【答案】13.A14.B15.D16.C

【解析】本文屬于記敘文。本文講述作者自己的經(jīng)歷，起初搬到倫敦很不適應(yīng)，但是由于找到了玩滑板的

地方，結(jié)識(shí)J'玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的適應(yīng)了。作者回到倫敦之后，經(jīng)常去之前玩滑板的地方尋找自己

的回憶，在與一個(gè)玩滑板的孩子打招呼的時(shí)候，終于找到了自己久違的熟悉感。

13.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段"Everyoneinthefamilysettledquicklyintothecityexceptme.Withoutmybeloved

beachesandendlessblue-skydays,Ifeltatalossandoutofplace.（除了我之外的家里人都很快適應(yīng)這個(gè)城市，

沒(méi)有了我喜愛(ài)的沙灘和藍(lán)天，我感到迷茫和無(wú)措）“可知，作者剛到倫敦的時(shí)候因?yàn)闆](méi)有喜愛(ài)的沙灘，不能

很好的融入到新的城市，感到很沮喪，故選A。

14.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫(huà)線詞后文“Andthat'swhatmattered—landingtricks,beingagoodskater.（那才是真正

重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家）”可知，作者掌握J(rèn)'滑板落地技巧，因此他的朋

友大聲歡呼，因此可以推出本句的Safe是贊美的含義，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，故選B。

15.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“"1wasalocalhere20yearsago,"Itoldhim.Then,slowly,hebegantonodhis

head."Sa缸man.Safe."”（我告訴他：“我20年前經(jīng)常在這里玩滑板，''他緩慢地開(kāi)始向我點(diǎn)頭：“嗨，你好！"）”

可推知，作者去Southbank這個(gè)地方是為了尋找自己玩滑板的回憶，故選D。

16.推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文可知，作者起初搬到倫敦很不適應(yīng)，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，結(jié)識(shí)了玩

滑板的朋友，因此很好的適應(yīng)了。但是搬去華盛頓，因?yàn)闆](méi)有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友，幾年之后就不再

玩滑板，作者回到倫敦之后，經(jīng)常去之前玩滑板的地方尋找自己的回憶，在于一個(gè)孩子打招呼的時(shí)候，終

于找到了自己久違的回憶。通過(guò)作者的經(jīng)歷，作者要表達(dá)的是，歸屬感對(duì)于孩子是很重要的，故選C。

【答案】17.A18.C19.B20.D

【解析】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了為鋼琴演奏者做翻頁(yè)工作的RobertTitterton和他的工作情況。

17.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段"I'mnotatrainedmusician,butTvelearnttoreadmusicsoIcanhelpMariainher

performance4我不是受過(guò)訓(xùn)練的音樂(lè)家，但我學(xué)會(huì)了識(shí)譜，這樣我就可以在Maria的表演中幫助她）”可知，

Titterton因?yàn)樽R(shí)譜，所以可以在Maria的鋼琴表演中為她翻頁(yè)。故選A項(xiàng)。

18.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Alotofskillsareneededforthejob.Youhavetomakesureyoudon'ttumtwo

pagesatonceandmakesureyoufindtherepeatsinthemusicwhenyouhavetogobacktotherightspot.（這項(xiàng)工

作需要很多技能。你必須確保你不會(huì)一次翻兩頁(yè)并且必要的時(shí)候確保你回到前面找到音樂(lè)重復(fù)的部分）”可

知，為鋼琴家翻頁(yè)這項(xiàng)工作很需要技巧。由此推知，Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故選C項(xiàng)。

19.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Silentonstagecommunicationiskey,andeachpianisthastheirownstyleof

“nodding“toindicateapageturnwhichtheyneedtopractisewiththeirpageturner.（無(wú)聲的舞臺(tái)交流是關(guān)鍵，每

個(gè)鋼琴家都有自己的"點(diǎn)頭”風(fēng)格來(lái)表示翻頁(yè)，他們需要和翻頁(yè)者進(jìn)行練習(xí)）”可知，Tilterton需要和鋼琴演奏

者練習(xí)識(shí)別他們的“點(diǎn)頭”示意來(lái)翻頁(yè)。故選B項(xiàng)。

20.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段"He'sinterestedinthemusic,feelingeverynote,andIhavetosay:"Turn,

turn!）（他對(duì)音樂(lè)很感興趣，感受著每一個(gè)音符,所以我不得不說(shuō)：”翻頁(yè),翻頁(yè)!可知,MsRaspopova

的丈夫因?yàn)閷?duì)音樂(lè)感興趣，所以幫她翻頁(yè)的時(shí)候總是沉浸在音樂(lè)中而忘掉自己的工作，她不得不去提醒。

故選D項(xiàng)。
