问题     Eskimos live in the northern (北部的) part of North America, from Alaska to Greenland. In that area, winter is nine months long. There is snow and ice everywhere. Not long ago the Eskimo family lived in a house made of ice and hard snow. It was called an "igloo". The igloo was heated(加热) with oil lamps. A hole is made in the roof for smoke or smell to go out. Today they live in houses made of wood and iron. But sometimes they will live for a while in an igloo when they go hunting (打猎).
    Many years ago, only the Eskimos lived in this land. The Eskimos had believed that they were the only people in the world. They called themselves "Inuit". That means the people. Later when the American Indians (印第安人) met the Inuit, they called them Eskimos. That Indian word means "eaters of raw meat".
The word "Eskimo" means ______.

选项 A、the people who eat raw meat
B、the people who build an igloo
C、the people who live in Alaska

答案A

解析 短文中提到美洲印第安人称因纽特人为爱斯基摩人。在印第安语中,这是“吃生肉之人”的意思。因此答案为A。
