It’s the end of the winter. Most Inuit people have been inside for weeks. They haven’t seen the sun for a long time. But some men are outside. It’s very cold with a temperature of -45℃. And the freezing wind makes the situation difficult for them to endure. These men are hunters and the survival of the villagers depends on how successful their hunt is.
While hunters are away from home, they stay overnight in a little house made from ice and snow. This kind of house can protect them from the freezing wind. Inside the house, there is a small lamp which provides light and a little machine that can help provide heat for cooking or heating the room. Together they help to create a temperature of around 12℃.
Most Inuit people still live a traditional life, hunting whales and other animals. Some of them also live on the reindeer(驯鹿) they keep. The Inuits are local people of the Arctic Circle (北极圈). They have lived there for so long that they feel the land is theirs. Temperatures there are low during most of the year and summers are short, so plants can only grow for a few weeks every year. If the reindeer eat the moss(苔藓), it will take up to 30 years for the plants to grow back. This is why the Inuits who make a living by keeping reindeer have to move from place to place.
For us, life is less hard than it is for the Inuit people, but maybe we can learn something from them. Their traditional way of life is a model of living in partnership with nature rather than exploring or destroying it.
31．The first paragraph of the passage tells us that _______.
A．most Inuit people used to be inside for weeks
B．the Inuit people face a terrible condition in winter
C．hunters are successful because of low temperatures
D．hunters can make the villagers keep alive easily
32．The underlined word “endure” in the first paragraph means _______.
A．accept B．like C．stand D．control
33．Why do hunters stay in the little house made from ice and snow?
A．To enjoy the sunrise every day. B．To provide light.
C．To cook a big meal. D．To stay warm and safe at night.
34．What can we learn about the Inuit and the Arctic Circle from the passage?
A．The Inuits like staying at home during the winter.
B．The Inuit people live on hunting whales only.
C．The Arctic Circle belongs to the Inuits because they have lived there for a long time.
D．Plants grow slowly there because of the low temperature and short summer.
35．Which can be the best title for the passage?
A．The Life of the Inuit People
B．The Discovery of the Inuit People
C．The Bad Weather in the Arctic Circle
D．The Ways to Make a Living in the Arctic Circle
