Alaska
In 1959 Americans welcomed Alaska into the Union as the 49th state,symbolizing a change of attitude from that held in 1867, when the peninsula（半岛）was purchased from Russia.Then, most Americans had little interest in 1,500,000 square kilometers"of icebergs and polar bears"-beyond Canada's western borders,far from the settled areas of the United States.
In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle,Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bears.Ice masses lie buried in the earth.From early May until early August,the midnight sun never :ts on this flat,treeless region,but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two-thirds of a meter down.
Alaska is America's largest state,but only about 325,000 people live there.According to estimates, 800，000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing but only about 640,000 hectares are being cultivated?
Arctic Alaska has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries.It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia,probably crossing Bering Strait,named for Vitus Bering,the Danish ea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in 1741.The Eskimos are the state's earliest known inhabitants.Russian fur traders established settlements but,by the time Alaska was sold to the United States,most of the traders had departed.
In 1896 gold was discovered near the Klondike River in Canada just across the Alaskan border.Thousands of Americans rushed to the region on their way to Klondike;some never returned.Alaska was ,ever completely cut off again,although even today transportation is a major problem.There are only two motor routes from the US mainland,and within the state,every town has its own airfield.Planes fly passengers,mail and freight to the most distant villages.
The gold that changed life so suddenly for Alaska was soon ended,and although many stories about fining camps have become part of American literature,the gold from Alaskan earth contributed less to ,economic progress than the fish from Alaskan waters.The fish?caught in a single year range in value from $80 million to $90 million.Fur一bearing animals are plentiful in the forests and streams,and valuable fur seals inhabit the waters.After fishing,the state's chief industry is lumber and the production of wood pulp（纸浆）.In recent years,Alaska's single most important resource has become oil.The state also has large deposits of coal,copper,gold and other minerals.

Judging from recent surveys,most experts in sleep behavior agree that it is virtually an epidemic of sleepiness in the nation."I can't think of a single study that hasn't found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,"says Dr. David.Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.
The beginning of our sleep-deficit crisis can be traced to the invention of the light bulb a century ago.From diary entries and other personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries,sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night. "The best sleep habits once were forced on us,when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm,and it was dark." By the 1950s and 1960s,that sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically,to between 7.5 and 8 hours,and most people had to wake to an alarm clock."People cheat on their sleep,and they don't even realize they're doing it,"says Dr. David."They think they're okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours,when they really need 7.5,8 or even more to feel ideally vigorous."
"Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep,"researchers say,"is the complexity of the day." Whenever pressures from work,family,friends and community mount,many people consider sleep the least expensive item on his program."In our society,you're considered dynamic if you say you only need 5.5 hours' sleep.If you've got to get 8.5 hours,people think you lack drive and ambition."
To determine the consequences of sleep deficit,researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them,for instance,to add columns of numbers or recall a page read to them only minutes earlier."We've found that if you're in sleep deficit,performance suffers,"says Dr. David."Short-term memory is weakened,as are abilities to make decision and to concentrate."According to Dr. David,Americans___________.
A: are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life
B:often neglect the consequences of sleep deficit
C:do not know how to relax themselves properly
D:can get by on 6.5 hours of sleep答案：B解析：细节题。答案相关句在第二段第三句："The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark.”由此可知，以前夜晚一片漆黑，人们没有事做，因而那时的人们养成了最佳睡眠的习惯。本段首句提到了睡眠不足是因为电灯泡的发明，可推知十八九世纪的人因为没有照明，导致没有事情可做，因而养成了早睡觉的习惯。因此，选项B符合文意。选项A“没有精力和野心”和选项C “有最好的睡眠习惯”使用文中的只言片语进行干扰，不正确；选项D“第二天有很多事情要做”文中没有提及。
推断题。在第二段后半部分中，大卫博士提到其实在睡眠上人们在自欺欺人，只是他们没有意识到而已，并且人们认为睡6.5个小时他们完全可以应付。事实上，要确保精力充沛，他们需要7.5个小时、8个小时或更长时间的睡眠。在第三段中，大卫博士指出，每当面对工作、家人、朋友和社会的巨大压力时，很多人认为睡眠是最不重要的，是最可以有弹性的。由此不难得出结论，美国人不在乎睡眠不足的后果或对此视而不见，因此选项B 符合文意。
推断题。根据第三段内容可知，美国人往往通过减少睡眠时间的方式来处理生活中的事情，因为他们认为睡眠是最不重要的（the least expensive item)。因此，选项A 符合文意。选项B“需要更多的睡眠去应对生活压力”与文意正好相反；选项C“一天任何时候都可以用来睡觉”和选项D“充足的睡眠可以激发人的动力和野心”文中没有提及。
语义题。由最后一段第一句的put subjects through...tests可知，这些subjects要经过一些测试，由此推知，subjects即 “测试对象”。因此，选项C为正确答案。
推断题。由最后一段最后两句“We've found that if you're in sleep deficit, performance suffers…Short-term memory is weakened,as are abilities to make decision and to concentrate.”可知，睡眠关系到人的精力和表现，因此，选项D符合文意。虽然文章在最后一段提到了睡眠不足时，瞬时记忆力会下降，但并没有说睡多了可以提高记忆力，因此选项A“大幅度提高记忆力”不正确；选项B“被其他人认为精力充沛”是对原文的曲解；选项C“维持某人的日程安排”文中并未提及。 -

In Your Face
Why is this man so angry?We don't know the reason,but we can see the emotion in his face.What-
ever culture you come from,you can understand the feeling that he is expressing.
Forty years ago,psychologist Paul Ekman of the University of California,San Francisco,became
interested in how people's faces show their feelings.He took photographs of Americans expressing various
emotions.Then he showed them to the Fore people,who live in the jungle in New Guinea. Most of the Fore
had never seen foreign faces,but they easily understood Americans' expressions of anger,happiness,sad-
ness,disgust,fear,and surprise.
Then Ekman did the same experiment in reverse.He showed pictures of Fore faces to Americans,and
the results were similar. Americans had no problems reading the emotions on the Fore people's faces.
Ekman's research gave powerful support to the theory that facial expressions for basic emotions are the same
everywhere.He did more research in Japan,Brazil,and Argentina,and got the same results.
According to Ekman,these six emotions are universal because they are built into our brains.They
developed to help us deal with things quickly that might hurt us.Some emotional triggers are universal as
well.When something suddenly comes into sight,people feel fear,because it might be dangerous.But most
emotional triggers are learned.For example,two people might smell newly cut grass.One person spent won-
derful summers in the country as a child,so the smell makes him happy.The other person remembers work-
ing very hard on a farm and being hungry,so he feels sad.
Once we make an emotional association in our brain,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to
change it."Emotion is the least changeable part of the brain,"says Ekman.But we can learn to manage our
emotions better. For instance,we can be more aware of things that make us angry,and we can think before
we react.
There are many differences between cultures,in their languages and customs.But a smile is exactly the
same everywhere.Fear is the most difficult emotion to change.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：C解析：文章中Paul Ekman为了研究人类对不同面部表情的辨认能力，针对不同国家、不同文 化群体的人们做实验。故选A。
由文章第三段第四句话可知，Ekman的研究验证了不论在哪一个地方，人类对一些基 本情感的面部表达方式都是一样的这一理论。虽然Ekman在不同国家做实验但得出的结论 是相同的。正是这样的研究结果才验证了上面的理论。
题干说：“美国人要比新几内亚的Fore people更易动怒。”这一点在文章中未提及。
参考第17题解析。
题干说：“不同的两个人可能会对同一事物产生不同的情感。”在文章第四段后半部分， 作者举了一个例子。当两个人闻到刚割过的青草的味道时，一个人感到高兴因为青草的味道 让他想起童年时在乡村度过的愉快的夏天。另一个人感到难过因为青草的味道让他想起在农 场工作时又累又饿的情景。所以题干说法正确。
题干说：“恐惧是最难改变的一种情感。”文章中没有提及。
题干说：“来自不同文化背景的人们在互相理解时会微笑。”文章最后一段说不同文化 背景的人们在他们的语言和风俗方面会有不同，但微笑无论在哪里都是相同的。题干的说法 没有提及。 -

"Clean your plate!"and"Be a member of the clean-plate club!"Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often,it's accompanied by an appeal:"Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!"Sure,we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately,many people in the US take too many bites.Instead of staying"clean the plate",perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.
According to news reports,US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer,with two to four times the amount recommended by the government,according to a USA Today story.Americans traditionally associate quantity with, value and most restaurants try to give them that.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.
Barbara Rolls,a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University,told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the American waistline began to expand.
Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions.Now,apparently, some customers are calling for this too.The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large;23 percent had no opinion;20 percent disagreed.But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions.Seventy percent of those earning at least ￥150,000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than ￥25,000 want smaller.
It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy.It's just that,after long hours at lowpaying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paycheck to paycheck,happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.Why do American restaurants serve large portions?
A:Because Americans associate quantity with value.
B:Because Americans have big bellies.
C:Because Americans are good eaters.
D:Because Americans are greedy.答案：A解析：文章第一段开头就讲了，美国父母会让孩子吃光盘子里的食物，不要浪费。因此只有选项C是正确的。
第二段告诉我们传统上美国人会把数量同价值联系在一起，也就是说量越大就越划算，因此饭店给顾客的饭菜量大。饭店宁愿让顾客抱怨饭菜给的过多也不愿让他们觉得饭菜过少。因此选项A是正确的。
文章第三段提到：芭芭拉·罗尔斯教授说20世纪70年代美国饭馆给的饭量开始增加，同时美国人的腰围也粗了。因此选项D是正确的。
文章第四段对调查的结果进行了详尽的解释，选项B、C、D的数据都不正确，只有选项A的表述是正确的。
选项C说“他们不想做吃的健康的人”，这一表述是错误的。文章最后一段明确讲了美国工人不是不想做吃得健康的人，他们只是工作强度大，觉得饭菜量少会不划算。因此选项C。 -

单选题What can be concluded from the passage?AMedical tests and education for Americans with diabetes are not covered by the present healthcare schemes.
BIf you are 20 years old or more, you are more likely to suffer from diabetes.
CFamily help is the more important and most effective in detecting and treating diabetes.
DIn the US, July 1 is a day of celebration for hospital staff, nurses and patients.
正确答案： A解析：
推理判断题。录音首句提到“…that starting July 1 for the very first time, medicare will cover tests and education for Americans with diabetes”，表明从七月一日起，美国糖尿病患者的检查和教育首次被纳入医疗保险之中。可推断出，在此之前，美国医疗保保险不包括对糖尿病患者的检查和教育。因此选项A表达内容与录音原文相符。
【录音原文】
Today, I’m pleased to announce that starting on July 1 for the very first time, medicare will cover tests and education for Americans with diabetes. With this announcement today, the 20 percent of older Americans with diabetes will be able to take preventive steps to help them and their families avoid the pain and loss that can come when this disease is undetected and untreated. -

第三篇
Judging from recent surveys,most experts in sleep behavior agree that it is virtually an epidemic of sleepiness in the nation."I can't think of a single study that hasn't found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,"says Dr. David.Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.
The beginning of our sleep-deficit crisis can be traced to the invention of the light bulb a century ago.From diary entries and other personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries,sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night. "The best sleep habits once were forced on us,when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm,and it was dark." By the 1950s and 1960s,that sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically,to between 7.5 and 8 hours,and most people had to wake to an alarm clock."People cheat on their sleep,and they don't even realize they're doing it,"says Dr. David."They think they're okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours,when they really need 7.5,8 or even more to feel ideally vigorous."
"Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep,"researchers say,"is the complexity of the day." Whenever pressures from work,family,friends and community mount,many people consider sleep the least expensive item on his program."In our society,you're considered dynamic if you say you only need 5.5 hours' sleep.If you've got to get 8.5 hours,people think you lack drive and ambition."
To determine the consequences of sleep deficit,researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them,for instance,to add columns of numbers or recall a page read to them only minutes earlier."We've found that if you're in sleep deficit,performance suffers,"says Dr. David."Short-term memory is weakened,as are abilities to make decision and to concentrate."Many Americans believe that__________.
A:sleep is the first thing that can be sacrificed when one is busy
B:they need more sleep to cope with the complexities of everyday life
C:to sleep is something one can do at any time of the day
D:enough sleep promotes people's drive and ambition答案：A解析：细节题。答案相关句在第二段第三句："The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark.”由此可知，以前夜晚一片漆黑，人们没有事做，因而那时的人们养成了最佳睡眠的习惯。本段首句提到了睡眠不足是因为电灯泡的发明，可推知十八九世纪的人因为没有照明，导致没有事情可做，因而养成了早睡觉的习惯。因此，选项B符合文意。选项A“没有精力和野心”和选项C “有最好的睡眠习惯”使用文中的只言片语进行干扰，不正确；选项D“第二天有很多事情要做”文中没有提及。
推断题。在第二段后半部分中，大卫博士提到其实在睡眠上人们在自欺欺人，只是他们没有意识到而已，并且人们认为睡6.5个小时他们完全可以应付。事实上，要确保精力充沛，他们需要7.5个小时、8个小时或更长时间的睡眠。在第三段中，大卫博士指出，每当面对工作、家人、朋友和社会的巨大压力时，很多人认为睡眠是最不重要的，是最可以有弹性的。由此不难得出结论，美国人不在乎睡眠不足的后果或对此视而不见，因此选项B 符合文意。
推断题。根据第三段内容可知，美国人往往通过减少睡眠时间的方式来处理生活中的事情，因为他们认为睡眠是最不重要的（the least expensive item)。因此，选项A 符合文意。选项B“需要更多的睡眠去应对生活压力”与文意正好相反；选项C“一天任何时候都可以用来睡觉”和选项D“充足的睡眠可以激发人的动力和野心”文中没有提及。
语义题。由最后一段第一句的put subjects through...tests可知，这些subjects要经过一些测试，由此推知，subjects即 “测试对象”。因此，选项C为正确答案。
推断题。由最后一段最后两句“We've found that if you're in sleep deficit, performance suffers…Short-term memory is weakened,as are abilities to make decision and to concentrate.”可知，睡眠关系到人的精力和表现，因此，选项D符合文意。虽然文章在最后一段提到了睡眠不足时，瞬时记忆力会下降，但并没有说睡多了可以提高记忆力，因此选项A“大幅度提高记忆力”不正确；选项B“被其他人认为精力充沛”是对原文的曲解；选项C“维持某人的日程安排”文中并未提及。 -

When I try to understand（ ）that prevents so many Americans from being as happy as one might expect,it seems to me that there are two causes.A.why it does
B.what it does
C.what it is
D.why it is答案：C解析：该题考查句子结构。根据题干，“that...might expect”在句中做understand的宾语。宾语从句可由连接词that引导，that仅起连接作用，常可省略。若连接词在句中兼起一个句子成分的作用，则应使用what,how,when,why,who,which,where等连词，但要用陈述语气，根据句意答案为C，连接词在句中做表语。 -

第三篇
"Clean your plate!"and"Be a member of the clean-plate club!"Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often,it's accompanied by an appeal:"Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!"Sure,we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately,many people in the US take too many bites.Instead of staying"clean the plate",perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.
According to news reports,US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer,with two to four times the amount recommended by the government,according to a USA Today story.Americans traditionally associate quantity with, value and most restaurants try to give them that.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.
Barbara Rolls,a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University,told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the American waistline began to expand.
Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions.Now,apparently, some customers are calling for this too.The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large;23 percent had no opinion;20 percent disagreed.But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions.Seventy percent of those earning at least ￥150,000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than ￥25,000 want smaller.
It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy.It's just that,after long hours at lowpaying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paycheck to paycheck,happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.What does the survey indicate?
A:Many poor Americans want large portions.
B:Twenty percent Americans want smaller portions.
C:Fifty seven percent Americans earn ￥150,000 per year.
D:Twenty three percent Americans earn less than ￥25,000 per year.答案：A解析：文章第一段开头就讲了，美国父母会让孩子吃光盘子里的食物，不要浪费。因此只有选项C是正确的。
第二段告诉我们传统上美国人会把数量同价值联系在一起，也就是说量越大就越划算，因此饭店给顾客的饭菜量大。饭店宁愿让顾客抱怨饭菜给的过多也不愿让他们觉得饭菜过少。因此选项A是正确的。
文章第三段提到：芭芭拉·罗尔斯教授说20世纪70年代美国饭馆给的饭量开始增加，同时美国人的腰围也粗了。因此选项D是正确的。
文章第四段对调查的结果进行了详尽的解释，选项B、C、D的数据都不正确，只有选项A的表述是正确的。
选项C说“他们不想做吃的健康的人”，这一表述是错误的。文章最后一段明确讲了美国工人不是不想做吃得健康的人，他们只是工作强度大，觉得饭菜量少会不划算。因此选项C。 -

In Your Face
Why is this man so angry?We don't know the reason,but we can see the emotion in his face.What-
ever culture you come from,you can understand the feeling that he is expressing.
Forty years ago,psychologist Paul Ekman of the University of California,San Francisco,became
interested in how people's faces show their feelings.He took photographs of Americans expressing various
emotions.Then he showed them to the Fore people,who live in the jungle in New Guinea. Most of the Fore
had never seen foreign faces,but they easily understood Americans' expressions of anger,happiness,sad-
ness,disgust,fear,and surprise.
Then Ekman did the same experiment in reverse.He showed pictures of Fore faces to Americans,and
the results were similar. Americans had no problems reading the emotions on the Fore people's faces.
Ekman's research gave powerful support to the theory that facial expressions for basic emotions are the same
everywhere.He did more research in Japan,Brazil,and Argentina,and got the same results.
According to Ekman,these six emotions are universal because they are built into our brains.They
developed to help us deal with things quickly that might hurt us.Some emotional triggers are universal as
well.When something suddenly comes into sight,people feel fear,because it might be dangerous.But most
emotional triggers are learned.For example,two people might smell newly cut grass.One person spent won-
derful summers in the country as a child,so the smell makes him happy.The other person remembers work-
ing very hard on a farm and being hungry,so he feels sad.
Once we make an emotional association in our brain,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to
change it."Emotion is the least changeable part of the brain,"says Ekman.But we can learn to manage our
emotions better. For instance,we can be more aware of things that make us angry,and we can think before
we react.
There are many differences between cultures,in their languages and customs.But a smile is exactly the
same everywhere.Americans get angry more often than the Fore people from New Guinea.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：C解析：文章中Paul Ekman为了研究人类对不同面部表情的辨认能力，针对不同国家、不同文 化群体的人们做实验。故选A。
由文章第三段第四句话可知，Ekman的研究验证了不论在哪一个地方，人类对一些基 本情感的面部表达方式都是一样的这一理论。虽然Ekman在不同国家做实验但得出的结论 是相同的。正是这样的研究结果才验证了上面的理论。
题干说：“美国人要比新几内亚的Fore people更易动怒。”这一点在文章中未提及。
参考第17题解析。
题干说：“不同的两个人可能会对同一事物产生不同的情感。”在文章第四段后半部分， 作者举了一个例子。当两个人闻到刚割过的青草的味道时，一个人感到高兴因为青草的味道 让他想起童年时在乡村度过的愉快的夏天。另一个人感到难过因为青草的味道让他想起在农 场工作时又累又饿的情景。所以题干说法正确。
题干说：“恐惧是最难改变的一种情感。”文章中没有提及。
题干说：“来自不同文化背景的人们在互相理解时会微笑。”文章最后一段说不同文化 背景的人们在他们的语言和风俗方面会有不同，但微笑无论在哪里都是相同的。题干的说法 没有提及。 -

Alaska
In 1959 Americans welcomed Alaska into the Union as the 49th state,symbolizing a change of attitude from that held in 1867, when the peninsula（半岛）was purchased from Russia.Then, most Americans had little interest in 1,500,000 square kilometers"of icebergs and polar bears"-beyond Canada's western borders,far from the settled areas of the United States.
In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle,Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bears.Ice masses lie buried in the earth.From early May until early August,the midnight sun never :ts on this flat,treeless region,but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two-thirds of a meter down.
Alaska is America's largest state,but only about 325,000 people live there.According to estimates, 800，000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing but only about 640,000 hectares are being cultivated?
Arctic Alaska has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries.It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia,probably crossing Bering Strait,named for Vitus Bering,the Danish ea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in 1741.The Eskimos are the state's earliest known inhabitants.Russian fur traders established settlements but,by the time Alaska was sold to the United States,most of the traders had departed.
In 1896 gold was discovered near the Klondike River in Canada just across the Alaskan border.Thousands of Americans rushed to the region on their way to Klondike;some never returned.Alaska was ,ever completely cut off again,although even today transportation is a major problem.There are only two motor routes from the US mainland,and within the state,every town has its own airfield.Planes fly passengers,mail and freight to the most distant villages.
The gold that changed life so suddenly for Alaska was soon ended,and although many stories about fining camps have become part of American literature,the gold from Alaskan earth contributed less to ,economic progress than the fish from Alaskan waters.The fish?caught in a single year range in value from $80 million to $90 million.Fur一bearing animals are plentiful in the forests and streams,and valuable fur seals inhabit the waters.After fishing,the state's chief industry is lumber and the production of wood pulp（纸浆）.In recent years,Alaska's single most important resource has become oil.The state also has large deposits of coal,copper,gold and other minerals.What is mainly responsible for the economic growth in Alaska now?
A:Gold.
B:Oil.
C:Fish.
D:Fur.答案：C解析：本文主要讲述了阿拉斯加半岛的地理位置、地貌特征、可耕种面积、土著居民以及主要经济产业等内容。
由文章第一段第一句话“…when the peninsula was purchased from Russia.”可知，阿拉斯加半岛曾是俄罗斯的一部分。故选D。
由文章第三段中“800,000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing...”可知，阿拉斯加州的一些土地适合耕种。故选B。

由文章第五段最后两句话“.and within the state, every town has its own airfield.Planes fly passengers, mail and freight to the most distant villages.”可知，阿拉斯加州的主要交通工具是飞机。故选C。
由文章最后一段可知，虽然成千上万的美国人奔赴阿拉斯加州淘金，但是阿拉斯加州的金子对经济发展的贡献远不如阿拉斯加州水里的鱼。那里一年捕到的鱼能卖8 000万到 9 000万美元。故选C。 -

问答题If you think American cooking means opening a package and tossing the contents into the microwave, think again. On the one hand, it's true that Americans thrive on cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners. From busy homemakers to professional people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of prepackaged meals that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans recognize the value of cooking skills. Most Americans will admit that there's nothing better than a good home-cooked meal.正确答案： 假如您以为美式烹饪就是打开一个料理盒,将里头的东西抛进微波炉加热,那你得改变想法了。从某一方面来说,美国人靠吃早餐的冷麦片、午餐的三明治及速食晚餐而发育健壮,这倒是真的。从忙碌的家庭主妇到上班族,许多美国人喜欢享受事先包装好的便餐所带来的便利——这些速食在10分钟或更短时间内即可上桌。但是从另一个方面来看,许多美国人都认同厨艺的价值。大多数美国人都承认没有什么能比得上一顿自家做的美食。解析： 暂无解析
