Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时16′)A[2016·四川高考]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 P1，they should live by the French law. However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored W1or 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 P2for almost ten years，” says Gin. “I've been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access W2to 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 unci v ilized W3life，”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 W4and even suicide W5.篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文，题材为社会生活类。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时16′)A[2017·宁夏石嘴山高三模拟]There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US. They're hard working, respectful but strange sometimes. If you don't understand the culture, you will get some problems with them. Asian people are different from any other cultures. If you think you know them, you might want to think again.How are they different? When it comes to most Asian culture, respect is everything. You can do anything you want but don't disrespect an Asian man. You will get some real consequences W1afterward and especially if he is your boss. It's something called “face_saving” in the Asian culture. It's ridiculous W2sometimes but it's their culture. Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work. Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal W3.Americans are very different from Asian people. If you're Asian, you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them. It will be easier for you since you're in their countries. Imagine an American working in China, expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes W4them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone. I think they will take him outside and take care of him. It just doesn't work that way with Asian people.If you're an American boss giving your Asian employee a review, you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks. They will think that you don't like them, disrespectful, and want to get rid of P1them; when in fact, you're just doing your job.
