Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by veral questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choo the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Life is different in Anchorage, Alaska, at the beginning of March. Every year at this time, the downtown streets become crowded with people. But the are not just regular pedestrians. In addition to the people walking through the streets, there are hundreds of dogs. It is time for the Iditarod—the famous dogsled race of Alaska.soh
The name of the race comes from the name of an Alaska gold rush town, Iditarod. It means “distant” or “distant place.” It comes from one of the languages of native Alaskans.
More than sixty sled teams begin the race in Anchorage. When the teams reach the outskirts of town, they get a taste of Alaska’s wilderness. For about two weeks, they will fight t he unbearable cold, wind, snow, and ice to
finish the race. The temperature on the trail is often well below zero degrees.
The Iditarod trail stretches for about a thousand miles. It has many rendezvous points. At the meeting places, race teams “check in” to let officials know how they are doing. Some teams get into trouble along the way.
Officials will stop them on the trail and give them the help they need. For example, officials might stop a team’s progress to give first aid or to collect an injured or tired dog. The dogs are cared for and reunited with their owners after the race.
The Iditarod trail is an important part of Alaska’s history. A part of the trail was ud by some heroic dogs and humans in 1925. In Nome, Alaska, many people were catching the deadly dia diphtheria. The whole town was in quarantine, or isolation, in order to stop this dia. The only way to get medicine to Nome was by dogsled. About twenty “mushers,” or dogsled drivers, offered to help. They wanted to save the people of Nome from this terrible trouble.
Today the Iditarod race honors this heroic journey and all of the journeys on the famous trail. As the race organizers say, the Iditarod is “the last great race on Earth.”
62.The passage is mainly about _____.
A. a dogsled race of Alaska
B. life in Alaska
C. a period of Alaska’s history
D. heroic dogs and people in Alaska
