Agriculture is impossible all along the thousands of miles of the north shore.

All of these have been used for habitations and storage, places, differing in various tribes according to the requirements and skill of the workers.②
The lack of necessary timbers to build walls and span wide spaces is probably one reason why they construct their houses at least partly beneath the surface of the ground. ③This device also makers the houses more impervious (不能渗透的) to the cold.

This is not entirely true.④ 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.⑤ Our summer campers will not build, with snow, but the delicate art is worth recording and some of our winter camps mountains might try to make snow houses.

Part Two
1. B。从空前后内容可推知，空及后面部分为一地点状语从句，因此，B为正确选择。题意：蚯蚓一般出现在湿气足、有其需要的食物并且有必备的土壤条件的地方。
2. B。as…as…和such…as…两种结构中，都为连词，引导比较状语从句。如as前为一可数名词并且有形容词修饰，so后一般接形容词，such后一般接不定冠词，如so big a problem, such a big problem
3. B。稍作分析，即可看出此题为一强调句，强调的部分为句子的状语。如强调句强调部分为状语，It’s…that…结构中的that不可用其它词代替。因此B为正确选择。
4. C。此题显然为一强调句，强调的部分为宾语补足语，在It is (was)…that…结构中，如强调的是名词或代词，那么that可以用which (指物)或who, whom (指人)代替。本题中强调的是一职位，因此可用which代替that，C即为正确选择。
