Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian (埃塞俄比亚的) teenager about her wedding day.The 16yearold had already been married for a year.“She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said，‘I had to drop out of school，’ ” Robinson said in a telephone interview.“That conveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson，the first woman to serve as Ireland’s president and former U．N.High Commissioner for Human Rights.“Her life，as far as she is concerned，had more or less ended.”
Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an everincreasing population，predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon.“European countries are concerned about aging populations，but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，”she said.“Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries，so that we have a very big challenge.”
Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in SubSaharan Africa.In May，the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100.Much of that growth will come from Africa，where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia’s 1 percent growth rate.If that rate stays consistent，which is not certain，Africa’s population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.
Joel Cohen，a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York，said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions.In addition to providing information about birth control，a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility，improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mindset of having many children in the hope that some will survive to improve the quality of each child’s life，Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.
1．In the first paragraph，the author introduces his topic by________.
A．giving an example
B．explaining the author’s opinions
C．describing the poor education system
D．coming straight to the topic
2．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.
B．Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.
C．Robinson is worried about the population growth.
D．Robinson encourages female education.
3．What is Joel Cohen’s view about secondary education? A．It provides basic knowledge of heahh.
B．It reduces aging population.
C．It makes people pay more attention to education.
D．It can change people’s parenting ideas.
4．According to the passage，the most important way to control high population growth is________.
A．let girls go away from Africa
B．keep girls in school
C．let young girls remain single
D．keep girls in families

语篇解读： 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了“我”在旅馆里看到一只苍蝇不停地试图穿过玻璃飞出去，这无疑是在自杀。它完全可以从旁边开着的门飞走。“我”从这件事得到启发：人们在遇到困难的时候，不应冒昧地尝试，应该有所突破，才有机会获得成功。
1．解析： 句意为：我听到了绝望的声音。listen to“听到”。A、B、C三项均没有“听到”的意思。
答案： D
2．解析： struggle意为“挣扎，斗争”；cry意为“哭，喊叫”；yell意为“叫喊”；test意为“测试”。由第二段第四句中 “the struggle is part of trap”的提示可知，此处应选用struggle。
答案： A
3．解析： bird意为“鸟”；fly意为“苍蝇”；insect意为“昆虫”；worm意为“爬虫”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in...”可知，B项正确。
答案： B
4．解析： experience意为“经验，经历”；direction意为“方向”；force意为“武力”；attempt意为“尝试”。根据上下文语境可知，苍蝇正在尝试穿过玻璃飞出去。
答案： D
5．解析： thus意为“因而”；so意为“所以”；although意为“虽然”；however意为“然而”。句意为：虽然苍蝇不断地尝试穿过玻璃窗，然而并不奏效。前后两句是转折关系。
答案： D
6．解析： unusual“不同寻常的”；likely“可能的”；impossible“不可能的”；common“寻常的”。由常识可知，苍蝇是不可能成功穿过玻璃飞出去的。答案： C
7．解析： dig“挖掘”；break“打破”；push“推”；jump“跳”。短语break through意为“突破，冲破”，符合语境。
答案： B
8．解析： kill“杀死”；die“死”；lie“撒谎，躺”；stick“粘贴”。由常识判断，如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃，就会死在那里。
答案： B
9．解析： away“距离……远”；far“远的”；near“近的”；distant“远的”。away用在名词后，表示距离某地有多远，符合语境。

答案： D
15．解析： that可引导定语从句，也可引导名词性从句；what引导名词性从句；which引导形容词性从句；where可引导定语从句和状语从句。从句中不缺任何成分，且句中先行词是idea，所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句，对idea进行补充说明。
答案： A
16．解析： sense“感觉，意识”，常和make构成短语，make sense意为“有意义”；difference“区别，不同”；effect“影响”；effort“努力”。句意为：毫无疑问，这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。
答案： A
17．解析： 在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式，是固定搭配。意为“解析法”。
答案： D
18．解析： advice“建议”；support“支持，支撑”；hope“希望”；power“力量”。此处与最后一段中的“If you________your hopes for a．..”相照应，故用hope符合语境。

语篇解读： 人口的快速增长困扰着世界。有关人士指出，控制人口快速增长的一种方式就是提高女性的受教育水平，进而改变人们头脑中固有的传统生育观念。1．解析： 篇章结构题。在本段中，作者以爱尔兰前总统Mary Robinson与埃塞俄比亚的一位已婚少女的交谈为例引入话题，所以A项正确。
答案： A
2．解析： 推理判断题。第二段引号中的内容提到“欧洲国家担心出现人口老龄化问题，但与人口快速增长相比，这算不了什么。几乎所有的人口增长都发生在发展中国家，这将是一个巨大的挑战。”由此可推断她担心的是人口增长问题。
答案： C
3．解析： 推理判断题。由最后一段的最后一句可知，Joel Cohen在《自然》杂志中写到中学教育可以改变人们的育儿理念。
答案： D
4．解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句前半部分中的内容可知，控制人口快速增长的最重要的方式之一是让女孩儿上学。
答案： B
