Do you want to go to Spain to experience its festivals in spring？If you do，here are some that are worth experiencing.
15—19 March：Las Fallas Festival，Valencia
Huge cardboard，wood，and plaster statues are made into the shape of traditional figures or even modern cultural figures like Shrek and former American President Obama.The creations are on display all over the city before being burnt in one of the many bonfires，which takes place among much partying.
23 April：Saint George Festival，Barcelona
Sant Jordi，or St George，is the patron saint of Catalonia(as well as England and about 10 other countries and regions)．But St George's Day in Barcelona is also the city's version of Valentine's Day when romance sweeps the city.The tradition is for the man to give his lady a rose in return for a book.
30 April to 7 May：Feria de Abril de Sevilla，Seville
Spring Fair，the Feria，is a joyful festival with masses of food，drink，music and dancing.To the west of the city a huge area is given over to creating a small“town”of tents for drinking，eating and socialising.Most of the tents are private and by invitation only，but there are seven public ones.
Mid­May：Fiesta de San Isidro，Madrid
It's Madrid's largest festival.Music and dancing are everywhere with Latin rhythms happening at concerts all over the city.The festival starts with a grand procession of giants，followed by an opening speech in the Plaza Mayor.Over the next few days，entertainment takes over the city's public spaces.

B．American President displays his statues.
C．It is held to burn things for good luck.
D．People only party at home with bonfires.
A　[细节理解题。根据15—19 March：Las Fallas Festival，Valencia标题下的“The creations are on display all over the city before being burnt in one of the many bonfires，which takes place among much partying.”可知，在法雅节上那些用纸板、木头等制作的雕像会在聚会的篝火中被烧掉。故选A项。]
2．What do men do on St George's Day?
A．Give their girls a book as a gift.
B．Join a grand procession of giants.
C．Express their love for their lovers.
D．Pray to St George for a happy marriage.

3．When should you go if you want to try different foods and drinks at a festival in Spain?
A．On 23 April.
B．On 15 March.

B
A young painter had just completed a beautiful painting.To get people's opinions about his painting skills，he put his painting at a crossing on a busy street and put up a board that read，“Gentlemen，I have painted this piece.Since I'm new，I might have made some mistakes in my work.Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake.”
When he came back in the evening，he was completely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses.He ran to his master and said to him，“I'm useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint，I'm not worth teaching.”
The master smiled and said，“I'll let you know that you are a great artist.Now go to paint the same painting again and give it to me.”
Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the same painting exactly at the same place.Now the master took out another board which read，“Gentlemen，I have painted this piece.I might have made some mistakes in my painting.I have put a box with colours and brushes just below.If you see a mistake，pick up the brush and correct it.”Two days later，they came back to the place.The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction.
It's easier to criticise but difficult to improve.If you want to help people improve their behaviour，you'd better learn how to help people change their behaviour，attitudes and skills.Also，always remember not to judge yourself by someone else's criticism(批评)，because you are the best judge to judge yourself.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。一位年轻的画家针对自己的同一幅画两次征求人们的意见，却得到了两种截然不同的反馈。这个故事告诉我们一个道理：如果想要帮助别人改善他们的行为，要能给出具体的改进意见，而不是仅仅作出简单的好与坏的评价。
4．Why did the young painter put his painting on a busy street?
A．To let others know he was skilful.
B．To make money by selling his painting.
C．To get others' ideas about his painting skills.
D．To let his teacher know he was a good student.
C　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“To get people's opinions about his painting skills，he put his painting at a crossing on a busy street”可知，这位画家把作品展示于熙熙攘攘的十字路口，是为了征求大家对他绘画技巧的看法和意见，故选C项。]
5．How might the young painter feel when he saw the crosses on the painting?
A．Proud.　　　　　 B．Excited.
C．Sad. D．Moved.
C　[推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I'm useless...I'm not worth teaching.”可知，这位年轻的画家很受挫，感到很沮丧，故选C项。]
6．How did the master help his student know he was a great painter?
A．By teaching the student more painting skills.
B．By asking people not to put any crosses on the painting.
C．By painting a different painting himself and putting it on the street.
D．By putting up a board with different words beside the same painting.
D　[细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I have put a box with colours and brushes just below.If you see a mistake，pick up the brush and correct it.”可知，大师在同一幅画旁边的板子上写了不同的话，结果作品上没有任何改动，大师通过这种方法让年轻的画家明白应该正确看待别人的评价，故选D项。]
7．What is the best title for the text?
A．Be Proud of Yourself
B．Learn to Help Rather Than Judge Others
C．Don't Judge Other People
D．Never Give Others Crosses
B　[标题归纳题。根据最后一段中的“If you want to help people improve their behaviour，you'd better learn how to help people change their behaviour，attitudes and skills.”可知，本文告诉我们一个道理：如果你想要帮助人们改善他们的行为，你最好学习如何帮助人们改变他们的行为、态度和技能，而不是仅仅作出评判。所以最佳标题是“学会帮助别人，而不是评判别人”，故选B项。]
C
(2020·全国卷Ⅰ)Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50­kilometer race walk，which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact(接触) with the ground at all times.It's this strange from that makes race walking such an attractive activity，however，says Jaclyn Norberg，an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem，Mass.
Like running，race walking is physically demanding，she says.According to most calculations，race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour，which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking，although fewer than running，which would probably burn about 1，000 or more calories per hour.
However，race walking does not pound the body as much as running does，Dr.Norberg says.According to her research，runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step，while race walkers，who do not leave the ground，create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips，so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique，she says.It takes some practice.
【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了竞走这项运动的相关情况及其与跑步的不同之处。
8．Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A．They must run long distances.
B．They are qualified for the marathon.
C．They have to follow special rules.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
C　[推理判断题。由题干中的关键词conditioned athletes可将解题信息定位至第二段，根据该段中的“But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times.”可知，竞走运动的规则要求竞走者的膝关节在腿摆动时的大部分时间里伸直，同时一只脚保持与地面接触。据此可知，竞走者必须遵循一些特殊的运动规则，故C项正确。]
9．What advantage does race walking have over running?
A．It's more popular at the Olympics.
B．It's less challenging physically.
C．It's more effective in body building.
D．It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
D　[细节理解题。根据第五段中的“some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers”可知，一些与跑步有关的损伤，如跑步者的膝盖(受伤)，在竞走者中并不常见。据此可知，竞走不太可能导致膝盖受伤，故D项正确。]
10．What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A．Getting experts' opinions.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Doing regular exercises.
A　[细节理解题。根据第五段中的“anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique” 可知，Norberg博士建议任何希望尝试竞走的人或许应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走者，以学习正确的技巧，故A项正确。]
11．Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?
A．Skeptical. B．Objective.
C．Tolerant. D．Conservative.
B　[观点态度题。根据全文内容可知，作者提到了竞走这项运动的好处，同时也指出它的一些危害，态度是客观的，故B项正确。]
D
(2021·山东泰安一中高二期中)One of the greatest sources of unhappiness，in my experience，is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don't like，we wish it could be different.We cry out for something better.That may be human nature，or perhaps it's something ingrained(根深蒂固的)in our culture.The root of unhappiness isn't necessarily that we want things to be different.However，it's that we decided we didn't like it in the first place.We've judged it as bad，rather than saying，“It's not bad or good，and it just is it.”
In one of my books，I said，“You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned.”Some readers said it's too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.However，it's only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad.Instead，you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to whatever you do：how other people act at work，how politics work and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are，and try to understand why they're that way.It will save you a lot of sadness，because you'll no longer say，“Oh，I wish bad things didn't happen！”
Does it mean you can never change things？Not at all.But you change things not because you can't accept things as they are，but because you enjoy the process of changing，learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place？You can say that you'll continue to try to do things to help others，to grow as a person，to make a difference in this world.That's the correct path you choose to take，because you enjoy that path.Therefore，when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference，try a different approach：accept，and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文，文章论述的是接受事物本来的样子能让我们的生活更快乐、更美好。
12．The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because________．
A．it is our natural emotion in the life
B．culture asks us to be different from others
C．everyone has their own opinions on things
D．we dislike something in the beginning
D　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The root of unhappiness isn't necessarily that we want things to be different.However，it's that we decided we didn't like it in the first place.”可知，作者认为，我们感到不快乐可能是因为我们一开始就不喜欢某样东西。故选D项。]
13．What does the underlined word“It”in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Acting well at work and in politics.
B．Feeling depressed about the news media.
C．Accepting and understanding what has happened.
D．Saying something negative when bad things come.
C　[词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Accept these things as they are，and try to understand why they're that way.”可知，It指的是接受这些事情的本来面目，试着去理解它们为什么会这样。也就是“接受并理解发生了什么”。故选C项。]
14．What are you advised to do according to the last paragraph?
A．Help others and make a difference.
B．Enjoy what you have to do in the work.
C．Judge yourself and make a wish for yourself.
D．Try a new way when making the world better.
D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference，try a different approach：accept，and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.”可知，最后一段建议我们尝试一种新的方式，即接受与理解，这能让世界变得更美好。故选D项。]
15．What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Expecting things to be different gives us hope.
B．Accepting can make our life happier and better.
C．Traditional culture becomes the root of unhappiness.
D．Judging good or bad is important for our world.
B　[主旨大意题。文章开头提出人们不快乐的根源是不愿意接受事物本来的样子，然后进一步分析说明，最后建议人们为了快乐就要学会接受、理解。由此可知，B选项内容能体现文章中心。]

When people are addicted to a thing，such as a drug or alcohol，they're not able to control the use of that thing. 16 They may want to give up，but find it very difficult to do so without help.
When body levels of that thing go below a certain level，the patient has physical and mental problems. 17 There is also suddenly increased appetite(食欲)．Addiction continues despite health problem awareness.They continue taking the thing regularly even though they have developed illnesses linked to it.For example，a smoker may continue smoking even after a heart condition develops.
Some activities are given up because of an addiction to something. 18 An alcoholic may turn down an invitation to go camping or spend a day out on a boat if no alcohol is available.
19 As the addiction progresses they may stop doing things they used to enjoy a lot.This may even be the case with smokers who find they cannot physically deal with taking part in their favourite sport.
20 This may be either because the thing affects judgement and they take risks they would not take if they were sober (清醒的)or because in order to get hold of the thing，they break the law.
A．They will drop hobbies.
B．They may take risks driving faster.
C．Lack of money leads them to do so.

E．They continue taking it，even though it may cause harm.

G．A smoker may decide not to meet up with friends in a smoke­free pub or restaurant.
【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了人们对某一事物上瘾时的表现。上瘾意味着人们无法控制自己使用某一事物。即使想要戒掉，也会发现若没有外力帮助则很难做到。长此以往，上瘾者的身体和精神就会出现问题。
16．E　[根据下句“They may want to give up，but find it very difficult to do so without help.”可知，他们可能想戒掉，但却发现没有帮助很难做到这一点。E项They continue taking it，even though it may cause harm.(他们继续沉迷于此，尽管它可能会造成伤害。)与设空处下一句构成语意上的衔接，符合语境。故选E项。]
17．F　[根据上句“When body levels of that thing go below a certain level，the patient has physical and mental problems.”可知，当体内的上瘾物质的量低于某一水平时，患者就会出现身体和精神方面的问题。F项There're bursts of anger，poor concentration，and a feeling of being sad and empty.(会出现暴怒、注意力不集中、悲伤和空虚的感觉。)举例说明上一句的内容。故选F项。]
18．G　[根据上句“Some activities are given up because of an addiction to something.”可知，对某样东西上瘾可能会迫使人们放弃参加一些活动。G项A smoker may decide not to meet up with friends in a smoke­free pub or restaurant.(一个吸烟者可能决定不去禁烟的酒吧或者餐馆与朋友见面。)举例说明上一句，且与下一句构成并列关系。故选G项。]
19．A　[根据下句“As the addiction progresses they may stop doing things they used to enjoy a lot.”可知，随着上瘾程度的加深，他们可能会停止做他们过去非常喜欢做的事情。A项They will drop hobbies.(他们会舍弃爱好。)符合语境。故选A项。]
20．D　[根据后文可知，他们可能会因为上瘾而做一些违法的事。D项They'll have problems with the law.(他们在守法方面会有问题。)符合语境。故选D项。]

As a general rule，all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常规)basis.As a matter of fact，we can see this 21 at work in people of all ages.For example，on Christmas morning，children are excited about 22 with their new toys.But their 23 soon wears off and by January those same toys can be found put away in the basement.The world is full of 24 stamp albums and unfinished models，each standing as a monument to someone's passing interest.When parents bring home a pet，their child 25 bathes it and brushes its fur.Within a short time，however，the 26 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents.Adolescents enter high school with great 27 but are soon looking forward to 28 ．The same is true of the young adults going to college.And then，how many people，who now complain(抱怨)about the long drives to work， 29 drove for hours at a time when they first 30 their driver's licenses(执照)？Before people retire，they usually 31 to do a lot of 32 things，which they never had time to do while working.But 33 after retirement，the golfing，the fishing，the reading and all of the other pastimes become as boring as the jobs they 34 .

23．A.confidence B．interest

24．A.well­organized B．colorfully­printed
C．newly­collected D．half­filled
D　[下面的unfinished models(没有完成的模型)是重要提示，与unfinished并列的应是half­filled，意为“完成一半的”。well­organized排列好的；colorfully­printed绘成彩色的；newly collected最新收集的。]

28．A.graduation B．independence

29．A.carefully B．eagerly
C．nervously D．bravely
B　[根据后面的“when they first________their driver's licenses”可以推知，人们最初拿到驾照的时候是很“渴望”开车的，故此处要用eagerly。]

B　[成人“获得”驾照，因此要用obtain。require要求；notice注意到；discover发现。]
31．A.need B．learn
C．start D．plan
D　[退休前他们通常打算(plan)做很多事情。]

33．A.only B．well
C．even D．soon
D　[soon after意为“不久”，也就是在他们退休后不久，所以此处要用soon。]
34．A.lost B．chose
C．left D．quit
C　[根据前面的after retirement可知他们退休了，而他们退休前打算要做的那些事情也正如他们离开的工作一样无聊，所以此处要用left。]
35．A.pets B．toys

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
According to a review of evidence in a medical journal，runners live three years 36.________(long) than non­runners.You don't have to run fast or for long 37.________(see)the benefit.You may drink，smoke，be overweight and still reduce your risk of 38.________(die)early by running.
While running regularly can't make you live forever，the review says it 39.________(be)more effective at lengthening life 40.________walking，cycling or swimming. Two of the authors of the review also made a study published in 2014 41.________showed a mere five to ten minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all 42.________(cause)．
The best exercise is one that you enjoy and will do.But otherwise...it's probably running.To avoid knee pain，you can run on soft surfaces，do exercises to 43.________ (strength)your leg muscles(肌肉)，avoid hills and get good running shoes.Running is cheap，easy and it's always 44.________ (energy)．If you are time poor，you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits as other sports，so perhaps we should all give 45.________a try.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了跑步的益处，号召我们尝试一下这种运动方式。
36．longer　[考查副词的比较级。句中的than是比较级的标志，故填long的比较级longer。]

38．dying　[考查非谓语动词。介词of后接动词时要用其动名词形式。]
39．is　[考查时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知这里用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用is。]
40．than　[考查介词。根据句中的比较级more effective可知，这里是把running与walking，cycling，swimming进行比较，故填than。]
41．that/which　[考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，所填词引导定语从句，修饰指物的a study，且在从句中作主语，故填关系代词that或which。]
42．causes　[考查名词复数。cause表示“原因，起因”时是可数名词，前面有all，故填cause的复数形式。]
43．strengthen　[考查词性转换。此处不定式短语作目的状语，故填strength的动词形式strengthen。]
44．energetic　[考查词性转换。连系动词is后接形容词作表语，故填energy的形容词形式energetic。]

I hope these suggestions above can be helpful.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
(2021·浙江浙南名校联盟期中)Happy，angry，amazed—these are some of the emotions we like to express these days when we're sending messages on our smart phones！That's why many of us now add little pictures to our texts to brighten up someone's mobile screen and we're also using them as a quick way of telling someone how we're feeling.Yes，emojis have become a vital tool for communication.
The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word“emoji”comes from the Japanese words for“picture”and“character”．The number of different images has dramatically increased since then and now we have pictures for every mood or situation.
So now we have the option to give this new creation the visual “thumbs­up”but have you thought about why we've become so addicted to using emojis？Professor Vyvyan Evans has written a book called The Emoji Code.He says，“Increasingly，what we're finding is that digital communication is taking over from certain aspects of face­to­face interaction.One of the reasons why emojis are so interesting is that they really do enable us to express our emotional selves much more effectively.”So emojis are a sort of replacement for the visual signals or non­verbal clues we normally give when we speak to someone face­to­face.
Another advantage of emojis is that they are an international language—they don't use words but tell a message in the form of pictures so they can be easily understood whatever your native language is.However，the emojis you send need some thought as they can sometimes be misunderstood—if a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer，you may think he is angry when actually he is saying he has hurt himself or he is clumsy!
Emojis are a good way of showing common emotions.But as linguist Neil Cohn says，“To many，emojis are an exciting development of the way we communicate；to others，they are extinction of language.”

Emojis have become important in communication.(要点1)Since the creation in Japan in the late 1990s，their number has risen so sharply that now each emotion has a corresponding emoji.(要点2)They replace non­verbal languages in face­to­face communication due to their efficiency in conveying feelings while emojis can also cause misunderstandings.(要点3)They add color to communication，but they may indicate the weakening of traditional writing.(要点4)
