“A serious attack on the fantasy story for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened,” writes C.S. Lewis in an essay named Three Ways of Writing for Children. Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. Firstly, they mean that we mustn’t do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death, violence (暴力), wounds, good and evil (邪恶). C.S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.
He goes on to comment, “Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel (残酷的) enemies, let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage. By limiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alarming ever happens, they would fail to face fears and hardships.” “It would be nice,” he continues, “if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound. But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright champion in armor, is a better comfort than the idea of the police.”
Bruno Bettelheim, a well-known child psychologist, also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil. He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.
A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life. It’s believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality. It’s what good literature does — it makes life larger.

四、书面表达(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 阅读表达 (共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1] Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that cellphones, power lines and WiFi could be responsible for a range of illnesses.
[2] Camilla Rees, an investment banker in the US, moved out of her apartment. She said that when her neighbors moved in and installed a WiFi router (路由器) she lost her ability to think clearly. Since then, she’s been on a movement against low-level electromagnetic fields (电磁场), or EMFs. And she’s not alone. Millions of people say they suffer from headaches and depression when they’re too close to cellphones or other sources of EMFs. If these fears are justified (有正当理由的), then perhaps we should all be worried about the amount of time we spend talking on our phones or plugging into WiFi hotpots.
[3] Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia(白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors (肿瘤). But others believe _________________. Dr Martha Linet at the US National Cancer Institute has reached a different conclusion. “We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger,” said Linet.
[4] Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs and illness — so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation (调查) of cellphones and brain cancer has been underway for several years. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.
[5] According to Robert Park, a professor of physics, the magnetic waves(电磁波)aren’t nearly powerful enough to break apart DNA, which is how known threats, such as UV rays and X-rays, cause cancer.
56. List three sources of EMFs based on the text. (no more than 5 words)
① ________________ ② ________________ ③ ________________
57. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 8 words)

We should all pay more attention to the time we spend using sellphones or WiFi if there is scientific evidence to support these anxieties.
___________________________________________________________
60. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 into Chinese.

One possible version:
Jack is a good student who loves reading very much. Whenever he has difficulty, he will take out a book and try to find solutions in it.
One day, Jack read an article about the benefits of fishing and he wanted to have a try. He opened a book and found the saying that “fish cannot live without water”. So he decided to find where there is enough water. Near his house, there is a deep well. “What a wonderful place for fishing!” said Jack and he carried his fishing rod to the well. He waited for a long time but caught nothing.
The picture reminds us that gaining knowledge from books is essential, but understanding knowledge is even more important. Different situations require us to understand and use the knowledge gained from books differently.
