四、班会的最后，Lily 老师给大家展示了一组图片，记录了她家乡近十年来的变化。阅读Lily老师的发言，给下列图片排序并回答问题。
Ten years ago, my hometown was just a small village near a clean river. Life was very simple then. Most of the people fished on the boats. They got up early and came back late. Fishing was the main way for them to make money. Later, the only school in the village was built and children walked to school.
Now, the small village has become a big city. It has many tall buildings and department stores. Most people work in the office now. I love the city because there are many things to do. But sometimes I miss the quiet life before.

Question: Which do you prefer, life in the past or life now? Why?
I prefer life now, because technology makes it more convenient and easier.（答案不唯一）
答案：3 5 1 4 2
回答问题：I prefer life now, because technology makes it more convenient and easier.（答案不唯一）
解析：
【分析】首先梳理Lily老师发言的时间线：先讲述十年前家乡是近河小村庄，居民以捕鱼为生；接着提到后来村里建了学校，孩子步行上学；最后说明现在家乡变为有高楼、百货商场的大城市，发言主体是Lily老师。再对应五张图片：图3是河边小村庄（对应十年前场景），图5是捕鱼的船（对应过去的捕鱼生活），图1是步行上学的学生（对应建学校后的场景），图4是百货商场（对应现在的城市），图2是Lily老师（对应发言人物），据此匹配排序。回答问题时可结合自身偏好，说明合理理由即可。
【解析】第一步：梳理文本的时间逻辑：①十年前：家乡是近河小村庄，居民以捕鱼为主要谋生方式；②后来：村庄建成学校，孩子步行上学；③现在：家乡发展为有高楼、百货商场的大城市，发言者为Lily老师。第二步：匹配图片与文本内容，确定图片顺序为3、5、1、4、2。第三步：回答问题，可选择偏好现在的生活，理由可围绕便利性等展开，答案不唯一。
