Part 2: Reading Comprehension - Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.
In the early 1920's, settlers came to Alaska looking for gold. They traveled by boat to the coastal towns of
Seward and Knik, and from there by land into the gold fields. The trail they used to travel inland is known today
as the Iditarod Trail, one of the National Historic Trails designated by the Congress of the United States. The
Iditarod Trail quickly became a major thoroughfare in Alaska, as the mail and supplies were carried across this
trail. People also used it to get from place to place, including the priests, ministers, and judges who had to travel
between villages. In the winter, the settlers’ only means of travel down this trail was via dog sled.
Once the gold rush ended, many gold-seekers went back to where they had come from, and suddenly
there was much less travel on the Iditarod Trail. The introduction of the airplane in the late 1920’s meant dog
teams were no longer the standard mode of transportation, and of course with the airplane carrying the mail and
supplies, there was less need for land travel in general. The final blow to the use of the dog teams was the
appearance of snowmobiles.
By the mid 1960's, most Alaskans didn’t even know the Iditarod Trail existed, or that dog teams had
played a crucial role in Alaska’s early settlements. Dorothy G. Page, a self-made historian, recognized how few
people knew about the former use of sled dogs as working animals and about the Iditarod Trail’s role in Alaska’s
colorful history. To raise awareness about this aspect of Alaskan history, she came up with the idea to have a dog
sled race over the Iditarod Trail. She presented her idea to an enthusiastic musher, as dog sled drivers are known,
named Joe Redington, Sr. Soon the Pages and the Redingtons were working together to promote the idea of the
Iditarod race.
Many people worked to make the first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race a reality in 1967. The Aurora Dog
Mushers Club, along with men from the Adult Camp in Sutton, helped clear years of overgrowth from the first
nine miles of the Iditarod Trail. To raise interest in the race, a $25,000 purse was offered, with Joe Redington
donating one acre of his land to help raise the funds. The short race, approximately 27 miles long, was put on a
second time in 1969.
After these first two successful races, the goal was to lengthen the race a little further to the ghost town of
Iditarod by 1973. However, in 1972, the U.S. Army reopened the trail as a winter exercise, and so in 1973, the
decision was made to take the race all the way to the city of Nome—over 1,000 miles. There were many who
believed it could not be done and that it was crazy to send a bunch of mushers out into the vast, uninhabited
Alaskan wilderness. But the race went! 22 mushers finished that year, and to date over 400 people have
completed it.

1. The primary purpose of this passage is to

a. recount the history of the Iditarod trail and the race that memorializes it
b. describe the obstacles involved in founding the Iditarod race
c. outline the circumstances that led to the establishment of the Iditarod Trail
d. reestablish the important place of the Iditarod Trail in Alaska’s history

2. Based on information in the passage, it can be inferred that all of the following contributed to the
disuse of the Iditarod Trail except
a. more modern forms of transportation
b. depleted gold mines
c. highway routes to ghost towns
d. reduced demand for land travel

3. As used in paragraph 2, which is the best definition for mode?

a. formula
b. way
c. preference
d. option
4. According to the passage, the initial Iditarod race
a. was funded through the sale of musher entrance fees
b. was founded by an advocate for Alaskan history
c. ended at the ghost town of Iditarod
d. boasted a total of 400 entrants

5. Based on information in the passage, it can be inferred that because the U.S. Army reopened the
Iditarod Trail in 1972,
a. more people could compete in the Iditarod race
b. the mushers had to get permission from the U.S. Army to hold the race
c. the trail was cleared all the way to Nome
d. the Iditarod race became a seasonal Army competition
