八、阅读表达(共5小题,计10分)
阅读下面的短文,按要求完成后面各题。
Do you know the Inuit(因纽特人)? Let me tell you something about their lives.
The Inuit live near the North Pole(北极). There are only two seasons there, winter and summer. There is no spring or autumn there. The winter nights are long. You can't see the sun for over two months, even at midday. The summer days are long. For over two months, the sun never goes down and there's no night.
The Inuit have warm clothes. They make their clothes from the fur(皮毛) of animals. From the fur they make clothes, hats and shoes. Near the North Pole there aren't any trees, for it is too cold there. The Inuit have to make their houses from fur, ice or stone(石头). When they get out in storms(风暴)and can't get back home, they make houses of snow. They leave these houses when the storm is over.
Life is hard for the Inuit, but they still like to live there.
