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 w as lined up at the starting gate. 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 the 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. 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 run more quickly. They worked as a team and passed many of the other racers. Once, one of the sled’s runners fell into a hole and broke. Julie could have giv en 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.
