　　In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest,there still remain unusual groups of indigenous people.Surprisingly,these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs.And yet,people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony of the French Republic since 1946.In theory,they should live by the French law.However,their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown,thus making them into an interesting area of“lawlessness”in the world.

　　The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the efforts of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin.Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area,which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest,with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital,Cayenne.

　　“I have a special love for the French Guianese people.I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,”says Gin.“I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them.Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment.I don’t see it as a lawless land.But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”

　　“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,”continues Gin.“I prefer to work in black and white,which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”

　　His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time.These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for.These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic,which brings withitnot only necessary state welfare,but also alcoholism,betrayal and even suicide.

24.Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?

A.They seldom follow the French law.

B.They rarely ignore the Guianese law.

C.They are separated from the modern world.

D.They are both Guianese and French citizens.

25.Gin introduces the special world of the indigenous Guianese as　　　.

A.a tour guide      B.a scientist

C.a film director  D.a photographer

26.What is Gin’s attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?

A.Indifferent.   B.Doubtful.

C.Uninterested.  D.Appreciative.

27.What does the underlined word“it”in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The modern French lifestyle.

B.The French Republic.

C.The uncivilized world.

D.The self-supporting hunting.

C

In many cultures white is often associated with something positive. A white-collar job, for instance, is the kind of job many people look for, working with your brain and not your hands.

　　White has a clean and pure image. That is why doctors, dentists, and nurses usually wear white uniforms. Babies are dressed in white at baptisms and brides wear white wedding gowns at weddings. White in these cases is the symbol of innocence or purity.

　　Sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good. “Whitewash” is one such expression. At first, “whitewash” meant to paint over something with white paint to make it look better. However, it means something different today: to hide or to cover up mistakes or failures.

　　A “white elephant” is another example of white used in a negative way. In ancient Thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a sacred animal, but it was very expensive to keep. The kings of those days presented a white elephant to the people they wanted to ruin. Once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it. Today, a “white elephant” means something that is big, useless, and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of their furniture or clothes, they often have a “white elephant sale”.

28. The text is mainly about _______ .

A. the meanings of white in many cultures

B. some useful English words and expressions

C. some interesting customs in many cultures

D. the history of some English idioms

29. Which expression has a historical background?

A. White elephant sale. 　　　　B. White-collar.

C. White elephant.     D.Whitewash. 

30. In which statement does “white” have a negative meaning?

A. A man is dressed in white at a baptism.

B. A bridegroom wears a white wedding gown.

C. A man whitewashes his crime.

D. A girl finds a white-collar job.

31. The author develops the text mainly by _______ .

A. analyzing its cause

B. providing typical examples

C. comparing different ideas

D. following the time order

D

When John was growing up,other kids felt sorry for him.His parents always had him weeding the garden,carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers.But when John reached adulthood,he was better off than his childhood playmates.He had more job satisfaction,a better marriage and was healthier.Most of all,he was happier.Far happier.

These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston.The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not.“Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,”said George Vaillant,the psychologist who made the discovery.“And because they felt good about themselves,others felt good about them.”

Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail.Interviews were repeated at ages 25,31 and 47.Under Vaillant,the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores.Points were awarded for part-time jobs,housework,effort in school,and ability to deal with problems.

The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp.Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people,five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed.The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.

Working—at any age—is important.Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings of emotional health.They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals.The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.Yet work isn’t everything.As Tolstoy once said,“One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love,to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”

32.What do we know about John?

A.He enjoyed his career and marriage.

B.He had a few childhood playmates.

C.He received a little love from his family.

D.He was envied by others in his childhood.

33.Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as　　　　　.

A.an analysis of how work was related to competence

B.a description of personal values and social values

C.an example for parents’expectations of their children

D.an explanation why some boys grew into happy men

34.Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by　　　　　.

A.evaluating the men’s mental health

B.recording the boys’effort in school

C.comparing different sets of scores

D.measuring the men’s problem solving ability

35.What does the underlined word“sharp”probably mean in Paragraph 4?

A.Slow to react.

B.Having a thick edge.

C.Clear and definite.

D.Sudden and rapid.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Eliza had been brought up by her mistress, from girlhood, as a petted and indulged favorite.

The traveller in the south must often have remarked that peculiar air of refinement, that softness of voice and manner, which seems in many cases to be a particular gift to the quadroon and mulatto women. These natural graces in the quadroon are often united with beauty of the most dazzling kind, and in almost every case with a personal appearance prepossessing and agreeable. Eliza, such as we have described her, is not a fancy sketch, but taken from remembrance, as we saw her, years ago, in Kentucky. Safe under the protecting care of her mistress, Eliza had reached maturity without those temptations which make beauty so fatal an inheritance to a slave. She had been married to a bright and talented young mulatto man, who was a slave on a neighboring estate, and bore the name of George Harris.

This young man had been hired out by his master to work in a bagging factory, where his adroitness and ingenuity caused him to be considered the first hand in the place. He had invented a machine for the cleaning of the hemp, which, considering the education and circumstances of the inventor, displayed quite as much mechanical genius as Whitney's cotton-gin.
