三、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】 第一篇    The first kayaks were created thousands of years ago by arctic inhabitants now known as the Intuits. These early indigenouspeople, formerly known as Eskimos, inhabited areas of Greenland, the northeastern point of Russia, Alaska, and the uppermostregions of Canada. Early Eskimos made kayak frames using driftwood, and early kayaks were wrapped in sealskins. Early kayakswere virtually unsinkable with air-filled seal bladders. These early kayaks were used during summer months primarily for huntingand fishing. The word “kayak” literally means “hunters' boat.”    Early kayak design varied according to the specific needs of inhabitants of particular regions. For instance, early kayaksdesigned by inhabitants surrounding the Bering Straight created wider, shorter kayaks. This kayak design provided a large area forstoring game and supplies, and it was more stable on rough water than the longer and more slender kayaks designed for speed by theAleuts.          Europeans eventually discovered the versatility of the kayak, and kayaks once designed with sealskins were designed byEuropeans with fabric covers. In 1905 a German inventor named Hans Klepper eventually purchased a design for a folding canvaskayak from a German student. He called this kayak a "foldboat." Klepper began selling this early version of the folding kayak, andkayaks once used primarily for navigation and hunts by indigenous people were now being used for sport.    Plastic kayaks were introduced in the 1980's, and kayaks continue to become lighter, sturdier, and more versatile. Now thereare several types of kayaks designed with various materials suitable for a variety of sporting events. Those who love the sport ofkayaking have more choices now than ever before.
