题文
阅读理解。 Unusual incidents are being reported across the Arctic. Inuit (因纽特人) families goingoff on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut
off from home by a sea of mud. There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than
usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather
abstract (抽象的) idea to most of us, but in the Arctic it is already having great effect-
if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean could soon
become almost ice-free in summer. The knock-on effects (连锁反应) are likely to include
more warming, cloudier skies and higher sea levels. Scientists are increasingly eager to find
out what's going on in the Arctic.
For the Inuit the problem is urgent. They live in unsteady balance with one of the toughest
environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way
of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content
simply to stand back and let outsider experts tell them what's happening. In Canada, where
the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won autonomy (自治权) in the country's
newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment
lies in combining their ancestral (祖先的) knowledge with the best of modern science. This
is a challenge in itself.
The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert that's covered with snow for most of
the year. Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who
calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first
settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea first. The
environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful; sometimes they
failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely
well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska,
bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of today's Inuit people. 1. Which of the following is likely to be the effect of climate change? [ ]A. Shorter and shorter summertime.
B. Ice-free summer around the Arctic.
C. Lower sea levels.
D. More rainy skies. 2. The Inuit people believe the solution to the climate change problem is _____. [ ]A. to change their way of life
B. to do as their ancestors
C. to try to protect the environment from now on
D. to use their ancestral knowledge and modern science 3. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that _____. [ ]A. the first settlers in the Arctic survived there quite easily
B. it's hard to farm in the Arctic due to climate change
C. the ancestors of Inuit people stood out among the settlers
D. the Thule people from Alaska invented iron tools 4. Which of the following is the best title for this text? [ ]A. Climate Change and the Inuit
B. Climate Change around the Arctic
C. Global Warming around the World
D. The Inuit and Their Ancestors around the World 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Unus.....”主要考查你对 [历史文化类阅读 ]考点的理解。历史文化类阅读
什么是历史文化类阅读：
本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。
历史文化类阅读技巧：
【题型说明】历史文化类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及历史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著节选、等等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题、事实细节题上。
【答题方法】在做这类阅读理解题时，我们应注意以下几个方面：
1、采用先题后文：先读题目，再带着问题读文章。这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点，如果带着问题读文章，有利于我们抓细节。
2、先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后，自然会加深我们对文章的理解，这样更有利于做主旨大意题。
3、重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类：一类是Main idea型；一类是Topic或Title型。
在解答这类试题时应注意以下几点：
a．读首句抓大意。
文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁，而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心，即主题句在文章开头。因此，要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句。
b．读尾句抓大意。
有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾，作为对全篇的总结。
c．读首段抓大意。
有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句。这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法。这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同，而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复。
d．从段落中抓大意。
有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中，这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题，在主题句出现后，再举例子陈述细节或继续论证。
e．归纳要点抓大意。
有些文章或段落无明显的主题句，只是暗示性地体现主题。这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意。
