【解析】

生活在北美洲的因紐特人，也就是愛斯基摩人，他們的生活在30年里發(fā)生了很大的變化。這篇短文給我們對比了愛斯基摩人過去的生活和現(xiàn)在的生活。

【1】根據(jù)上句話The Inuit people of North America used to be called Eskimos可知，這里引出了這篇短文的主要內(nèi)容，提到了兩種稱呼Inuit和Eskimos，這句話應(yīng)對這兩個名稱進(jìn)行進(jìn)一步的解釋，故應(yīng)選C，意為：他們現(xiàn)在被叫做因紐特，意思是“人民”而不是愛斯基摩人。

【2】根據(jù)上句話They used to hunt seals可知，這里說的是因紐特人過去的生活，他們獵殺海豹，這個空應(yīng)承上啟下，講述他們獵殺海豹的目的，故應(yīng)選E，意為：他們吃肉，用皮毛做成衣服。

【3】根據(jù)上文“Our winter igloos were very warm. We cooked inside, so sometimes it got too hot可知，愛斯基摩人過去住的冰屋非常的溫暖，他們在屋里做飯，屋里有時候會非常的熱，所以導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果是脫掉衣服，因此應(yīng)選A，意為：當(dāng)我在冰屋里的時候，我會脫掉大部分的衣服。

【4】根據(jù)這個空的上下文To move over the snow, Inuit people wore special snowshoes on their feet…….These machines can travel long distances（距離）in a short time.可知，這兩句對比的是因紐特人過去和現(xiàn)在如何在雪地里走路，下句話的開頭提到了These machines這些機(jī)器，因此這個空應(yīng)該說的是現(xiàn)在因紐特人行走的工具，故應(yīng)選D，意為：現(xiàn)在許多愛斯基摩人騎雪地摩托車。

【5】根據(jù)下文and they learnt everything from their parents. Now, like all North Americans, they go to school for about ten years可知，這里對比的是因紐特人過去和現(xiàn)在受教育的情況，根據(jù)空后的這句話可知，過去因紐特人的孩子從父母那里學(xué)習(xí)所有的事情，因此我們可以知道，他們是不上學(xué)的，故應(yīng)選B，意為：因紐特的孩子從來不上學(xué)。

這篇短文給我們對比了北美的因紐特人，也就是過去我們所說的愛斯基摩人，過去的生活和現(xiàn)在的生活，通過閱讀這篇短文，我們可以更加了解因紐特人的生活情況，漲很多知識。文章的內(nèi)容是比較容易理解的，有一部分生詞在短文中都給出了詞義，不影響我們的理解。題型是選擇適當(dāng)?shù)木渥友a(bǔ)全短文，要求我們把短文中空出的五個句子填到文章中，五個選項，五個空，是一一對應(yīng)的。做題時，應(yīng)首先通讀短文，掌握大意，理清思路；然后閱讀后面的五個句子，弄清楚每句話的意思，然后根據(jù)上下文的語境提示作答。做題技巧：我們了解文意后會發(fā)現(xiàn)，這篇短文從幾個方面對比了因紐特人生活的變化，如居住的地方、獵殺海豹、在雪中行走的交通工具以及孩子們上學(xué)的情況，這樣我們就可以根據(jù)空格的上下文提示，先定住這里說的是哪個方面，縮小范圍，再結(jié)合選項就能知道答案。例如第2小題，根據(jù)空格的上句話可知，這里說的是因紐特人獵殺海豹，這個空應(yīng)承上啟下，講述他們獵殺海豹的目的，故應(yīng)選E。再如第5小題，根據(jù)下文and they learnt everything from their parents. Now, like all North Americans, they go to school for about ten years可知，這里對比的是因紐特人過去和現(xiàn)在受教育的情況，根據(jù)空后的這句話可知，過去因紐特人的孩子從父母那里學(xué)習(xí)所有的事情，因此我們可以知道，他們是不上學(xué)的，故應(yīng)選B。
