In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of　　 (土著的）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 effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin　 spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote comers of thin 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. 1 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 Und. But rather I Me 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 moderm French Republic,which bring with it not only necessary state welfare,but also alcoholism,

betrayal and even suicide.

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

A. They seldom　 follow the French law.

B. They often ignore the Cuianese　 law.

C. They are separated　 the modem world.

D. They are both Cuianese and French citizens.

2.Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guiana　　 as　　 　　 .

A. a tour guide　　 B. a geographer

C. a film director　　 D. a photographer

3.What is Gin's attitude towards the lives of indigenous Guianese?

A. Cautious.　　 B. Doubtful.

C. Uninterested　　 D. Apprecitive.

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

A. The modera Frrnch　　 lifestyle.　　 B. The self-supporting hunting.

The relations between man and wife are changing．A majority of working women remain in full charge of their home; they come back at night to the cleaning, washing, and cooking that constitute their second career．But more and more husbands are sharing the burden and willingly taking on chores that their fathers would rejected as unmanly, and as too mysteriously difficult anyway．In such cases, man and wife become equal partners, both working outside, both pushing the vacuum cleaner．Actually, the number of husbands who do help that way is much smaller than the number of those who accept the idea in theory．And when the equal partnership is a fact, it doesn’t always work well．The marriage can be destroyed when the wife is more successful in her profession than her husband in his, particularly when she earns more than he does．Sociologists see in this situation one of the main reasons for the increase in the divorce rate—another reason being the husband’s refusal to help with the housework or the care of the children．A third reason could be the growing awareness of the professional woman that she doesn’t have to remain married if she is too unhappy.

1.What is the housework like in the traditional husband’s eyes?

A．It’s a mysterious job.                           B．It’s a little difficult

A．When man and wife share the housework, man can’t do it well.

Chinese archeologists were therefore surprised in the 1990s to find the remains of an ancient fortification (筑城) in Liqian，a remote town in Yongchang county on the edge of a desert area，which was strikingly similar to Roman defense structures.

They were even more astonished to find West­ern­looking people with green，deep­set eyes，long hooked noses and blond hair.

Though the villagers said they had　 never traveled outside the county，they worshipped bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans' bull­fighting dance.

DNA tests in 2005 confirmed some of the villagers were indeed of Caucasian origin，leading many experts to conclude they are descendants of an ancient Roman army headed by general Marcus Crassus.

“The‘foreign’origin of the Yongchang villagers，as proven by the DNA tests，does not necessarily mean they are of ancient Roman origin.”

Xie Xiaodong，a geneticist from Lanzhou University，also sounded a skeptical note.

“Even if they are descendants of Romans，it doesn't mean they are necessarily from that Roman army，” Xie said.

Their mysterious identity has brought wealth and fame to some of the villagers.

Cai Junnian has yellow wavy hair，a hooked nose and green eyes.A DNA test in 2005 confirmed he is of 56 percent European origin.It made him famous almost overnight.

Reporters，filmmakers，historians and geneticists from around the world pursued him.A Beijing film producer will spend millions to turn the villagers' story into a film.

Lanzhou University's new research body，set up this week by Chinese and Italian anthropologists，is a platform for experts to further research the subject but the research work will certainly be complicated.

The center will help Chinese learn Italian language and culture，he said.“More exchanges will certainly be helpful in unraveling the mystery.”

1.Scientists take DNA tests in order to ________.

A. explain why villagers have the Western­looking

B. explain why ancient Roman army disappeared

C. explain why villagers are infected with AIDS

D. explain why villagers married at an early age

2.Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Romans like bull­fighting dance.

B. The villagers are of ancient Roman origin.

C. The research work will be very complicated.

D. Cai Junnian's European origin makes him famous overnight.

3.What's the meaning of the underlined word“unraveling” in the last paragraph?

A. Keeping.　　 B. Discovering.

C. Storing.　　 D. Destroying.

4.Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?

A. Chinese Villagers Descended from Roman Soldiers

B. Unforgettable and Fierce Ancient Roman War

C. Similarities Between Chinese and Western People

D. An Introduction to Roman Defense Structures

DO THANH, Vietnam-The last remains of the 39 Vietnamese who died while being carried illegally in a truck to England last month were sent back to their home country on Saturday. Photos by the official Vietnam News Agency showed the arrival at the Hanoi airport of 16 bodies and seven urns (骨灰盒), which had been flown from London. They were loaded into ambulances on a foggy morning for a trip to their hometowns in several provinces in northern and central Vietnam.

The bodies were found Oct 23 in the English town of Grays, east of London. Police said the victims were aged between 15 and 44. While no cause of death has been officially confirmed, the circumstances suggested asphyxiation (窒息). The 31 men and eight women are believed to have paid human traffickers (人贩子) for their entering England secretly. Several people have been arrested in the UK and Vietnam.

Shortly after noon on Saturday, the body of one victim, 19-year-old Bui Thi Nhung, arrived at Phu Tang church in the village of Do Thanh. More than 100 villagers and family members waited for the body’s arrival at a highway leading to the village. They held white flowers, standing by the side of the road as the ambulance carrying the body passed. After 15 minutes at the church, the mourners moved to Nhung’s home nearby. One of Nhung’s nieces held her portrait to lead the procession.

Nhung’s coffin was placed in the middle of the living room of the one-story house, with the family weeping by the sides. Relatives and neighbors came into the home to place incense (香). A funeral will be held for Nhung at her home on Sunday, followed by a ceremony at the church before she was buried.

An initial (最初的) group of 16 bodies were handed over to their families on Wednesday, and funerals were held the following day.

The impoverished villages the victims were born in have largely been left out of the economic development that has turned urban centers in Vietnam such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi into boom (繁荣) towns, sending many on a risky journey looking for a better life abroad.

1.How did the 39 Vietnamese lose their lives?

A.They died in a terrible traffic accident.

B.They lost their lives due to lack of food.

C.They were killed by the human traffickers.

D.There has been no definite answer up to now.

2.What do we know about Bui Thi Nhung?

A.Her coffin was placed in a two-storey house.

B.She is a teenager girl coming from a village.

C.Her brother held her portrait to lead the procession.

D.She will be buried without a ceremony at the church.

3.What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “impoverished” in the last paragraph?

A.Poor. B.Modern.

C.Attractive. D.Dirty.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the news report?

A.39 Vietnamese bodies found Oct 23 in Grays

B.Vietnam receives last of 39 remains of Victims

C.39 Vietnamese are carried illegally in a truck to England

D.Several paople arrested related to 39 Vietnamese dead bodies
