In 1916, tw girls f wealthy families, best friends frm Auburn, N. Y. — Drthy Wdruff and Rsamnd Underwd — traveled t a settlement in the Rcky Muntains t teach in a ne-rm schlhuse. The girls had gne t Smith Cllege. They wre expensive clthes. S fr them t mve t Elkhead, Cl. t instruct the children whse shes were held tgether with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject f Nthing Daunted: The Unexpected Educatin f Tw Sciety Girls in the West by Drthy Wickenden, wh is a magazine editr and Drthy Wdruff's granddaughter.
Why did they g then? Well, they wanted t d smething useful. Sn, hwever, they realized what they had undertaken.
They mved in with a lcal family, the Harrisns, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket f snw n their quilt when they wke up in the mrning. Sme mrnings, Rsamnd and Drthy wuld arrive at the schlhuse t find the children weeping frm the cld. In spring, the snw was replaced by mud ver ice.
In Wickenden's bk, she expanded n the histry f the West and als n feminism, which f curse influenced the girls' decisin t g t Elkhead. A hair-raising sectin cncerns the building f the railrads, which entailed (牵涉) drilling thrugh the Rckies, ften in blinding snwstrms. The bk ends with Rsamnd and Drthy's return t Auburn.
Wickenden is a very gd stryteller. The sweep f the land and the sticism (坚忍) f the peple mve her t sme beautiful writing. Here is a picture f Drthy Wdruff, n her hrse, lking dwn frm a hill tp: "When the sun slipped behind the muntains, it shed a rsy glw all arund them. Then a full mn rse. The snw was marked nly by small animals: fxes, cytes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter."
4. Why did Drthy and Rsamnd g t the Rcky Muntains?
A . T teach in a schl. B . T study American histry. C . T write a bk. D . T d sightseeing.

6. Which part f Wickenden's writing is hair-raising?

Can a small grup f drnes (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability f railways and, at the same time, help railway peratrs save billins f eurs each year? That is the very likely future f applying tday's "eyes in the sky" technlgy t make sure that the millins f kilmetres f rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) wrldwide are safe fr trains n a 24/7 basis.
Drnes are already being used t examine high-tensin electrical lines. They culd d precisely the same thing t inspect railway lines and ther vital aspects f rail infrastructure such as the crrect psitin f railway tracks and switching pints. The mre regularly they can be inspected, the mre railway safety, reliability and n-time perfrmance will be imprved. Csts wuld be cut and peratins wuld be mre efficient (高效) acrss the bard.
That includes huge savings in maintenance csts and better prtectin f railway persnnel safety. It is calculated that Eurpean railways alne spend apprximately 20 billin eurs a year n maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, ften at night, t inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerus wrk that culd be avided with drnes assisting the crews' effrts.
By using the latest technlgies, drnes culd als start prviding higher-value services fr railways, detecting faults in the rail r switches, befre they can cause any safety prblems. T perfrm these tasks, drnes fr rail dn't need t be flying verhead. Engineers are nw wrking n a new cncept: the rail drnes f the future. They will be mving n the track ahead f the train, and prgrammed t run autnmusly. Very small drnes with advanced sensrs and AI and travelling ahead f the train culd guide it like a c-pilt. With their ability t see ahead, they culd signal any prblem, s that fast-mving trains wuld be able t react in time.
8. What makes the applicatin f drnes t rail lines pssible?
A . The use f drnes in checking n pwer lines. B . Drnes' ability t wrk at high altitudes. C . The reductin f cst in designing drnes. D . Drnes' reliable perfrmance in remte areas.
9. What des "maintenance" underlined in paragraph 3 refer t?
A . Persnnel safety. B . Assistance frm drnes. C . Inspectin and repair. D . Cnstructin f infrastructure.
10. What functin is expected f the rail drnes?
A . T prvide early warning. B . T make trains run autmatically. C . T earn prfits fr the crews. D . T accelerate transprtatin.
11. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A . What Faults Can Be Detected with Drnes B . Hw Prductin f Drnes Can Be Expanded C . What Difficulty Drne Develpment Will Face D . Hw Drnes Will Change the Future f Railways
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Minimizing the envirnmental damage that new rads cause is generally regarded as a gd thing. But t d that, it helps t understand just hw new rads cause the damage f which they are accused.
Recently, a grup f researchers led by Dr. Gnzalez cnducted an experiment and prved that immigratin is gd fr the health f animal ppulatins. A rad destrys nly a small part f the habitat, thus destrying just a few lcal ppulatins f creatures. S the argument that rad-building itself is bad fr bidiversity is nt self-evidently crrect. Thse wh nevertheless hld this view say that apparently separate lcal ppulatins f animals are, in fact, parts f much larger ppulatins cnnected via migratin.
Accrding t this thery, when a lcal ppulatin struggles t mve abut – because f an epidemic, fr example – individuals frm neighbring cmmunities can fill the gaps.
The implicatins f the thery are straightfrward. Cut lcal ppulatins ff frm each ther and each is mre likely t disappear. And rads are gd at ding just that. Testing the thery with experimental rads, hwever, wuld be expensive. Dr. Gnzalez's brainwave was t d the whle thing n a much smaller scale.
The team studied mss-cvered rcks. On sme rcks the researchers left the mss untuched; n thers they made "radways" acrss t leave the mss islated. After waiting six mnths, they fund that in the disturbed habitats nearly all the bug ppulatin had declined cmpared with undisturbed mss, and 40% f the species had becme extinct.
The real test came in the secnd part f the experiment. In this, the researchers remved mss much as befre, but they left narrw mss paths t bridge the n-bug's-land between islands. The islands with bridges did far better than islated islands – a result that supprts the ntin that ppulatin exchange is necessary t keep an ecsystem healthy.
Whether these results can be translated t large-scale ecsystems remains uncertain. But if they can, they wuld cause mre, nt less, cncern abut the eclgical effects f rad-building. On the ther hand, they als suggest a way ut. In Britain, tunnels are ften built under rads fr animals f regular habits, such as badgers(獾), t be able t travel their traditinal rutes withut having t fight with traffic. Extending that principle, perhaps special bridges might be a cheap way f letting man and nature rub alng a bit better.
12. What's the main idea f the passage?
A . Calling n us t stp building rads fr a healthy ecsystem. B . Warning us f ptential dangers f animal immigratin. C . Infrming us f the envirnmental damage caused by new rads. D . Suggesting a new way t avid the damage caused by new rads.
13. Dr. Gnzalez's experiment fund that____.
A . building rads is expensive B . immigratin is gd fr animals C . rads cut ff animal immigratin D . tunnels shuld be built under rads
14. Hw des the authr present his pint?
A . By analyzing facts. ​​ B . By giving examples. C . By prviding scientific findings.​​ D . By cmparing pssible effects.
15. Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing statements will the writer agree with?
A . The impact f rad-building is nt as serius as we thught. B . Rad-building is beneficial t animal immigratin. C . Envirnmental damage caused by rad-building is still uncertain D . envirnmental damage caused by rad-building might be lessened
