2021 高考真题

C【2021·英语全国甲卷】

When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January

morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless

blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.

Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous

crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our

own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when

trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came

over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards

loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.

When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less

welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.

When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've

traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners

stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to

the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me.

He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years

ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”

“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”

9．What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?

B【2021·全国新高考 I卷】

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare 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.”

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.

B【东北三校（哈师大附中、东师大附中、辽宁省实验中学）2021 届高三第四次联合模拟】

I’m Reed, 26 years old and from New York City, but I moved to Florida several months ago. I found out on the

website that there was a huge rescue effort still going on down here and that volunteers were desperately needed. I

was able to get a good friend to sponsor my trip here and had the opportunity to come up for a couple of weeks

through the Christmas season,

When I first got here we were just moving into the new building. The first half of my stay I was mainly

helping to set this place up, help build a lot of the dug runs and just help out with whatever else was needed. The

second week I started to be able to get out more and started filling up feeding stations in St. Bernard Parish.

One day we were out trying to check out an extremely pregnant dog that was reported to be out in St. Bernard

Parish, which would soon have parts of it destroyed so getting as many animals out of there as possible was

definitely a priority (最重要的事). When we arrived at the location we did see a female dog that clearly had

already given birth to her puppies. I tied to befriend her as much as possible, giving her treats and slowly trying to

build her trust. She wasn’t going far, so that indicated her puppies were nearby.

Once we built somewhat of a rapport with her, we started to search for the puppies. Almost giving up, we

arrived at a house that seemed like it could be a possibility. I got on my hands and knees trying to make out what

was going on under the house, staying as quiet as possible. All of a sudden, I heard the weakest sound of a puppy’s

crying. After homing in on it a little bit more, there was clearly a trash under the house. After getting a little more

help, we were able to get the puppies from under the house with success and we found out they weren’t even a

week old.

This experience was so unbelievable, one I know I’ll never forget.

4．What did Reed do in the first week in Florida?

A．Feeding dogs in the streets.
