14、or more meters. From early May until early August, the midnight sun never sets on this flat, treeless region, but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two-thirds of a meter down.3Alaska is Americas largest state, but only about 325,000 people live there.

16、ea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in 1741. The Eskimos are the states 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.5In 1896 gold was discovered near the Klondike

17、 River in Canada just across the Alaskan border. Thousands of Americans rushed to the region on their way to Klondike; some never returned.

23、面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。Newspapers often tell us of floods in some parts of the United States.Nearly every year on the great central drainages heavy rains and melting snow cause the waters to pour out the mountains and plains, to turn brooks into torrents, and to swell quiet streams into wild

24、 uncontrolled rivers. From Cairo to New Orleans, and from Pittsburgh to Paducah, the cry River rising! is a familiar yet fearful voice. . .

27、ese natural reservoirs.In the more rolling sections of the East, spring runoff was formerly absorbed and held temporarily in the porous soils beneath the unbroken expanse of forest. When large areas were converted to farm use, removal of the forest and the practice of up-and-down hill plowing depriv

28、ed the soils of much of their ability to catch and store water.The effects of eliminating the natural forest cover are shown in the gullied farm lands and widened stream channels found in some densely settled areas. Partly because the stream channels are more or less filled with material washed down

29、 from the uplands, and partly because storm runoff has increased, the channels are today no longer able to carry all the flow from heavy rains. This explains why the streams overtop banks far more often than in the days before settlement.31The best title for the selection would be_.A. River Rising!
