dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries, people decorate churches and town
halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.

Reading Task
Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes they can
change over time.With the development of modern society and the
spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may
be established. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival
custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and
celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exiting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins.
Reading
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses taking
advantage of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media
apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their
loved ones. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised,others
believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.
Festivals are an important part of society. They reflect people's wishes, beliefs, faiths, and attitudes towards life. They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while. They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to appreciate. And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.

四、阅读理解
People love to celebrate. Whether it's a birthday or a wedding, we enjoy having a reason to relax and have a good time. This is especially true for festivals that welcome spring and summer. Here are some celebrations you may not know about.
Carabao is a buffalo(水牛) found in the Philippines, and the Carabao Festival is a day of dancing and revelry(狂欢)in May that celebrates the strong animal that plays such an important role in Philippine farming economy. The animals are cleaned before a parade in which 20 or more of them—many decorated with paint and colorful ribbons—walked through the streets.
Cooper's Hill is a steep, grassy knoll(圆丘) near Gloucester, England, which is longer than a football field. Cooper's Hill is a late May event in which participants race one another to beat a nine-pound cheese round to the bottom of the hill. The event attracts lots of contestants but is harder than it sounds. Lots of contestants bite the dust before they reach the finish line. The winner gets the cheese.
The Boryeong Mud Festival takes place each summer near Seoul, Republic of Korea. Tons of mud are trucked from the Boryeong mud flats to a beach area near the event. People participate in lots of activities, including a mud pool, mud skiing and mudslides. By the time the celebration is over, anyone coated in soft or dried mud can take a short walk to the beach for a quick bath.
La Tomatina is an organized tomato fight that takes place in Bunol, Spain, every August. The festival's origins are unclear, but that hasn't lessened anyone's enthusiasm. The battle lasts for about an hour, and participants have to throw squashed(挤烂的) tomatoes to reduce the risk of injury. After the fight, both the people and the streets are covered with tomato guts. Fire trucks then begin the difficult task of washing everything.

一、根据汉语意思填写单词
1. [知识点] decorate 动名词作宾语动名词的一般式: doing
[答案] decorating
[详解]考查非谓语动词。句意: Mary一直忙于布置她新租的公寓。根据汉语提示“装饰，布置”，以及固定短语be busy (in) doing sth.意为忙于做某事”，可知此空应用其动名词形式做宾语。故填decorating。
2.[知识点] feature 一般现在时语法一致
[答案] feature
[详解]考查动词。句意:那家酒店有两个以冰雕为特色的艺术画廊和一个冰电影院。定语从句中缺少动词作谓语，主句谓语has表明用一般现在时， 根据汉语提示“以.......为特色”可知是及物动词feature,主语galleries是复数,故填feature。
3.[知识点] belief 名词作宾语
[答案] belief
[详解]考查名词。句意:医生相信被污染的空气导致了这种疾病的传播。空格处用名词作宾语,“信念”是belief, hold the belief that...意为"持有......的观点”，因此空格处是belief。故填belief。
4.[答案]featured
