18、亚那地区的热带雨林深处居住着一群土著居民。他们虽然是法国公民，却按照自己的方式生活。一位摄影家的照片使这群土著居民进入公众视野，也使他们逐渐受到现代的法国生活方式的影响。4A细节理解题。由题干中的feel surprised定位到第一段中的信息“Surprisingly，these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs”，由此可知让作者吃惊的是，这些土著人在很大程度上按照他们自己的法律和社会风俗生活，尽管他们实际上是法国公民，却不遵守法国法律(the French law is often igno
19、red)，故选A项“他们很少遵守法国法律”。5D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“show the audience a photographic record”以及第五段中的“blackandwhite pictures”可推知，Gin是一名摄影师，他通过拍摄的照片让观众了解这群土著居民，故选D项“一名摄影师”。6D推理判断题。通读第三段可知，Gin对这群土著居民有特殊的爱，他们之间有深厚的友谊。Gin认为这是一块自由的土地。由这些描述可知Gin欣赏这群土著居民的生活方式，故选D项appreciative(欣赏的)。A项cautious “谨慎的”，B项doubtful“怀疑的”，C项uninte
