提示：

1.　　   文章第一句话就提到这个词组；注意完型填空时上下文之间的联系； 2.　　   根据句意可知是eyes，表示“看表” ； 3.　　   mush表示“走” ，即使不知道mush的意思，根据上下文也可以推断出其意思； 4.　　   文章第一句就说明了，这是一个 “The dogsled race” ； 5.　　   根据题意可知他们停下的目的是补充食物和稍做休息； 6.　　   stay在这里是一个系动词，ahead of 表示“领先，甩开” ； 7.　　   Alaska即“阿拉斯加” 是有名的寒冷之地，另外根据前文提到狗拉雪橇，可知是在有雪的地方； 8.　　   keep…warm是保持温暖的意思，句中提到了fur coat，是“皮衣” ； 9.　　   as…as knife像刀一样的肯定是锋利； 10.   keep…from表示“阻止…,防止…”，此处是防止狗的脚被划伤这件事； 11.   pull the sled是“拉雪橇” 的意思； 12.   get used to 是习惯于，开始的时候，狗还不习惯，所以拉的慢，因此选still表示“仍然在慢慢习惯这件事” ； 13.   根据上下文，从第三天开始，狗跑的比开始的时候快了； 14.   as表示“像” 一个团队那样； 15.   broke需要加宾语，此处不合适；根据上下文只能选died。
