中等‑1【2021｜新高考 I 卷 完形｜律师兼职钢琴翻谱员，坚守热爱｜记叙文｜224 词】
英文原文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 says he gets just as nervous as those performing 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.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music go on 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!’”
中文译文白天，罗伯特・蒂特顿是一名律师。业余时间，他会登台坐在钢琴家玛丽亚・拉斯波波娃身旁—— 不是作为演奏者，而是做她的乐谱翻谱员。“我并非科班音乐人，但我学会了识谱，这样就能在演出中帮到玛丽亚。”
蒂特顿先生是欧米茄合奏团的主席，过去四年，他一直担任乐团官方翻谱员。他的工作就是坐在钢琴家身边翻动乐谱，让演奏者不用亲手翻页，避免打断音乐的流畅。他坦言，自己和台上演奏的人一样紧张。
这份工作需要不少技巧。你不能一次翻两页；遇到乐曲重复段落时，要找准位置回翻乐谱。
做翻谱员需要大量练习。部分乐曲长达 40 分钟，要翻多达 50 次乐谱，还包含重复段落的回翻。台上无声的配合至关重要，每位钢琴家都有自己专属的 “点头” 示意翻页的方式，需要和翻谱员反复磨合。
但和所有演出一样，也会出现意外状况。蒂特顿回忆：“我正要翻页准备下一段，翻页带起的气流把剩余乐谱页吹落谱架。幸运的是我及时接住，把乐谱放了回去。”
大多数翻谱员是钢琴专业学生或是崭露头角的青年钢琴家。不过拉斯波波娃女士曾经请自己的丈夫临时上台帮忙。她笑着说：“我丈夫是最糟糕的翻谱员，他沉浸音乐，感受每一个音符，我不得不不停提醒他：‘翻页，快翻！’”

英文原文We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2‑year‑old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes the page with his finger.
What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high‑tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new‑media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2‑year‑old grandson sees it on his tablet.
中文译文我们新闻从业者身处全新叙事时代，拥有众多多媒体工具。很多年轻人甚至察觉不到这是新鲜事物，对他们而言这一切习以为常。
春节假期，我和两岁的小孙子坐在沙发上，这件事让我深有体会。我带来一本儿童读物，文字简单、图画色彩丰富，非常适合他这个年纪。
想象这样一幕：孙子坐在我的腿上，我把书举在前面，方便他看图画。我读故事的时候，他伸出手指去戳书页。
我心想，怎么回事，他只是喜欢图画吧。我翻过一页继续读，他戳书页更加用力，我差点把书脱手。我满心疑惑：这孩子是不是哪里不对劲？
随后我恍然大悟。他其实并不熟悉纸质书本。他爸爸经常用平板电脑哄他开心，平板上的彩色画面，手指一碰就会动起来。他以为我的故事书也是这样。
抱歉啊孩子，这本书不属于你的高科技世界。它老旧、没有动态效果，就像爷爷一样，算是一件老物件。虽说年岁已高，但在数字方面我并不落伍。我剪辑视频、制作音频，使用移动支付，还搭建过网站。
但我的新媒体体验也有短板：我很少面对镜头，我的长相只适合做广播。可上周《中国日报》还是邀请我，为京津冀协同发展的视频项目分享个人故事。
就这样，爷爷短暂成了网络红人，体验了一把转瞬即逝的名气！我保证不会飘飘然。但我一定要让两岁的小孙子在平板上看到这段视频。
中等‑3【2023｜新高考 I 卷 完形｜越野赛跑女孩帮扶受伤对手共同冲线｜记叙文｜229 词】
英文原文On Oct.11, hundreds of runners competed in a cross‑country race in Minnesota. Melanie Bailey should have finished the course earlier than she did. Her delay came because she was carrying a competitor across the finish line.
As reported by a local newspaper, Bailey was more than two‑thirds of the way through her race when a runner in front of her began crying in pain. She stopped to help her fellow runner, Danielle Lenoue. Bailey took her arm to see if she could walk forward with help. She couldn’t. Bailey then bent down to let Lenoue climb onto her back and carried her all the way to the finish line, then another 300 feet to where Lenoue could get medical attention.
Once there, Lenoue was assessed and later taken to a hospital, where she learned that she had serious injuries in one of her knees. She would have struggled with extreme pain to make it to that aid checkpoint without Bailey’s help.
As for Bailey, she is more confused about why her act is considered a big deal. “She was just crying. I couldn’t leave her,” Bailey told the reporter. “I feel like I was just doing the right thing.”
Although the two young women were strangers before the race, they’ve since become friends. Neither won the race, but the spirit of human kindness won the day.
中文译文10 月 11 日，数百名选手参加明尼苏达州一场越野赛跑。梅兰妮・贝利本可以更早完成比赛，她之所以耽搁，是因为她背着一名竞争对手冲过了终点线。
据当地报纸报道，贝利跑完赛程三分之二以上时，前方一名选手痛苦地哭了起来。她停下脚步帮助同伴丹妮尔・勒努。贝利挽住她的胳膊，试着搀扶她往前走，但勒努已经无法行走。贝利于是弯下腰，让勒努爬到自己背上，一路把她背过终点线，又继续走了 300 英尺，把她送到可以接受医疗救助的地点。
到达之后，勒努接受伤情评估，随后被送往医院，检查得知她的一侧膝盖严重受伤。倘若没有贝利伸出援手，她只能在剧痛中艰难挪到救助点。
而贝利本人很不解，为什么自己的举动会被大肆报道。她告诉记者：“她当时痛得在哭，我不能丢下她。我只是做了该做的事。”
赛跑之前，两个女孩素不相识，赛后却成了朋友。她们谁都没有赢得这场比赛，但人性善意的精神取得了胜利。
中等‑4【2024｜新高考I卷 阅读B｜与词典相伴成长，学会独立思考｜夹叙夹议文｜321词】
英文原文
When I was a kid, I was extremely shy. I preferred reading books alone to playing with other children. My parents bought me a thick dictionary, and it became my best friend. I would spend hours looking up words, memorizing their meanings and learning how to use them in sentences. I loved the way it opened up a whole new world of knowledge for me.
At school, this dictionary helped me a lot. While other students struggled with new words in textbooks, I could understand them easily. My teachers often praised me for my rich vocabulary and accurate expressions. Gradually, I became more confident in my studies. However, the biggest benefit the dictionary brought me was not academic improvement, but the ability to think independently.
In the past, I always relied on teachers and parents to tell me right from wrong. But when reading the dictionary, I found that every word had multiple meanings and different usage scenarios. There was no absolute fixed answer in language. This made me realize that many things in life are not black and white. We need to analyze and judge by ourselves instead of blindly following others’ opinions.
Even today, I still keep that old dictionary on my desk. It is no longer just a tool for learning words. It is a symbol of my growth. It reminds me to keep learning, keep thinking and never stop exploring the unknown world.
中文译文
小时候，我性格格外内向腼腆。我不爱和其他孩子玩耍，更喜欢独自看书。父母给我买了一本厚厚的词典，它就此成了我最好的伙伴。我常常花好几个小时查单词、记释义、学习单词的造句用法。我沉醉于它为我打开的全新知识天地。
在学校里，这本词典帮了我大忙。别的同学还在为课本生词发愁时，我总能轻松理解。我词汇量丰富、表达精准，常常得到老师的表扬。渐渐地，我在学习上变得愈发自信。但这本词典带给我最大的收获，并非成绩的提升，而是独立思考的能力。
从前，我总是依赖老师和父母分辨对错。但翻阅词典时我发现，每个单词都有多重含义、适配不同使用场景，语言没有绝对固定的答案。这让我明白，生活中的很多事情并非非黑即白，我们需要自主分析判断，而非盲从他人的观点。
时至今日，我依旧把这本旧词典摆在书桌前。它早已不只是学单词的工具，更是我成长的见证。它时刻提醒我，坚持学习、勤于思考，永远保持对未知世界的探索之心。
中等‑5【2025｜新高考II卷 七选五｜家庭志愿服务的多重价值｜说明文｜247词】
英文原文
Family volunteering is a wonderful way for families to bond and give back to the community. More and more families are choosing to take part in voluntary activities together, and this trend brings countless benefits to both children and parents.
Firstly, family volunteering strengthens family relationships. When family members work together to complete volunteer tasks, they have more chances to communicate and cooperate. Different from daily trivial conversations, they share feelings and solve problems side by side, which greatly shortens the distance between family members.
Secondly, it helps children develop good qualities. By participating in public welfare activities, children can learn to be grateful, responsible and caring. They will realize that many people in society need help, and small efforts can bring warmth to others. This experience cultivates their sense of social responsibility from an early age.
Finally, volunteering enriches family life. Instead of spending weekends on electronic devices or meaningless entertainment, families can spend their spare time on valuable public welfare work. It makes family life more meaningful and helps everyone stay away from lazy and indulgent lifestyles.
In short, family volunteering is a rewarding activity. It connects families with society, promotes personal growth and spreads positive social energy.
中文译文
家庭志愿服务是增进家人感情、回馈社区的绝佳方式。越来越多的家庭选择共同参与志愿活动，这一趋势给孩子和家长都带来了诸多益处。
首先，家庭志愿服务能够增进亲情。家人携手完成志愿任务时，会拥有更多交流与协作的机会。不同于日常琐碎的闲谈，大家并肩分享心情、解决问题，极大拉近了家人之间的距离。
其次，它助力孩子养成优良品格。参与公益活动的过程中，孩子能学会感恩、懂得担当、心怀善意。他们会明白社会上有很多需要帮助的人，微小的付出也能为他人送去温暖，从小培养社会责任感。
最后，志愿服务丰富了家庭生活。一家人不再把周末时光耗费在电子产品或无意义的娱乐上，而是将闲暇投入有价值的公益事业，让家庭生活更有意义，帮助每个人摒弃懒散放纵的生活方式。
总而言之，家庭志愿服务是一项极具意义的活动。它搭建起家庭与社会的桥梁，助力个人成长，传递社会正能量。
中等‑6【2026｜新高考I卷 阅读B｜求知欲优于分数，重新定义学习｜夹叙夹议文｜336词】
英文原文
For a long time, many students regard scores as the only standard to judge learning outcomes. They bury themselves in endless exercises and exams, trying to get high marks, but gradually lose their curiosity and desire to explore the world. However, true learning is never about pursuing perfect scores, but about keeping a strong thirst for knowledge.
Scores are just a temporary reflection of learning conditions. They can show your mastery of knowledge at a certain stage, but they cannot define your ability, potential and future development. Many students get anxious and frustrated because of low scores, giving up exploring new knowledge and limiting their own growth.
On the contrary, curiosity is the eternal driving force of learning. A student with strong curiosity will take the initiative to discover problems, ask questions and explore answers. They are willing to learn beyond textbooks, expand their horizons and enrich their minds. Even if they fail in exams occasionally, they will not be discouraged, because their love for learning never fades.
We should understand that the purpose of learning is not to get high scores for admission, but to acquire abilities, shape independent thinking and understand the world. Scores can be improved through hard work, but the desire for knowledge is the most precious treasure that accompanies us for a lifetime. Keeping curious and eager to learn will help us go further on the road of growth.
中文译文
长久以来，很多学生将分数作为评判学习成果的唯一标准。他们埋头于无尽的习题和考试，一心追求高分，却渐渐丧失了探索世界的好奇心与求知欲。但真正的学习，从来不是追求完美的分数，而是始终保持强烈的求知热忱。
分数只是学习状态的阶段性体现，只能反映你某一阶段的知识掌握情况，却无法定义你的能力、潜力与未来发展。很多学生因低分焦虑沮丧，放弃探索新知，桎梏了自身的成长。
相反，好奇心是学习永恒的驱动力。拥有强烈求知欲的学生，会主动发现问题、提出疑问、探寻答案。他们乐于跳出课本学习，拓宽眼界、丰盈思想。即便偶尔考试失利，也不会一蹶不振，因为他们对学习的热爱从未消减。
我们应当明白，学习的初衷不是考取高分、升学择校，而是习得能力、塑造独立思维、认知世界。分数可以通过努力提升，但求知欲是伴随我们一生的宝贵财富。保持好奇、坚持好学，方能让我们在成长路上行稳致远。
