His _________ knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial.When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel，Barber knew it was impossible.Leaving his own flooding basement，he found no gas or food，realizing the situation was far worse than editors understood.At a Marion gas station，he photographed a man whose house was half-destroyed，a pure introduction to the degree of personal loss. copious Barber’s approach prioritized connection over quick disaster shots.“I’m trying to experience and listen，” he says，valuing the sense of place and people.While documenting shocking geological changes，he also sought resilience (韧性) and hope among the disaster.He met tired and hungry residents maintaining positive attitudes，like a Bat Cave-born volunteer firefighter in Chimney Rock who insisted，“We’ll be all right... Things will be a little different but we’ll still be here.” As national attention shifts，Barber will remain focused on Appalachia.“His rapid response during Helene confirmed my investment in staying rooted in place，” he says，ensuring his choice to live in Morganton over larger art centres.“I do feel like my work and my instruction are worthwhile.I just want to do my people good.” 　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了纪实摄影师Jesse Barber作为北卡罗来纳州西部本地人，以独特的视角记录飓风 Helene的破坏，重点关注受灾者的韧性和希望，体现了其对家乡的社会责任感。 4.What prepared Barber to cover Hurricane Helene？ A.His studies in big cities.

Whittenberg Elementary School were disappointed when they saw the runny mess. It was engineering week at A.J.Whittenberg，a public primary school in Greenville，South Carolina.One week per month，engineers from local industries visit the classrooms and talk to students about their careers. Greenville is now introducing the idea of a career path to students in primary school and giving students the option to follow those programs to middle and high schools.Each primary school focuses on a specific technical skill.The district allows students to attend schools outside of their attendance boundaries as long as space is available，which means students can choose to continue to follow their chosen career pathway at a middle school with corresponding programs. The effort in Greenville is part of a growing national trend in which school districts partner with local industries to develop curriculum (课程) and expose students to specialized careers at a young age. Some education experts worry the focus on industry qualifications has resulted in schools taking on responsibilities that should fall to businesses，like training workers for specific job duties，damaging a more comprehensive education in schools.“Schools are to not just prepare people for work and strengthen the economy，but also a place where students should experience art，music and think creatively，” said Jack Schneider，a professor of education at the University of Massachusetts. A teacher from Greenville，however，said，“Career exposure has a big impact on kids.We’re not really wanting them to make a decision—‘I’m in the second grade and now I’m locked into being whatever when I graduate from high school in 10 years.’ We just hope students walk across the graduation stage with plans for a career in mind.” Modern times need modern solutions.When students leave school，they need to be already down their road to college，if that’s what they’re going to do，or schools need to give them something that allows them to get to work and earn a living.Just getting out with a high school degree doesn’t do that. 　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南卡罗来纳州格林维尔一所公立小学A.J.Whittenberg的工程周。每个月有一周，来自当地行业的工程师会参观教室，与学生谈论他们的职业生涯。 8.Why were the third graders disappointed？ A.Their test failed.

However，there is a promising policy that comes from Malawi.This poor country has suffered from overcrowded classrooms，a lack of learning materials and a shortage of well-trained teachers.It’s not somewhere we might expect to find innovative solutions.Yet it is now adopting the so-called “technology-assisted learning” method that has shown hope in turning things around. Almost all around the globe，schools put all nine-year-olds in one grade，ten-year-olds in another，and so on.But many of the children in each class are either far behind or far ahead.Kids in Malawi are now spending one hour a day on adaptive software on a tablet.It first identifies where each child is at，and then teaches reading，writing and math at the kid’s exact level. Children have described the relief of not having to worry about being embarrassed about getting wrong answers in front of the class，or being forced to compete for time with their teachers.Researchers have been amazed by what the students have achieved.Extensive studies show that just one year of one hour each day can deliver an astonishing three years of normal learning.And the method is incredibly cheap，costing as little as $15 per pupil per year in Malawi，partly because using the tablet just one hour a day means it can be shared among many students. The experiment in Malawi shows how the entire poorer half of the world could improve learning for nearly half a billion primary school children.This approach could also be useful in rich countries，with early evidence from trials in the UK looking promising. As governments around the world are desperate for policies and approaches that could ensure that kids are better-equipped for the challenges of tomorrow，tablets to teach at each student’s own level may offer a powerful way forward. 　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了马拉维在改善学生学习成绩方面取得了显著成效，这主要得益于一种名为“技术辅助学习”的新方法。 12.What is the author’s attitude to the policy of increasing salaries for teachers？ A.Dismissive.
