32、the places as long as the fish supply lasted. Fish-eaters could stay in one place for several years. However, once man learned to farm, he could live longer in one place. Thus, he was able to build a permanent home. Once again, he built his home with the materials he found at hand. In Egypt, for exa

33、mple, wood was scarce, so most houses were built of bricks made of dried mud, with a roof supported by tree trunks. When the Norsemen came from Scandinavia to northern Europe, they found many forests, so they built homes with a framework of heavy tree trunks and then filled the space between the tru

34、nks with clay. The Eskimos, on the other hand, lived in a land where there was little or no wood. They learned to adapt their homes perfectly to their surroundings. In the wintertime, when everything was covered with snow and ice, the Eskimos built their homes with blocks of ice. When the warm weath

35、er came and melted the ice, the Eskimos lived in a tent made of animal skins. The weather is mans worst natural enemy.

Protection from danger has also influenced the type of house man builds. When enemies threatened him, man made h

When danger threatens, they remove the ladders leading to their homes. The cliff dwellers of the American Southwest built their homes high up on the sides of cliffs, where a

38、ccess was very difficult. Nomad tribes must move from place to place, taking care of flocks of sheep that are always in need of fresh grass. Their houses must be simple and easy to transport. The nomads of central Asia have developed a house made of a framework of poles covered with felt. The house

39、is round because the framework is curved, and there is a hole at the top to let the smoke out.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, the Norsemen who came to northern Europe built their houses with_.（分数：2.00）A.rocks and woodB.wood and clayC.wooden roofs and stone wallsD.wooden walls and thatched ro
