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. [br] What does the author think of snow houses?

D、All of the above.
答案

解析
本题是一道推断类问题。问作者对雪房子的看法如何。通读全文中与雪房子有关的内容,我们知道文章最后一段指出,雪房子是一种有趣的、独特的住处。夏日野营者虽然不需用雪建房,但是,冬日野营者也许要用雪建房,因此,这门精美的艺术(或工艺)值得记述下来。所以,本题的正确答案应是D。
