5 . The word "OK" is the most frequently spoken all-purpose expression on the planet—and it's turning 176 years old on March 23,2015.The term was born during a 19th-century abbreviation（缩写）craze and went on to international fame with its own hand gesture.

Last year,Henry Nass,a 64-year-old retired English teacher,a New Yorker had spent the last few weeks handing out cards championing "Global OK Day" in advance of the coming anniversary.

"No matter where people are from they use the word 'OK,'but they don't know where it comes from,"says Nass. "The problem is because it's just,you know,OK."

The word is OK,perhaps,but its history is definitely better than average.Late etymologist Allen Walker Read traced the two-letter word to 1839,when editors at the Boston Morning Post signed off on articles as “all correct” with a simple word "OK".

The word made it into print on March 23 of that year,during an article against a rival editor in Providence who had stated wrongly that a band of Bostonians heading to New York would pass through the Rhode Island capital.

"We said not a word about our team passing 'through the city' of Providence,"the Morning Post reported."O.K.—all correct."

The humor of the Providence-Boston joke has been lost to history—but the word OK took off from there,soon connoting（隐含）agreement,acceptance,averageness,quality or likability.

By 1840,it served as a slogan for President Martin Van Buren's unsuccessful reelection campaign."Old Kinderhook is OK,"posters stated,a reference to the eighth president's birthplace and his supporters’ belief in his satisfactory performance.

1. Why did Henry Nass hand out cards?

A．To let people understand the history of the word "OK".

B．To call on people to use the word "OK" properly.

C．To appeal to people to celebrate OK Day.

D．To attract people's attention.

2. What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 4?

B．The history of the word "OK" is unfamiliar to people.

C．People frequently use the word "OK" in history.

D．People are fond of the word "OK" in history.

3. What does the underlined phrase "took off 'in Paragraph 7 probably mean?

A．Got off	B．Set up
C．Moved off	D．Become popular

4. We can learn from the text that Kinderhook is       of the eighth American president.

A．the name	B．the birthplace

7 . 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 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.

1. 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 Cuianese   law.

C．They are separated   the modern world.

D．They are both Cuianese and French citizens.

2. Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guiana     as       .

A．a tour guide	B．a geographer
C．a film director	D．a photographer

3. What is Gin's attitude towards the lives of indigenous Guianese?

A．Cautious.	B．Doubtful.
C．Uninterested	D．Apprecitive.

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

A．The modera Frrnch       lifestyle.	B．The self-supporting hunting.
C．The uncivilized world.	D．The French Republic.
