Whether you plan to travel to España sometime soon, or just want to take a virtual vacation, here are some of Barcelona and Madrid’s most intriguing spiritual spots.
La Sagrada Familia
No trip to Barcelona is complete without gazing at Antoni Gaudí’s crowning achievement: La Sagrada Familia. The church is expected to be completed in 2026, exactly 100 years after the architect’s death.
Once finished, it will be the tallest church in Europe at 566 feet, slightly shorter than the nearby mountain of
Montjuïc, as Gaudi believed no man-made structure should be greater than God’s creation.
Clergy-baked Treats
At Monasterio Del Corpus Christi in Madrid, ring a bell labeled “monjas” and you can place your order for cookies baked by cloistered nuns（隐居的修女）. Leave payment on a turntable and a box of sweets will appear as if by magic.

Holy Toledo!
About half an hour outside of Madrid is the ancient city of Toledo, known as the “City of Three Cultures,” because of its historical significance to the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths.
Toledo’s old town is set on a hill. The winding, uphill, cobblestone streets—lined with shops selling swords and
knives—will transport you to medieval times.
Barri Gòtic
Perhaps Barcelona’s most mysterious section is its Gothic Quarter, Barri Gòtic. Simply getting lost in its winding streets is worth exploring, with hidden shops, artwork of saints, and lovely lampposts at every turn. On Carrer del Bisbe, you’ll find one of Barri Gòtic’s most photographed sites—Bishop’s Bridge. Under the passageway is a skull and dagger design that has many legends attached to it.
21. What do we know about La Sagrada Familia?
A. It is the tallest church in Europe. B. It is a still-in-progress wonder.
C. It is a church in memory of God. D. It is located in mountain of Montjuïc.
22. What is special about Monasterio Del Corpus Christi in Madrid?
A. Baking cookies with cloistered nuns.
B. Tasting sweets created by special members.
C. Being famous for its unique religious beliefs.
D. Experiencing the atmosphere of medieval times.
23. Where should visitors go if they are keen on adventure?
A. Mountain of Montjuïc. B. Monasterio Del Corpus Christi in Madrid.
C. The ancient city of Toledo. D. Gothic Quarter, Barri Gòtic.

As a child growing up in a suburban town in the Northeast of the United States, the arrival of spring had little meaning for me. Sure, we had a weeklong spring vocation from school, but the key word there was vacation, not spring.
For the kids in my neighborhood, the arrival of spring was a non-event. There were two important seasons: winter,
when we could go skating and sledding or build snow forts, and summer, when we could finally make proper use of the
beach about 100 meter east of my family home. Spring and autumn were just technical details, weeks and weeks of waiting for the good times' return.
Admittedly, spring later developed its own attractions for me —"In the spring a young man's fancy turns to
thoughts of love", as the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson noted—however, it was not spring itself, but the other stuff bat got my attention.
In short, I never thought much at all about spring…. and then I arrived in China. I had been in Beijing for about
three months when my first Spring Festival rolled around, and it could hardly be ignored. Aside from the random bursts of fireworks at any time day or night, what stood out most for me was that the capital seemed to be empty.
It was as though the crowds and streams of cars and trucks commonly seen in the capital had all gone into hiding.
My puzzlement cleared up when I returned to work. My colleagues explained that Chinese traditionally travel, if necessary, to visit their families during Spring Festival, and that many Beijingers were not natives of the capital.
I also got my first knowledge of something about Spring Festival that never ceases to amaze me. Regardless of
when the holiday is set to begin, there is an almost immediate and sudden change for the better in the weather. Spring really does arrive.
I can't begin to figure out how the ancient Chinese could create a system that would almost always accurately predict when the season would shift year after year after year. But they did.
24. What did the author think of spring as a child?
A. It was a season full of promise. B. It was always beyond his imagination.
C. It was a tiring and long holiday. D. It hardly left a good impression on him.
25. What impressed the author most about Beijing during the Spring Festival?
A. The busy traffic. B. The unexpected quietness.
C. Beijingers’ love for travel. D. Occasional bursts of fireworks.
26. How does the author feel about the system created by ancient Chinese?
A. Adorable. B. Confused. C. Wonderful. D. Convenient.
27. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Spring Festival in Beijing will make one feel quite lonely.
B. The author spent his first Spring Festival at a colleague’s home.
C. In China Spring Festival always indicates the coming of Spring.
D. The author still worked during the Spring Festival while in Beijing.
C
You’ve just finished a hard run. Your legs are heavy and sore, heart pounding, clothes sticking to your sweaty back. And you're smiling, because you feel totally at peace with the world. This is the runner's high — the strange excitement
that sets in after a long bout of aerobic（有氧的） exercise.
The most obvious way to get a runner's high is to start running, particularly long-distance running. It may take several miles for the effects to kick in, though it's difficult to quantify（量化） exactly when, where and for how long a runner's high will occur. And not every runner — or every run — will be able to produce a runner's high. This variability has led some snarky Twitter users to conclude that the runner's high is, in fact, a myth, despite the physiological changes associated with it.
Other aerobic activities, including biking, swimming and strenuous hiking, can trigger the same response without
necessarily forcing you to pound the pavement.
Interestingly, humans aren't the only animals that have exhibited signs of runner's high. Several experiments have observed a similar phenomenon in mice. Raichlen's lab has also tested dogs and ferrets（雪貂）by sticking them on a treadmill（跑步机）and looking for exercise-induced excitement, according to research published in the Journal of Experimental Biology. After 30 minutes of running, the dogs appeared at-ease; blood tests revealed elevated levels of endocannabinoids in their systems. "We didn't see that in the ferrets," Raichlen said.
One major benefit to achieving a runner’s high is that it makes exercise more enjoyable. By extension, this makes
people more likely to stick to an exercise routine, which is a key component of long-term heart health, according to the American Heart Association. There is also good evidence that, over the long term, exercise can help reduce anxiety and stress. So go ahead and lace up your shoes. You’re free to chase that runner’s high as far as it takes you.
28. According to the text, what is the direct result when “runner’s high” is reached?
A. Fewer diseases. B. Being positive. C. Higher speed. D. Feeling anxious.
29. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 3?
A. Break down. B. Relate to. C. Set off. D. Add to.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Runner’s high appears in some animals.
2023年江西省九所重点中学高二联合考试英语试卷 第 2 页 共 4 页
B. Runner’s high surely brings lots of benefits.
C. Another example with runner’s high is found.
D. Different animals have different runner’s high.
31. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Running is highly recommended by the author.
B. Most of us are running to achieve runner’s high.
C. If you are running, runner’s high is sure to happen.
D. Runner’s high appears whenever you feel at peace.

Conservation scientist Kim Williams-Guillén was trying her best to come up with a way to save endangered sea turtles (海龟）from egg thieves when she had an "aha" moment: If she placed a fake (假）egg containing a GPS tracker in the reptiles’ nests, she might be able to track the thieves.
Williams-Guillén found a pliable plastic material to mimic（仿造）the shell of real eggs. She and colleagues then
used a 3D printer to produce the fakes of the same size, weight, and texture and put the smallest GPS tracking devices inside each. The researchers then went to four Costa Rican beaches, where green sea turtle come ashore to make their nests. As mothers laid their eggs under cover of night, the researchers slipped a fake egg into each nest. Once the fakes are covered in sand and mix with the real eggs, it’s very difficult to tell the difference between the two.
Of the 101 fake eggs, 25 were taken by thieves. The farthest moving egg traveled 137 kilometers inland. The fake
egg sent its final signal the next day from a residential property, suggesting that the research team had tracked the eggs through "all of the players in the entire chain."
By understanding that chain, Williams-Guillén says researchers can identify trading hot spots. She emphasizes that
the tracker is not a way to catch local thieves, many of them living in poverty, but a tool to better understand their routes, which could help them - and eventually law enforcement - identify larger players in the chain.
In the meantime, Williams-Guillén and her colleagues are working to get their fake eggs to other sea turtle
conservation organizations. Ultimately, though, scientists and nonprofits are going to engage communities with local outreach and education programs to save sea turtles. She says, “The real meat and potatoes of conservation isn’t going to come from deploying（布署）eggs. ”
32. What can be learnt from paragraph 2?
A. Fake eggs are made and employed. B. Sea turtles have become endangered.
C. Sea turtles lay eggs during the daytime. D. The idea of fake eggs came into being.
33. Why did researchers track the turtle eggs?
A. To confirm whether the fake eggs really work.
B. To provide data for doing research on turtle eggs.
C. To arrest the locals stealing the turtle eggs from the beach.
D. To identify the trading routes and get the big players punished.
34. What does Williams-Guillén mean by saying “The real meat and potatoes of conservation isn’t going to come from deploying eggs” in the last paragraph?
A. Deploying eggs needs advocating further.
B. Turtle conservation mainly relies on joint efforts.
C. She feels disappointed with the local communities.
D. Deploying eggs makes no difference in preserving turtles.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. Saving endangered sea turtles is urgent.
B. Endangered turtles can be traced with GPS.
C. GPS eggs helps to save endangered sea turtles.
D. A conservation scientist is devoted to protecting sea turtles.

The bird must have only just been hatched(孵化) when I spot it. Its mother had disappeared, leaving it alone and shivering in the face of the north wind. I decided to take it straight back and build it a new home.
I hung an empty flowerpot(花盆) and it was in this pot that the bird was to have its new home. When Dad got
home, he immediately discovered the new addition to our family. Without saying a word, he turned around and left the house. After some time, he returned and I saw that he had a handful of grass and pine needles. Obviously, Dad thought the nest I had made was far too rough and so he had decided to decorate it himself.
"A bird born at this time of year won’t survive the winter. "In spite of this prediction on the bird's future, Dad
very carefully fashioned the nest himself. Soon I found "Nuo Nuo"(Dad had named him) had started to grow feathers.
Dad probably realized that he had been a little cruel in his prediction. You see, he had already started training Nuo
Nuo to walk. As you know, Nuo Nuo lived in a flowerpot, not a cage or anything. It was obvious that Nuo Nuo didn't realize he was a bird. He perhaps thinks he was one of the family. But it is not enough for a bird to walk, it must fly as well. Dad soon began attempting to make him learn this new ability, but it was not an easy task. After all, nobody in our family had mastered the art of flying. We didn’t even have wings. How could we ask Nuo Nuo to do something that we had no means of doing ourselves?
注意∶
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The flying lessons went on regardless. ____________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________
Gradually, this “stupid” action of Dad's did actually have an effect. ____________________________________
