        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”.

24. Who comes to help with the event of the year?（谁会来帮忙筹备每年最大的赛事？）

解析：B。录音中间部分提到，临近每年最大的赛事时，全村的人都会出钱帮忙筹备。B项与此内容相符，其中的The entire village是对录音中The whole village的同义替换，故B项为正确答案。

错项排除：根据录音，人们会在比赛中将馅饼送给参赛者吃，而不是由参赛者来筹备赛事，故排除A项。录音中虽然提到简·牛顿，但未提到她的朋友们，故排除C项。D项利用录音中提到的Idaho设置干扰，但这里说的是简·牛顿是从爱达荷州搬来的，与筹备赛事无关，故排除D项。
