In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N.Y.—Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood—traveled to a settlement in the RockyMountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to SmithCollege. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. toinstruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise.Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The UnexpectedEducation of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is amagazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff's granddaughter.

Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon,however, they realized what they had undertaken.

They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had littleprivacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up inthe morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouseto find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced bymud over ice.

In Wickenden's book, she expanded on the history of the West and also onfeminism, which of course influenced the girls' decision to go to Elkhead. Ahair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, whichentailed(牵涉)drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The bookends with Rosamond and Dorothy's return to Auburn.

Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and thestoicism(坚忍)of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a pictureof Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: "When the sunslipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a fullmoon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, andvarying hares, which turned white in the winter."

24. Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains?

A. To teach in a school. B. To study American history.

C. To write a book. D. To do sightseeing.

25. What can we learn about the girls from paragraph 3?

26. Which part of Wickenden's writing is hair-raising?

A. The extreme climate of Auburn. B. The living conditions in Elkhead.

C. The railroad building in the Rockies. D. The natural beauty of theWest.

27. What is the text?

A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A children's story. D. A diaryentry.

Can a small group of drones(无人机)guarantee the safety and reliability ofrailways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euroseach year? That is the very likely future of applying today's "eyes in the sky"technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks andinfrastructure(基础设施)worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.

Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. Theycould do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vitalaspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracksand switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railwaysafety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cutand operations would be more efficient(高效)across the board.

That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection ofrailway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spendapproximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sendingmaintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the railinfrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with dronesassisting the crews' efforts.

By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providinghigher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches,before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones forrail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a newconcept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track aheadof the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones withadvanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like aco-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, sothat fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.

28. What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible?

A. The use of drones in checking on power lines. B. Drones' ability to workat high altitudes.

C. The reduction of cost in designing drones. D. Drones' reliable performancein remote areas.

29. What does "maintenance" underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Personnel safety. B. Assistance from drones.

C. Inspection and repair. D. Construction of infrastructure.

30. What function is expected of the rail drones?

A. To provide early warning. B. To make trains run automatically.

C. To earn profits for the crews. D. To accelerate transportation.

31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones

B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded

C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face

D. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways

Today's figures, according to one government official, show the positiveinfluence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sportsfacilities(设施)and healthier eating in schools. Helping the next generation tohave a healthy and active childhood is of great importance, and the industry isplaying its part.
