In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N.Y. —
Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood — traveled to a settlement in the Rocky
Mountains to teach in a oneroom schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith
College. 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. Theirstay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education ofTwo Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor andDorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter.
Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do somethinguseful. 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 in themorning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse tofind the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud overice.
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. A hairraising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed (牵涉) drillingthrough the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond andDorothy’s return to Auburn.
Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍)of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of DorothyWoodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: “When the sun slipped behindthe mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snowwas marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, whichturned 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?
A. They enjoyed much respect. B. They had a room with a bathtub.
C. They lived with the local kids. D. They suffered severe hardships.
26. Which part of Wickenden’s writing is hairraising?
A. The extreme climate of Auburn. B. The living conditions in Elkhead.
C. The railroad building in the Rockies. D. The natural beauty of the West.
27. What is the text?
A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A children’s story. D. A diary entry.

Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railwaysand, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That isthe very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to making surethat the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwideare safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine hightension electrical lines. They coulddo precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of railinfrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. Themore regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and ontimeperformance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be moreefficient (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 sending maintenancestaff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerouswork that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing highervalueservices for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause anysafety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flyingoverhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future.
They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to runautonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead ofthe train could guide it like a copilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signalany problem, so that fastmoving 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 work at high altitudes.
C. The reduction of cost in designing drones.
D. Drones’ reliable performance in 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
D
The Government’s sugar tax on soft drinks has brought in half as much money asMinister first predicted it would generate, the first official data on the policy hasshown.
First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing morethan 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity (肥胖). Itis believed that today’s children and teenagers are consuming three times therecommended level of sugar, putting them at a higher risk of the disease.
Initially the sugar tax was expected to make £520m a year for the Treasury. However,data of the first six months showed it would make less than half this amount. Atpresent it is expected to generate £240m for the year ending in April 2019, which willgo to school sports.
It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cutby manufacturers (制造商) so they can avoid paying the tax. Drinks now contain 45million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers’ efforts to avoid the charge,according to Treasury figures. Since April drinks companies have been forced to paybetween 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or import, dependingon the sugar content.
However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar taxand are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milkbaseddrinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small companiesmanufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.
Today’s figures, according to one government official, show the positive influence thesugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities ( 设 施 ) andhealthier eating in schools. Helping the next generation to have a healthy and activechildhood is of great importance, and the industry is playing its part.
32. Why was the sugar tax introduced?
A. To collect money for schools. B. To improve the quality of drinks.
C. To protect children’s health. D. To encourage research in education.
33. How did some drinks companies respond to the sugar tax?
A. They turned to overseas markets. B. They raised the prices of their products.
C. They cut down on their production. D. They reduced their products’ sugar content.
34. From which of the following is the sugar tax collected?
A. Most alcoholic drinks. B. Milkbased drinks.
C. Fruit juices. D. Classic Coke.
35. What can be inferred about the adoption of the sugar tax policy?
A. It is a shortsighted decision. B. It is a success story.
C. It benefits manufacturers. D. It upsets customers.

Young children across the globe enjoy playing games of hide and seek. For them,there’s something highly exciting about 41 someone else’s glance and makingoneself unable to be seen.
However, we all witness that preschool children are remarkably 42 at hiding. Theyoften cover only their eyes with their hands, leaving the rest of their bodies 43 .
For a long time, this ineffective hiding method was 44 as evidence that children arehopelessly “egocentric” (自我中心的) creatures. But our 45 research results in childdevelopmental psychology 46 that idea.

Each 47 sat down with an adult who covered her own eyes or 48 . We then askedthe child if she could 49 or hear the adult. Surprisingly, children replied that theycouldn’t. The same 50 happened when the adult covered her own mouth: 51 children said that they couldn’t 52 to her.
A number of 53 ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were beingasked. The results were clear: Our young subjects 54 the questions and knew 55 what was asked of them. Their 56 to the questions reflected their true 57 that “Ican see you only if you can see me, too.” They simply 58 mutual ( 相 互 的 )recognition and regard. Our 59 suggest when a child “hides” by putting a blanketover her head, it is not a result of egocentrism. In fact, children consider this method60 when others use it.
