In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of

indigenous(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 corners 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. 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 moderm

French Republic,which bring with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal

and even suicide.

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.

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

A. The modern French lifestyle. B. The self-supporting hunting.

C. The uncivilized world. D. The French Republic.

Helsinki is offering young people the chance to rent a cheap apartment in an old people’s

home,if they agree to spend time socialising with the elderly residents.

The city council( 议会 ) is seeking applications from renters under the age of 25 who will

commit to spending between three and five hours each week with their older neighbours,at a care

home in the eastern Laajasalo district.In exchange,they’ll get a studio flat measuring 23 square

meters with a private kitchen,bathroom and balcony for 250 euros per month.

Currently only three flats are available,but the scheme( 方案) is part of a wider effort to deal

with a lack of accommodation for young people in the capital.Ordinarily a studio flat costs about 600

euros a month,depending on the area,one local university advises.

Those who apply don’t need any specific care experience.“There are staff to look after the

elderly,”project manager Miki Mielonen tells Yle.“We are looking for young people who maybe

have a different perspective on everyday life,who will bring variety and recreation to the elderly

residents.”

More than 60 people have applied for the spaces in less than a week,and the idea has also been

widely recognized by Finns on social media.“Great project,hopefully it will spread to other

areas,”writes one person on the Internet,while another applauds the scheme for bringing different

generations together.

But some wish it was open to more people,with one user saying:“It’s a shame the flats are so

small.It would have been nice if the elderly had a small family with children or a single parent as

their neighbour.”And one person has a different opinion about the cut-off age,writing:“Shame I’m

too old for this—I would have surely applied.”

8. One can probably get the cheap apartment if he 　　　.

A. reaches the age of 25 B. has financial problems

C. promises to accompany the elderly D. agrees to share it

9. Why is the new rent scheme accepted?

A. It can benefit both young and old. B. It doesn’t need any professional training.

C. The flats are well-equipped. D. Big apartments are in short supply.

10. What does the underlined sentence suggest?

A.He doesn’t want to grow up. B. He has a chance to apply again.

C. He disapproves of the age limit. D. He applies for the flat without hesitation.

11. What would be the best title of the text?

A. Young Finns offered cheap flats at care home B. New apartments designed for the elderly

C. A new approach to caring for the old D. A good chance for the needy families

Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today

would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people

live longer, there are more people around than at any other given time. In fact, it is a decrease in

death rates instead of an increase in birthrates that has led to the population explosion.

Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are

disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In

hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In

times of food shortage, babies might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents

starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most present societies,

people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great

many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also

have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save

money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired

people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older

people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or

government insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.

When older people become too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create serious

problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at

home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often

no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing

homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations,

although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these

institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which “care” is

given by poorly-paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.

12. The author believes that the population explosion results from______.

A. an increase in birthrates B. a decrease in death rates

C. the industrial development D. human beings’ cultural advances

13. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures ______.

A. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not

work

B. old people were given the task of passing on the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new

generations

C. the survival of babies was less important than that of their parents in times of starvation

D. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life

14. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the United

States is True?

A. When they reach a certain age, they retire and benefit from retirement.

B. A minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.

C. With the rising prices, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever.

D. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.

15. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward most of the nursing homes and

convalescent hospitals?

A. Critical. B. Approving. C. Optimistic. D. Sympathetic.
