听力原文： Alaska belonged to Russia until the United States purchased the territory just after the Civil War. Influences of the Russian period are to be seen in Southeast, Southwest, and Central Alaska today. You drive to quiet, peaceful communities on the Kenai Peninsula, or fly to Kodiak or Sitka, and step back into a simpler, less hurried time. Strolling through the grounds of a Russian Orthodox church is like stepping back into nineteenth-century Russia, but you' re still in the United States. "What an incredible buy", you realize. "Russia sold us this magnificent land for only two cents an acre".

Anchorage, the commercial hub and home for nearly half of the state's 400,000 residents, is one of the youngest major cities in the United States. Anchorage today is an 'air crossroads' to more than 1.5 million passengers who shuttle each year over the Pole between Europe and the Far East or who fly on direct flights to Alaska from the West Coast and Midwest cities. You don't know quite what to expect when your jet lands at Anchorage. The name sounds nautical, but driving into town you realize you've entered a familiar, modern city. Here, Alaskans have pushed a hole in the frontier and made an exciting urban oasis. Your surprise makes it all the more exciting.
