因纽特人生活在北极地区,分布在从西伯利亚、美国阿拉斯加到格陵兰的北极圈内外,先后创制了用拉丁字母和斯拉夫字母拼写的文字。
因纽特人主要表现出黄种人的种族特征。他们不喜欢被称为“爱斯基摩人”,因为这是他们的敌人对他们嘲笑式的称呼。
【语篇解读角】
【答案详析】
1. B。根据下文得知,这里介绍的是因纽特人的生活(life),与文章的最后一句话形成了首尾呼应。
2. B。根据下文的winter和summer判断可知是季节。
3. B。表示对两者否定时,我们用or而不用and。
4. C。由后一句话可推断答案。冬夜很长,几乎看不到太阳,也就是没有白天,这正是北极的气候特征。
5. A。see表示“看”的结果,watch和look都表示“看”的动作。
6. D。夏天白昼长,几乎没有夜晚,太阳从不下山,所以选 go down。
7. C。由上文中那里特殊的气候可知,他们要穿上暖和的衣服才能抵御严寒。
8. D。这里是指用动物皮来做衣服鞋帽。
9. A。寒冷是北极的特点,可知也是树木无法生长的原因。

13. B。用雪造房是因为遇到风暴回不了家,风暴过后自然要离开雪房子。
14. A。be over表示结束。
