In the Arctic Circle, it is not that Eskimos lack ability or industry, but the surroundings restrict constructive effort to the barest necessities of existence. This effectually retards progress to higher development.
Agriculture is impossible all along the thousands of miles of the north shore. The only wood is such as drifts in. Other than this driftwood, the only available building materials are snow, ice, stone, and bones of animals. All of these have been used for habitations and storage places, differing in various tribes according to the requirements and skill of the workers.
The lack of necessary timbers to build walls and span wide spaces is probably one reason why these tribes construct their houses at least partly beneath the surface of the ground. This device also makes the houses more impervious (不能渗透的) to the cold.
Most of us are inclined to think that the Eskimo lives always in an igloo or snow house. This is not entirely true. After the long cold winter, the family is very likely to move, when the weather permits, into a tent of sealskin. The actual construction of such a tent is similar to that used by other, more southerly tribes and will be described later.
The snow house, however, is an interesting and unique habitation. Our summer campers will not build with snow, but the delicate art is worth recording and some of our winter camps in the mountains might try to make snow houses.
In the long winter, Eskimos commonly live in______.
选项
A、a snow house
B、a stone house
C、a storage place
D、a tent of sealskin
答案
A
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问在漫长的寒冬里,爱斯基摩人通常住在哪里。利用查阅式阅读法,我们发现文章第二段第三句指出,除漂浮木以外,其他可用的建筑材料只有雪、冰、石和动物骨架。各部落根据需要和工匠的技能而使用不同材料。第四段前三句指出,我们许多人倾向于认为爱斯基摩人总是住在圆顶帐篷或雪房子内。这并不全对。经过漫长的严冬后,如果天气允许,他们很可能迁到海豹皮做的帐篷中居住。可见,在冬天,雪房子是他们常用居所之一。因此,本题的正确答案应是A。
