1.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 [pɪ'nɪnsjʊlə] 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.

1959年美国人欢迎阿拉斯加成为美国的第49个州，这表明美国人的态度与1867年刚把这个半岛从俄罗斯手中买来时的态度相比有了转变。那个时候，大多数美国人对这块150万平方公里冰山和北极熊的土地不感兴趣。它在加拿大的那一头，远离美国有人居住的地区。

2.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, which is permanently frozen to a depth of 90 or more meters. From early May until early August, the midnight sun never sets on this flat, treeless region, but the sun can not melt the icy soil more than two-thirds of a meter down.

阿拉斯加州在北极圈里的部分仍旧是冰山和北极熊出没的地方。巨大的冰块被埋在地下，这里永久的冻土层有90米或者更深。从5月初到8月初，午夜的太阳从不离开这个平坦、连一棵树都没有的地带。然而这时的太阳只能晒化2/3米深的冻土层。

3.Alaska is America’s largest state, but only about 325,000 people live there. According to estimates, 800,000 hectares [‘hekteə] of its land area are fit for plowing but only about 640,000 hectares are being cultivated.

阿拉斯加是美国大的州，而居民却只有32.5万人。据估计，这里只有80万公顷土地适合耕种，然而正在开发的却只有64万公顷。

【解析】这段讲了阿拉斯加的面积和人口数量。

【答案】F. Land and Population

4.Arctic Alaska has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries. It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia [sai'biəriə] ，probably crossing Bering Strait，named for Vitus Bering, the Danish sea 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.

阿拉斯加处于北极地区的部分千百年来就是爱斯基摩人的家园。据说爱斯基摩人是从蒙古或西伯利亚穿过白令海峡到这里来的。白令海峡因丹麦船长威塔斯.白令而得名。白令船长在1741年为俄罗斯所作的一次航行中发现了阿拉斯加。爱斯基摩人是已知的阿拉斯加早的居民。俄罗斯皮毛商在这里建立了居民区。然而，当阿拉斯加被卖给美国人的时候，他们大多离开了这里。

【解析】该段讲述了爱斯基摩人来到阿拉斯加，并成为该地早的居民。

【答案】D. The Natives of the Land

5.In 1896 gold was discovered near the Klondike ['klɔndaik] 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 never 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.

1896年在靠近阿拉斯加的加拿大边境的克朗代克河附近发现了金子。成千上万的美国人在奔赴克朗代克河的路上到了这个地区，有些人就再也没返回。阿拉斯加与其他地方完全隔离的情况结束了，可是即使在今天，运输仍然是主要问题。只有两条公路通往美国本土，而州内各市都有自己的机场，飞机将乘客、邮件送到偏远的村落。

【解析】这一段讲述了阿拉斯加虽因淘金热与外界联通，但交通至今仍是问题。

【答案】C.Transportation Problem

6.The gold that changed life so suddenly for Alaska was soon ended, and although many stories about mining 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.
