The key position and role of women in the process of development is increasingly being recognized. Although the three great World Conferences of Women were more concerned with recognizing and compiling approaches to emancipation we can currently confirm a general sharpening of awareness. It has become clear that the Third World cultures, in earlier times strongly matriarchal, have been weakened in this respect by the methods of colonial education which are almost exclusively directed towards the male. Of the many criticisms of this situation let one voice be heard: "Development education' groups and programs are very much male dominated and lack woman's perspective". So, too, the hopes placed in vocational training--"vocationalization'--as an aid to equality have been disappointed since this in its turn was to large extent focused on the male. In these circumstances we should not be surprised that until now women have participated least in the educational processes which have been introduced. Only 20% attend primary school and the percentage of those who leave early is highest among girls. Because of the lack of basic training only around 10% take part in Adult Education programs. Hence it is vitally important to secure a turning point by increasing the awareness of the need for education. The International Conference at Jomtien in 1990 provided the solution to this: "A more educated mother raises a healthier family. She has fewer and better educated children. She is more productive at home and in the workplace and is better able to get further education." Many problems in school are consequences of incorrect or improperly balanced nutrition combined with .inadequate hygiene. Together these factors can lead to failure to keep pace in school. Hence even primary education for girls should be directed towards the basic needs and necessities and provide answers which are as simple as possible. In rural districts such answers will be different from those given in urban areas. The education of girls and women must to a large degree be an education for the life they will lead, tailored to a woman's position. In saying this we are in fact demanding that the education of women, like all educational work in the Third World, should be an integrated part of the community. Consequently there are many partners in this process school, family, small businesses, governmental and non-governmental organizations. The educational skill consists in keeping this interplay active in such a way that there is no deficiency in material content. An important consequence of this is the awakening of the desire to question, which, on the one hand presses for further education and on the other hand for its practical application.

From the passage we can infer that in the Third World ______. A. the development education groups and programs is short of woman's perspective B. the methods of colonial education have made the matriarchal culture stronger than before C. the matriarchal culture was stronger in the past D. the matriarchal education is directed towards men
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】这是一道推论题。题干中的信号词是the Third World，出自于文章第一段第三句话中。文章第一段第三句话指出：很明显，第三世界的文化——早期强调母权制，在这个方面已经被殖民教育的方法削弱了。这说明，以前，母权制文化很强盛。 C说“过去，母权制文化更强盛”，这与文章的意思相符。文中提到woman's perspective时是说“在针对这种状况的许多批评中，我们应该听听这种意见——开发的教育群体与计划大部分由男性支配，缺少女性的观点”，不必推论就可知结果，所以A不对；B与文章第一段第三句话的意思相反；文中提到directed to wards时是说“殖民教育几乎只针对男性”，并没有说母权制教育针对男性，所以D不对。

It is very important to be more aware of the need for education of women because ______. A. so far very few girls and women take part in the educational processes B. women have at least participated in the educational processes C. only about 1/10 of women participate in continuing education D. only 1/5 of girls can enter elementary school and most of them have to quit early
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】这是一道细节题。题干中的信号词是aware of the need for education，出自于文章第二段最后一句话中。文章第二段指出：迄今为止，在采用的教育发展过程中，女性参加的活动最少；只有20%的女性读了小学，那些辍学者中，女孩的比例最高；由于缺乏基础训练，只有大约10%的女性参加了成人教育学习计划；因此，增强人们的教育需求意识以确保这种状况有所转变非常重要。这说明，原因是女性参加的教育活动最少。B说“女性参加的教育过程最少”，这与文章的意思相符。文中提到take part in the educational processes时是说“迄今为止，在采用的教育发展过程中，女性参加的活动最少”，这与A不符；文中提到“10%”时是说“只有大约10%的女性参加了成人教育学习计划”，并不是指参加继续教育，所以C不对；文中提到“20%”时是说“20%的女性读了小学，那些辍学者中，女孩的比例最高”，并没有说只有1/5的女孩能上小学，其，中的大多数不得不很早辍学，所以D不对。
