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（殖民地) 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 with it not only necessary state welfare， but also alcoholism， betrayal and even suicide。

语篇导读
这是一篇社会类文章.本文介绍了有关法属圭亚那土著人的生活方面的内容.
25.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 Guianese law。

C.They are separated from the modern world。

D.They are both Guianese and French citizens。

解析：A 细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“Surprisingly，these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs”“In theory,they should live by the French law”可知，作者感到惊讶的是法属圭亚那的土著人有自己的法律和社会风俗，他们很少遵守法国的法律。

所以A项正确.
26。

Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guianese as_______ 。

A。

a tour guide
B。

a geographer
C。

a film director
D。

a photographer
解析：D 细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段中的“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life"及最后一段中的“His black and white pictures present a world almost lost in time.These pictures show…”可知,Gin是以一名摄影师的身份介绍圭亚那的。

所以D项正确.
27。

What is Gin's attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?
A.Cautious。

B。

Doubtful。

C。

Uninterested。

D。

Appreciative.
解析：D 观点态度题。

由第三段中的“I have a special love for the French
Guianese people"“I don’t see it as a lawless land.But rather I see it as an area of freedom”可知，Gin很欣赏圭亚那土著人的生活方式.所以D项正确.
28.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。

解析:A 代词指代题。

根据最后一段的“These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self—supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism， betrayal and even suicide。

”可知，it指代的是上文的“the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic”。

所以A项正确。

Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good： the iPad。

Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e mail。

Instead of paddling an small boat， I followed my Twitter feed (推特简讯）.Instead of reading great novels，I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning。

I was behaving as if I were still in the office.My body was on vacation but my head wasn't.
So this year I made up my mind to try something different； withdrawal （退出) from the Internet。

I knew it wouldn't be easy，since I’m bad at self-control.But I was determined。

I started by giving the iPad to my wife.
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past，making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration (沮丧）。

I was trapped，forced to go through with my plan。

Largely cutting off from e—mail，Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites，I had few ways to connect to the world except for radio—and how much radio can one listen to， really？I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books。

This experience has had a happy ending。

With determination and the strong support of my wife，I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet，realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad， that was the problem。

I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi—Fi.“Don’t need it，” I said。

However， as we return to post—vacation life， a harder test begins: Can I continue when I'm back at work？
There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great。

And I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely。

But I hope to resist the temptation （诱惑) to check my e mail every five minutes，which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two。

I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive.Here I hope this one worked。

语篇导读
假期中，“我”认识到了使用网络对自己的影响，于是决定将iPad交给妻子，以抵制网络的诱惑。

29.What do we know about the author's last summer vacation？
A.He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.
B.His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.
C.He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.
D。

He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacatoin.
解析：D 细节理解题。

根据第一段的最后“I was behaving as if I were still in the office。

My body was on vacation，but my head wasn't"可知，作者对假期不满意，认为自己就像仍在办公室工作一样，虽然身体在度假,但是精神却没有度假，故D项正确.
30.What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year？
A.He handed his iPad to his wife.
B.He cut off his cellphone signal。

C。

He refused to cheat in his house。

D。

He listened to the radio most of the time.
解析：A 细节理解题。

根据第二段的最后一句可知,为了抵制网络的诱惑，作者将iPad 交给了妻子,故A项正确。

31。

When back at work， the author will probably choose to________。

A。

stay away from the Internet for ever
B。

continue to read more and more books
C。

keep control of when and how to use the Internet
D。

stop checking what is being said right now completely
解析:C 推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段中的“I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely.But I hope to resist the temptation(诱惑） to check my e mail every five minutes”
可推知，作者并没有打算彻底放弃使用网络，但是他将努力抵制网络的诱惑。

据此可以判断,作者将在上班后控制上网的时间和方式，故C项正确。

32。

What is the author's opinion of a great vacation in the passage？
A.A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day。

B.A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overrated。

C。

A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wished to.
D。

A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.
解析：D 细节理解题.根据最后一段的第一句可知，作者认为,假期意味重启大脑,让自己更具有创造性，故D项正确.
A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first—rate photo —journalism—if they had been made last week.In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916， most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival。

Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water， in the damaged wooden ship。

The ship was the Endurance， a small， tight， Norwegian—built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists，27 men in all，to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇）across the continent。

The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain
Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back。

As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well researched story The Endurance，adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort。

Scott’s last journey，completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination，and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton，a onetime British merchant—navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic，was hired to make the images，most of which have never before been published。

语篇导读
本文是一篇记叙文。

一本新的影集把一次不成功的南极洲的旅行带回到现实生活中，由此引出了历史上去南极洲探险的事迹。

33.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley？
A.They were made last week。

B.They showed undersea sceneries。

C.They were found by a cameraman.
D.They recorded a disastrous adventure。

解析：D 细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck（海难）"可知，这些照片记录了一次灾难性的冒险，故选D项。

34.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?
A.Frank Hurley。

B.Ernest Shackleton。

C.Robert Falcon Scott.
D.Caroline Alexander。

解析：C 细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled（雪橇)across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done…in 1912”可知Captain Robert Falcon Scott是第一个到达南极的人.故选C项。

35。

What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage？
A。

Artistic creation。

B.Scientific research。

C。

Money making。

D。

Treasure hunting.
解析：C 细节理解题。

根据最后一段的“adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort”和“started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography"可知，Alexander认为1914年旅行的目的是赚钱。

故选C项。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

There are certain steps you can take to relieve the damage done by some of the previously mentioned reading problems。

36 Be sure to use and practice them
as you read.
Take breaks.
Remember tiredness can lead to all of the health problems and to other problems as well.If you do not rest your mind，you will likely get tired and it will cost you points.
37
You can mark your place either by pointing to each word as you read it, or by placing a sheet of paper underneath the line you are reading。

Pointing to each word with a pencil or your finger helps your eyes see where they should be reading。

Placing a piece of paper under the line helps you to move smoothly from one line to the next。

Read aloud.
38 If you must remain silent， whisper the words to yourself， or mouth the words, and say them in your head。

It is important that you actually hear the sounds，even if you only hear them in your imagination。

This multisensory approach allows you to see, hear, and feel what you are reading。

Reading aloud should help you stay focused，understand better and remember what you are reading.
39
If you are thinking about what is important enough to write down， you will pay more attention to the reading。

40 It will also help you process the main point of the passage and improve the possibility that you will remember things.In addition， the notes you take are a record of the passage that you can refer back
to if you do forget elements。

A.Take notes.
B。

Highlight next.
C.Trace your place。

D。

This will keep your mind from wandering。

E.Notes about the entire passage should be written。

F.Just knowing about these techniques is not enough.
G。

If you’re in your own room， you can say each word aloud。

语篇导读
本文为说明文,针对阅读常见问题，作者在文中提出了四点建议.
36.F 解析：结合空前的“certain steps you can take to…”和空后的“Be sure to use and practice them”可知，仅知道技巧还不够,需将这些技巧付诸实践，故选F。

37.C 解析：由空后的“mark your place either by pointing to each word…or by placing a sheet of paper…”可知此段主要讲述的是追踪阅读过程，故选C.
38.G 解析:由本段小标题“Read aloud”以及空后的“If you must remain silent"可知,G项“如果你在自己的房间里，你可以放声阅读”符合语境。

39.A 解析：由空后的“write down"“the notes”可知，本段主要讲的是做笔记，故选A。

40。

D解析：由空后的“It will also…”可知，空处讲的是做笔记的好处，故D项符合语境。
