making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian (埃塞俄比亚的) teenager about her wedding day.The 16-year-old 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 ever-increasing 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 Sub-Saharan 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 exampleB．explaining the author’s opinionsC．describing the poor education systemD．coming straight to the topic2．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 AfricaB．keep girls in schoolC．let young girls remain singleD．keep girls in families详解答案课时作业(三十五)Ⅰ.单项填空1．解析：由答语“语言对我的事业很重要”可知应答者不同意上法语课是浪费时间，故B项That’s not the
