The number of girls married in Africa is expected to double in the next 35 years, experts say. That means almost half, or 310 million girls, by 2050 will be married before they reach adulthood, says a United Nation’s report. The African Union says it wants to end child marriage in Africa.
Delegates at a summit in Zambia are expected to set 18 years old as the lowest legal age for marriage across the continent. Marriage before age 18 is already against the law in most African countries.
Yet the UN says more than 125 million African women and girls alive today were married before their 18th birthday. Experts say most were given to men in traditional or religious unions in violation of the law.
African Union chairwoman Nkosozana Planum Zuma says local culture that undervalues girls and women is to blame. Poverty and lack of education are also responsible, experts say.
1. What do we learn from the United Nation’s report?
2. What is the reason for child marriage in Africa?
选项
A、Poverty and lack of education.
B、Local culture that undervalues children.
C、The low legal age for marriage.
D、High risks of becoming teenage mothers.
答案
A
解析
新闻的结尾引用非盟女主席的话,指出轻视女性的当地文化(undervalues girls and women)以及贫穷和教育落后(Poverty and lack of education)应为童婚现象负责,A复现后者,为正确答案。B错在children,当地文化轻视的只是女孩,不是所有children。C“合法结婚年龄低”与新闻内容相反,新闻中明确提到在大多数非洲国家,18岁是合法结婚的年龄。D“成为青少年母亲的风险高”未在新闻中提到。
