VIII、阅读理解（本大题共20小题，共40分）
A
I left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China.Learning a foreign language opens you up to the culture and history of a country.So in order to know more about China,I started to learn Chinese.
But at times,I found myself in funny situations.When I greeted strangers in China,they began to talk a lot and very fast.They asked me questions about everything.But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face.I had no idea what they were talking about.Were they just been kind,funny or impolite？Many people want to make friends with me,but I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign friend.They say they want to practice their English.I don't need friends like this.I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.
However,the more Chinese I learn,the more similarities I find it has with English.In English "thick-skinned" is to describe a person who doesn't care for criticism （批评）.I was surprised to find that "houlianpi" in Chinese means the same.And both languages share some common idioms （习语）.For example, "look on with folded arms" means "xiushoupangguan"，and "burn the boats" is similar to "pofuchenzhou".
I'm still on my journey to learn Chinese.I believe that sometimes you have the most fun on the journey.
56.The writer comes from ______ .
A. the UK B. the USA C. Australia D. Canada
57.The underlined word "similarities" means " ______ " in Chinese.

"Get the children and come on." So they went driving down the country roads.There,on a small hill,they saw a lot of beautiful purple lilacs.The young woman ran quickly to enjoy the flowers.Carefully,she picked a few here and a few there.On their way home there was a smile on her face.When they were passing a nursing home,the young woman saw an old granny sitting in a chair.She had no children with her.They stopped the car and the young woman walked to the old woman,put the flowers in her hands,and smiled at her.The old granny thanked her again and again.She smiled happily,too.When the young mother came back to her car,her children asked her, " Who is that old granny？Why did you give our flowers to her？" "I don't know her," their mother said. " But it's Mother's Day,and she has no children.I have all of you,and I still have my mother.Just think how much those flowers meant to her."

The fog was thick. As we walked deep into the forest, it was difficult to know where we were going and when we would get out. Our hearts were full of fear, but we had to keep going. The forest seemed to be endless. We were lost in the middle of a dark black forest with nothing to drink or eat.
I felt hard to breathe. My knees went weak and it seemed that I was falling down. As a result, I fainted.
I finally woke up when Emily hit me in the face. Both Emily and Mike gave me a worried look. They helped me sit up against the tree. The three of us kept silent. Suddenly we heard the wolves（狼） growl far away. It was hard to tell who was more scared. The looks on my friends' faces made me feel very scared. Which was the right way out？
We sat there for two more minutes and then moved on. Suddenly, a wolf appeared in front of us. It gave us a quick look and ran away. We felt so scared that we had to move on without a rest. To our excitement, there was an old house in the opposite direction. When we reached the house, smoke was rising from the chimney（烟囱）. There must be someone in the house. We knocked, but no one answered. We knocked again, and then we heard someone walking towards the door. A kind young woman opened the door and let us in. How lucky we were!

How GPS Weakens Memory and What We Can Do about It
Using mobile phones to navigate（导航）has become second nature.Whether you're heading to a new park or meeting friends at a restaurant，you just enter the address on your phone and go.Without GPS，exploring（探索）and wayfinding in new places required preparation.We had to think，check paper maps，and plan and memorize ways there.But today there is no need to think.Simply follow the turn-by-turn directions on your phone，and you'll end up where you need to be.However，your overall sense of the place suffers.Spatial（空间的）navigation used to be a process performed by the human brain and perceptual system，but now people technology.
There are areas of the brain that deal with these difficult pathfinding tasks.In particular，the hippocampus is related to spatial memory，spatial navigation and mental（在脑中的）mapping.Studies show that we can exercise the hippocampus memory through exploration and spatial navigation.For example，expert navigators like London taxi drivers have larger hippocampi compared to other people.
However，when we follow a set of turn-by-turn directions，GPS navigation apps treat us as passive passengers rather than active explorers.In turn，this stops us from being able to create proper mental maps，and has an effect on the hippocampus，which is very important for brain health.
While improvements in technology clearly have many benefits，we must remain mindful that technology can influence the brain.Our question is：Can we find a way to still use GPS but reduce the harmful effects on memory？
The challenge is to create other forms of GPS navigation that will remain easy enough for the general public，and at the same time，enable people to improve their spatial sense.Our research finds that properly designed audio beacons（音频信标）offer a much more active form of GPS navigation.For example，with an audio beacon at a hospital，when we are two miles away from the hospital，we can hear a sound through our phone.In recent experiments，we discover that this type of sensory navigation through audio beacons does better than turn-by-turn navigation in the creation of mental maps.We believe these results，at least in part，come from people taking a more active role in their navigation.
GPS navigation using audio beacons offers a good example that helps humans connect more deeply with reality；perhaps instead of turning into mindless robots，we will be able to become more deeply involved with humanity，our local environment，and life itself.
65.GPS weakens people's memory because it ______ .
A. records the places people have been to
B. offers people more than one way to a place
C. takes the place of thinking process in wayfinding
D. fails to teach people how to prepare for exploring
66.The words " " in Paragraph 1 probably means ______ .
A. have compared it to B. have given it up to
C. have learned it from D. have taken it away from
67.London taxi drivers are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show that ______ .
A. GPS is not widely used in London
B. the hippocampus memory can be exercised
C. hard-working drivers have larger hippocampi
D. active explorers are better than passive passengers
68.What can we learn from the passage？ ______
A. Turn-by-turn GPS navigation helps create mental maps.
B. Audio beacons technology will be replaced in the future.
C. Users' active role should be considered in navigation technology.
D. GPS navigation apps have come a long way in helping with our memory.

How do you deal with plastic bags from the supermarket Throw them away or reuse them How about eating them
EnviGreen in India has made a bag with natural ingredients(成分). It looks and feels just like plastic, but can be broken down. The bags bring no harm to the environment. Both humans and animals can safely eat them. EnviGreen's founder Ashwath Hedge spent four years trying out such a thing of 12 natural ingredients. It includes potatoes, vegetable oil and bananas. He made the ingredients into liquid(液体) and used the liquid to make the bag.
Although the EnviGreen bags are much more expensive than those usual plastic bags, they are good for our environment. Usually, it takes 1,000 years for usual plastic bags to break down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in about 15 seconds in boiling water. Maybe the EnviGreen bag could be a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.

How to get on well with classmates
My name is Li Hua, a 15-year-old middle school student. As for getting on well with classmates, I think it is really important to every student. One of the main reasons is that no one can live alone in the world. Besides, if you get on well with others, you will feel happier and your school life will be more colorful. However, how to get on well with others is really a problem puzzling most of us. In my opinion, the most important is to respect, you should respect other people like respect yourself, or they won't respect you. Toleration is necessary, sometimes other people may hurt you inadvertently, don't be mad, just forgive them. In addition, if you can help other people with pleasure and show your consideration for them, everybody will like to be with you. Remember the point—treat everyone as you want to be treated.
