A United Nations agency estimates that 516 million of the world’s women cannot read and write. The U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) says programs are needed to help illiterate women learn, although they are past school age.
[16] Women make up two-thirds of all illiterate adults. The majority of these women live in West Africa; many girls in that area never go to school. But in Liberia, a new education program is giving women in their 30s, 40s and 50s another chance to learn to read and write.
Pauline Rose heads UNESCO’s worldwide Monitoring Report on Education for All; she says being illiterate causes huge problems in daily life. [17] She notes situations like not being able to read directions on a medicine bottle, or the number on a bus.
"So there are real practical concerns about when women are illiterate."
Miss Rose says illiterate affects not only the women but also their families, because women are often the main caregivers of children. She says when women are illiterate, they are less likely to use health services.
Some countries, like Senegal, have improved women’s literacy rates through government efforts. [18] They tell more girls in primary school and community programs about the importance of education. But there are still many nations where less than one in four women can read and write. They include Niger, Benin, Mali and Burkina Faso.
Miss Rose says these countries need literacy programs that target women. She says there is a huge need for illiterate young women and adults to have a second-chance to read and write.
Liberia for example, has launched a second-chance literacy campaign to teach women. The students never went to school, or they were forced to leave school because of ten years of civil war in the country.
Lonee Smith is 35 years old. She is a student at the adult literacy school at the Firestone Liberia Natural Rubber Company in Margibi County. Her parents did not send her to school, and she could not read or write.
Now she is in the first grade and has those skills. She sells her goods at the market and can now count her profit without help. She says having a second chance at education has changed her life.
"Today, I am a happy woman. I’m very proud."
Liberia’s Ministry of Education says 5,000 women currently study in adult literacy programs across the country.
16. What do we learn about women and illiteracy from the lecture?
17. What problem might illiterate women encounter?
18. What does Senegal do to improve women’s literacy rates?
19. What do we learn about Lonee Smith?
选项
A、Women start learning when they are past school age.
B、There are more illiterate women than men.
C、All of the illiterate women live in West Africa.
D、Women learn to read and write with UNESCO.
答案
B
解析
选项均为一般陈述句,且都出现了women和illiterate等关键词,预测问题与女性文盲率的事实有关。录音中提到在未受过教育的成年人中女性占了三分之二,也就是说文盲的女性比男性多,故B项正确。世界教科文组织倡议相关项目帮助文言女性学习,即使她们已经过了上学的年龄,但这并不是说女性都是超过学龄以后才开始学习。因此A项错误。“大部分”文盲女性住在西非,而非“所有”文言女性,C项错误。UNESCO希望教育项目帮助女性学习,并非D项所说女性都通过教科文组织学习读写。
