A. as fish does
B. because of its rich natural resources
C. by the United States in the 19th century
D. shines day and night
E. only a very small percentage
F. a limited amount of the gold found there
5. For as long as three months of a year, the Sun ___on the ice-covered land of Alaska.
5. D。分析: 空格处需要主语,借助句子中出现的特征词three months 和day and night作为答案线索,这样找到答案相关句:
May until early August(与three months呼应), 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. 该句说“从5月到8月午夜的太阳不会落下”,因此判断D是答案。
A. as fish does
B. because of its rich natural resources
C. by the United States in the 19th century
E. only a very small percentage
F. a limited amount of the gold found there
6. According to statistics, ___________of the total area of Alaska has been used for farming.
5. E。 分析:直接根据搭配语意(阿拉斯加州只有很小的一部分被用于耕种)判断E合适。
