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. Ive been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I dont 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.4.

Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more peoplelive 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 birthratesB. a decrease in death ratesC. the industrial developmentD. human beings cultural advances13. 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 workB. old people were given the task of passing on the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generationsC. the survival of babies was less important than that of their parents in times of starvationD. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life14. 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 authors attitude toward most of the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals?A. Critical.B. Approving.C. Optimistic.D. Sympathetic.【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章分析了人口增长的真正原因及美国的老年人问题。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第 1 段最后一句 it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion “导致人口爆炸的是死亡率的下降，而不是出生率的上升”可推知，作者认为人口爆炸的原因是死亡率的下降。故此题答案为B。【13题详解】推断判断题。根据文章第 2 段第 4 句 infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if the parents survived they could have another child“婴儿可能会被允许死亡，因为如果他们的父母挨饿，他们就无法生存，而如果父母幸存下来，他们就可以再生一个孩子”可推知，在狩猎和采集文化中，婴儿的生存不如他们的父母在饥饿时期的生存重要。故此题答案为C。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第 2 段倒数第 2 句In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty “在美国，许多退休人员靠微薄的社会保障金生活，他们必须生活在贫困的边缘”可推知，他们中的许多人靠社会保障金生活，这远远不够。故此题答案为 D。【15题详解】推断判断题。根据文章最后一句 most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel “它们中的大多数只不过是为垂死之人提供的“垃圾场”，在那里，“护理”是由报酬低、工作过度和缺乏技能的人员提供的”可推知，作者对大多数养老院和疗养院持“批评的”态度。故此题答案为A。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。If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily.

My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life._19_ We have done a lot of it since.
