四川省蓬溪县2016高考英语阅读理解及书面表达练习（13）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Houses fall down. Trees fall over. Large holes form in the ground. Could Alaska be sinking? That’s what some villagers in Alaska have been asking themselves recently and scientists think they know why. Warmer temperatures may be causing Alaska’s frozen ground to thaw (解冻).
About 85 percent of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost (永久冻结带). Permafrost supports the ground above it—including trees, houses, and roads. But why is the permafrost thawing?
Some scientists say that human-caused pollution is leading to global warming. And most scientists agree that Alaska has been getting warmer. They say that the warmer temperature is causing permafrost to thaw in some areas. The thawing permafrost can cause problems for people, plants, and animals.
The collapsing (倒塌)is a problem in the villages in Alaska which are built on permafrost, and some of them may have to move to safer ground, where there is no permafrost.
The Alaskan town of Glennallen saw its old post office collapse. And, according to James Walters, a permafrost expert at the University of Northern Iowa, house-moving companies have been very busy.
“Melting permafrost can also destroy trees and forests,”Walters said. “When holes in the ground form, trees fall into them and die. This could turn a forest into a swamp (沼泽), and animals which need the forests will have to move elsewhere.”
“The melting could cause severe problems.”Walters says, “This could take hundreds of years, but in the end Alaska will look quite different from what it looks like now.”

A. Alaska—A Frozen Land
B. Is Alaska Sinking?

3. The following are the results of melting permafrost EXCEPT ______.
A. holes form in the ground
B. a forest will be turned into a swamp

(2011年广州高三英语调研测试)Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination.Melina Davis,an education professor,said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them.“This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.
The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children,but experts say those words help improve childrens reading skills and challenge them.
Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story.“The book talks about what all children go through,like ‘I was naughty but my mommy still loves me’,” Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears.“I think its really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” Davis said.“Kids can find out monsters arent always the thing under the bed thats going to scare them.I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”
Since the book has been successful throughout the years,a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it.Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children.“You dont want bad dreams over a book thats extremely wonderful,” Davis said.

Dear editor,
As the recent survey shows, the health of senior students has been going worse and worse. I think it is worrying because health is far more important than wealth. Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in our future career.
As we all know, we are what we eat, however, bad eating habits are very common among us students. All these bad habits surely do harm to our health. What’s more, some students lack exercise because of too much homework to do.
To improve our health, it is very important for us to take more fruits and vegetables and we have to keep a balanced diet. Besides, we’d better exercise every day to make our bodies strong. Finally, we have to get rid of those bad habits that damage our health.
In conclusion, if we stick to the advice given above, we’ll lead a healthy life.

Dear Zhang Hua，
I’m happy to have received your letter. Now I’m writing to express my thanks for your care and tell you something about my study and life.
Since entering Senior Three, a great change has taken place to me. First of all, I’m studying much harder than ever with the purpose of preparing myself for the College Entrance Examination. Besides, so many tests do we face every day that I feel extremely stressful, even lose sleep sometimes at night. What’s more, occupied with my study, I can’t afford any time to take up my hobbies, let alone, playing computer games as before.
However, I have decided that I will try to adjust myself to Senior Three. While studying, I will make wise use of my time. By keeping a balance between study and rest, the learning efficiency, I believe, can be improved and my dream will come true.
Best wishes!
