16、son School District 2 turned to e-learning last spring, they made sure to provide each student with a laptop and the tools needed to succeed at home. But one remaining need in many families was Internet access.Christine OBrien, spokesperson for District 2 said, When you had many people learning and
17、working from home, sometimes there were Internet glitches. We wanted to avoid that and make sure students in our district could have equal chances to learn and that our families could learn from home as well.OBrien said that this year they made sure to survey each of their students to see who exactl
18、y needed the Internet.“This year we were really specific about asking whether families had Internet service at home without a phone, she said. They discovered that about a thousand families needed some sort of Internet connection.And thats where Altia came into play. A local software company heard t
19、here was an Internet shortage for students and it stepped in to see how they could help. Teaming up with local foundations (基金会), they were able to provide a monthly Internet service that allows many people to have Internet access at the same time.

21、ce this part. We worked so hard as a school district to get those devices into the hands of students but this was a piece that we werent ready to do.

With 9
25、7% of the worlds water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage (短缺) seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfull country, many of the worlds agricult
26、ural industries experience constant water shortages.Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution (重新分配) are very high. Notonly is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be
27、considered. Where valleys (山谷) are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water many flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water
28、to supply its farming requirements.This is particularly troubling to countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation (灌溉). In Texas, farmers overuse of irrigation water be resulted in a 25% redcution of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of south eastern USA, a huge
29、 water engineering project provided water for farming in dry vallege, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.Saudi Arabias attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have been the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these a
30、reas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.12From the first two paragraphs we learn that _.Amuch of the worlds water is available for useBpeople in high rainfll countries feel luckyCthe costs of water redistribution should be considere
31、dDwater can be easily carried through pipes across the world13Which of the following is true?AThe water in Texas have been reduced by 75%.BMost industries in the world suffer from water shortagers.CThe underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50 years.DGood management of water use resulted
