All Eskimos live most of their lives close to salt or fresh water. They may follow game inland for several hundred miles, but they always return to the shores of rivers lakes, or seas. Eskimo land has a bare look. Large rocks, pebbles, and sand cover much of the surface. Plants called lichen (地衣) grow right on rock. And where there is enough soil, even grass, flowers, and small bushes manage to live. No trees can grow on Eskimo land, so geographers sometimes call this country the Arctic plains. Some animals, such as rabbits and caribou(北美驯鹿), eat the plants. Others, like the white fox and grey wolf, eat the rabbits and caribou. The Eskimo is a meat-eater, too, and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.
The Eskimo year has two main parts: a long, cold winter and a short, cool summer. Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed. Summer is the good time, when food is usually plentiful. But it is also the time when the Eskimos are very busy. Winter is never far away, and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store. For seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.
The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun. This is true in the middle of summer, for between April 21st and August 21stthe sun never sets in Northern Greenland. But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sun shining at all. Around Oct. 21stthe Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun setting straight south of them, and they don’t see it again until February 22nd. All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year. As a result, if summer is lighter, winter has to be darker.
Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-blank. As in the rest of the world, the stars and moon provide a little light, The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see. And with the ground covered with snow, even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimo’s eyes.
From the passage, we can infer all except that ______.
选项
A、Eskimos are more likely to eat wolves in summer
B、Eskimo women are responsible for housework
C、animal meat is Eskimos’ main source of food
D、hunting is an important part of Eskimo life
答案
A
解析
推理理解题。题目形式为反选题,即选择不能从文章中推理出来的选项。B 、C 、D 三项均可在文中找到依据,而根据文章第一段的最后一句,我们知道爱斯基摩人只在食物匮乏时才吃狼,那么在夏天食物充足的情况下,不会吃狼的,因此A 项与原文不符,故答案选A 。
