        In cold and snowy Alaska, there’s a village called Takotna. It has a population of a mere 49 souls. (22) [Each March, this tiny village swells up in numbers, because it is located in the middle of a race that takes place every year.] It is a seven-day race called the Iditarod Trail. And participants stop at Takotna for their obligatory 24-hour rest. Lucky for them, (23) [Takotna is famous for its delicious fruit pies.] Weeks before the competitors arrive, the residents of Takotna start preparing for what is without question their biggest event of the year. (24) [The whole village chips in to help, including the kids, who end up developing their baking skills at an early age.] Exhausted and hungry racers are greeted with delightful pies of all kinds such as apple, orange, lemon or banana. They consume the pies as stomach warming race fuel. The toughness of the race allows for racers to eat pretty much whatever they want. The more calories, the better. Takotna has gained a reputation for its dessert-based hospitality since the 1970s. (25) [It started with one person, Jan Newton. Jan moved from Idaho with her husband in 1972 and opened a restaurant. Her rich and filling fruit pies quickly got the racers’ attention, and the village gained some fame as a result.] Proud residents then started to refer to Jan as “Queen of Takotna”.

22. Why do a lot of people come to the village of Takotna every March? （为什么每年三月都有很多人来到塔科特纳村？）

解析：B。录音开头提到，每年三月，塔科特纳村就会人数猛增，因为有一场一年一度的赛事会途经此地。B项与此内容相符，其中的A race为原词复现，passes through是对录音中located in the middle的同义转述，annually是对every year的同义替换，故B项为正确答案。

错项排除：A项的sightseeing在录音中无依据，故排除。C项利用录音中出现的Iditarod Trail设置干扰，但录音中并没有提到clean的相关信息，故排除。D项利用录音结尾出现的Queen设置干扰，但录音中说的是村民称简为“塔科特纳女王”，没有说会在三月选出女王，故D项错误。
