Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.
Engineers of the Woods
In the forests of North America, where the winters are often long and cold,
small lakes can be found along the streams. Sometimes these lakes are
natural, sometimes they are man-made, and sometimes they are the
constructions of beavers (海狸). You can tell a beaver lake by its dam. To
make the dams, the beavers lay sticks and branches on top of each other to
form an effective barrier against the water of the stream. Near the dam the
beavers lay sticks and branches. Usually this barrier is similar to a small island
in a lake. This is the house where a beaver family spends the winter,
protecting themselves from enemies and from the cold. The beavers are
able to keep dry in the center of the house, which is above water level.
The beavers work hard to make their house. They cut down trees,
gather branches and put them together with mud. Most of the summer is
spent on this kind of work, but in winter the beavers' work pays off. Their
house protects them from bears as well as the cold. The beaver is related to animals such as rats and mice. The beaver,
however, is much bigger than his relatives. An adult beaver may weigh more
than 50 pounds, and his body may be about three feet long. His tail will add
ten to twelve more inches to his length. His back feet are webbed, which
help him swim rapidly. His front feet are similar to a pair of strong hands.
With them he can carry wood and stones. His eyes, nose and ears are small,
but he has two huge front teeth. These teeth are always growing, and he
must keep them sharp by constant use. The teeth of an adult beaver are
yellow from the bark of trees that he bites.
Men attach great value to the beaver because beavers can be sold
to make expensive clothing. Beavers have almost disappeared from
Europe because trappers (设阱捕兽者) have killed so many of them.
Beavers might easily have become extinct in America, too, but laws were
passed to protect them before they were all killed.
The beaver likes family life, and lives with the same mate all his
life. Several young—usually two to five—are born every year. The little
beavers stay with their parents for two years before mating and setting out
on their own. They share the work of building dams, constructing homes
and raising the young.
When there are too many beavers in one place, some of them will group
together in another place. They usually choose a spot near some fairly deep
