What is the main topic of the passage? [br]
Rapid population growth, accelerating urbanization and prompt technology adoption are making Africa the world’s next major growth market, according to a recent analysis. Insights published in a bimonthly business magazine, Harvard Business Review Press, in November state that the continent is poised for economic acceleration akin to the Asian boom.
The authors say the continent is a breeding ground for firms eager to build large, profitable businesses. "There is a trillion-dollar opportunity to industrialize Africa, to meet rising domestic demand and create a global bridgehead."
However, it warned that Africa’s business environment remained poorly understood and known to many executives in the West only by its reputation for complexity, conflict and corruption.
Conversely, a United Nations agency, Economic Commission for Africa, has again identified East Africa as one of the fastest growing regions in the world. The region, covering Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and the latest addition South Sudan, has been growing at an average growth rate of 6.7 percent between 2013 and 2017, double the African average.
Average life expectancy has increased by 5.3 years over the past decade, with some countries, such as Kenya and Rwanda, registering unprecedented gains.
"There are of course still many challenges—chief among them being the need for faster job creation for the rapidly growing population—but on balance progress has been impressive. Life expectancy is a good general indicator of living standards, and the pace of change is one of the fastest in history," said Andrew Mold, acting director of the ECA in Eastern Africa, presenting an overview of economic and social developments in the region at the 22nd meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts, ICE in Kigali, Rwanda.
选项
A、It faces many challenges such as undue population growth.
B、It has witnessed balanced development in all senses.
C、The need for faster job creation has become the only challenge for Africa.
D、Higher life expectancy indicates improved living standards in Africa.
答案
D
解析
语义的理解与判断。从Andrew Mold的陈述“chief among them being the need for faster job creation for the rapidly growing population”可知,非洲面临的一大挑战是随着人口的迅速增长,需要加快创造工作机会。选项A中将人口过快增长作为非洲面临的挑战,不符合原文,选项C中将此作为非洲面临的唯一挑战,不符合原文。选项B中所述原文并未涉及,原文提到的是“on balance progress has been impressive”,意思是总体来说,非洲的发展是很令人赞叹的,并不是说其发展是平衡的。因此本题答案为选项D。着重听取题干中的关键词,如“population growth”,“balanced development”,“challenge”,“life expectancy”等,根据关键词相关信息判断选项是否符合原文的表述。
