【解析】

试题分析：文章描述了阿拉斯加的狗拉雪橇大赛以及它的由来。

【1】carrying 考查现在分词的用法。此处是现在分词carrying做伴随状语。

【2】known 考查过去分词的用法。此处修饰名词race，因为race与know是逻辑上的动宾关系，表被动，故用过去分词短语做后置定语。

【3】extremely 考查副词的用法。修饰形容词difficult用副词。

【4】temperatures考查名词的复数形式。根据后面的谓语动词range用的是原形，可知主语是复数。

【5】themselves 考查反身代词。句意：司机绝不能让自己和狗队分开。因为主语是drivers，复数，故反身代词用themselves。

【6】Indeed 考查副词的用法。此处Indeed意为：的确。

【7】goes 考查动词的时态。因为主语是the origin,故谓语动词用单数。

【8】when 考查定语从句的关系词。先行词是a time,在后面的从句中做时间状语，故用when引导。

【9】was 考查动词时态。因为是描述过去的情况，所以用一般过去时。

【10】in 考查固定短语。in time及时。句意：高兴的是，这批药及时送达，挽救了很多人的生命。
