Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

The dogsled （狗拉雪橇）race was about to begin. Julie’s team of dogs was lined up
at the starting gate. Julie stood behind them. The air was so cold that she could see her breath.
Other teams were lined up, too, and the dogs were excited. Julie kept her eyes on the clock.
At exactly ten o’clock, she and the other racers yelled, “Mush!” The dogs knew that meant
“Go!” They leapt forward and the race began!
Now, they ran over snowy hills and down into frozen valleys. They stopped only to
rest and eat. They wanted to stay ahead of the other teams. The racers had to go a thousand
miles across Alaska. Alaska is one of the coldest places on Earth. The dogs' thick fur coats
helped keep them warm in the cold wind and weather. In many places along the route the
snow was deep. Pieces of ice were as sharp as knives. The ice could cut the dogs' feet. To
keep that from happening, Julie had put special boots on their feet.
At first the dogs seemed to pull the sled (雪橇) very slowly. They were still getting
used to the race. But on the third day out, they began to pull more quickly. They worked as a
team and passed many of the other racers. Once, one of the sled’s runners (滑板) slid into a
hole and broke. Julie could have given up then, but she didn't. She fixed it and they kept
going.
When they finally reached the finish line, they found out that they had come in first
place！ It was a great day for Julie and her dogs.

agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it is in the east？ It’s

were spring, the warmth of the sun and the return of vegetation to the fields.

magazines make a countdown before Christmas: -one shopping days before
Christmas, twenty days before Christmas…your time, for time glides on with
speedy foot.
