which confused Mo.
This day, they had a physics exam, so Mo was waiting outside her class. She hated physics, because it was her worst subject. Terry looked back at her from the front, then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. Terry didn’t have a problem with physics.
“Hi, Mo. What’s wrong with Teiry I thought you were friends,” said one of her classmates, as Mo arrived.
“Yes, so did I,” said Mo, “but she hasn’t spoken to me for two weeks. She promised to help me revise for the physics exam, but then she ignored all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum told me she was busy. She doesn’t remember who her friends are!” said Mo angrily.
The other students were going into the exam room. The exam started. Mo couldn’t answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting in the next row. Mo was surprised. Terry was holding her phone under the table and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades She felt really angry at Terry but didn’t know what to do. It wasn’t fair! Mo never cheated and she failed lots of exams.
Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back at Mo and smiled sadly. Actually, Terry’s family were having a terrible time: her father was in the hospital because of a heart attack. Her father had a big operation today, and Terry was very worried. She couldn’t wait to check her mother’s message on the phone. But Mo knew nothing about it.
The bell rang. “Stop writing and put your pens down,” said Mr. Reed, a caring and easygoing teacher who was popular among students. Oh no, Mo hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again!
After the test, Mo wanted to talk to Terry, but she couldn’t find her. She was angry with Terry but she didn’t know what to do about Terry.

Then, Mo decided to go to the office, telling Mr Reed something about Terry. She told the teacher that Terry cheated in the exam with her phone and refused to keep her promise to help with physics. Mr Reed listened patiently and sighed. He told Mo Terry’s father was receiving heart surgery that day, and Terry kept checking messages about her dad out of great worry. She avoided Mo just because she was too upset to chat normally. Mo froze, full of regret the moment she heard the truth.
After knowing about the truth, Mo found she had misunderstood Terry, feeling guilty. She rushed out to look for Terry and spotted her sitting alone on the school bench with tearful eyes. Mo sat beside her and apologized sincerely for judging her without asking the truth. Terry poured out all her anxiety about her father. The two comforted each other and promised to communicate openly later. Their friendship recovered and became much stronger than before.
