How to Train Your Dragon by British author Cressida Cowell is one of the best pieces of children's literature. A child can make a whole alternative universe with a vivid imagination and Toothless, the hero's hunting dragon, thus turning a rainy day into an adventure of a lifetime. However, if you have never read the book but instead choose to see the film version, you might think you were seeing a new-age war movie meant for adults rather than children.

Let's look at Where the Wild Things Are for further discussion. The story centers around a lonely eight-year-old boy named Max, who sails away to an island. Creatures living there declare Max their king.

What an amazing piece of children's literature! A treasure for every child's library. Yet, children were crying in the movie theatre. Owls were falling from the sky, chicken's arms were being torn off, and a child was running around a dark abandoned world fighting evil as the only human. It was almost as if Hollywood could not imagine children enjoying a movie for its basic literature content. Hollywood might be right. But more and more its audience are complaining that there is an increased amount of violence in children's stories today than in the past.

While there appears to be a trend in our society to make more violence more accessible to younger children, books and literature are generally an exception. I truly believe that children's literature has become more vivid, and more colorful. This is a great treasure for the children, and is certainly not violent. What has changed the children's stories of today is not the writers, but the film industry. In some way, children's literature is just being strangely twisted（扭曲）. I wonder how much influence the authors have over this.

1.The text is mainly about ____.

A. two good books for children

B. how a book is adapted into a film

C. whether children should go to the movies

D. whether children's movie is getting more violent

2. It can be inferred that the film Where the Wild Things Are is ___.

A. moving B. frightening

C. interesting D. amazing

3.According to the text, the author thinks that ____.

A. the film industry's treatment of children's literature is wrong

B. writers should provide more colorful works for children

C. there is an increase in violence in children's literature

D. children should read books rather than see films

Once a man got on a bus for New York. He hid in toilet, because he did not want to pay. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, "There's a bum(流浪漢) in the toilet. Tell the bus driver." The message was passing from person to person. But anywhere along the way, it changed. The bus driver was told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came to, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. This soon caused a 15-miles-long traffic jam. Under the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no bomb!

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.

Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting（收縮）and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.

Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: “Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”

The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don’t see and guide whether we see fear.”

To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner（掃描儀）to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person’s feeling of fear.

“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.

“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”

1.What is the finding of the study?

A. Fear is a result of one’s relaxed heartbeat.

B. One’s heart affects how he feels fear.

C. Fear has something to do with one’s heart health.

D. One’s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.

2.The conclusion was drawn by analyzing .

A. volunteers’ heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures

B. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions

C. volunteers’ reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scans

D. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication

3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?

A. Order B. Treatment

C. Machine D. System

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中（A、B、C和D），選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

"Tear'em apart ! ""Kill the fool! Murder the referee（裁判）！”

These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events．At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough．But let's not kid ourselves．They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed． Volumes have been written about the way words affect us．It has been shown that words having certain connotation(涵義)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior．I see the term “opponent” as one of those words．Perhaps the time has come to delete（刪除） it from sports terrors．

The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent" is "enemy"; "one who opposes your interests．" Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy．At such times, winning may be the most important, and every action, no matter how rude, may be considered acceptable．I remember an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough．The player started to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted, "Are they wet enough now?"

In the heat of battle players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences(后果) that such a move might have on anyone in their way．I have also seen a player reacting to his opponent's intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately(故意地) hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the play．Off the court, they are good friends．Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which goes against normal behavior．

Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting worlD． Replacing the term "opponent" with "associate" could be an ideal way to start．

The dictionary meaning of the term "associate" is" colleague", "friend", "companion"．Think about it! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term "associate" rather than "opponent"．

1.Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view?

A． Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences．

B． The words people use can influence their behavior．

C． Unpleasant words in Sports are often used by foreign athletes．

D． Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field．

2.Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _______．

A． are too eager to win

B． are usually short-tempered and easily offended

C． cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition

D． treat their rivals(對(duì)手) as enemies

3.What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?

A． He refused to continue the game．

B． He angrily hit the referee with a ball．

C． He claimed that the referee was unfair．

D． He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt．

4.The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by _______．

A． calling on players to use clean language on the court

B． raising the referee's sense of responsibility

C． changing the attitude of players on the sports field

D． regulating the relationship between players and referees

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2016屆四川省高三12月月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

In her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超過(guò)……分?jǐn)?shù)) American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.

Those American High Schools lavish more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.

Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D. C. , which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws(暇疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”

One of the ironies (諷刺) of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible. American kids’ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.

1.Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _______.

A. there are striking differences between the 2 countries

B. Polish kids are better at learning

C. sports are not supported at schools in Gettysburg

D. he intends to improve his scores

2.According to Paragraph 2, we know that _______.

A. too much importance is placed on sports in America

B. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schools

C. American high schools complain about sports time

D. PISA plays a very important role in America

3.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _______.

A. American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lot

B. high expectations push up American students’ academic performance

C. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performance

D. lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance

4.The purpose of this article is to _______.

A. draw public attention to a weakness in American school tradition

B. call on American schools to learn from the Polish model

C. compare Polish schools with those in America

D. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions
